hey!!
psa: i tend to get a lil bit ranty, you have been warned
I'm Lin and this is (the disney channel) my attempt at keeping an online journal type thing to document my final year at school!!
final year of school? yep, still feels way too surreal, take me back to yr 7 pls.
I've been a frequent user of AN but I never actually made an account... well looks like I'm taking a leap of faith today and starting this journal, especially since *drum roll pls* I'm officially a Year Twelve student. (is it as dramatic as i'm making it out to be? idk, im just terrified.) Early commencement has started at my school and I have one week of laid back year 12 stuff before the pressure really hits next year.
why am i here, u ask?
The main reason I'm starting this is for motivation and also some accountability. I moved to my current high school in year 10 (yes, the scary 2020) very unwillingly and really struggled socially and academically. I moved from a selective high school to a normal school which meant all the content I learnt was a repeat and so I seriously Slacked Off in all my classes, online learning making it a whole lot easier to do so. Then year 11 rolled around and I was so ready to do well. I got off to a great start, term 1 was immaculate, term 2 was ok and then term 3 and 4 happened, along with it another lockdown. Lockdown sucked, full stop. I did the bare minimum in all my subjects, didn't actually study for anything but my 3/4 subject and was mentally wrecked. #giftedburntoutkidtingz #imalivebutimdead I did somehow pass all my subjects but I'm going to try my hardest to not do a repeat of that in year 12. With this journal, maybe I'll bully myself into being motivated and actually studying, it's what I'm hoping anyway!
subjects i do!!
I did 3/4 Biology this year and no, I will not be commenting on how I did. (jk i overshare, i did rlly well at the start of the year but my last 2 sacs sucked. the exams... i close my mind and pretend it did not happen)
In year 12, I'm doing:
English ITS SO HARD FOR ME, I HATE IT HERE, forever cursing vcaa for making it compulsory sobs but i have been working super hard on improving, got a decent grade for my last sac in yr 11 so just going to practice, practice, practice next year
Further Maths dropped out of spec and switching into this bc although yr 11 content wasnt bad, the teacher gave me literal panic attacks and i'd cry when i saw the class on my timetable... that man could not teach and then came at me for not knowing the content, make it make sense anyway i have been scarred for life, never going back
Maths Methods got the same teacher i had this year which is AAAA bc she's so good and i love her sm, i'd give her my first born child mwah. the subject itself... i liked yr 11 but i've heard too many horror stories abt yr 12 methods to not be worried
Chemistry scared asl bc its so hard but i have a good teacher and ive been revising yr 11 content loads so fingers crossed i do well!!
Physics another rlly good teacher this year, which im so happy abt bc my yr 11 teacher did not exist and was no help at all... hoping this year i can actually rely on my teacher to clear up any doubts.
goals... more like dreams oop
30+ in Biology... please... on my knees right now
25 in English, definitely not expecting anything more than that
I don't know what I even want for my other subjects because if I say something too low, I might jinx it but if my expectation are too high I'll just end up passing away when my results come out... instead I shall manifest a 50 in EVERYTHING haha
I really, really want to get into Medical Imaging at Monash but it seems pretty tough to get into so if not nursing or midwifery is also something I'm keen on. technically, im good with anything medical except medicine, the concept of med school scares me lol
me as a human being lol
I'm 16, living in Melbourne and am a total homebody. I don't really participate in school stuff like leadership, sport, etc. because I'm terribly shy and hate, hate, hate social situations with a passion. I'm a total bookworm and I love bullet journaling... unfortunately this means I spend a little too much money on books and aesthetic stationery... ha ha, YOLO. I also spend too much money on K-pop albums... yes I empty my bank account on the regular for a piece of card with my fave's face on it. nct and blackpink are my ults <3 I adore music and genuinely cannot live without it... maybe I did spend hours creating multiple playlists, each with a very specific vibe, what about it?
haha, and that is the word vomit of a start to my journal! best of luck to the class of 2022. hopefully, no online learning and good vibes only from now onwards!!
xoxo, lin going to end all my posts like this bc gossip girl
