Quick post before I head off to bed on the night before the exam that stops the nation... well the state... well the graduating class of 2018 and some old farts that supervise... English paper 1.
I don't feel as prepared as I feel like I should be and oddly enough, I'm not really stressed about it. I feel like that would've been me in 2, 3, 4 weeks time if that was the beginning of HSC. I don't think I would ever feel 100% prepared for the first exam of HSC. Maybe since that's my thought process thats why I'm not really stressing.
I have a creative writing piece memorised as well as 6 quotes from my prescribed 'Away' and 6 from my related 'The Fault in Our Stars' - movie. I hope that my knowledge on my texts will get me by.
That's all for now.
Breakdown Count: 32 ;D

SO!
I didn't post a recap on paper one for a couple of reasons
1. I had a breakdown or two
2. Studying for English paper 2
3. Posting memes and updating my story on IG @hscya.later
PAPER 1
So English paper one was really bad for me. The only section I was happy with was the creative which I thought I'd be done within half an hour but took me the whole 40 minutes it's allocated for me to do so that was a bummer.
The short answers were very unexpected and really hard to draw techniques from. This was stimulus one, Stimulus 2 was Srah Day's poem 'Antartic ship' which is nowhere to be found on the internet and the third is an excerpt from Robert someones book on how perceptions are changed at different landmarks or some stupid shot. I didn't get to read it because I ran out of time and just looked at a sentence and made it a technique. Poor form I know.
The essay question wasn't bad but I didn't do good with it is my problem. I only had two body paragraphs for my essay. Love that for me.
After that exam, I cried. twice. and as I was driving home I had to pull over because i couldn't see past my tears :'( ahahahaha what a sad life...
PAPER 2
Wasn't too bad actually, I would've liked to have written more but that's okay. I'm happy with how I did.
I started with Module C, Exploring transitions - The Story of Tom Brennan. This was my best essay. I planned it in the reading time got all my quotes down for it and I wrote 3 paragraphs instead of two. The question asked us to discuss the quote 'Transitions involve as much loss as they do gain.' in relation to prescribed and ORT. I did the 1st paragraph on P loss 2nd one on ORT gain and 3rd on P gain. So even though unbalanced hopefully the markers like my essay. Whatever I don't really care anymore.
NEXT
Module B Wilfred Owen asked 'The complexity of human relationships in the centre of Wilfred Owen's poetry. discuss this view relating to excerpt (insensibility) and ONE other poem.' in which I did Anthem for Doomed youth and agreed with the statement using I for human relationships between soldiers and ADY for human relationships between soldiers and those at home. I wrote 2 paragraphs referencing 2-3 quotes from each and about 5-6 techniques.
FINALLY
Module A Distinktivley Visual. The question was trash. 'How do distinctive images allow the composer to challenge and educate their audience?' prescribed and ORT as usual. So that question sucked because of the education part and I'm basically BS the whole thing so have fun marking that one HSC person.
After the exam, I looked at memes and did everything I had to do on the meme acc and went to the beach. I have a touch semifinal tonight so hopefully, that goes well and hopefully my stress eating hasn't affected my fitness. I'll get back to you on that one.

Well, talk about transitions and venturing into new worlds ahahaha.
So that meme account right. @hscya.later? yeah, that one... so that's mine lmao and I just revealed my face on it yesterday because I hit 2000 followers and I was so nervous! wow. I didn't expect the account to be as big as it is like honestly, I'm amazed. But I am so glad that I have a platform that allows students just like me to have a bit of a joke and a de-stress from hsc as well as a safe place to ask questions freely.
One of the things I love to do is help others and with that account and that platform, I'm able to do that. Jamon jumped on the live stream also and helped me answer some questions (legend) and it worked out really well. Everyone is so nice as well!!! My private Instagram is blowing up too and I had to take my snapchat out of my bio because people were already adding me on that. But yeah that was something new I just wanted to talk about. I'm so so overwhelmed but so so happy at the same time like wow, the hsc can bring people together and that's a great thing right? 😂
Anyways that's it for now ahahaha
