feeling good :D :D :D
literally cannot stop watching the first minute or so of B99 S5E17, cracks me up every time
Also can I just say I'm pretty damn happy today, those lectures were ace (shoutout to Jamon and Emily), looking forward to more tomorrow :) hyped

So this week was pretty mundane (apart from getting torn apart here)
I raked in some cash working, and it was fun seeing some work friends I havent really seen in a while because they usually take different shifts during the term, but other than that I just screwed around instead of studying which I really should be doing, since exams are in 2.5 weeks  :-[ :-[
I also havent been sleeping too well, its getting harder to sleep for some reason and i don't know why :o but its back to school on monday and its under the bus straight away with year 12, so this'll be a great year ahead

Hope everyone's had a great week!

OK so it's the end of week 1 of Year 12  :-\ and a lot of bad stuff happened this week
1. Most of my results from prelim came back and I'm not happy. Skydived from the half-yearly, and I'm really disappointed mainly because I didnt try as hard as I probably shouldve or couldve. Hope this doesnt happen any time during the coming year, because my ranks are garbage
2. I got  D R E N C H E D  yesterday now my jumper and my bag smell like rain ewwwww
3. I'm getting constantly reminded I have 10 days until modern or however many it is on the current day and it's pissing me off, im losing motivation
4. I did not do any physical activity over the holidays so when I trained this week I got so sore someone send help  :'(

On a more positive note, got new books for Physics and Chemistry and they look great, amazing, however you want to call it, but it's really good, really excited for both those subjects despite screwing up pretty hard in prelim. The content looks amazing and hopefully they aren't error ridden like the ones we had in prelim.

Hope everyone had a great week! :)

End of yet another week! Time is going really quickly and a lot happened this week and had mood spikes everywhere
So on Monday I injured my quad and on Wednesday I reignited a niggle in my calf. Hopefully they both clear up for tomorrow so I can play tennis.
Tuesday was totally uneventful, but on Thursday I had 2U HSC. Largely that went okay despite the fact that I was being stupid, hopefully bag a Band 6 that won't even count to my ATAR. Still disappointed though
Today was kinda sad as well. Had my last ever Modern lesson. Right now Modern kinda makes me sad and want to die, but I think after the exam it'll be really worthwhile. Had loads of great moments doing the subject, and I have to concede it was sorta fun despite the struggle. Doing the HSC for Modern on Monday, and I have no clue what I'm going to do about that. However, the light at the end of the tunnel is that our whole class is getting shouted pizza Thursday Period 2, so uh  ;D ;D ;D
And Chem is really getting into the good stuff. We burnt a ton of stuff today, but the best parts of today was looking at reversible reactions. We burnt some hydrated cobalt chloride, rehydrated it, and burnt again and the colours were so damn cool. Also burnt steel wool with a 9V battery and I would post videos but it likely won't fit.
Also getting reports next week  :-[ :-[, not gonna end well (especially because of my rank 82 in english)

Hope everyone had a great week, good luck to everyone on exams! :D

Okay apart from nearly falling asleep at work yesterday and watching literally 80% of people seenzone me when I was doing a volunteering collection today in 35 degree heat, this week was pretty solid

Saturday I played tennis, and the team that showed up were two grades above my team because they got the wrong game time. So obviously we got destroyed but our team two grades up destroyed their team because the team that was supposed to play us showed up to that game. Weirdest weekend of tennis I've ever had.
Monday feels so long ago now. I did the Modern exam but like I feel like I did it last year, its so weird. Anyway I probably screwed up an MC, and I did go on autopilot for a lot of the exam because I got a headache halfway through, but hopefully everything goes okay (I'm still sure I answered the questions). Mostly I'm glad that it's over and that I actually like history again, and just the relief makes me feel like accelerating was worth it.
Tuesday and Wednesday were relatively uneventful except for the fact that I got my Prelim report on Wednesday. I jumped down the overall ranks a bit (as expected) but I'm a little disappointed in myself that I didn't even make the top 20%. To be fair I didn't put an equal amount of effort this semester in my other subjects mainly because of the HSC for maths and modern and to that end I sort of deserve it, but honestly still disappointed. And then I get my estimated ATAR which is below 99 and I get told 'you wouldve definitely gotten 99+ if modern wasn't there to drag you down'. So hopefully big things next year, and I put in a hell of a lot more effort in than this semester.
Thursday was great and terrible. The first half of the day was great - pizza party for modern and watching Forrest Gump. It was all great until I got to work and then I got super fatigued and nearly fell asleep.
And then today I did a collection. Best part of the day was seeing this guy chuck a 50 dollar note into my friends collection tin, but it was so demoralising saying 'hello' and 'good morning' and 'would you like to donate' and just getting the smiling seenzone, the 'i'm on the phone' trick, or just a regular seenzone. we didnt have anything to give away so it was just donations, and on other collection mornings when we have merch to sell I could get the 5 times the amount of money in the same timeframe. knowing this just sorta pissed me off because a lot of people I feel wouldve donated if we had stuff to sell ie. that you need to get something, anything back when donating money like that's so stupid, you should donate because you want to not because you want a stuffed animal or a brooch  >:(

That's all from this week, hope everyone had a great week! :D
