Chem half-yearly was okay except for one question where we had to work backwards to get the specific heat capacity. Probably didn't study enough for Bio because I was so scared Chem would be too hard, because there were several answers I had to leave blank.

At my school, drama and maths run in the same periods, and I chose drama because I thought it would be the easy way out after awful maths results in year 10. (My reasons for picking music were the same, since it was either that, modern history or business studies. Dropped it eventually, but...

Only two weeks in and I'm already tired despite having only 4 subjects left. Drama is the worst. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

We get our timetables on our first day back. I've been hoping all summer that my Chem teacher from last year decides NOT to renew his contract, so we get someone better. I'm prepared for the worst, though.

Well, I ended up dropping. Hated the subject too much to keep going, and decided to improve my others instead. I'm not regretting it at all, since music is just not a hobby of mine and I found the subject to be no fun. (I posted this at a ridiculous time because of insomnia.) Sent from my...

I'm breezing through Chem atm, all thanks to my awesome tutor. I can calculate the molar heat of combustion flawlessly now. He goes to USyd. Actually getting in would be a dream come true! Anyone doing Chem got a research task yet? Seems like it's not happening till next year for us, since our...

Not putting my last name on my jersey because I'm not a fan of it at all. Decided on haruharu in the end... it's a shortened form of Haruka, which is my most common nickname (I know far more people who call me Haruka than my real name), and also means "day by day" in Korean. Still need to get...

Finished my visual rep for English. It was easier than I thought... and NO MORE MUSIC! Yay! This leaves me with 10 units total, with 2 already done.

Hopefully dropping Music if I'm allowed... it's just getting on my nerves since my dream career is the least musical thing ever. We're forced to join ensembles at my school, and since learning an instrument was too hard, I was forced into choir and hate it. This will leave me with 8 units + the...

As my previous post says, terrible since they're making us do visual reps again... even if 75% of the class sucks at art. And they have to be directly related to the poems, with no room to add our own personal touches. For once, I actually want to write an essay! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using...

Blame my school being the only visual arts-based school in the entire state, even though most of the people who are there for the sake of the arts program are in Advanced. We have to do a visual rep every year. And we also have to study poetry every year, no matter how much the teachers know we...

I'm so damn sick of this English bullshit. We have to study poetry and do a visual rep about the poems, with no room for any imagination whatsoever. So much for this subject promoting creativity...

Anyone else's school have that system where a teacher is chosen to be your mentor? (to discuss your progress, concerns about the HSC, subjects etc.) I'm happy with the teacher I ended up with, since it was exactly who I expected. If anyone else here is at a school that does this, what do you...

I had that reservation about it too. Shin-nichi, though, sounds like Shinichi, which is a guy's name in Japan... so maybe neither of them are that good. I don't want anything related to my name on there, since I don't think my name really fits me (it's one of those old-fashioned names, since my...

Hopefully going to do an intensive language course in Japan before starting uni. My uncle and aunt live there, so most likely staying in Fukuoka (it's in the south) with them. It's my dream to work for a company over there, so I'm hoping to get into an Arts/Commerce double major and continue my...

Yeah... we've got a Pathways student in our year. He towers over us in height too, so it's awkward.

My main concern atm is Music... mostly because I'm not your typical Music student (no formal vocal training, narrow tastes, not planning to have anything to do with it in the future). Had to bullshit my way through the course because reading music does not come naturally to me at all. Not...

Got my preliminary English results back; 80% on the exam, which actually isn't too bad. Agreed on the part about Belonging... we're all in for two terms hearing nothing but. Well, if we survived Journey, we can get through this too, right? Already started planning out my creative writing piece...

I've made up my mind to keep the subject, but have a question: does being able to play an instrument make any difference in the practical component? As in, will I be able to get a good mark based on vocal skills alone? I'm not really confident in my vocal skills either since I don't know how to...

I'll probably spend all the time on the big things - performances for Music and my individual project for Drama, and maybe read through the prescribed texts, possibly for the second time so I can really get a good understanding.
