So before I go to NYSF on the 1st and with 2020 fast approaching, I thought it might be time to update a bit about myself and my goals as a lot has changed since I've started this journal.
~2020 Introduction~Hi everyone and those that are new to this journal! I'm Ashmi, but really everyone calls me Ash. Next year I'm going into year 12 as the class of 2020 (Honestly, the best number to have on your Year 12 jackets).
Fun/interesting facts about me:✰ I love anything with choc mint!
✰ You will never see me without my CAS, Pocky or an iced coffee at any point in my life.
✰ Pastel colours are my fav, but I also like the black and red combo~
✰ I have really bad grass allergies.
✰ I moved schools for
one VCE subject.
✰ I have played every Pokemon game that has existed. (I love my Dark type Pokemon)
✰ I'm addicted to collecting artbooks/character-design books from video games.
✰ I'm terrible at drawing traditionally but can somehow draw digitally.
✰ Surprisingly, I'm a cosplayer and photo-editor.
~Subjects for 2020~Next year, I'm doing Product Design and Technology (PDT), English, Physics, Chemistry and Methods!
Wait.....PDT?
Yep, PDT seems like the odd subject out of the bunch. A lot of people think I'm a maths/science-based person, but really I've always have been passionate in the arts/design subjects. (I'm just really put off doing more thanks to VCAA's terrible scaling)
~Plans after school and goals for 2020~Now this is exactly where things get complicated. I'm being pulled in multiple directions by Mathematics, Science and Design but after much debate, it is looking like the middle ground would be engineering? It is really the only thing I could do that has enough Design, Mathematics and problem solving all in one! I'm pretty interested in Electrical engineering, but I also have my eye on mechanical with aerospace and mechatronics
My dream course at the moment is Bachelor of Science at Melbourne Uni/Masters of Engineering. The ATAR I'm aiming for is anything above 96. Will I get there? I honestly don't know, probably not. Am I going to try? Absolutely!
On top of that, I would also really love to get into Top Designs for 2021 (or at least shortlisted). Just the idea of having your folio and product up on display in a museum sounds pretty cool and I would really love if I could get my costume up there one day!
In terms of subject goals, the only one that is set in stone is an aim of 50 for PDT. I sort of made a bet with a friend that if I don't get at least a 47+ for PDT, a 40+ for Chemistry and a 44+ for English, I will be thrown into an ice bath. (I'm going to hope I do well enough for this not to happen. I really dislike the cold).
Well, that's it for now! See you guys again for the next update in 2020!
