Little Grade 12 Update

I have a termed schedule at my school. Each term is 10 weeks and we cover 2 courses. In my case it is English and Bio. 

So, today in my blogpost, I want to address major things I've learned this year. 

Bio: 

I've definitely learned new studying strategies. Bio is very content heavy and it's based on critical thinking a lot. The problem in Bio is that you have to remember everything from the smallest detail to the biggest concept. But that's doable. Very much so. 
I have definitely learned how to absorb, seems like unreal amounts of information. My brain, already, automatically filters the information and I've learned to think of the questions or the type of questions that might be asked on the quiz. 

English:
 
English really broke a lot of my barriers. I hate reading novels...and dislike writing essays. This term, I read 4 books, one on which was 370pg.(that's a huge amount of reading for me) and wrote about 10 essays; each one was being edited multiple times. 
Overall, I don't think I have ever spent so much time on a subject. 
Spending 4 days rewriting an essay for 3hrs-5hrs/day made me resistant. 
Not mad, not tired, but slightly annoyed and resistant. Resistant in the sense that I accept and do the amount of work I have to. 
English definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone.
