31/8
this is my 200th post!! i remember wanting to get an essay marked, and thought that 25 posts would be so hard to get, but then the teacher came back and marked my essay so i just spent time on here because it was fun, and met so many cool people in the process!!!
goooooooood day friends. i'm in a really weird but happy mood and that's kind of odd because i had mostly crap subjects today (who am i kidding, i only like two of my subjects) but anyway hi! tomorrow i have a day off so that's probably a reason for my good mood - gives me a day off, and extra time to work on my subjects!
period 1 - maths // i haven't felt this clueless about maths in ages. i don't understand the second 'part' of loan repayments and i'll look at it later with a clearer mind, but i just don't get it. we finished series today, which is such a relief because this topic was such a bore. we start probability next week, and will probably finish it just before school ends, leaving time for revision :-)
period 2 - legal // one of the funniest lessons today. although legal is just banter now, my teacher is really good with answering questions in class, and marks essays super quick so it's good to hand heaps of those in.
period 3 - english // i hate english with a passion and am so glad for it to be over by october. i spent a solid hour trying to write a thesis statement for discovery which would cover as much as possible, but i really struggled, as evidenced through the hour i spent trying to write it. every time i wrote one it sounded exactly like another person's thesis statement - that is, sample essays - and it was super frustrating. i now understand the purpose of the discovery essay which is more conceptual than text-based, so hopefully using themes from the rubric will make my essay more towards discovery than the plot.
period 4 - pc // pc = pastoral care. basically, it's roll call, and we have one period every week just for this, and it can be time for an assembly, study period or just random activities. this period was an assembly talking about graduation events (september 18!!!!! very exciting) and how they're going to happen. just a reminder for myself here to book the graduation dinner!!!!!! haven't done that oops
period 5 - business // i'm getting a lot more comfortable with asking questions and understanding content in business so yay. it's pretty much doing past papers and asking questions, so all in all a pretty chill lesson. people were turning in extended responses like woaahhhhh i haven't done that at all so i really need to get on that. although i did well in both the business report and essay in trials, i don't like being too confident (usually leads to crap marks later) so i'll have to hand a couple of them in.
hand in updates: creative - i've done nothing since tuesday, so i'll have to write a bit more to get up to 800-1000 words so it's ready to be submitted. nazi ideology essay - figured out a structure!!!!! not so much doing it thematically but separating the paragraphs into two ideologies, then putting events in those paragraphs. i'm confident this will work out, but i'll see what happens when i hand it in.
also, check out the unsw open day thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we can arrange times to meet up, and i'll be happy to go wherever you are. i'll be there around 11.30-4ish, see you there!
hope you all had a great day.
love,
