Year 12 Class of 2013 Discussion Thread

Maybe try and read through the chapters in textbook, in advance so that you are ahead of your class.
Even though you may not understand absolutely everything, you'll get a general idea of what you need to know.
And considering that it's your first chem sac, i presume it will cover a relatively easier topic such as Gravimetric - which is easy to pick up, or something that you've learnt in Year 11 (volumetric) 

[Mr Keshy]

Reading ahead always helps
Also, Thush's chem guide does make it heaps heaps easier to understand so read that if you have it as well!
I'm trying to keep up at least 2 classes in front of what ever we're learning in the subjects I do find easier, like further for example.

btw, only managed 16.5 out of 20 for that Business SAC I might be able to scrap 0.5 marks to get that A but I'm rather doubtful. I did fair better than a lot of other students so I guess I'd better appreciate that and on top of it, I did beat my brother which probably made me escape embarrassment at home (#makinglightofanysituation)

Which reminds me, I haven't told my parents yet Hehe

Well Machan did English in yr11 too, so I'm guessing it's a similar scheme here too?

Very proud.
I've two things I want you to remember like they were gospel.
1) you're doing what's right and may not be easy, so regardless of how uneasy you feel, remember the first four words.
2) something that has served me well consistently through the later years of my life: your perception of you and the way others perceive you are two different things. Recognise the intertwined nature of expectation and perception. They know you are there because your speech was good. Therefore, they expect a good speech. Perhaps this fact alone would make you nervous re: failin someone's expectations, however, because of this expectation people will perceive your speech as excellent regardless. It is human nature not to change your beliefs. Racists will see something bad in anything a black man does. Homophobes will see something bad in every gay man or woman, regardless of the good. Similarly, before you even begin your speech, they think that it is excellent. Know that: there is nothing to fear but fear itself. You have got this. It's yours. You own it, and they will believe what you show them. I know for a fact that wherever I go, no matter how nervous I feel, people are perceiving me as socially confident. Just recognise that people are perceiving you as excellent regardless of any slip ups, fumbles, forgotten lines etc, and things might seem a bit better. 100% confidence in you, your speech is excellent. You will dominate so long as you allow yourself to.
