9/03/20Hello again!
This week was pretty tiring - I had my Further Maths SAC on Wed/Thurs/Fri, but I'll get into more detail about that later. We just learnt about Selye's General Admission Syndrome and the Exhaustion stage hit me like a brick because I've been sick over the whole long weekend
Anyway, let's get into it!
Further Maths - ALRIGHTY I had my first SAC (apart from Chinese, but as that was an oral it doesn't
really count as a first SAC??) It was split over three lessons and covered the topic of Finance. The first part was pretty hard, but I finished exactly n time and didn't feel too bad about my answers. The second part I found way harder and although I finished, I'm not confident in my answers so that's a bit of a rip. And the third part was way easy? I've probably made a dumb mistake though ahah. Overall, Finance wasn't that bad, but I think my next topic is measurement and IDK why but I was never taught simple maths as a kid like shapes/what the hell a meter was, so it;s literally my worst topic which won't be fun.
Literature - GUESS WHAT GUYS!! LITERATURE IS NO LONGER MY OFFICIAL LEAST FAVOURITE SUBJECT! After getting slightly less intimidated by my teacher (although she says the craziest things sometimes) and as we've started out second text, North and South, the classes have been chill, because my teacher talks so much we literally get nothing done. I had some homework from it this weekend and it was pretty hard, just a Marxist analysis thing I'm pretty bad at, but I'll try to fix it tomorrow morning.
Chinese SL - I honestly could not tell you what's going on here. The Year Eleven's in my combined class are about to do a presentation or something and as we (the three Year Twelve's ahah) don't have it as a SAC we're just doing these bullshit way too hard reading comprehension questions about random markets in China.
Psychology - Very chill as per usual. Because my SAC isn't for another fortnight, I literally had not been paying attention in class/taking it seriously, so I had like three straight hours of notes to type up today and it was torture.
Global Politics - We're studying ISIS now and it;s alright. On top of the work, and we had this practice question we had to answer and I thought I would get a two out of six because I had no idea what was going on, but I actually got a five?? Maybe I'm a little better at this subject than I thought? We did a practice SAC on Tuesday and I'll probably get it back tomorrow, so hopefully, I didn't do too bad on that lol. (However, I also forgot what global governance was so idk.)
Favourite subject right now: Maybe Global?
Least favourite subject right now: Surprisingly, I don't have one! (This week ahah)
Something I'm excited for this week: Um, I guess finding out what I'm doing in math although I think it's measurement rip.
Any SAC's or tests this week: NOPE But the week after and the one after that are looking terrible :/
Homework: Um, I already did all my homework? But I had to write a page of notes for Global, Type up half the term's content for psychology and do this Literature passage anaysis thig and of course my dumbass left them all to do today.
As I think I promised last time, here are my Study Score Predictions!! (And wishes because let's be realistic here)
I'm aiming for an 88 ATAR, but tbh don't think I'll get it?? So I'm not expecting too much.
Further Maths - Alright I am hoping for a
34, but I think I'll get a
33 as I'll probably think a parallelogram in a trapezium or something like that (don't even @ me lol, I always do bad on Math exams which is especially bad when it;s 66% of the grade)
Literature -Hmmm, because I'm ranked low in my class, I am hoping for a
34, but think I'll get a
33 again tbh. Honestly, I should have just done English and dealt with the oral and shit because I think I could get a 36 smh.
Chinese SL - I predict a
22! I'd be happy with this because I want to beat this girl last year who got a 21, so I think I can do it!
Psychology - Ok so this is aiming high, but I really was a
40+ in at least one subject and Psychology is that subject so... do I think I'll get it? No, I think I'll get a
38 tbh, but I need to work hard in this, hence why I just typed up all my notes yeet.
Global Politics - Hmmm, I predict a
36 and I'd be happy with that.
I know these predictions/wants won't get me to an 88 ATAR, but I'm just going to try my best and see how it goes
See you again soon!
