Assignments due in 10, 14, 16, 20 and 21 days. I will not procrastinate anymore. I feel like I’ve almost left the 10 days one too late. Time to break down each into steps and give meself some faux deadlines. I can do this.

Ooh okay! I think I have some of those that I haven’t given a good go - am kind of scared to, but I shall try them when I know I’ll be at home all day.
There’s a quiz called put a cup in it that can help you find the right cup for you and also one for discs as well.

Same deal here. But it’s a much bigger market now, there might be a better one out there.

I’ve been using the saalt one which has been alright, but it leaks unless I open it fully and then insert it, which is kind of painful.
- Comment on Discussion Thread 🍓 Sunday 30 March 2025 1 day ago:
I’m thinking of trying a disc too, because the cup has suction and today the suction felt like it was ripping my insides out.

I still remember having a baby robot for health class in Year 10. Just as I had fallen asleep, I got woken up again. Makes me feel for people who don’t get mat leave around the world and are forced to go to work or resign from their jobs.

I’d say a chicken would be better than the peanut butter the youths of today seem to be using

Why does the election have to be on my birthday? :(

Today in the junior class I was observing, the teacher handed out connector pens. Some kids started using them as guns and point them at others. Wouldn’t care but they were distracting each other. So I went around the room and collected the pens, and of course offender numero uno said,
“Whyyyyyyy?! That’s so rude of you!”
These kids just sit there talking or fidgeting the entire time and then when it comes to doing work, they’re clueless. The teacher didn’t do an awful lot of behaviour management because she didn’t want to take time out of the learning for the kids who actually wanted to be there. She also said having a seating plan makes them antagonise you more sometimes.
Ring leader of the disruptive kids was pulled out of class by the teacher. Turns out he forgot to take his ADHD meds today. This is the moment I realised why ADHD was most commonly looked at in boys. Girls tend to be less disruptive.

Oh no, not the chicken dick.

What I forgot to mention was that I picked it up from the chicken shop. Don’t know if I’d trust getting an entire chicken delivered by a stranger.

My mum and I were going to get something from the local chicken shop for dinner, but then I saw I had a $20 off Uber Eats for first time use. So we got a whole charcoal chicken for $5. A steal.

Yep, I feel like a lot of kids will slip through the cracks and they’ll get to upper primary when someone recognises that they can’t read :(

Cheers! Not lecturey at all :)
I’m glad to hear you had a good teacher to guide you with essay writing!

just my rant about the education system
The school I’m at has very low standards for its students. Most students are not interested in tertiary education or are doing unscored VCE, so all they have to do is fill in a worksheet for each subject (barring English I think) and there’s their satisfactory. They don’t even have to pass the unit tests, and if they want to pass, all they really have to do is regurgitate information from a textbook and tailor to different scenarios. Then there’s the UK’s curriculum and IB, requiring students to write essays in their science subjects and conduct their own research projects. GCSEs probably have more rigour than the VCE system, and that’s not even the final qualification if you do A levels. I understand education in the academic setting is not for everyone, but I feel like as someone who actually wanted to develop better critical thinking skills throughout my education, the system has failed me. All I learnt from doing VCE was how to memorise a bunch of pretty much useless facts, so I when I got to uni, I knew fuck all about writing essays. Heck, I still can’t write a very good essay or write well in general. Maybe my experience would’ve been different if I did more humanities subjects. But I’m about to go on and teach kids content that they’re going to have to memorise for an exam. At least with one of my subjects, it’s easier to deviate from the whole “here are some slides, now take notes” thing and make it more hands-on.

My dad has worked for his company for about 15 years. They implemented psychometric testing about 10 years ago. If he had to do the psychometric testing, I’m not sure they would’ve hired him. He’s very good at his job, but is pretty much the laughing stock of the office.

Uncertain and fearful :)
But I’ve done quite a few exercises on tolerating uncertainty with my psych e.g. reminding myself that I can cope, observing emotions.
Thanks for checking in.

I’ll see what happens tomorrow and ask the coordinator for advice. Thanks for the suggestion, and also don’t worry about reaching out to your friends! Thanks though :)

I don’t know how to feel about my decision.
Thanks Seagoon :)
