hi, i went out with some friends today. wasn't too bad, we were out for like 2 hours which is in my opinion more than enough. we're going to see each other like twice before i go to italy, which is in 10 DAYS OH MY GOOOOOODDDD
i'm going to italy so hopefully me being there will ensure kimi wins in austria, but maybe max can pull some tricks out of the hat.
Also is this not the most underwhelming world cup ever? I haven't even watched any games, South Africa had a generational aura loss losing to Mexico, but the people from the Netherlands, YOU GUYS. it's party at 12 pm in the streets of dallas and i'm living for it. i think orange is the official colour of the netherlands now
now if you didn't know, me and miss-david are the same person so i am going to work a little on miss david for now. why 2 sites? i feel like i want two distinct styles that cannot live simultaneously together so yeah. been cross-posting to both so it's been a bit exhausting
buongiorno everyone
I have successfully survived the hell-ish two weeks that were the worst of my entire exam season. I have only maths left, so I want to summarise my predictions for what I think I’m going to get for exams and then on the 24th of July I’ll let you know if I’m right.
English P1 (comprehension): Went ok. Thought it was easy. 4/10 on the difficulty scale. ≈60-70% (exact mark prediction: 68%)
English P2 (Literature): Went kind of bad. Thought I didn’t answer my questions well enough and didn’t know my work. 9/10 on the difficulty scale. ≈50-60% (exact mark prediction: 55%)
Afrikaans P1 (comprehension): Went ok as well. Still struggled a little because it’s afrikaans. 6/10 on the difficulty scale. ≈50-60% (exact mark prediction: 61%)
Afrikaans P2 (Literature): Went better than english lit. Questions were kind of easy, but it is still Afrikaans. 5/10 on the difficulty scale. ≈60-65% (exact mark prediction: 63%)
Tourism: Went very well. Was very easy. 2/10 on the difficulty scale. ≈75-80% (exact mark prediction: 84%)
Geography: Went terribly. Worst exam of the season. Missed an entire page on the back. 10/10 on the difficulty scale. ≈40% if I am lucky (exact mark prediction: 48%)
Business P1: Went kind of bad. Blanked on a lot of my work and made up a lot of things. 8/10 on the difficulty scale. ≈50-60% (exact mark prediction: 63%)
Business P2: Went better than P1. Remembered much more of my work and actually enjoyed it. 4/10 on the difficulty scale. ≈70-80% (exact mark prediction: 83%)
Life Orientation: Did not get orientated for my life. 6/10 on the difficulty scale. ≈60% (exact mark prediction: 64%)
Maths P1: Friday 19 June
Maths P2: Monday 22 June
hi everyone, so i just survived my double exam session and i need to say, that was very bad. i wrote english in the first session which i feel went well and i wrote geography in the second session, which i feel went quite bad.
i didn’t feel that i focused a lot on geography, but i also feel like i was shafted a little bit with business yesterday. i focused hard on business cause i wanted to get a good mark, and when it came to the exam, i bailed on the section i studied quite hard (business environments) because it was all things i couldn’t really remember.
i felt like they were examining things that just didn’t play a big role in the curriculum and it makes me upset because i spend all my time studying the big stuff just for it to not play a role.
i studied business challenges because it said it would count ~20 marks of the test and trust me, they didn’t even ask like more than 3 questions about it. on the other hand, marketing, which was apparently ~70 marks, did not feature in the questions at all and was just a 40 mark essay which i lowkey bailed on because I DIDNT STUDY IT
this is all just giving me major anxiety because it’s always these millions of minuscule details they focus on and it happened in geography too where they just ask minute details that are mentioned off the hand in the textbook, and trust me, there’s just so many of them.
i don’t think this is fair, because making questions from off the hand information that plays 0 role in the textbook or my understanding of a concept is not an effective way of measuring our understanding of the work.
because trust me, i studied. i really did. i used the feynman technique where you like “teach” the concepts and it was…ok. i could do it, and i knew i was not getting a distinction from this paper but i just wasn’t expecting it to be so bad.
i’m kind of upset on how the exam season is turning out. the only papers i feel went ok were LO and english p1. ive written 5 in total so far and thats not a ratio i’m liking.
i still want to go to university 😔
yes i am aware this says JUNE but i just made the page and i want something to put here. hi hello. welcome to my thoughts. yes i am writing an exam tomorrow. life is about balance ok? 2 hours of studying and now i am spending 4 hours making this page, but i must be honest, i want to enjoy my time being unemployed so sue me for having fun.
i started keeping a commonplace journal (like a physical book) and i'm having a lot of fun recording my thoughts. i feel one of my hobbies is recording, because i find it fascinating to look back on time and how we change and evolve.
i don't take art at school, but a friend of mine does and their theme for this year was "transformation" and you know how absolutely awesome of a theme that is and she literally just be sticking printed things in there. like i could've painted a guy looking back in time or something about how we change but NOOOO just fucking printed things.
I also just spent 12 minutes fixing this page. its nearly 7 pm and i started making this at 3 pm so i was LOCKED IN
