The Dilemma:
I don't know if I should drop Japanese.

Expected 2009 subjects:
MX1, MX2, English Ad, Economics, Physics and maybe Japanese Continuers.

Reasons for:
  • I have a love-hate relationship with it
  • It takes up too much time to study
  • I'm not good with memorising languages
  • I can read and listen fine, but I can't speak well or compose my own Japanese.
  • I'd rather be spending time doing Maths :)
Reasons against:
  • My teacher thinks I can do very well in it (she recommended me to do Jap. Extension)
  • I'm coming Top 3 in the class
  • The scaling is good.
  • I'm planning to pick up 4U maths and if I'm not good at it, I can drop it and have my Japanese to fall back on.
  • If I drop Japanese I'll have 10 Units and that's really risky because my Physics teacher is a bit dodgy.
  • But then again, I'll have more time to focus on other subjects without it and EX1.
What do you think?

Any comments/suggestions are appreciated :)

lols

love hate relationship.

is it a classroom, or distance ed course, cause distance ed course get extra UAI marks

alternatively try it for one term of year 12 i.e. next term and that see how you go and go from there

Japanese kuso. If you don't like the subject you might as well drop it.

Carmen, you know me and languages! I suck at them. And I no longer have any inspiration to do it. And Wakkatta and all those Koala worksheets are pissing me off.

hmm yea
+1 to keeping it then drop half way
But she's put in so much effort. I rememeber back in year 10 she pulled me out of class to ask me why I wouldn't choose Japanese .. and eventually won me over.
