Ugh I keep forgetting to update this... been focusing too much on my website
I even got the "Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 30 days" warning lol
Still been a bit up and down I think. Disappointed but also happy with myself. I've gotten into a routine of doing two hours' work in the morning Sunday through Friday pretty consistently (except today
) which has really helped me feel less stressed. I've finally (nearly) hit the sweet spot with organisation - I've found how to organise myself naturally so I'm not planning everything to the second and burning out when I inevitably screw up.
Exams coming up soon! Kinda worried about them like everyone but a part of me's also just excited for this to be over. But at the same time I'm still scared of leaving school as it's what I've known since I was five
Also worried about losing touch with everyone I know here as we all go our separate ways.
Renovations on my new room are all done
Got a really nice and open corner office desk so it's really nice to have the space to work. Filing cabinet's also been handy with filing work and resources
In terms of school, it's been a bit up and down. Still disappointed with my EngLang results... so far my average's 73% (we've only gotten results for three out of four Unit 3 SACs so far, a short-answer, AC and an essay. Waiting on another AC)
Other subjects are going better. Japanese SL has all been in the top score range (VSL don't give exact scores)
Just found out yesterday that my overall Business Management Unit 3 result was 93/100 (19/20 + 37/40 + 37/40)
Missed three marks on the AOS3 SAC due to stupid mistakes like not reading the question properly so I'm still kinda mad at myself
Software's been good too - got 8/10 in the first four observations for our SAT (still waiting on the U3 AOS1 SAC results...). Further's honestly disappointing, we sat our Financial Core SAC the other day and it doesn't sound like I did too well on it. Teacher hasn't released the scores yet but he's hinted to me that I got a percentage or two below how I did on my Data Analysis SAC (83%)
He still seems kinda satisfied with it though which is confusing, he's not afraid to be honest about how he feels about our performance. When I got that 83% he (really nicely and encouragingly, not harshly) said that he was disappointed as he thought I'd do better. Maybe it's in comparison to the general mark? Apparently the highest anyone got in another FM class at our school was something like 53%
Three-quarters failed this SAC last year.
Things are just starting to hit me hard, like becoming an adult and finishing high school. I'm not too good with dealing with change so I'm honestly kinda afraid of leaving such a familiar environment. Exams are coming up too, which is really worrying too. But I also feel like I've gotten a more mature mindset about school from the beginning of the year when I worried about raw scores and ATARs and such a bit too much.
