I did some specialist work this afternoon so today I’ve done a total of 125 minutes of work today.

Tomorrow at school I have specialist, physics and English (English is my least favourite subject, and currently we’re studying Macbeth) so that should be good. I then have work and a class after school, so no homework will get doen tomorrow, I assume.

I’ve only done 50 minutes of homework so far today. I’ve just started medication for my ADHD so I have been researching that (scrolling through subreddits about it and tags on tumblr) and not actually doing much work. Tomorrow marks the start of my first full week at school, so that should be fun. I’ve been working on my methods work today and I still do not understand them, but luckily this week we’re switching to doing linear relationships, which is much better.

I didn’t post yesterday because it was my first day of a new school year and as soon as I got home I just watched youtube for two hours and was not productive at all. Today was slightly better, I had pasta for breakfast, ran some errands down the street, made almond bread and banana bread (the trick to good banana bread is incorporating approximately 2 blocks of caramello chocolate), did some checkpoints questions for biology, and decorated my wall with a torn up calendar!

Tomorrow I’m going to have galettes for breakfast, which I’m excited about, fill out my contract, which I’m nervous about, and finish off some maths work, which I have somehow still not finished?

Today has been a very slow day, trying to work through some specialist questions and not going too well (as you may be able to see in the photo of my book). Today is my last day of holidays, going into school tomorrow for the first day of my second last year of high school! Also today I’m sitting at my actual desk instead of a shared table, and it is definitely too small for all my books. So far I’ve done 100 minutes of homework today, but I’m going to take a break now, do my stretches, watch some tv, and then return to do some methods and english work.

No photo today, but I swear I did do some homework. Yesterday I worked on some specialist and methods questions whilst on the train, a and did a total of 116 minutes of homework. Today I’ve only done 60 minutes of homework, as I was at a friends house and could only do work on the train home. I’m about to have a zoom meeting, which is slightly stressful because I haven’t used zoom on this computer yet.

Tomorrow I have to go into school to get my locker and my timetable, and then I start on Friday!

I’ve officially finished all my biology homework, hooray! I’ll still have to do questions and stuff, but nothing that’s assigned. Today I also managed to finish off my notes for specialist. Later today I am catching a train up to the closest city to hang out with a friend, so I’m hoping I can do some maths questions on the train.

Also made buckwheat crepes for breakfast today, that was nice.

Today was a productive day. Had a fantastic breakfast of spelt pasta with pesto, chilli, parmesan and alfalfa. I managed to do 200 minutes of homework!

Things I’ve Achieved Today: -Finished biology flashcards -Handed in biology DLA -Handed in physics DLA -Did some specialist notes -Filled out some paperwork -Tidied my room -Talked to my grandma

Things on the Cards for Tomorrow: -Finish specialist notes -Do some methods work -Do my last bit of biology work -Make almond bread -Shower

Tomorrow might not be super productive as I have to catch a train up to the closest city to stay with a friend overnight, and I’m planning on making crepes for breakfast, but 1.5 hour train trips can be good for doing maths questions.

Finally finished my biology flashcards! It’s taken sooooo long to do, but I think they’ll be a great revision tool later in the year. Also managed to hand in my biology DLA, and a physics DLA that I actually finished ages ago but hadn’t submitted. Now I’m off to tackle some specialist notes, so that should be fun.

I think I’m going to try and do a post at the end of every day to talk about what I’ve got done and what’s on my to do list for tomorrow. Often at the end of the day I feel like I have accomplished nothing, which I think is because of my time blindness, so writing down what I’ve don might help with this.

Things I did today: -Made custard buns (they were delicious) -Did the washing up -Did 184 minutes of homework, almost entirely biology flashcards -Had a look over my biology DLA -Stuck some biology notes to my wall

Things to do for tomorrow: -Finish my biology flashcards (I think there are only three to go!) -Tidy my room -Write some notes for specialist -Look over my specialist DLA -Look over the contract I have to sign for one of my jobs (so much to read through, absolutely terrifying)

I think it’s going to be something like 40 degrees (celsius) tomorrow, which I’m not looking forward to, but constantly drinking iced coffees and iced chocolates should get me through, plus a swim at the end of the day.

Today I’ve been working on some biology flashcards. Usually I wouldn’t do flashcards (I’m somewhat of a perfectionist, so they take ages) but this was a task set by my teacher and I’m actually finding them quite useful.

Today is a good day to do homework, as it’s something like 38 degrees (celsius) outside, so nothing else is fun.

My subjects!

I haven’t introduced my subjects yet, so here we go! Unless specified these will be the subjects I am doing for the next two years! (

1-VCE Physics units 1&2 2-VCE specialist maths units 1&2 3-VCE maths methods units 1&2 4-VCE English units 1&2 5-VCE biology units 3&4 6-VCE music units 1&2 (I plan to drop this at the end of the semester and pick up VCE algorithmics units 3&4 in year twelve)

The units that go with the subjects just specify what level I’m doing them at, so unit 1&2 subjects are generally year eleven subjects, and units 3&4 are year twelve. Unit 1 is the first semester of the subject, unit 2 is the second semester, and then unit 3 is the first semester of the second year, with unit 4 being the final semester of the subject. All of the subjects listed above apart from biology I will be completing units 1&2 this year, before moving on to units 3&4 next year. The reason I am doing biology at unit 3&4 level this year is because it is a subject that you can do ‘accelerated’, meaning you do it as a year eleven subjects (units 1&2) in year ten, and then do it as a year twelve subject (units 3&4) in year eleven. Doing biology accelerated has been really good for me, as it has shown me what a VCE subject is like, and finishing it in year eleven will mean I’m only doing 5 subjects in year twelve, meaning I’ll have five free periods (a period is 45 minutes at my school) a week.

New Here

Hi all! I am a student about to begin (like, literally in six days) my first year of VCE. For those of you outside of Victoria/Australia, VCE is the Victorian Certificate of Education, and is one of the ways you can graduate high school in Victoria. VCE occurs in the last two years of highschool, so I believe I am going in to what Americans would call junior year, or here in Australia, year 11 (not sure what it’s call in the UK, 5th form? Please tell me!).

I’m creating this blog to keep myself motivated with my subjects throughout the next two years, and also so that I will have some kind of visual tracker of my progress over time. I’m very new to the studyblr community so if anyone has any pointers or suggestions they would be greatly appreciated
