Hey Ionic Doc!
How's da journey going?
Hey Im21074, thanks for asking and uh sorry for this awfully late reply I've just been so busy with life that I've completely forgotten about this journal, but I've finally gotten around to writing something!
So I finished Unit 3 for all my subjects and honestly, it's crazy how fast this year has gone, and we all know the next half will go even faster! Overall I've tried to enjoy my final school year and not just bury my self in the books. This has been great because unlike this time last year I'm not feeling burnt out and constantly tired, maintaining healthy habits like a good sleep schedule, diet and exercise have done wonders for me this year. Toughest part this year was definitely isolation, as a somewhat introverted person, I initially enjoyed staying and learning from home, but it got to the point where I actually missed going to social events and talking to people face to face. Hopefully, we don't go into lockdown again but the recent cases and everything 😳 yea.
EnglishSo English hasn't been terrible this year. I've improved from last year for sure but still, sometimes this subject can be challenging. the toughest part of English for me is to actually sit down and write, sometimes it takes me like an hour to write just a paragraph, during an actual SAC though the adrenaline rush helps so muchh (thank u stress response ♥️).
Grades Creative - 80%
LA - 70% ( i choked in this during online learning but I'll take it)
Text Response -
Expecting above 80%+Oral Adjusted SAC -
Expecting 80%+ Comparative - Yet to do
Biology I've loved biology so much this year and the content has been really interesting. As predicted my favourite part has been studying immunity. Super fascinating and I am for sure certain that I wanna study stuff like this at uni. Unfortunately, the biggest let down in Bio for me was cellular signals, even tough I grasped the content I screwed up soo hard in the way I answered questions on the SAC, but guess I'll have to make up for it on the exam.
Grades: SAC 1 (Photosynthesis, Respiration, Enzymes): 90%
SAC 2 ( Cellular Signals): 70%
fukkSAC 3 ( Immunity): 90%
Chemistry I like chemistry but the content is sorta dry, I still need to refine the way in which I answer questions because it's dragging me down.
GradesSAC 1: 95% (Redox)
SAC 2: 60 something (Equilibrium) I understood the concepts fairly easily, did the most practice questions I've ever done and still got this, I was crushed but now I'm over it, still gonna try hard for the other sacs, content also looks more interesting in Unit 4.
Further I like further, even though it can be tedious and the marking can be a bit weird at times. Haven't had a SAC yet for further, all my sacs will take place next term (yikes).
Grades (goals)Data Analysis: 100%
Finance: 100%
Matrices: 100%
gotta aim high 🙃
MethodsI've enjoyed methods more this year, the annoying thing is that the textbook questions are very different from the application type questions that are present on SAC's. Methods is challenging for me personally but I guess i gotta keep on pushing through and constantly giving time to this subject. Haven't had any SAC's yet, I did have one practise SAC which I got 54% on with no study at all.
Grades (goals)SAC 1: 70%+
SAC 2: 70%+
Welp that's a wrap so thanks for reading, now I will be going back to watch something on Stan (netflix is trash
u can't change my mind!)
