Update - 10/09/2020 - 77 Days Till I Can Nap Without GuiltI feel like I update this way to frequently? Not sure? I guess it's just a great way to express the all the lovely feelings and thought's I have as I ride the Rollarcoster of VCE. Anyway, just to follow up on last weeks update, I have already had 2 more birds decide my car is a toilet, and I was out and about just minding my business. Honestly it's unbelievable! So i'll try keep this update a bit on the shorter side and hopefully on the positive side, even though i'm feeling like negative Nancy on steroids right now
VTAC PreferencesNow I haven't submitted them off yet as I haven't had the time to stare at my computer screen for 45 minutes, but I now have a decent idea of what I want to put down. It was helpful to go to both the monash and Melbourne open days even though they were online, and I think I have finally made some decisions. If I hate them later, I can always do a switchero.
Spoiler
1) BSci Unimelb.
2) BSci Monash
3) PharmSci Monash
4) Nutrition Science Monash.
5) BArts Uni Melb
6) BArts Monash
7) RMIT Food Nutrition and Technology.
8 ) BDesign Monash
I might change around a few after three, but I know that I really want to do food science at Melb uni, and if that doesn't happen, i'd still be happy to do a Bsci at monash
English26% through the book...... I feel like it's a word vomit all the time, and I really dislike Robyn as a character, to me she comes across as a bit of a hypocrite. For example, she goes on, and on, about how she feels bad for the camels, weather it's been trained for riding, or has a peg put through it's nose, but then she goes ahead and does it anyway! I feel bad saying that as she is a real life person instead of a character. Lets hope it improves but wow I need to push through this book.
ChemistryI'm still 2 weeks behind, which isn't a place i'm happy to be in, but I hope I get up to date by next week, and that I can finish content on the holidays. I have my last SAC the first week back on food science which is kind of scary, as I have 2 other SACs and a GAT. I'm going to be sooooo exhasted that week. The school will finish content on the second week of term 4, but once again i'm hoping to to that on the holidays!
Food StudiesI have one more week of content left!!!!!! Yay! Then I have finished unit 4 except for the last SAC which is also on the first week back in term 4. I'm actually in contact with my teacher at the moment to see if I can do it over the holidays to so that I won't be to worn out by that week. There won't be a practical portion this time round thanks to the adjusted study design, so it will only be a 100 minute test. But, I just finished my last SAC for this term, which was the food studies SAC! Thank goodness that's out of the way. I made a lentil soup which honestly had too many lentils in it. On a side note, I wasn't very happy with my answers, but I have said that before and got good marks before, so i'm sure it will be okay.
MethodsUh, i'm in a WTF mode. So I "finished" my last methods SAC of the year
yay, which I found to be easy in the maths aspect but it felt more like an english SAC, as the wording was just bizarre. "Find the span from the northern border to the widest part of the river," I had no clue from what point was the widest part of the river, and it was quite subjective, so I just went with the minimum of the function and crossed my fingers. Anyway, I got an email back from my teacher offering me a bit more time to finish two questions I didn't complete as I ran out of time...... I have never seen this happen before. On the one hand this is great, as I get more time to go back and see if I can answer them, but one the other hand I feel like this is dragged out and all I want is for it to be over.... In other news, I have 3 weeks left of content till I finish unit 4, then it's time to start crying as I run out of motivation for exams!
Congratulations! You dear readers, have made it to the end of my shenanigans! I'm currently very unproductive, out of motivation, and have a deep desire to just forget about VCE and start baking again. Honestly I have been so distracted with chocolate tempering videos! Oh and kittens. Lots and lots of kittens. Just checked out the DUNE trailer, and wow that looks awesome! I have the book on my shelves, and I think I should finally pick it up (after tracks of course
). Also, i'm now 99.96% sure i'll be taking a GAP year next year, but this update is already longer than I expected, so i'll leave that for next time. Anyway, please send some motivation and energy through the mail, and send wishes for my car's safety against the birds!!!!
