13/9
themes of today: oh my goodness it is so hot
and windy today; english teachers can go away
period 1 - modern // today was the last lesson of modern ever :-( i'll miss learning about history so much (unless i end up doing a BA). we played kahoot again today, and took a few photos. our teacher was reluctant to take a photo with us (he took one on his ipad first) then i convinced him to take a selfie with the class, to which he asked where my selfie stick was 😂 modern will definitely be the subject i miss the most.
period 2 - study // very very very unproductive. it was the last study period ever though, so whatever. the class split into two, one watched game of thrones, and the other just did nothing. our supervising teacher watched game of thrones with the other half hahahaha. spent the entire lesson reminiscing about primary school memories, especially my friend and i who talked about this gifted and talented program we did in primary. so many memories hahah
period 3 - legal // spent the lesson doing absolutely nothing, because our teacher forgot to turn up 😂 he did remember to come to class with half an hour to go, and my friend and i spent that time asking about stuff that happened in the cold war, and if we remembered any of it (he did). quite an interesting lesson, ended with us saying we could use him as one of our historiography examples (an example of what he said, and i quote, "gorbachev advocated for partial democracy, which was a factor in the collapse of communism.").
period 4 - catholic studies // had a bit of a catholic studies party, and we spent the lesson eating, and talking about stuff after hsc.
period 5 - maths // i think our teacher had planned for us to do work, but we spent the lesson talking about the evolution of our class 😂 myself and three other girls dropped from 3u to 2u at the beginning of year 12 last year, and our teacher was saying how the class didn't really talk until we came. we then spoke about the other classes we had that people didn't talk in, as in we don't answer questions. although we have another lesson tomorrow, our class gift came today - a huge bouquet of flowers and chocolates, and the flowers were SO PRETTY (wish i'd taken a photo of them!). it's nice to see how grateful teachers are for the stuff we get them, but really, it's the things they've done for us that are amazing.
last day tomorrow!!! going to be a good one (except for english).
rant
i sent in a creative here on AN, and got pretty positive feedback, so submitted it to the english marking box at the beginning of this week, and got a 7/15. not going to like i'm kinda cut, but apparently for a short story (not even that, we can just call it 1000 words) you need a climax and everything? like okay i'll try and fix it but i'm not going to bother trying my best to fix something i'm not good at, because i know i can do way better in the modules, and sections 1/3 of paper 1 so i think i'll try my best to ace those and scrape a pass in the creative.
it's annoying because i know i'm a creative thinker, but i'm not the best writer. writing wise, i'm more logical and analytical. english is going to ruin my atar, because i know i can manage around 80 in maths, and 85+ for my other subjects and i'll probably get a 50 in english (knock on wood). can't wait to get this stupid subject over and done with.
all the love,
