✰Update: 31/12✰Ashmi: *Magically decides to do a journal update*
AN: *Those who are addicted to this journal*
✰Song of this journal update✰
How do I even start this update? So many of you probably know that yesterday was the day that results come out for the VCE kids.
Let's just describe how the last 48 hours went. I went out the day before results with someone to get my mind off the whole "Results are coming out tomorrow" mindset. We shopped for the whole day (boxing day sales of course), binged eat and attempted to relax.
Got home, made dinner (carbonara which is Evolio's fav) then shortly after I fell asleep cause I was dead tired from walking. Now if you know me well, I love my sleep. I was quite frustrated when someone woke me up at 6:30am, especially from my dream of a Maccas run where I was stuffing my face with hash browns. I was completely disorientated and there were multiple people messaging or trying to call me. Then I quickly caught on that it was ATAR day. So here I am, it's now 6:35am and I'm trying to comfort one of my closest friends before scores are released.
Out of nowhere, someone else decides to call me and explain that "the emails" are out. At that point, I had to drag myself out of my beautiful, warm bed to look at my computer. I already accepted the fact I wasn't going to get what I needed and just decided "You know what let's just check it". Sat on my chair, turn on my computer, went to my emails and once I checked my scores I thought I was hallucinating.
There was one subject that stood out too much. I really thought I was half asleep and that maybe going back to bed would be a good idea. But no matter how much I looked at that one score it didn't change. That was the moment I burst into tears.
"I'm not a lucky person", "this must be a mistake", "I've got someone else's score not mine". So I just sat there, crying and trying to make some sense of that number at 6:50 in the bloody morning. I'm on a call with someone and he is asking me what's wrong while I hear my Dad knocking on the door (who clearly hears me sobbing and couldn't sleep that night cause he was worried about me) and asking me if I'm alright.
What was I sobbing my head off about? Of course, it's PDT.
So VCAA, you are telling me that you liked the blue squirrel tactile play mat that turns into a backpack that I drew in the exam? Whoever was marking my exam must of been very generous or had a good sense of humour. If there was one picture that could describe my exam performance in PDT it would be this:
Well why was I crying?
Spoiler
I got a Raw 50 for PDT.
What shocks me, even more, is that there seems to be only 4 other people that got a 50 this year.
Also, don't bother trying to find my name cause I didn't give my consent for my name to be released this year hehe.That is the only study score I'm talking about cause I said in my journal previously I wouldn't talk about any of them. (My school told everyone about which subjects got perfect scores so I can't really hide it hence why its an exception for this update). I got lucky. Very, very lucky and I'm still processing how this happened. Also, I just got an email saying I've been rejected from Top Designs for final exhibition. I'm pretty happy with the fact I've gotten this far! Although I may have not gotten in, at least I get my name and school displayed on the shortlisted area which is an achievement alone. If there is one thing I want to say, it's that PDT singlehandedly, carried me to the ATAR I needed. I've always wondered if moving schools for PDT was worth the pain, but now I can say I'm truly grateful for making that decision.
Also, I got the ATAR I need!! (My readjusted goal was 88). If you have been following this journal from the start, originally I wanted a 96 and by some miracle I got much higher than that too so I guess you can say I accomplish both goals whoop whoop!
I am really excited for 2021 and UniMelb HERE I COME!
