Title: Summer Study Journal
Post by: J_Rho on January 03, 2020, 09:52:17 am
I've seen so many of these and man it's awesome to see so many people kicking goals!
I have set homework from my teachers which will be in orange and the study I want to do to get ahead will be in black
I've literally been chilling these last 4 weeks doing pretty much next to nothing other than working and I literally wake up everyday and go 'I need to get this done' and I don't get it done.
Be warned that the way I've set it out is that I'm ticking shit off one Edrolo video at a time...so be warned that the lists for Psych, HHD and Legal are VERY long
So hopefully making the things I wanna get done public will make me make myself more accountable

Yes, Great way to make yourself accountable J_Rho!

Were also studying the same texts this year too!
Text Response: The Lieutenant
Comparative: Ransom and The Queen

The only difference is for the creative piece I'm reading 'Like a house on fire'

Also so much to do in legal 🥵that's insane. Is that all of unit 3?

omg YESSS we can be buddies - it sucks its the first year ransom/the queen are paired because i cant ask my older friends about the text haha
Yeah ive made it a goal of mine to make notes for all of unit 3 so that i have a foundation understanding of it all when i go to class I've got a lot to fo but I think I'll get it all done.

Yes !! I知 rooting for you! I can totally relate to the struggle of finding the motivation to work during the holidays. I壇 recommend balancing study with time for rest because when you get back to school you値l want to feel well rested and rejuvenated.

Good luck and please continue to update us with how it all goes! :)

Alright, so today was a flop homework wise but nevertheless well spent.
I spent today assisting the CFA with the emergency relief donations point where we had people arriving with trolly full after trolly full of donations after working at that between 8am and 2pm, after that we had a callout for a tree down that had taken out powerlines which i went to.
Although all I've gotten done is read 3/4 of The Lieutenant I feel like had a productive day. I
I may be potentially being deployed to Mallacoota at some point over the next few days or weeks which will be interesting if that happens

Here is my plan for tomorrow:
6 am - 8 am: Legal Studies Homework
8 am - 3pm: Emergency relief donations
3 pm - 4 pm: English Homework
4pm - 6pm: Rest ❤️
6 pm - 7 pm: Maths homework (if i feel like it)
7pm - 9pm: Chill
9pm - 10pm: Read English text again

Yesterday I spent my day from 8 - 5pm with the CFA sorting donations, packing boxes and trucks. By the time I left the SES unit after discussing deployments with a few other people, it was almost 6pm and after getting home I was knackered and I fell into bed pretty quick.
Today after cleaning up the house a bit I got through
Legal Studies Edrolo: Unit 3 AOS 1 Theory Lessons 1 - 3 Videos
and I finally finished reading The Lieutenant which was a relatively good book considering its a VCE text.
I'm going to try and make tomorrow a much more productive day in terms of goals. I haven't properly exercised or drunk enough water this past week which are some of my goals for this year cause my exercise is so haphazard like i need to follow a routine that actually allows me to focus on all parts of my body not just what im most comfortable with. While this is a study journal for tomorrow I'm going to have my other goals in a little spoiler so I can really hold myself accountable.

Tomorrow:
- English: annotate The Lieutenant
- Maths: Exercise 2A
- Psych: Finish chapter 2 videos
Exercise
Warm up: 5 min cardio & 100 jump rope skips
Work Out
- Dumbbell Squat 4 * 15
- Overhead dumbbell press 4 * 10
- Bicycle crunch 4 * 100
- Jump rope 4 * 100
- Treadmill run push yourself as hard as possible 2 minutes
- Pushups to failure
- HIIT Cardio 30 minutes (Every 2 min sprint for 30 seconds and jog for 1.5 minutes btwn sprints)
Stretch: Wide toe stretch, Quad stretch, Arm cross shoulder stretch, overhead triceps stretch, chest cross arem swing, childs pose, spinal lumbar twist
Yoga: Warrior Flow, Half seated twist, triangle, half moon, cobra, pigeon, seated forward fold
Other Goals
- Meditate 15 minutes
- Drink 2.5L water

I think it's really cool that you are involved with the SES! I'm sure your efforts helped a lot of people.

And BTW that's a solid workout routine! Good on ya for keeping exercise a regular habit, even during VCE! Fingers crossed for a productive day!  :)

Hope Edrolo has lived up to its hype this year. Our school's orders have yet to be received.
