Not Much But Still Fun

I finished reading The Science Of James Bond. It is one of the best books I have read.

I also did quite bit of cooking today. I made Potato and Leek soup as well as biscuits with lemon icing. :D

Intelligence & Stamina

For most of the day, I've been reading a very interesting book called "The Science of James Bond". It goes into many different sciences including, physics, chemistry, forensics, ballistics and avionics just to name a few. The book looks at different gadgets used in the James Bond series and uses science principles to prove whether these gadgets are fiction or could actually be fact. It also includes historical backgrounds to gadgets and plots from the movie. Very fascinating.

I played boxing on Wii Sports and decided to get right into it. I threw punches like I meant it to hurt the person. I actually worked up a sweat! After I did that for a while, I played the training boxing and baseball games.

After dinner, Dad, Stephen and I went to my aunty's house to use her pool. It was nice to swim after a hot day.

Lauren just called me. I'm going over her house for a party on Saturday. Should be good!

I was feeling so anxious for my Applicable mark. I felt so nervous because I had a feeling I was going to fail it. To see the 51% on my paper made me feel so happy. I had passed the course. Even though it is not the greatest grade in the world (C), it is the best that I can do because maths is my weakest area. I just hope that I will be able to pass my TEE and with great study, I should.

I had my Aunty and my Nanna come over today so that they could see the photos from their Esperance/Kalgoorlie holiday. Some of the pictures were so beautiful and they were taken with our camera!

After they left, my uncle, cousin, his girlfriend and their baby Joshua came over, so that they could do their tax returns on the internet and Dad could help them. Joshua had a keen interest in Missy and loved looking at her.

I just finished watching the James Bond film The World is Not Enough. It is one of my favourites next to GoldenEye. I love it how women are becoming more involved in the movie; not for their sex appeal but for their intelligence.

Signing off.
