I finished the poster and submitted it an hour before the deadline. I'm glad it's gone... I probably won't get above a C, but I don't care. I just wanted to get rid of it. I feel like it could have been a good project, but it wasn't fun at all. Probably because I don't care about E. coli enough to study it out of class. I like the evolution/dating part of this subject best.
Over the holidays I have to write a 1k word essay (was 1.5k but someone threw a fit and the teacher reduced it hahaha) on Indian English. I'm half Indian, how hard can it be? Pretty damn hard, because I know 0 Indian people and -1 alive Indian people with accents.
I was going to do Taglish since my old facebook has more Taglish than English, but chose not to since that's a pidgin.
We did a weird experiment in Physics the other day. Cut up some jelly into what were supposed to be lenses and shone light through them. The lenses were more like amorphous blobs tbh, but mine did refract the light the way it was supposed to. Yay. I got a bit of a talking-to for working alone and was sent to work with my classmates. It was more fun working with them (because I didn't know what they were trying to do and getting them to talk is kind of hard), but it's a lot harder to get anything done (because I didn't know what they were trying to do and getting them to talk is kind of hard). I'm not sure if I prefer this to working on my kitchen counter in an empty house. Not much equipment and solitude vs piles of equipment and people. Hmm.
There's an EPI coming up for Physics. I don't care about motion, but since it's probably the easiest topic to study I'm picking it.
(If a Year 11 student from the future is reading this and trying to choose a topic, I'm going to study a pendulum and how its mass/string length affects the velocity. 10/10 easy and will make your teacher happy. Someone else is going to run electric currents through pencils, which sounds a lot cooler but is probably going to be harder.)
I forgot to do my maths homework... End of term can't come fast enough. My tutor won't mind (she's somewhat lenient because rather than teaching me concepts she's trying to make me more confident), but I do. It feels like I'm setting myself up to fail next year.
