7:30 on a Friday night and I am here researching Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr for Extension History

 

[WTbattleace]

History on a Friday night is a vibe. There is no better subject for a time like that. Also, I'm curious, what do you want to do after high school? You are literally maxxed out on English and history so don't tell me you are going to do something else in the complete opposite direction.

My dream course would be to do a BSecStudies at Macquarie. After that, I want to join the AFP or get into politics.

You talking about the major project?

 

[WTbattleace]

I have settled on the Black Wars in Tasmania, and the historiographical discussion on genocide, looking at the contexts and political motivations of Keith Windschuttle, Henry Reynolds, and Lyndall Ryan.

Also, what is your case study? My school does JFK

Pretty sure mine does too. How many students are in your class? There are 3 inc. me at my school so not many at all

What DID surprise me was the 2023 st. Pius cohort having like 15 kids

Super simple...... I don't think I signed up for 2+ hours of pure torture but I've done 2A (i may do the questions tmr cause my understanding is cooked). Whyyyy are there so many words how on earth do you remember all of this. All these words are warped beyond my recognition. I had to google, ai. And the proof symbols are so cooked they overcomplicate everything but thankfully its probably not compulsory. There was no algebra @f7eeting I'm literally dazed after reading that but remember how i said I disliked the book format. It has grown on me or it's probably that my brain isn't functioning properly. mex1 is one thing but idek what to classify this as.....

my brother why the hell are you up at 2 doing proof, get some sleep dawg

THIS IS SO COOOLLLL OMG!! how does it feel learning ext 2 content? haha
proof was intimidating to me at first too, but after i started getting used to the notation i felt that it was just things we've always been using in math (and even just logical arguments in general) but more formalised with symbols
proof actually does use algebra quite a lot once you get past the definitions, but most of it is very basic, like yr 10 stuff

See, I started at 11:30pm around (idk why i wasted 3/4 of my day doing nothing) and it was supposed to be "super simple" and only take me 30 minutes. The issue is that I didn't know like 3/4 of the vocabulary and any of the symbols, so I actually had to understand from scratch (I've literally forgotten everything after sleeping) so ig I'll revise this and try the actual proof today that root 2 is irrational. It wasn't supposed to take as long as it did, i'll just say that

now that you've learnt all the definitions, the proof for root 2 won't take very long
and i promise you once you finish and understand the proof it'll be very satisfying

i love haram arabs

 

[f7eeting]

So far from what I gather just comprehending the topics is more of a challenge than actually doing adv (and im pretty sure ext1yr12) and yesterday felt like an English lesson. It is interesting albeit insanely hard for me to wrap my head around but not too bad

my next assessment for ext 2 is on proof, im kinda scared ngl
50 marks worth of JUST proof

trust me youll be fine, the proof isn't too bad so you should be fine
