hey guys,
ok so im pretty comfortable with year 12, im doing 10 units, have 3 major projects to complete(eng ext2, art major, cafs irp), i write study notes everyday (summary of what i did in class everyday), since dropping 2 subjects i have many free periods where i will complete all homework, study a little, or continue work with my majors...and im VERY organised where it almost makes people sick, and i find i actually have alot of free time because of the way i organise my time.
however, when teachers or students ask how im coping and i respond positively, they immediately tell me if im not stressing im clearly not doing enough. im satisfied with the amount i do for each subject, i know my stuff, i continue to do lots of research if theres something im unsure about and maintain a strong relationship with my teachers and refer back to them frequently whenever i need help. but im all good, no stress, free time, all smiles...why must i stress about year 12??
dont get me wrong, i care very much about my future and where im going, but i understand that the HSC is NOT the end of the world. i am usually a high achiever and score in the top 5 of each of my subjects and in regards to how i think i will perform for the HSC, i think ill do fine, i dont have any specific goal just incase i dont get it and be big time disappointed, but should i be worried that im a lil carefree about school?
i have tried two study methods in the past and the difference is significant. i used to wake up at 2 am and study for 2 hours then at lunch id study in the library, go home, sleep, then study. I again wasnt stressed by doing this but i thought it would help. WRONG! i then decided not to care and waste my time drinking my study notes - i wrote notes read them a few times, put them away, slept well, woke up, read my notes one last time, went to school, completed my exams...and tah dah, the best results i had ever recieved. BIG difference in marks compared to the last time, and of course more free time to do other things.
im starting to occupy my mind not with school work or study, but the fact that im completely worry free and not overly confident but comfortable with my flexible routine. im sick of people going crazy over the hsc, i know people who have aleady cried because of the amount of stress they are going through. should i be worried? or should i just block these people out?
are you guys at all stressed?
