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.

Tomorrow Never Comes Until It's Too Late

Listening to No W by Ministry

Today was my Chemistry test. Not too hard and not too easy, but quite good.

I felt like I was falling asleep in Human Biology again. It must be something about that room.

English consisted of us analysing the representations of gender in visual texts. In a Pepsi ad, Blair suggested that the picture had a sexual message to it, so the class was spilt in a battle of whether the woman in the picture was trying to be seductive or she angry. The discussion lasted for at least ten minutes.

The free period was again spent playing cards.

In religion, we had a man come out to talk about his life at a seminary. The talk was actually an hour spent asking him questions, some of which were not exactly appropriate. By the end of it, I noticed a lot of people were losing interest because it was mostly the guys in the front row asking the questions and the people in the back rows were unable to hear.

At lunch I was explaining to people what makes a fruit a fruit and they were so surprised to find out that a capsicum was a fruit. We were also discussing the unusual shortened versions of names that don't sound anything like the full name like Dick is short for Richard. We also tried to find a boys name that started with U. If anybody knows, please leave me a comment.
Art was spent with us picking out the beads we wanted to use for our jewellery piece and I started making a ring out of copper wire.

In Applicable Maths, we learnt about Poisson Distribution. Ms Vivian gave us another applet for our calculators which are so helpful and quick for finding the answers.

When I got home, I made my own copper wire ring whilst watching CSI: Miami. I have watched fourteen episodes so far.
