OMFG guys. I hate to be the pessimist again, but my god that economics question was an absolute disaster. I swear I've had the worst luck with these assessments - first the horrendous mystery soliloquy for English, now this curveball question for economics. I had hoped that it would be inflation AND unemployment, so I prepared for both, but had hoped that if it was JUST one, that it would be unemployment. BUT NO. I turn over the exam paper today, and NOT ONLY is it a two part question on high inflation on the economy, but it asks you to "discuss the measures of inflation"!! LIKE WHAT THE FUCK. How is that even a legitimate essay question?? It was actually infuriating because I told myself there was a very slim chance that that would be it, and I even told my friend who asked me about it, that, literally the night before. Thus I didn't study it, because it seemed to be something that's more appropriate for short answers or something. Obviously, I'm not completely clueless about it - like I know basic stuff - but I probably wrote 3 sentences max about the inflation measures. I tried to integrate it into my response, but I kept forgetting about it because I kept telling myself I'd address it in another paragraph at the end. Of course, I had no time, so I had to conclude my essay that basically neglected half the fucking question. Furthermore, my structure was legitimately ALL over the place. It was for sure the worst essay I'd ever written in my life. My topic sentences would start with a solid idea, then the ending of the paragraph would be on something completely different to the start. So, now I'm 99% sure I failed that assessment and it's eating me alive. (not failed in the literal sense obviously, but <70 probably) I'm really hoping my analysis on the second half of the question will counteract this shortcoming, but there is only so many marks that I can get when I've completely neglected half of the question. I knew this was bound to happen because I knew I wouldn't fly through the HSC without bombing an assessment, but it just feels so horrible. I'm so disappointed in myself and words cannot express how upset I am. My rank is 100% going to drop now, and I feel like I've just failed my entire HSC. UGH. Worst yet, my friends keep invalidating my sentiments about this exam "Oh you'll probably get 90%" LIKE UMM NO, it's pretty unequivocal at this point that 90% is elusively out of reach for me given the circumstances. It just makes me feel more disappointed in myself, honestly.
Speaking of, we're getting our Legal results back on Friday. I'm really hoping the outcome is good, because I really need it right now.
