So schools been back for nearly a week now and I am already wishing we could be on holidays again. Holidays always seem like they go too quickly.
I finished my last mock exam today. I was again reminded of how much I need to sit down and ACTUALLY study for my 3/4's, but I have 3 SAC's next week (Chem on Monday, English on Thursday, and Methods on Friday
) so that's probably more important right now.
As for how each subject is going...
English - I only had 2 classes this week because of mock exams (well, I could have had none because we could have the whole day of the exam off, but for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to go to classes
). We got a practice SAC back from last term (that I may have completely forgotten about) and I did really well, which was a huge surprise since it was a comparative language analysis thing, and we basically hadn't learnt how to write them. I may have changed how I was planning to do it with about 20 minutes left, when I still had to write another 2 paragraphs plus a conclusion, but anyway...
Health - Again I only had 2 classes (one of these is tomorrow), which is good. We have started the last area of study on australia's healthcare system (I think), so we have been looking at medicare and PBS or something. Not exactly my favourite content but oh well.
Bio - We have no classes this week because of the mock exams, but of course revision. I feel like there is so much content to get through in so little time...I guess I'll just have to keep making my way through those tedious, 2h45minute practice exams. I mean, how else would anyone want to spend their weekends? I got a mark back for my first SAC this morning, and even though I know it is a decent result, I still am a little upset, as I feel like I could have done better. We only had 2 days to cover the content that was about 1/2 the marks, so it was really stressful, and I went in feeling really unprepared. But hey, I learnt from it, right?
Chem - Ah! chem (+ methods) is definitely going in my bottom 2 next year... the content never seems to really click in my head (probably because its the work that I put off the most), but I keep telling myself that I'll do better next year...we'll have to see about that. I have a SAC on Monday, but I haven't even had a chance to go over anything, things have been just too hectic. Fingers crossed everything goes okay.
Further - Mock Exams, so no classes this week. We had 2 exams (yesterday and today), which seem to have gone okay. I got a really good mark on exam 1 (Multiple choice) (at least in comparison to the other exam scores that I got in practice exams) so I have a bit of hope, at least.
Methods - *runs away, never to be seen again*... we're doing trig at the moment, and I have absolutely no clue what I am doing. We didn't have time to do it at the end of last year, so I am going from what I remember from year 9 maths (which is basically nothing). We figured out that in the next 6ish weeks, we need to get through the rest of this topic (which we have the SAC for next week), plus another 3, so not sure how thats going to turn out. Now, all I have to do it catch up on what we have done so far, finish my summary book, actually learn what to do, and do the SAC, then start again! Sounds easy *gulp*
As for my personal life, I might be going out for dinner on Friday with a few friends (?) and I have a netball game on Saturday, which will be good. Plus work on Sunday, and then another fun week of SAC's!
That's pretty much it. School's pretty stressful, cause everything keeps getting piled on, but I've managed so far. I keep thinking that I'll look back on it some day and be grateful for it all, but for some reason, right now, I feel like I'm kinda just floating through. I don't really get overly stressed, but if I do, it all comes in pretty much one day of overthinking everything, and the next day I'm fine again, which is probably a good thing. Anyway, I'll try and keep updating this over the next little while, but I'll see how I go!
