Human Biology - TEE Exam 4

Today was my last exam and I have to say that it was the easiest of the four. The paper was so short, that I could have left half an hour early, but I spend my time writing very thorough extended answers. Lots of people were leaving this exam early and I don't blame them.

Lauren drove Chantelle, Emily and I back to Emily's place to hang out. We snacked on chocolate and lollies while playing 13 and Jim Rummy and chatting about various things. Chantelle then left at about 2 or 3. I then taught Lauren and Emily how to play Euchre. After playing that, Lauren left and Emily and I sat around and chatted.

I got picked up at around 5 and Dad and I went to the shops. We ran into Kara, who works at the Bakery there.

A nice lazy day and NO MORE EXAMS AND SCHOOL!

Signing off.

Crowded

Not much to report on today.

The Human Biology test was so hard, that I didn't get to finish it. Some of the questions didn't have answers which we could have studied in our books.

I got my English essay that I did yesterday back and I got a 6H (80%). I thought I did bad. I said that when I did my Ten Canoes essay and I got a 7F.

At lunch I taught Martin how to play Jim Rummy. Everybody is addicted to that game now.

The bus came late after school, so it was packed with JSR students. When the bus came to my stop, it nearly drove off without me getting off because I was trying to get off, but there were people standing in the aisles because it was packed and the fact that I was holding my giant Art folio didn't help me to try and get off this crowded bus.

The Looping Technique

Listening to My Confession by Josh Groban

I started off the day learning about esters in Chemistry and how they are formed.

In art, I began to make a copper wire bracelet with beads. The technique was to curl four wires separately, add bead to the loops and join the loops together. I created mine more tightly curled compared to the other people in my class, I am going to make it that the loops will be on one side of the bracelet and have the four pieces of wire to form a straight band which links to the loop I created.

In Religion, we took notes on the beatitudes of Jesus which we will need for our upcoming in-class essay we will be writing in two weeks time. I have never heard of beatitudes before and I find them quite interesting, because if you do a particular something, God will give you this.

In my free period, I taught people how to play Jim Rummy.

In English, I had an in-class essay where I had to write about two images. The question that we were given I found quite difficult to write on, even though I wrote two and a bit pages.

In Human Biology, we got our Assignments back. Mr Franchina hasn't finished marking the last question, but with the marks I do have, I'm on 76%.

I got home and tried to do my Applicable homework but I didn't understand it so I went on to study for my Human Biology test tomorrow.

We have bought a treadmill. We tried putting Missy on it, but she wouldn't walk. She just moved right off the back of it and it was only going at 1km/hour. I guess she was just scared.
