Re: The 'I CBF TO STUDY/DO WORK AFTER TRIALS' thread

Right after the half yearlies I stopped doing homework and now i am getting really scared. Every time i sit down to do homework I can't stick to it. I have lost my drive. Don't know what to do ... scared, very scared.

ahh. i did fairly shit in modern too. lame.
my teacher said it was because i lacked "systematic study", which for her basically means 3 hours of study every second night. She said do one hour on each subject, so you are rotating, and do stuff like practice essays (which she will mark), learn in depth timelines, syllabus dot points, etc.

Still haven't got around to it... hmm.

Hist. Ext -> 86% (1st out of 2 people, lol)
English - > 88% (3rd out of around...10 people?)

Was very happy with both marks, but i'm pretty sure the teachers (especially in ext.) were very easy markers.
Dont know my marks for the other subjects but i'm 100% sure i screwed up Maths/Maths Ext. =)

5 down, 3 to go for me...

Had economics today. Not a bad paper... should've managed time a little better for extended responses. My first essay was on inflation and effectiveness of monetary policy in achieving price stability... second one was basically about inequality between nations as a result of globalisation.

I hateeedd the short answer Analyse question on sustained fiscal surpluses.. arghh. Btw... our school did the Independent Paper

Geez I just started my trials today. Had english AOS paper.

I pretty much butchered by AOS story, because I had to chage all the memories that my character had into fantasies to fit the question.

Section one and three were okay, except one of the texts in section one was basically a recount, with like 2 techniques used in the whole thing.

I still have one trial to go and I'm bludging... it's not till Thursday, but still, I should probably do something. At the moment, the motivation's just not there.

I've only gotten 2 whole exams back so far out of 6 subjects. And so far I've passed one and I've failed the other. lol
