I
still haven't got my Outdoor Ed results back
I had my English Media analysis SAC on Wednesday afternoon which went absolutely terribly
The piece we got to analyse was way longer than all the ones we were given as practices and we got a piece with an image embedded and 2 comments which is fine, but all the ones we were given as practice throughout the year were a piece, a comment, and a separate picture so that was a bit annoying. I didn't analyse the picture much and all my analyses was pretty bad. I wasn't expecting to do well, but I think I did really badly. It was hard to actually identify what the arguments were for the first piece and my teacher really emphasised that we had to do that well. It was also after school (2-4:15) when we normally finish at 1:30 on Wednesdays and it was all the classes in together where we normally hold exams which was kind of annoying.
I've had a cold all week, so with the SAC finally over I didn't go to school on Thursday. On Friday I was supposed to have Private study, Outdoor Ed, SSDP, Fish, and then finish early, like we do on Wednesdays. I was halfway to school (which is an arduous journey consisting of a tram and 3 busses) when we got the daily bulletin emailed out...and my fish teacher wasn't at school because he was sick (I don't know if I gave it to him or he gave it to me, I'll blame him anyway
) I almost went home then but I didn't feel too shitty so I went to school. It was a mistake. I was going to do my maths practice SAC first period, but my brain was so darn fuzzy that I just kept rereading the first line so I gave up on that. 2nd period we didn't do much and then I left after that that and didn't stay for SSDP or fish. I still haven't actually started my project that I'm supposed to do for SSDP, and my teacher said that he was going to base our next WASHI (our version of GPA) on how well we'd worked on our project so RIP lol.
I actually felt a bit better on Saturday (although it was probably just a result of having 2 types of colds medicine and neurofen...). I went to the VCE and careers expo with my friend. I met Nick (again) and avoided talking to people and went to seminars which were a bit boring. Especially because 2 of the english ones were at least half the same stuff, I almost walked out of the second one. My friend is in year 10 and he hasn't decided what uni he wants to go to and whilst I was in seminars he had managed to talk to just about every uni there. Seriously. He had a massive pile of course booklets because he doesn't know how to say no and keep walking. I got another stress ball from Access education (I'm sure I still have the one I got 2 years ago lying around somewhere) but I somehow missed seeing Douchy
. It was very entertaining seeing all of the people posting selfies with him on facebook though. I left a bit early and met up with another friend in the city. We grabbed food and watched this guy trying to flip over audience people which was okay but they weren't
that good (way better than me though lol).
Today I was supposed to work 1-8 but I had to call in sick because this stupid cold used to be making my head blocked up but it's moved and I've been coughing all day instead. And I work with food. I haven't actually worked all week now though because I was supposed to work Wednesday night but I couldn't because of the SAC and my boss asked me to work Thursday night, but I hadn't even gone to school so like no. I get paid more on Sundays too and I'm casual so no sick pay
I've spent the day sleeping, coughing and catching up on new episodes of designated survivor on netflix which was a very....productive use of my time. I still haven't done my practice SAC for math and the first lesson for it is tomorrow, then tuesday, then thursday, then next monday. It's a 4 part sac on the first 4 chapters of our textbook, but it's not separated into chapters. Also I really hate my reference book and I'll probably end up redoing it at some point because it's too long but I need to memorise the unimportant stuff first. It's period 4 tomorrow which is annoying because I can't just go home early and I really don't want to go but if I don't then i have to go get a medical certificate
I'm so behind on work because I haven't done much whilst I've been sick, but I really enjoyed doing absolutely nothing on Thursday (and today).
