And Year 10 is officially finished! WOOOOOOOO!!
I had my last three exams today:ForensicsThe exam was relatively straightforward. There were 25 multiple choice questions and 75 marks worth of short answer questions. I found that most of them were fairly straightforward (and there was plenty of room to make up some bull if you forgot anything). I didn't study that hard for this one, but I still feel confident about how I went.
BiologyWHYYYYYY so many obscure questions involving applying random bits of knowledge that we never really covered properly in class? There were just three questions that weren't super relevant to anything we'd done, but most of the rest was fairly straightforward.
MathsIt's like they took the exam that was previously half of an exam that went for an hour and a half, and gave us 75 minutes to do it. Everyone in the room was done in 45 minutes... But it was fairly easy, especially with notes. The only big thing was that I realised after that for one question I used rounded decimals instead of fractions. (A stupid STUPID mistake, but whateves, I'm done now.)
I am very much looking forward to my two days off before early commencement starts!
Year 10 ReflectionsIt's still weird to think that all my year 10 classes are done, and that we're not going back to them. There are heaps of teachers who we never really said a proper goodbye to because we were all way too stressed with exam stuff. I'll have to try and find them all next week.
I was feeling pretty burntout last term, but I certainly have a lot more energy now and I'm actually really enjoying certain bits of school (like making my notes super aesthetic). I think that I went way too hard in Semester 1, taking on every opportunity and constantly pushing myself to go above and beyond in each class. I certainly calmed down a lot this semester and term, and I've been less exhausted. I think I really need to remember to work consistently next year, and not use all my energy in the first term.
The other thing that I'm trying really hard to change is the way that I doubt myself. Before every
maths test, I spend the evening leading up to it stressed out of my mind. When I try studying, I get super duper frustrated and whenever anyone tries to help me I'm just really grumpy and negative. I'm going to make a big effort to get less wound up about assessments because I always end up doing just fine. (and I'm no fun for anyone else when I'm like that)
I think that Year 10 has been a really good time to try new things. I went into this year with such a set idea of what I was going to do for VCE and my career, but through all of the awesome stuff I've done outside of school, I've definitely had a change of heart. I'm glad that I changed my mind and I think that I'm genuinely really going to enjoy what I've chosen (with the exception of spesh, but I'm staying positive
)
This is just the start of my VCE journey and I am very keen to see what happens next.
