Heyoo! I’ve been reading through your journal and I have to say wowowowow. It’s so amazing to see a fellow year 11 (next year, but same thing) trying so hard to achieve their goals!!
Also, I don’t if you mentioned this already but what LOTEs are you currently doing?
Keep up with the good work and hope you’ll be able to do well on your studies and other things. Also, good luck with commencement.. I feel your pain haha  ;)
Do you very best, and nothing less!

Thanks, I'm glad the large amount of red (incomplete tasks) in my journal didn't scare you!

I'd rather not say which LOTE's I'm doing

Thanks again :). I really need to find that study/chill balance.

Hey, Snow Leopard!  ;D
How are you going with your goals?
Quite badly :-[

Bump! How are you finding that your sleep pattern is changing with school holidays?
Well, I've been waking up at a later time and going to bed at a later time as well. What's really concerning is that I'm actually oversleeping a lot, which is quite bad.

9/12/2019 - 21/12/2019
How I've gone so far with General Goals for the Holidays:
- Wake up at  9:00 am and go to bed at 10:00 pm to read until 11:30 I've been going to bed at 1-2am and waking up at 12:30am
- Drink around 4 bottles of water (around 600ml each) Yep
- Do at least 30 mins or more of Physical Activity I've only been exercising sporadically really
- Reduce lollies and sugary food Nope

In terms of Language logs, I've still done nothing for both languages and haven't even touched my holiday HW. I'm planning on being more productive from tomorrow/today onwards though.

Specific Goals for 21/12/2019:
- Go to bed/like actually sleep after posting this
- Organise my desk (there's too much stuff on it)
- Type up the list of Holiday HW that I have to get done
- 1 hour of Vocabulary for LOTE 3/4 (this includes writing the vocab list)
- 1 hour of Vocabulary for LOTE 1/2 (this includes writing the vocab list)
- Wrap (I can't remember the actual name of it) my textbooks
- Read up to pg250 of Lit book
- Hopefully buy the last of the Christmas presents and wrap them all up!

I'll be back at 9:30 pm tomorrow at the latest to update y'all on how I went and hopefully I don't go AWOL on you guys again ;D

Love this organisation Snow! This is something I could never imagine doing, you're doing an exceptional job at preparing. Just make sure not to burn yourself out over these summer holidays! You'll have plenty of time to order your life from week one of term, so maybe take a few days off in between now and the last week of holidays before getting a strong groove before Term begins  :)

Look forward to your update tonight! I often make schedules like this and I find that scheduling in a couple of half hour breaks throughout the day can also be helpful! Don't burn yourself out!

Haven't updated for a while now so I'll start off with:
Realisations about Yr 11
Overall, I came into Yr 11 thinking that it would be like Yr 9 and 10.
The truth is that in Yr 9 and 10, you can cram and if you know how to do it properly, then cramming works. The only downside is obviously you don't retain as much for exams and also that it's quite stressful.
But to all crammers out there, CRAMMING DOES NOT WORK IN VCE. Simply because there is that much content that you NEED to give yourself a good amount of time to go through everything. VCE does not reward students who work effectively for short bursts of time. Instead, it rewards those who work hard and smart consistently throughout the year.

So while cramming might work in Yr 9/10. I reckon building better study habits is probably for beneficial for you in the long-term.

Another Realisation
Being part of the AN community is great. But I feel like being surrounded by so many high-achieving students, seeing so many 45's and 50's in peoples signatures has fooled me into thinking that it's easy to do well in VCE and that it's easy to score highly. Reality check: it's not. It will take a lot of hard work and at the end of the day If I'm not willing to put in the hard yards the results won't follow.

Ahhh OMGG!! T h i s ! ! ! I honestly felt this on my soul too...  I also think taking a break from everything once in a while can really help with everything!
Good luck with everything! :D
Do you very best, and nothing less!
