Everyone has such exciting lives on here!! It was such a blast to read through many journals and follow people's hopes and dreams. I, however, am not an interesting fellow or have that many dreams, but I do hope that my incessant ramblings will entertain someone even to a small extent.
I'm writing this journal, because as counterproductive to studying it may be to spend time on AN (although very motivating), I feel as if I can alleviate some stress accrued from studies on this website, and posting might give me some more organisation to my life. For this last month, I'm going full throttle, and if I don't have many forms to blow that stress away, such as posting journals, then what can I do? This will also help me with English, with expressing myself. If you happen to see some virtuoso-style writing, that's what that probably is, but it is most likely that I'm just... really socially inefficient? There's already some garbage expression and I'm too in shame to even edit it out, so there it stays.
My subjects are in my sig, so there that is. In hindsight, I really regret not trying for Psychology. I crammed for SACs all year literally in the hour before, and didn't do much for the end-of-year, and if that got me 38, then what would have full-on grinding have gotten me? It's my bottom 2 subject alongside chemistry though, but it does pose some incorrigible stress on my wellbeing, now that I have to actually try for 4 subjects.Oh fun fact, Opera doesn't recognise "wellbeing" as a word. One of the suggestions is literally "bejewelling", yikes.
My strongest suite is Mathematics. All arrogance or hubris aside, I just get the subject. It's very like how people just get English. Of course I am cursed with not getting English instead, but hey, that's a fair trade off. Purely based on my practise exam scores, I am projecting a 45+ in Methods and anywhere in the 40s to 50 for Specialist, scores depending on my mood and condition on the day of exam (big factor for maths exams, to be honest).
Also, until VCE starts (Oct 30/31, don't remember), my plan is only doing English with a touch of Accounting. I really CANNOT believe that English is mandatory top 4, how cursed. However, if I don't put in work, I'll only get 35ish, but I feel as if I can push high 30s by grinding it out. A 38 for English would be BEYOND lovely for me. For Accounting, I am currently projecting 39-41 based on my practise exam scores, but this can also be improved like English.
In contrast to subjects that I have put in effort and care into, we now have Chemistry. I have completely and utterly given up on this subject. I absolutely loathe this subject with every fibre of my being, and I wish to disconnect my brain stem every time I look at Chemistry questions. Okay, but on a positive note, based on what I have learned over the year, the trial exam wasn't THAT difficult. I am hoping for at least a 50% on the end of year exam, so maybe i should learn the course? Oh yeah, I haven't even learned the course. I'm projecting literally a 28 at this rate, but if I can pull a 35 out of nowhere, it'll surely be enough to even shake the faith of any atheists.
I don't know what else to talk about in the intro, and feel like I've introduced my subjects plenty. I guess posting daily based on progress I've made is a good start, so until tomorrow, adieu?
