do YOU have tips on how to memorise essays?

i usually repeatedly write it out, except i can't afford to do that. like my ex-ruse friend wrote it out so many times she had a disease in her hand, but board of studies rejected her appeal because that thing was because of studying and not something else.

my brother is so angry these days he hasn't even reached senior school...

ahhhh, i was hoping uws was a tiny bit less competitive than unsw, but that's obviously not the case...

i handed in ext 1 creative 4 times in the past two weeks. must do better...

and i finally watched jumping in equestrian! it was only cross country, not inside the arena...there's this tension when i kind of want a horse to trip because it would be a tad more interesting....(i'm not heartless, i actually love horses)

i can't wait for 2016 olympics where i can actually follow it...yes, they have definitely overshowed rowing and swimming....please show something else during prime time when i eat
the asian countries are so good at swimming this year...

if only i got full marks for all my essays, then i don't have to spend these last few days re-doing/fixing up my essays, which are getting in the way of my memorising time.

channel 9 has been focusing wayyy to much on the Aussies, who aren't doing very good at this stage...

oh, i also love rhythmic gymnastics with their dances and ribbons and hoops and random other stuff. haven't seen any yet...

yesyesyes! saw 3 aussie artistic gymnastics routine. i just love the artistic ones since it has dance elements (:
china is so good at swimming this year, it's kind of unbelievable.
and saw equestrian! except it was just showing off your skills, and not jumping type...

hate how my brother always says what's going on and then i succumb to watching a bit

ahh, cannot do mod b, even though out of all the texts, it's probs my fav.

London 2012 Olympic Games

yayayayay! olympics! time has passed by so quickly, i still remember 2008, and parts of 2004.

need to exert so much self control not to over-watch olympics. i woke up late-ish today, but just in time to see the olympic torch being passed and the whole flame thing. my brother woke at 5.30am to see the beginning (he's not a morning person) so once they got to the country part (which took over an hour) he fell asleep and missed the part i watched....but it got replayed in the arvo...

i really love how every country has its own speciality to portray, and all the stories behind it.

as i've said before, my favourite sports are: swimming, gymnastics and synchronised diving. oh, and equestrian except they hardly ever show it. i think they've over-showed swimming today. i want to see some floor work for gymnastics! i love their costumes (: i actually don't follow Olympics tennis, it's not the same feel as grand slams. also, track and field isn't really interesting unless it's the 100m men finals.

the only thing i like about road cycling is when they crash (but then i feel really heartless and then very sad since the person who fell caused 10 other people's injury/can't continue, 30 people tangled in massive mob, 20+ people had to ride on grass to divert from mob and more than 20 bikes need change of wheels, and then they just fall behind...)

i don't get why they chose the basketballer. i didn't even know since until like yesterday. why can't they choose people like jones who is participating in her 4th games.

on a side note, just read happy apple's post. my brother got to touch the sydney one and stood next to the athens one back in '04 at this kids club thing. i wanted to go as well, but i had my own sleepover party to attend that friday night...

how did '08 year 12's restrain from watching olympics? i actually haven't been on fb for over a week, not even on phone since i ACTUALLY HAVE NO TIME, yet, i somehow find time to watch tv =/

(: /: ): D:

i feel more confident in myself now (not in an arrogant way). story is, after umat, i went home and watched approx 1.5 hours tv, then i wrote a completely different creative in 2 hours.
and i got it back today, and it has ticks instead of question marks! and a comment on a part that says "love it". first time in 1.5 years that actually doesn't say it's crap. so i basically wasted my summer holidays and other days writing a creative which i don't need. i guess, i don't feel as screwed since i was worried about creative over the other essays. the previous creative, i felt like i was going to get 8/15, but now i like this one better.

i guess i'm lucky to have this eng teacher, even though she destroys your essays. it's good in the long run i guess....actually, all english teachers are the most hard working staff only they do work after school, all the other teachers are technically "lazy"

my mum saw Kylie today at Coles! she knew my mum was staring at her. but mum didn't talk to her, since she didn't know what to say, but so cool!-now i know kylie lives in syd without google.

i can't write mod b essays.

time goes by quickly. i got 1 hr 5min of maths done when the double is supposed to be 80min.

and i'm glad i'm not the only one with piles of stufff. i study in a part of the living room, so a corner is mine, i have a pile for each subject. there's no way a yr 12 can be completely organised unless they have unlimited shelving or doesn't do any work=no sheets

HOW DO PEOPLE MEMORISE 3 ESSAYS AND WRITE THEM IN TWO HOURS? how do i cut down on mod a when i like all the sentences?

this person said umat was easy and she didn't do any practice. either she's a genius (or she's lying)

bible study was nice. i like listening to people.

ahhhhhhhhhhh, less than a weeeeek.

Logic

i have no logic. if you haven't realised already, UMAT is allllll logic.
my parents know i am slow, i also know. like in maths, it takes me forever to "get" it. but not my bro. he can do what i consider "hard"section 3 questions in 1min max, and easy ones in about 20secs.

and i quote my english teacher when she commented about my mod c essay:
"Clarify your thinking, Elisa-it's often illogical"
it takes me over 2 hours to go over and fix an essay. ):

and whilst going to acupuncture today (which took over 2 hours because of mis-bookings/lots of people) the person talked to me about subjects/what i wanted to do, and then said her daughter is in 3rd year UNSW med while her nephew is doing med at newcastle. my phys teacher does teaching(obviously, so does his wife) and his brother does so med clinical things. and how my mother's friend who used to go to girra 5 years ago, is now graduating from med this year at uws-his father is also a doctor. and i remember from medentry workshops ages ago, that this white girl's parents are lawyers, and her brother does med and she wants to do med (she seemed very smart). it's genetics! smart parents have smart children.

maybe after HSC, i will attempt to be more logical, and maybe re-do umat...or post-grad...at syd(?) idk, i only want to go to sydney because of it's buildings and grass.
everyone said it was easy.
i didn't think so.
i guessed way more than i could afford/wanted to.
oh well...
kind of paranoid i didn't circle ID no./test booklet correctly now that i think about it...
i should stop talking about umat, but it actually was a good experience.

tooooooooooo much to do....

i think i over invited =/
oops.

felt the need to double post.

i'm really excited, i actually have an idea for belonging creative after reading through section 2 passages! hopefully it's a heaps better idea than before....
i hope i can type quickly/precisely and somehow write 800 words in the next 50mins.

this year was the first time masterchef finale is on a weekday, probs because of olympics.

ahhh olympics, how i will have to sacrifice watching people swim dive jump tumble on tv, and need to wait another 4 years. maybe i can watch a bit during dinner.

and after umat, i was about to leave and realised why is my bag so light? ohhhhh, my beloved drink bottle! so it felt like hong kong, trying to push past people in the opposite direction. luckily, the officer placed it on top of my table so i could see from afar. and then there were heaps of names called out because people forgot to take their licences. at least i remembered to take mine!
