Updated Look

I went to school today to set up my artwork in the library. We put all of our jewellery into the glass cabinet which made it look so much better for some reason. I would have liked to see it the jewellery with the light one because my transparent beads would have looked so good.

I was supposed to go to my Human Biology seminar today, but I couldn't be bothered waiting another three hours before it was on. So I went home and ate Chinese food, then made my blog look the way it is. I love it. I had to get rid of all my widgets, so it took me a while to get them back on.

You'll probably notice a few different things.

I Love Jonathan Togo

I got to Chemistry this morning, panicking. Mr C had forgotten to put up the answers to the Chemistry assignment up on the web page and I was only hoping that it would get moved to tomorrow. When I walked in the door, everyone was huddled around the answers and Mr C apologised for not replying to the email I sent him as he only looked at them this morning. A few copies of the answers were handed out and people grouped around writing and trying to remember the answers for the validation. The class then asked if we could have the test tomorrow, seeing as we have finished the whole Chemistry course and we would be revising anyway. He agreed. To add onto my stress levels, the Organic Chemistry test is on Thursday, Friday being the only day with nothing on.

In art, I began to make the beaded necklace I designed. I have completed half of it, but it is going to be a little bit short. It took quite a while to do one section; put on a bead, crimp it, put on another but I should be done by tomorrow.

In my free period, we got our hands on some whiteboard markers and we started doing people's love compatibilities. This idea of fun was a big thing in primary school, and Diem and I were going back to the "good" old days. John and I got a low score of 20 something percent (which I recalculated to be 97% (blame Diem)) and we did all these funny ones. I told Diem about my obsession with left-handed guys and guns, so I did the test with Jonathan Togo from CSI: Miami and I got such a good score of 93%

Jonathan Togo - My left-handed love

(And don't ask me about the vest...it's horrible)

I had my English essay and even though the question was so easy I was lost for words! I ran out of time so I had to write really quickly, so I don't know if I made any sense.

Two Day

Listening to Tonight from West Side Story

I have just been rattling my brain with some Chemistry equations which I will need to know for my Chemistry lab validation tomorrow. I spent quite a while writing them into my calculator which I hope will be helpful. While doing the dishes afterwards, I was reflecting on my past two days, trying to remember what I did yesterday so I can writing it in today's blog. The reason I didn't write an entry yesterday was because Stephen left his S&E assignment to the last minute, even after the class was given an extension. So now I will try and remember everything...

Yesterday was not a good day for me. By the end of end of it, I felt like I wanted to explode. Chemistry was fine because we watched an interesting movie on polymers, but art was when it just started to go wrong. I had made a necklace pendant out of clay. Without thinking, I picked up my finished piece and squashed it like it was a normal piece of clay. Luckily, I didn't squash it too much and I was able to flatten it out again, but I has to get rid of all the cracks I had put into it.

At lunch, I began to feel sick. I didn't eat all of my lunch because of it. At the last period of the day, Human Biology, I felt like I was going to faint. We had to write notes from the book and I was unable to hold my pen properly and my writing was everywhere.

Today, was a better day for me, but I still didn't feel 100%. In Chemistry we when through empirical formulas. I started to do the question that was apart of my assignment while my friends who do Discrete were studying for the test around me.

In Human Biology, we continued writing the notes on the chapter and then we went through it.

In English, we were given an essay question and Ms Perks went through it. This is because we will be having an in-class viewing essay on Monday.

At recess, Emily brought out her box of broken lollipop (the giant one that she won last year at Mercy Day) to school again. I took a giant piece of it which I didn't finish til half way through my free period. Today Kelsey brought her Uno cards so we played that, while I tried to talk with the piece of lollipop in my mouth.

In Religion we continued to watch Shawshank Redemption.

At lunch, Hadassah played her first game of 13. She had learnt from watching us play. Beginners luck was on her side and she won.

In Art, we had to draw fruit. I was given an apple. I don't think I have done such a good drawing in a while now.

In Applicable, we got our EPW's back and for the first time this year I passed it! I got 67.3%!

That's about it...

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.

The Escort

Listening to (Exchange) by Massive Attack

Today was a more fulfilling today compared to the rest of the week. With the last Chemistry topic long gone, we practised naming and writing out the structural formulas of certain organic compounds which was quite enjoyable.

Religion was spent with the class listening to the rest of the class and their songs about freedom.

For English, we were going to do an essay question on viewing images and I had planned my essay on the questions she had already given us, but then she changed the question to one that had words I didn't understand. Once I found out what they meant, it was quite enjoyable to write seeing as I had a lot to say, but seeing as it was only a practise essay, lots of people were talking to it was hard to concentrate.

I had a double period of Applicable Maths, which we continued to work on the Poisson Distrubution chapter and I got quite a lot done seeing as I was talking quite a bit.

At lunch, Ms Perks called for me. I was thinking, "What have I done wrong?" but all she wanted Wilson and I to do was to escort two women to the Staff Room. I came to the conclusion that they were English teachers and that they were here for a meeting, most likely for moderating. They asked us questions about the school and they also asked if we were Prefects, seeing as we were escorting them. That made me feel important.

In Art we continued to make our jewellery.

In my free period, we played cards again, but in the library in front of the Year 10's who had to do their Religion Assignment research on the computers.

When I got home I watched two more episodes of CSI: Miami. "Slow Burn" was amazing. It was the second time that I saw Alexx and Eric nearly die from being caught in an Everglade fire. A very good episode.

Just Another Day...

Listening to Everywhen by Massive Attack

Not much happened today. In art, I drew designs of what I wanted my pendant to be and I also curled wire, which was quite fun.

My free Chemistry period involved us playing 13 for an hour instead of doing any work.

I got my in-class essay results back and I got a 6M (equivalent to 75%). That is the first level 6 I have received for an in-class essay and the first A grade I received all year in English. I was so suprised that I got such a high mark seeing as I thought I would have only got a level 5H at the most.

See? Not very interesting was it? Probably the most interesting part of the day was watching two more episodes of CSI: Miami and eatting cupcakes.
