November 8th 2020Not me writing this entry instead of studying for english oop. Anyways, 2 days!! I can almost taste freedom, the sweet relief from the shackles of english that has taken me prisoner for 6 years now.
The thought of never having to write a bloody text response/comparative/argument analysis essay under timed conditions just excites me.
Anyways, time marches on mercilessly. It does not care whether or not I have dreaded exams soon. I feel prepared but unprepared. Definitely not as prepared as I would have liked. I felt like this week went by with a blink of an eye… anyone else felt this? Probably just me. Anyways on to my subjects.
EnglishSurprise surprise, my worst one is comparative and I don’t think I can improve with the time that I have so I’ll just accept it and move on. I’m sick of writing essays however, which is why I am going to spend tomorrow just revising and going more in depth with my texts. That being said how I feel going into Tuesday is how I could feel if i walked into a geography exam, completely unprepared and clueless. But I’ll fake it and trick myself into thinking I’m ready.
Maths Gonna squeeze both methods and spec here because I’m performing relatively similar in both.
My methods silly errors are absolutely unforgivable and with two weeks to exam there is no hope for me to remove them. Absolutely none. My teacher laments over how I can full marks in tech free exams if I eliminate them, but instead I accumulate so many deductions. Wow. Every method I’ve tried to reduce them are futile, my mind skips over TINY details that become my downfall. I never pick up on them no matter how many times I go over my paper it’s so bad.
Medea’s downfall may be her hubris, mine is silly maths errors.
On the other hand, my silly errors in specialist is more forgivable. It’s that subject where you can technically lose a fair few marks and still do alright. Hoping to scrape by a 30 but that sounds a little too optimistic.
BiologyWhy does experimental design have to exist?? My narrow mind cannot comprehend what needs to be improved upon or what needs to be controlled…
Just need to work on tightening my understanding and revising my weaknesses. I’m making stupid little errors that just infuriates me.
PsychologyI am very afraid for the extended response
My teacher who has been a VCAA examiner for 20 something years tells us to write like there’s no tomorrow. I write 3 pages for the extended response and he wants me to write another two. ANOTHER TWO? This is longer than my english essays.
He likes to scare us that quantity is as important as quality so I’m trying to broaden my knowledge so I can write endlessly for this question. I also need to focus on mental health because I have forgotten everything
How unfortunate that my sciences are all next week then followed by maths. Oh well, the countdown to freedom begins. 12 days to go
