hii!! welcome to my journal, i thought i'd start one for fun since i've been lurking around atarnotes for a while now haha. and just to wrap my head around the fact i'm graduating two years from now which is incredibly exciting and terrifying at the same time. as it is summer break right now i'm doing my best to get ahead in my subjects (which has been going unsuccessfully atm but it's ok i'm resting that's what i've been telling myself), but so far i've finished all of my holiday homework except for a chem prac which hopefully won't take too long.

these are my subjects for next year:

3/4 physics
1/2 english language
1/2 methods
1/2 spesh
1/2 chem
1/2 computing

i'm hoping to pursue a career in secondary education, teaching physics and maths!!

i'm aiming for a 50ss in physics so if anyone has any tips please share!! this year i've done decently with an A average (84.5%) throughout the year but i'm hoping to do even better next year : )) i think my downfall will be prac reports cause i'm not the best at writing but i'm hoping to improve that over the break

i was thinking of doing umep physics or maths in yr 12, but i've heard that umep physics is incredibly challenging compared to maths, if anyone has any advice abt which one to pick please let me know it wld be much appreciated!

enjoy your holidays everyone!

** i'll do my best to update this weekly after the summer holidays haha we'll see how this goes, i'm hoping having this journal will keep me motivated next year

Good luck for physics! I think doing it with the Spesh 1/2 should give you a bit of a boost!

Chibby thank you and yess i'm super glad that some content overlaps in physics and spesh! i saw that you're doing 4 vce subjects in yr 10 that's super impressive!! all the best and don't stress yourself too much : ))

ahh i just realised there's a typo in the title does anyone know how i can edit it 😭

Chibby

delta_time I’m pretty sure if you click the 3 buttons on the side, you can edit the title? Hope that helps! (maybe lmao)

Chibby

delta_time but also “maadness” has a nice ring to it lmfao

delta_time

Chibby aghh i can't seem to edit it for some reason but thank you for your help! ig it'll have to be kept as maadness for now haha

Chibby

delta_time atleast it’ll stand out from the crowd of “maadness” !

delta_time

Chibby haha luring people into my journal with my typos

Chibby

delta_time well if it makes you feel any better, i didn’t notice any spelling mistake into you brought it up :p

delta_time

Chibby oh no i shouldn't have mentioned it then 🙊 pretend it isn't there

Chibby

I believe you should be able to edit your own posts (except I can’t remember if you can edit your own titles?), but if not, you can request a mod to do so. I can do this for you now if you like? 🙂

delta_time

AngelWings yeah i tried editing it but i can only edit the contents of the post. i think i might keep it just for fun haha thanks a lot : )) !

Chibby

delta_time it’s like english language bs! You “”purposely”” misspelt to grap attention (im not an english person 😭)

hello it has been a hot minute since i last posted whoops!

the last couple of weeks leading up to the school holidays were incredibly stressful with assessments for all of my subjects. unfortunately i didn't do very well on most of them but i think that was because my time management was very poor and i left a lot of things to the last minute. for chem i was basically studying all the content from the term the night before. i don't think it went particularly well but i'll find out next term along with the results of some of my other subjects. i'm hoping i can improve on this next term : ) !

anyways, i'm wondering if it is still possible for me to get a raw 50 in physics despite getting low 90s in my sac? i imagine probably not, but if i manage to ace the final exam at the end of the year would it still be possible? any ideas would be appreciated thanks!

hope everyone has a good break 🙂

Ha, welcome back to Atarnotes dude! I got to assume its still possible for a raw 50 aslong as your rank is high enough + exam score. Hey on the score thing, it’s only been 1 term dude. There’s 7 more to make a mark so try on focus more on the improvement than being annoyed.

delta_time

Chibby haha thank you!! atm i'm not sure what my ranking is our teacher didn't share them, but i'm hoping it's high enough! and yes that's true i'm gonna try and improve over the holidays and come back stronger next term haha. thank you for your encouragement!

Chibby

delta_time Thing I’ve seen doing VCE is the workload is kinda crazy in comparison so if youre even able to survive one, thats impressive AF!
