Update #2: 08/04/2018The holidays are halfway over already so I've decided to update in order to convince myself to be more productive for next week, by making myself face the horrible truth of how little I've actually achieved since the holidays started.
So let us continue on a rather sombre note~
Let's first look at what I've (miraculously) achieved.
Methods: Got all my holiday homework done, and then like a bug flying headfirst into a lightbulb I also decided to willingly attempt a notoriously difficult specialist maths worksheet our teacher accidentally gave us, and just like that bug, I got absolutely roasted.
Chemistry: I have Edrolo playing whenever I step into the shower (with a waterproof case of course) which was weird at first because Katherine Roan just stares at you the whole time... while I'm in the shower. But now I'm just used to it
it's a good way to save time.
Literature: I watched the movie Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. That's it. For an entire week, all I did was watch a 2 hour movie. I also attempted a practice essay but it was really short.
History: The holiday homework is making me lose my sanity (or what's left of it anyway). I like reading, but when the book was written more than 2500 thousand years ago, by a guy who is allergic to full stops, who ended the book mid-sentence, it makes me wonder why I'm doing a subject that requires more reading than literature, global politics, and chinese added together.
Global Politics: I've been watching the news every night and also diligently scrolls through memes of Fat Kim the Third (what China calls Kim Jong Un. I'm not kidding). In other words, I've
totally gotten a lot done.
Oh AND of course I went to some ATAR Notes lectures - methods on Saturday, lit and chem today. Personally found methods and lit very helpful (seriously, I learnt more from Lauren in 3 hours than I did from my lit teacher for 3 terms. Thanks for giving me PRACTICAL advice rather than just 'oh just do what you feel like is right'). I found the chemistry lecture useful as well, though my energy level wasn't as great as it was in the morning and the pace was a bit quick for me
My sister found the chem lecture helpful though, and she thought the pace was good. So I guess I just have to keep working on doing problems faster.
Honestly, whenever I see a problem in chem I have to physically stare at it for 20 seconds (or more) before I start.

By the way I've attached the practice essay I wrote for lit, it's not that good and it's below the word limit, but I would really appreciate it if someone takes a look and give me some feedback? Be as harsh and critical as you want!
