13 weeks will pass more quickly than you think at uni

That and I got quizzes in week 4

 

[StudiousStudent]

My English teacher gave us homework today. We had to write a 500 word essay. I've just spent the last two hours typing it on the Mac (which sounds like a freakin jet about to launch), and the last 10 minutes admiring my work (ego like Hemingway). Mission accomplished I though
Then, as I was putting it in my folder I happend to notice hand write - sorry, I don't compute.

So now I'll get no sleep, because I am one slow writer. Who hand writes these days?

I would probably just hand in the typed version, unless your teacher is super crazy

How is that even possible? I've never written an essay <850 words unless it was the 5-6 marker in paper 1 section 1

I prefer exams way more than assignments though.

I always did too during school. But with the structure of university I'd rather that 4-6 week period free at the cost of extra hours during semester.

They probably want it handwritten to encourage you guys to write more throughout the year. When it comes time for Trials and HSC (and all of the past papers you do in between) you will regret every second of typing you did for the past 10 years as your fingers will be in agony hahahaha.

Jokes aside - feel free to type whenever as it is faster, etc. But when teachers ask for hand-written tasks specifically, just rewrite it after you've typed up the draft as you will do well to continuously handwrite things semi-regularly at least in the lead up to HSC. Your fingers will thank you in the long run.

She's a stickler for rules unfortunately.

I think it was more "oh fuck we don't have anywhere to put it" because some people were away or DE teachers coming down. The last week of school we have a no exam policy so we were kind of stuck haha

I know our schools are obvs very different lol but ours didn't give us extra holidays or whatever to study aside from HSC...

The lead-up to Trials, attendance was really spotty but technically we were meant to be in class revising up until Friday 3pm the week before exams commenced,
