26/8
totally forgot how hard it is to write a creative, since i tried to do it so many times without success, and out of stress, i ended up not preparing one before trials (never ever do that, a very dumb decision). i've spent a whole day trying to write it, with a very detailed plan of what i'm going to write about but i'm unable to bring myself to actually write the story and i feel like i keep writing about the events as they happened, so i'm telling the story, not showing the story. i'm far from a good writer, and can't drag out the events as in a journal entry, because it happens over a short period of time and i just ughhhhhhhhhhhh
i also procrastinate by doing other work while i'm doing something and that really needs to stop because i spent half the day trying to write a creative, and the other half finding new related texts which not going to lie is kind of enjoyable because as an avid reader (at least not at the moment), it's fun to explore different texts and i don't read a lot of poetry so that was pretty cool :-) not going to give english the satisfaction of being written about a lot so i'm going to move on hahahaha
i've planned out a lot of my week as to what i'm going to hand in to teachers, but i can't write two essays in a night? it's really weird like i just can't do it, when i can write 3 essays in 2 hours for english. i don't know what's going on with me, but i hope everything will figure itself out :-)
next week, i'm going to the unsw open day! i went last year when i was a bit clueless about what i wanted to do after school, but now i have more of a solid idea, i'm even more excited. maybe i'll see some of you there. i would really love to go to unsw and do a double degree, so international studies and media (pr/advertising), but the atar cut off is waaaay too high for me because i haven't been doing well at school, and i'd be lucky to get a band 6 in one subject (fingers crossed i can get 90ish for my better subjects in the hsc!)
i hope you all had an amazing day.
love,
