HSC (Holky's School Conclusion)
holky:
Time for an update!
On Friday, I got my Extension exam marks - 21/25 for the creative and 25/25 for the essay.
I am super super happy with that. I also got the marks back for one section of my Modern exam - I got 8/10 for part a and 14/15 for part b of the personality question. Pretty happy with that, but I really want to see the exam so I can see where I lost the mark and if I can possibly get an extra mark. Also, got 20/20 for the multiple choice in my CAFS exam. The exam's still being marked, but my teacher could see some of the marks that had been uploaded to SENTRAL and she told me for sure that I've lost 3 marks in the sections that have been marked so far. Disappointing that I won't get a perfect internal score, but I'm not too upset about it because I should still get a really awesome mark. Plus, I wasn't aiming for a 100 when I sat the exam, that goal developed when I found out my mark for the assessment before.
I'm now starting to freak out about drama next week. My group keeps ignoring my messages trying to organise rehearsals, and we kinda need them. I really hope we can actually organise something so we can polish our performance and get it ready. I do actually have less stress than most of my class as I'm only performing my GP and not doing a performance IP. At this point, my directors folio is pretty well near ready for submission. I just need to update my logbook and make a few adjustments to my actual folio and then I'm done. Oh, I also need to figure out what referencing, if any, I need to do and then do that, but I got pretty quick at doing that in my uni unit last year (had a uni assessment due every week, it was insane). I'm pretty stress-free about my folio, and I'm hoping that doesn't change between now and next Monday. I'm pretty confident, probably because I've pretty much been done since May, and I've just been refining it since then.
I had some medical stuff last week, all is well now, but I didn't end up going to WSU open day bc I needed a mental health day after the stress of the medical crap. I'm kind of bummed I didn't go, but it was the best choice for me brain and I already know I'm going to WSU anyway so it's not like I really needed to.
I'm sure I'll be updating this again really soon once I get more marks back, but for now, this has been Holky's School Conclusion. Yeet.

Thanks so much! I'm pretty happy with everything I've gotten back so far!
Got my mark back for the entire CAFS exam - 95/100 which I am spectacularly happy with! It was the highest mark, which makes my rank for the whole year first - hOORAY. Plus, because of weighting, the mark my school submits to NESA should be a 99 (if they round up and I'm hoping they do).

Again, thank you!
I'm performing my GP on Tuesday, and submitting my folio on Monday. I'm actually printing everything off as I type this! It's crazy to think it's this week! At this point, I'm just hoping the GP happens, because one of my group members is basically refusing to speak to me right now. During a rehearsal on Monday, one of our friends interrupted to talk to her, and I was kind of frustrated because hello, we perform next week! and another girl had been interrupting us heaps as well. So I said, listen, I know you're trying to be funny, but we're rehearsing so could you please not interrupt us. Now she's giving me the silent treatment, and the girl in my group is upset with me because I didn't apologise (I have now by the way). Plus we had to cancel rehearsal today because she was feeling sick (I think she just didn't want to deal with me). Oh well, all I can do is push through and be professional over the next couple of days. If she tries being antagonistic, I'm going to ignore her, at least until Wednesday. Our class is big, so our performances go over onto the Wednesday, and she's on the Wednesday, so she gets a free pass until after her HSC. Very frustrating, but what can ya do?

I did Global History at WSU and I loved it!
I got a HD, which I'm super proud of, especially since the tutor I had the first week (because my normal tutor was away) was really condescending and basically implied he didn't think I could get a distinction. So, proved him wrong!
What sucked was I had a uni assessment every week, on top of year 11 stuff, but it meant I didn't have to do an exam at the end. All up, a pretty awesome experience!
Unrelated to school, a friend of mine has his German speaking exam next Saturday, so we're gonna hang in the city afterwards. He's British, so we're gonna go to the British Lolly Shop in the city, and he's booked/ing (not sure if he's done it yet lol) us tickets to the aquarium! Fun times ahead :)
So yeah, thanks for tuning in to Holky's School Conclusion!
