This has been an exhausting week. Thank goodness for the long weekend! I've made some small but decent progress on my major works. I also FINALLY started sticking to a study timetable - I have been severely underestimating the time I allocate for studying. I'll start studying and be barely done with anything, and two hours have passed!
I also finally found out my rankings from my school report!! I'm pretty happy with them, so let's hope that I can maintain/improve them with my last assessments and Trials.
English Adv- We wrote an essay on the 2019 HSC question for Mod B and did a peer editing activity with another class. I thought it was a bit weird writing an essay so early, but I think I will understand the text better as I write, strangely enough.
- Ranked 4th for Eng woohoo!!!
Modern History- Continuing with the content on Indochina. Our teacher wants to finish the topic by Week 8 - I have many doubts on this since we don't seem to be close to be finishing anytime soon :///
- Ranked 3rd
- I'm so happy after realising that I only have to write two proper essays in the HSC; the Core Study and the last module are both short responses/mini essays. However, I also realised that I haven't been writing enough practise essays - I need to finish writing the essay that I never gave in from like a term ago lol
Legal Studies- We looked at how to approach essay question for Family Law; not as intimidating as I thought, but again, I need to practise writing essays for Crime
- Rank: 1
Japanese- We've finished the content, so in class, we've been doing all types of revision. Today we did Kahoot, which was super fun!
- Rank: 3
S&C- So apparently we've finished our last topic?? We've been going over Belief Systems again, but I feel like our class didn't fully go over it...
- Rank: 1
- Also came to the realisation that I have no idea how to write a good S&C essay despite my teacher giving me good marks: big YIKES. I need to stop neglecting SAC. It's easy to toss it aside as an 'easy' subject, which may be true in some aspects - it's definitely not as mentally strenuous as Modern History, but if I continue to be complacent, I won't be able to maintain my rank.
- I NEED TO FINISH MY PIP DRAFT EEEEEE!!!! why did I leave it until now
(
Extension History- We're looking at more essays for our case study, JFK. I'm stressing because I have the History Project due in less than 3 weeks and I still haven't written a draft. And this on top of the PIP draft is driving me nuts - basically two PIPs in two weeks, if you count all the referencing, footnotes, annotations etc.
- Rank: N/A
That's the current status of my subjects. Approaching the end of the term, where we have to start writing essays and applying our knowledge. I know the end of the term is going to be absolutely hectic, so I'm trying to focus on getting my major works and notes in line before the madness.
Thanks for reading!
