Just going to get those 5 subject books, but use 1 per topic.

Eg. So in English I'll have one for each text, with 1 section each dedicated to:
Summary of Plot
Characters
Themes & Motifs
Historical Context
Quotes

Also, I'll probably have a filing cabinet for all the sheets I get. At the moment thats all kind of a mess.

You know the funny thing most of these promises you make yourself won't last. Most of your organisation plans won't last the full HSC either.

But good luck all the same.

What I intend to do:
- Use folders and keep them organised
- Makes notes on the topics as we finish them and read through them making sure I understand it, and if I don't ask the teacher
- Do homework as soon as its given to me, and extra in things like Maths
- Start assignments early and hand in drafts to teachers to see where I'm going wrong
- Keep drama logbook up to date
- Make sure I have a good study area

What I will do:
- None of the above

Haha I wish I was that dedicated to school

The system I had this year for organisation seemed to work well enough
- Four ring folders for each subject, other than Drama, with all past work. Dividers to separate topics.
- One folder taken to school with current modules. Assignments kept in front.


As far as study goes, I dare not be ambitious.
-I hope to do my homework, including the questions for history that I wasn't explicitly asked to do.
-I intend on keeping my drama log up to date and know that will be a struggle.
-I plan on moving the good television somewhere deeply uncomfortable and the very very old one to the living room, in order that I might become so pissed off that I turn it off and study.
- If and when I do study... I will make notes, I suppose... I've only ever crammed before.

I might develop things further once I see how dreadfully I did in my exams and once I know what I'll actually need to do for Year 12.

Fuck i hate the loose leaf system. I'm definitely not using it for Year 12. I'd lose papers and rip them and yeah, biggest waste of my life ever.
