my year 12 vce journal!! (hope you enjoy the ride)

FH ⭐️

rant incoming: i am so pissed off rn. my last day of school is october 18, and that is ALSO the day of my external assessment for EI, which is a convenient 50 minute drive (or 1.5h~ ptv). it is also in the afternoon, meaning i will be missing out of jacket/t-shirt signing at school, and all the farewell stuff.

if things couldn’t get worse, well they did. i also have graduation/ awards ceremony that night. apparently i need to be there by 4pm, which means with my external assessment at 1:15pm i will have very minimal time to get ready for grad and make it to the reception. WHY DOES VCAA HATE ME SO FREAKING MUCH UGH

edit: i found it quite weird how its at a hotel-

It’s been a while; I may have slightly dropped out halfway through the year to study for a non-ATAR university course -v-

By EI, do you mean Extended Investigation? What’s the deal with your EI assignment being on that day? From what I’m hearing, it sounds like a poorly scheduled last-minute rush by whoever the planner or teacher is.

FH ⭐️

monolith im glad you are doing what you desire!! it is always good to remember vce isn’t for everyone.

yes, EI is extended investigation. VCAA chooses the date, and i have no control over that. i was supposed to find out a month ago, but my dad will be taking a day off work to chauffeur me around so hope timing works out!!

FH ⭐️

haven’t updated this in a longgg time. i have no school today, but my parent teacher interviews (last one ever) at 4:30pm so yeahhh that’s that.

i have officially finished all the coursework and sacs for vce, and have been well into revision. i’m enjoying it thus far— i find it fun reviewing content and re-learning stuff, but am not to interested in the practice exam side of things…

EI is so fucked up. like, i mean, BAD. basically for a bit of background context, yesterday during class we were talking about our oral presentation times and one of the other students private messaged me telling me that hers is right after mine, and we just started talking. she then mentioned how she knew another student in class, and if we wanted to make a gc and i said sure, so we gathered a few more classmates and we have been talking. turns out our teachers set a faux deadline AND openly admitted to it, and one of the in-school supervisors for another student reported this to vcaa. i’m so mad because i had 3 sacs i put off studying for that week to finish my report + had a bad stress response because of the workload, just to find out the deadline was fake? and one of the teachers wrote in an email “we set fake deadlines in this class so you have enough time to edit your work.” UHM excuse me but they don’t provide us much feedback and then we are basically left to submit a draft because nothing was changed. super frustrating, and i need to complain to my in-school supervisor because it’s really unprofessional.

anywho, i graduate in a month, and exams are in 6 weeks. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!

FH ⭐️

oops 20 days since the last update… if it weren’t for rey posting on their journal i would’ve continued that streak lmao. im in study right now, and have been here since 8:10am, so i’m locking out for the time being.

FH ⭐️ i find it fun reviewing content and re-learning stuff

when i said this, i must have been on an adrenaline high with finishing content, because what the actual fuck. it’s so much to remember and the english exam literally is in 3 WEEKS!?!? that is absurd, and there will be so much to do after high school (finding a job because… money). it’s such a hectic period in my life, and it’s giving me something to do. i’m also prioritising me taking breaks, which is VERY important and doesn’t matter what year level you are in. my brother is having a 21st birthday party on saturday and im decorating which is funnnn!! gotta learn to make a balloon arch eek.

we did practice exams last week for my subjects, and they went alright. they were all company exams and there when you have been pumping out exams for the last month, it’s very obvious what companies they got them from. the general math ones were heffernan 2024 exams which i had the answers to, but im a very honest person and didnt cheat because im only cheating myself. did get 88% on exam 1, and getting exam 2 back in the next period. i just need to start writing a bit faster, and actually begin revising for english because that practice exam taught me i can no longer bullshit… sigh.

have met a few new people amidst me dropping my old friends because i put me first for the first time in forever. i knew these people, but i didnt know they also knew each other, so basically all we yap about is love and deep space (a very addictive game) and it’s such a good vibe… literally spent my lunch break with them yesterday which says a LOT about how comfortable i am with them because im usually anxious around new groups of people.

other than that, nothing really much has happened. im on like 95 hours of driving so hopefully when i turn 18 next month i am on my P plates. graduation is literally NEXT FRIDAY, and they changed my EI oral time by pushing it back half an hour, so i guess im doing my presentation in my suit lmaoo. also decided to not go formal, rather need to plan an outing with someone, because my anxiety will not be happy in that formal environment for 5 hours.

anywho hope everyone is well, and PLEASE PUT URSELF FIRST… it is VERY important and the benefits are even better!! always here if anyone needs to vent because of stress/ anything else… i think you can private message on atarnotes now so i’m always glad to listen 🙂

Rey_of_sunshine

FH ⭐️ Yeah you can privately message now and goodluck for your EI oral! You're gonna smash it and look awesome while doing so. I'm glad you've found good people you're comfortable with and are doing stuff for your mental. Also you are def beating me on prac exams, I've barely done any, thats amazing that you can literally recognise the companys from the writing (though probably a bit exhausting I'm geussing)
Glad to act as a reminder for the journal diary's, don't know how consistently I will update going forward but I'll try to pop on a little more regularly again.

FH ⭐️

Rey_of_sunshine thanksss, i have my EI practice tonight and somehow my speech is 12 minutes (only max 10 before they do 8-10 minutes of Q&A).

i did an unhealthy amount of exams on the holidays, part because they were homework part because im so scared of flopping on the exams. i guess identifying the exam based off writing is my hidden talent that has absolutely no use lmfaooo. currently sitting an aced trial exam untimed as i only do vcaa exams timed. cannot emphasise how excited i am to just relax in 29 days WOOOOO

Rey_of_sunshine

FH ⭐️ I do all exams timed and under exam conditions because otherwise I tend to go: wait I don't have to do this, and then I don't.
Also ctrl_alt and soupsthetic are reading over my shoulder and say hi (soupsthetic is saying its hi with love and that I didn't give sufficient personality and they want heart emojis and fire emojis to be implied(<33))

FH ⭐️

Rey_of_sunshine HAHAHAH HEYYY (i still dont see fire emojis /j).

i’m the opposite though because i cannot sit 2 and a half hours without getting distracted on something completely irrelevant.

also fun fact do NOT leave headphones in for 6 hours since you wake up my ears havent stopped ringing for like 10 minutes 😭

Rey_of_sunshine

FH ⭐️ oof that sounds awful and I work well under the exam environment, any noise and I start losing my mind for exam questions so like I have not studied well at home
🔥 hope this is sufficient lol

FH ⭐️

Rey_of_sunshine thank you for the fire.

i just did my ei practice oral presentation and it went relatively well, despite anxiety getting a hold of me prior to presenting BUT I COOKED AND THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS

Rey_of_sunshine

FH ⭐️ congratulations!!

FH ⭐️

well, that was a very unproductive week. i have grad and my ei oral on friday, but i need to seriously lock in.

anyway, got drunk last night at a party and i regret it because i was so out of it last night and i’ve had a pounding headache all day today. lesson for the younglings: do NOT down 5 shots in 10 minutes on a somewhat empty stomach… it does NOT end well.

HAPPY LAST WEEK TO ALL THE YEAR 12’s WE ARE ALMOST THERE!!!

i_need_mental_asylum

FH ⭐️ is drinking fun

FH ⭐️

i_need_mental_asylum it's just like drinking normal, but with consequences. i went too much too fast and that doesn't end well because you should always space ur alcohol consumption out and have water in between, as well as have food to absorb the drink so there's less of an effect.

i_need_mental_asylum

FH ⭐️ is it good tho

FH ⭐️

i_need_mental_asylum it’s… idk i feel like it would be up to personal preference. if i didnt like it though i wouldn’t have downed that many shots LMAAOOO

edit: also wanted to note do not drink underage unless you have parental permission, which i did because im not 18 yet + don’t drink and drive even on a full license because it is very unsafe.

MMHS

but FH ⭐️ good to know you are aware of the consequence because many are oblivious

MMHS

i dont think i will ever drink, maybe like a 3 times a year later on but i don't see the point

FH ⭐️

MMHS it’s truly not worth the whole hype let’s be real. it’s ok to drink, but you also need to remember it isn’t the best on our bodies if consumed in large amounts frequently.

also, yes it is important to understand the consequences of drinking because when you get behind the wheel, it isn’t a joke. lives become at risk, even when you’re sober. and NOT getting behind the wheel under the influence is so easy, but yes alcohol does make it harder to make rational thoughts.

i’m not saying don’t drink, but especially because you’re underage, just hold off. you will be surprised how fast 3 years will creep up.

Sejal

MMHS same here but I couldn’t even if I wanted (which I don’t lol)

Rey_of_sunshine

FH ⭐️ yeah, drinking its like cool in theory but majority of it doesnt even taste good anyways (I did find chocolate liquers tho so its just liqeur encased in a little chocolate bottle and theyre so cute). But definitely no driving while under the influence, or when sleep deprived because as we all know, 17 hours of sleep deprivation is equal to a BAC of 0.05!! (psych revision...yay)
