YOUR NOTES NEED NOT BE BEAUTIFUL

88 days left

Okay, time's flying really fast. My term exam results come on Monday or Tuesday and my accountancy teacher told me that I did really bad and that she was disappointed in me and that i should concentrate more on it.

So, I'm wondering how the heck did I do bad in a subject that I was studying almost everyday?! And then this other girl studied 3 days before the exam and got like 95+

Honestly, the paper was alright but i panicked and did some shitty things :// gonna avoid that in the future.

Today I:

Revised some Economics

Did accounts (1 and a half hours)

And yes, I'm gonna be putting extra effort from now on because it's really close to my next term exams and then it's gonna be followed by Revision exams and I have a school function on top of that.... i just wanna sit and cry honestly T-T

Projects to complete:

Economics (by Monday)

Computers (By Oct end)

Today was my Arabic exam, it was quite alright. Though I think I'll get some scores cut because of spelling mistakes T-T Anyway, tomorrow I have English (6 lessons + Grammar) I haven't really touched my textbook today, instead I did accounts because I'm literally going mad over there :")

Also does anyone else feel like English grammar is tough when you're actually fluent in English? Like, I just know what the answer is but teachers complicate things by giving us a number of rules to memorize, like, that's not how a language is supposed to be learnt T-T

I hadn't gone to school for the past two days because of some cold and allergy but i didn't really miss alot. Today was fully catching up on what happened etc etc... I'm even participating in a type of a debate competition, first time doing something like this but I'm trying to push myself out of my comfort zone and speak up alittle, you know? I don't know if I'll get selected but atleast I tried...

Today i:

Completed like 20% of a lesson in computers

Prepared for debate

Nothing else really...

Study Tip - 3

Something I've seen quite a lot nowadays is people studying with timers, like, I still don't understand it... I've asked many people and they're like "It helps us to finish the goal while managing time and we complete our revision sooner"

But the main thing is, they don't remember it for more than a few hours or days... for me the goal is to complete the task perfectly and not to complete it faster than anyone.

Because when you keep looking at the clock, you're worried more about the time than the work. You're more excited about getting a break after that specific time than the actual studying. That is why, when i study, I face towards an empty wall and I can easily work without worrying about the time.

Don't set a time limit for any work, you'll realise how much work you'll actually get done when you're not looking at the clock.

Of course, this doesn't have to work for you but I think that this could help you expand your average study time.

No harm trying it :)

Study until you think you are perfect and then study some more because you are never perfect.

You know, being a senior is such a good vibe. Like, nobody messes with you and everyone comes to talk to you from sophomore and junior years to ask about class selection and finals. And you give the vibe of that wise old owl who in fact doesn't know anything.

I have no idea how I'm going to complete such a huge amount of syllabus in around 5-6 months. Gosh, I can't believe there's literally only 6 months left for my whole schooling to get completed!

I've been trying to focus on accounts and economics more because honestly, computers and business studies is a little bit easier this year. Just alittle.... at least for now T-T

And I haven't touched English and Arabic so I'm pretty scared. My second set of mid terms are at the end of the month but I'm still preparing the syllabus for the one's that i finished... I know it sounds stupid but in my opinion, my main goal right now is only to get amazingly terrific grades in my final exams so with that in mind, I'm... doing something else which i don't know what T-T

Today I completed:

Accounts chapter 5

Topics covered:

Distribution of profits, reserves and losses

Revaluation

Capital account

Revised accounts chapter 4

This is it guys, highschool is almost over. Just 5 more days. More like almost a month to prepare but let's ignore that.

A Reminder To Those Who Need It.

I got this question a lot and I'm absolutely tired of hearing it...

"What are you doing in college?", "What are your plans after senior year?"

Like, I don't even know what I'm gonna do over the break or the next whole year, so, i thought maybe it's like this for everyone. People are expected to decide everything like it won't actually impact their life. Most of my class is damn sure about what they wanna do while me? I just wanna pass senior year with good grades and think about it slowly and with a clearer head.

For me, the main thing that matters is that i shouldn't regret taking something i don't like and I don't wanna rush the whole decision up. And i just got like such judgy eyes... ugh... Like, I don't know what i want... Why is that not okay nowadays? Why is taking time to figure it out not alright?

So, to everyone who's in a situation like me...

You don't have to have everything figured out, if you don't know what you're gonna do, that's completely fine. Take your time, it's not a race.

Honestly, it can be quite confusing and you may feel like you might be kinda lax about it but honestly, it's definitely okay :)

You're not obliged to rush your decisions just because another person has already made theirs.

Just wanted to say that... okay, bye.
