Wow so many replies! Thank you!
I will forever be mad at VCAA for taking all the really cool organic chemistry stuff out of the study design though (you suck VCAA, I was really looking forward to learning about that stuff).
Me too whys
It was going to be great and crossing off all that from the study design broke my heart a little.
Are you me? Are we the same person? Because I really feel you on this one. Every day my hate (AND love) for English grows and manifests itself in my frustration and inability to produce a great essay within an hour. And that's IF I decide to sit down and write an essay...
Ok, seriously, I think we are fragmented pieces from the same person or something cause this is something that I can relate too spiritually🤣. (English in one word is just = No)
Yep, that's right we MUST be fragments of the same person, split and divided up among different schools
(mm THAT must be why I feel so proud when you guys ace sacs ) And yes, english in one word IS
No. I will forever be jealous of some of my friends who do both english and literature and are smashing it
This sounds exactly like me with psych. (I have thereby concluded we are the same person). I can't wait to learn a bit more about the human psyche in uni too! I miss it, and honestly helping all my friends that also do the subject gives me joy (that sounds like a really nerdy thing to say but it's true).
Haha if that's nerdy then I must be a nerd too! Thanks for reply whys, hope you have a fantastic week.
And congratulations on doing awesome in chemistry! I love chem too and its so great to see you're happy with how is going!
Honestly I feel you!! I almost forgot I had a SAC for spec until the date was announced - I believe in you though!!
Anyway, awesome to see an update Choco and cant wait for another one! Hope you have an awesome week
Thank you! Also, you are so lucky to have already done methods, sometimes I feel like juggling two maths is so hard! When's your spec SAC? I'm so nervous that I'm literally not going to know anything but thank you for the seed of confidence! Can't wait to hear how your SAC goes, I'm sure you'll do fantastic! Have an awesome week too Arty thanks for the reply
Sounds like you have had a good week! Congrats about your chem score!
How's methods and french going for you? I am in y11 doing methods 3/4 and french 1/2 and I would love some advice esp for french haha. When is/are your methods SACs? I am super scared as mine are this week and next week and are worth 22%. French is super chill at the moment but I feel like I don't put enough effort in. How much extra French study do you do a week!
Hi eloise, methods is going okay. Unfortunately, I barely have any time to spend on it at the moment after spending so much time doing spec, english and french. At the moment, I'm really just completing set exercises in class (which are super easy and take me hardly any time) rather than doing exam practice questions (I wish my school had let me take this subject early!) My SAC is not for another month though. Good luck for yours! I'm sure you'll do fantastic (I remember doing 3/4 SACs in Yr 11 and they were terrifying, so all the best!)
J'aime le français mais je le trouve très difficile. J'ai besoin d'améliorer ma grammaire, mon vocabulaire, mon écriture, mon oral, il y a trop de choses auxquelles je dois penser! D'après moi, je ne suis pas la meilleure personne pour donner des conseils, parce que mes compétences françaises sont "meh". Cependant, j'étais la même comme toi en 1ère et je crois que je n'ai pas assez travaillé (je me suis concentré sur la biologie et les autres matières que je trouvais plus facile). Je conseille que tu travailles constamment sur ta grammaire et ton vocabulaire. Est-ce que tu regardes les films français? J'aime écouter de la musique française et des podcasts. Je sais que cela peut être difficile avec tes autres matières, mais si tu veux réussir l'année prochaine, je suggère que tu as un emploi de temps (par exemple, tu apprendras le vocabulaire 30minx 3 par semaine). En ce moment, je travaille probablement 3-5 heures supplémentaires par semaine pour le français (cela n'est pas assez, mais je n'ai pas le temps de faire plus avec mes autres matières.)
Sorry for the bad french grammar (haunts me forever). Essentially my aim in french is pretty low (I'd honestly be happy with a 30 but hopefully I can hit 35) so my advice is not too great Anyway, enjoy French, it is a pretty awesome subject, and try to stay consistent with practice. Giiiiiiiiirrrl! That is a MOOD (hence my lousy but great decision to do it again)...you could come help me with the Bio TYU thread?
Your journal is everything. I honestly relate so much and yet we don't even do the same subjects, congrats on your chem mark and enjoy your quiet week before SACs.
THANK YOU J_Rho. Sure I can do this coming Monday if you want? I probably can't commit to regular days though, due to SACs and when life goes back, I'll be pretty busy
Hey hey Choco!
Oh goodie it's an update!
Congrats on the amazing score in your Chem SAC!! Give yourself a pat on the back and go CELEBRATE . I still feel like I'm in primary school...
This year has been so weird that I sometimes forget that Year 12 is actually a thing, let alone, the idea of graduating and starting something new next year.
Thanks for updating us Choco and have an amazing week!
THANKS Ash
(the legend replies, aha), I'm sure you're smashing chemistry as well, and I did celebrate with some delicious chocolate cake and an extreme amount of cream.
I know, yr 12 what even is this! Hope you have an INCREDIBLE week too ashmi
