It's currently week 7 of the first term and already I can feel the pressure of all the homework and assignments and the studying and the reviewing and EVERYTHINGGGGGGGGGGGG. This was our exam week, and trying to remember things the night before and on the day wasn't very helpful. I think I'm going to go crazy, especially with Adv. English.
My Society and Culture test occurred on Wednesday; it was easier than I thought it would have been, though I still had difficulty answering questions. I was angry that I studied everything that wasn't in the test. Believe me, I know it was good for me myself to study everything anyway as revision, but because my assessments are on the same week it's difficult to plan everything out and make it work.
My CAFs assignment was also due on the same day. I had worked on it the night before, staying up the wholeeeeeee night just to do it because I procrastinated during the 2 weeks I was able to do it. Yes, very smart. As my teacher was going through some of them she said that a lot of us weren't following the criteria, that it was very simple and high marks weren't going to be rewarded as much as she wished to give out. I know I'm one of them; it was a dodgy job to say the least. But I don't mind, because I've done it, and it's out of the way.
Today I had 2 math exams and an English listening exam. At 730 this morning I had an unofficial topic test on Polynomials (3Unit class is before school because it doesn't fit in with our timetable). I was complaining at first (typical of me), but as I was doing it I realised that this was what I needed; I've never learnt polynomials before so with this I realised I don't understand most of the concepts, which is bad because I need to know it or I'm screwed, :/
English was the first official test I had; it was held in the gym so every preliminary student was there. It was a listening task; I think I did well, despite my struggles. English is one of my weak points, since I have no imagination and my interpretations are really bad. But I'm pretty sure I did better than a lot of students, I mean, the kids at my school aren't really a bright bunch....
After our recess break I had my 2UNIT math exam; it was quite short- 4 questions in one hour- but oh were there obstacles. I'm sure I did most of it right, because the questions have smaller questions in it, (if that makes any sense). It was just a few trick questions; other than that I hope I did well.
Tomorrow I have an English essay and analysis due. After my former teacher got promoted, Ms Sake, a grumpy, mean old woman, became our teacher. You could say she's crazy as it is, but it may be a little of a stretch. But yes, she gives out homework like it's nothing because we can do it within a day... :(
I haven't done anything, and I'm not gonna do my essay, though I'll do my analysis. She's scary when she's angry, and I don't really want to feel her wrath.
But she's nice too. Cute, even. And no, not in that "Ngawwww what a little cutie!" But more like "She's so scary but when she smiles, laughs, or makes a joke, it's genuine and is cute." People think I'm weird, I don't know. But it's true. She's a really good teacher; she'll get you confident in no time. Which is exactly what I need to become in the next 6 weeks!
After this week I have tutor homework, my chemistry assignment, TAFE homework, revision on all subjects....
Yep, no sleep for me this year.
:(
