Hello there.
So this whole forum thing is quite new to me (you could probably tell that I'm new to the site). To be honest, I've always been reluctant to join HSC forums because I've seen forums where people respond sarcastically or are just plain rude. I mean, come on guys we're all on the same boat! But after attending two HSC Head Start Lectures- physics with Jake and modern history with Susie (omg you guys are amazing), I decided to try and have a go at this forum.
So hey! I'm Olivia and I'm very awkward ._. Here are a few things about me:
- I am an awkward turtle who is crippling with stress and paranoia, hence my dark humour
- I love reading Classic Literature (Mr Darcy and Mr Thornton FTW!)
- For some reason, I enjoy watching documentaries, especially history documentaries
- I watch a lot of video game walkthroughs/game plays. Ironically, I have an X-box downstairs but I'm too lazy to go downstairs and physically play video games. Plus, I'm too broke to constantly buy new games ;-;
- I like looking up unrelated HSC maths and physics stuff like reading about Fermat's Last Theorem, Poincarč Conjecture and have read two of Stephen Hawking's books
- My favourite TV shows include Game of Thrones, Rick and Morty and Victoria
- I also like making study notes, even though they're not the most effective way to study. I usually spend my holidays making notes about any upcoming topics to familiarise myself with the content and hopefully solidify my understanding in class and at tutoring
The subjects I'm currently taking are:
- Mathematics
- Extension Math
- Advanced English
- Modern History
- Physics
- Studies of Religion 1
- Society & Culture (though once Extension History is confirmed, I will be dropping SAC)
I love maths and physics (but they never reciprocate my feelings RIP) and modern. Although I had to take SOR because I go to a catholic school, I don't mind the subject since it's kinda like modern and balances out my math-based subjects and my content-based subjects.
Well this post is longer than anticipated. Since today is my last day of holidays, I'm not sure how often I will post. I'm hoping that I can interact more with everyone in the ATAR Notes community (from the small number of replies to my posts, you guys seem like a nice, welcoming community
Anyways, I'll see you then :-)
