A bit of a short one for today...
This term has gone pretty well so far, but I feel like its a bit of a 'calm before the storm' moments... ;D I just have a few more assessments to complete and a 4 exam coming up in week 10 and 11. I'm really hoping I will be able to smash them, because I have been/will continue to prepare for them vigorously - well, for Maths and English, at least.
Does anyone else have an 11 week term (because it seems really long, as Easter is in the middle of the term)?
In other news, I made it to 100 posts! I was going to post here for my 100th, but then forgot and accidentally made another post. :'( Oh well! ;D
On a side note,
Spoiler I wonder if there is a way to change the name of this thread? When I orgiinally named it, I was trying to think of something cool and witty,
but ended up settling on what I have now, because I couldn't think of anything else.... It low-key looks like it's supposed to be in the university journey journal board ;D.
A few weeks done, closer to the HSC, closer to finishing. Mixed feelings, for now! ;D

100 of the best! :)

Hi...
This week has been a bit of a doozy...
Just been trying to juggle exam prep and my ADF gap year application proceedings...
I kept going from feeling chill, to stressed, and back to chill again, but now I think I have settled on feeling fairly normal (go figure).
My teacher ran a practice exam for the discovery creative in English last lesson, and it actually went surprisingly well. I hadn't really done any prep yet, but I managed to remember and finish my story in the time limit - with a decent mark too ;D. This has given me a bit more confidence in English for the upcoming exam (as sometimes it feels like you can study hours of English and literally get nowhere).
For maths, I have almost finished my formula notes. I have found making them really helpful in working out which formulas I need to memorise, all in the one place. Thanks to owidjaja for the inspiration!
So glad there are only a few weeks left of school... It's not that I feel burnt out or anything, I just get into some weird hyper-crazy moods towards this end of a term haha! :D

Hi...
Half-way through my exams! Woooo!! ;D Honestly, I haven't been that stressed for them... I think I just have been in a good mind set lately and have a good routine going!
Had Maths on tuesday, which was surprisingly straighforward. I found a mistake in one of the multiple choice questions, so I got a free mark haha.
Food tech was today, and it was just as easy as well. It was only the prelim final exam, but it was good to finish another prelim subject...
Just have English Paper 1 on Friday, and Biology next Thursday (haven't started studying for haha). I feel pretty prepared for English... I did a full past paper in the Easter Break under exam conditions for the first time, and finished everything. I was pretty glad, because over the past couple of weeks, I had lost my confidence a bit in being able to write fast/neat enough.
Hoping the rest of my exams will go just as well (probs not likely for English, but one can dream ;D)... Then I have a nice holiday break to look forward to!

Love it - sounds like you're going really well. Keep it up! :D

Hi...
Exams are overrrrrrr. I mean, technically the important ones finished last friday - because the bio exam today was only prelim... Katie's exam logic: prelim = less important, so she doesn't need to stress over it.
Anyways, I have most of my marks back (except for bio)... Food Tech was pretty mint, but then again, it was only prelim (and its pretty much my bludge subject shhhhhh ;D) Maths and English were both decent but not anything spectacular. My creative writing was my downfall in English - but it was the one that I have spent the most time preparing for RIP!
Here's to a few weeks of less intense school work (and making drastic changes to my creative haha)!
