2 Ancient History 83/100 87/100 85 5 :) (I just wish my exam mark had been better. :P Really happy with my asssessment mark!)

First exam results back in Modern and Maths. Modern: 88%, which I'm okay with but multiple choice really screwed me over. Maths was 67% (so not my strong area!) Dreading English results.

Probably going to type up some Modern notes. Fair bit of holiday readings and homework assigned, though.

No, I'm definitely aware. It's more that (as you can see in my signature) I am sitting a subject that is for the HSC this year, so my focus is much more directed that way. I do focus and study on that. Thanks for the advice, though. I definitely agree and plan on bettering myself as a student...

I'm awful. I don't really study unless it's really neccessary. I do my homework and assessments as set, but I'd really rather read for leisure so that usually steals my time. I do try to get a little study in, and I do a lot more for Ancient than I would for my preliminary subjects. I do plan on...

LOL, heck yes, L&O. Much better way to spend the holidays. :D

Contemplating picking up Extension History. :confused:

LOL. Yay for being more motivated than I am in my final year of the subject. :haha: Good motivation, though. I know the feeling!

How Language Works by David Crystal. Awesome, awesome read.

What do you specifically need help with? I might be able to help. (Did & loved the Romanovs in term 1.) Shoot me a PM if you want. :)

Not much progress, not really. Haven't even glanced at prelim stuff, though I've got an essay and an empathy task due first week back. :uhoh: I've finished my Julius Caesar speech and started my third essay for Rome in Ancient, though. I guess that's something. :P

Nope, not really. My only advice is not to let your work ethic slip too far just because it doesn't count towards anything, because you'll still need those skills come year eleven and twelve and I regret not embracing them earlier! Really, looking at some of the SCs handed out the day I...

1/36 which I'm thrilled with, but really annoyed at my actual marks and the stupid mistakes that put me there! Stupid half yearly.

Glad things got fixed for you, Ipodnano. Had a similar issue where I was listed as coming second in SOR, but turns out I'm tied for first. Would have grated at me if I didn't clear it up. :p

Study for Ancient, catch up on sleep for the rest? :p Really no intention to study for any prelim, LOL. Might glance over German so the language doesn't fall out of my head while I'm relaxing, though.

Mid-course results! HSC Ancient History - 12/71 (82%) Advanced English - 1/36 (90%) Studies of Religion II 1/21 (94%) Modern History - 3/38 (92%) German Beginners - 1/13 (90%) General Maths - 14/211 (82.5%) Reasonably happy with this report. Ancient and Maths could be better, and slightly...

Oh, yes, the workload is so crazy. I'm really not looking forward to year twelve workload! (Admittedly, I write this as I procrastinate my essay for Ancient. :P) There's definitely a lot of commitment that seems to be involved in EE2, but I think (would hope!) that if you were even considering...

I love the content, for sure, I'm just not so keen on my class or teacher, so I'm looking forward to tying that up. Admittedly I will miss Rome, but I'm definitely more of a Modern History person. :) Mostly taking it because being accelerated it was mostly our only option, and I saw it as a good...

Hahaha, true, a lot of pressure. I think it's normal to be jittery. I think I'm just anxious to move into the real interesting stuff. Or perhaps it's just the notion that Ancient History will be done for me, forever! :D

Life? What's that? :P Anyway, to answer, I'm not so much scared as I am a little anxious. Excited to actually do work that counts towards something, and all of the awesome things that come with seniority! Nervous about my HSC Ancient Exam, but everything else I'm looking forward to starting...
