ahh oh no, stay safe! i hope your loved ones are all ok. at least you've been able to get some things done, that's always good!

ugh no, i don't want to go back haha. what's happening with your work?

Oh wow that’s pretty intense for school holiday homework! What subjects do you take?
Yeah we are all safe thankfully. Thank you x
Well, classes will go to online learning, but school will be open for students who have parents who have to work. So I’m guessing since I’m casual I’ll still get called if someone calls off sick or something but I’ll teach a smaller class, and I’m hoping someone else will deal with the online stuff? It should be good

Oh wow you get to do year 12 subjects? Is that normal for your school system ? Or is it something you requested?

Great, I haven't looked at it, what kind of content do you talk about?
How are you Rumell? Its been a while since we have heard from you"
I do stuff about personality types and winx club. I want to reach 40 subs. Honestly I was too lazy to be here. I have no excuse.

well most schools let people do one year 12 subject, but my school is one of the only schools that lets you do two year 12 subjects in year 11, and you have to be in the top 10% of the year level for that😅

Wow really! That's pretty cool but scary to even consider haha! Good on you for being a smart cookie!
So does that mean next year you will have two less subjects to worry about? So instead of doing 6 you'll do 4?
How is French going?

haha thank you!
yep exactly, i only have to do 4 subjects next year, which will give me more time to focus on those 4. and if i don't go well in one of my year 12 subjects this year, then i can always repeat it next year as well, and get a new (and hopefully) mark.
French isn't too bad, but it can be pretty painful in terms of attempting to memorise all the different tenses and vocab, given we never really learn tenses for English, you just pick it up as you go! but yeah, i quite enjoy it, though it's definitely the worst subject to learn online, which is why i'm not really enjoying online school this year :(

Ay that's pretty great! Good luck with it and hopefully you do get to do only 4 !
Your subjects are much different from the ones I did, I would have loved to have done literature. What's that about? Is it like English subject?

Oh yeah, sounds like Spanish. But at least it is enjoyable. Hopefully remote learning ends soon though! I can imagine how hard it would be to teach and learn a language online!
How are you finding chemistry? That is the one subject that seems out of place haha! Everything else is in the Humanities/English sides of things

thank you! yeah literature is an english subject, it's usually for people that love reading (like me hehe) and basically it's an in-depth study into different books and writing styles and messages and everything. it's lots of fun!

haha it's honestly a struggle! i used to be sooooo freaking good at science, and then year 11 chem came around, and now i'm kinda failing haha. i don't know what happened between year 10 chem and year 11 chem! :((
but i do like year 12 biology, which is my other science

Haha science was never my strong subjects. So good on you for doing year 12 biology! All the best with Chem though. I did both Chem and bio in year 11 and 12 so I know the struggle, but at the same time it, some of the content taught us quite fun too

Thanks. Today I'll just focus on my YouTube. I'm continuing The Hunger Games Simulator series. It's going to be about episode 3. Winx Club themed.

we read The Yellow Wallpaper which was really good, it's a short story that was written by a woman back in the days of the 1800's i think, which was really interesting to read about!

At Uni I remember we vaguely talked about that book! It’s good to hear it was a real good book
haha thank you! hopefully i get into the hang of chem :/
I am sure you will, I remember the experiments were pretty fun. Have you done any experiments yet?

It has been fun.
However Layla and Musa were defeated early in the game. Stella and Flora made it through the middle but were defeated. Bloom and Tecna almost won. However in the end a villain (Stormy) won.

yeah we have, they've been pretty good, but chem is still such a stress haha. i have a test on monday which i'm worried for, especially given it's online :/
