Some Kind of Wonderful

Listening to Hard EBM by Sin

The Chemistry experiments we continued on with today were quite interesting. We had to add sodium to alcohols and they fizzled. The boys wanted to react sodium with water (Those who don't know, sodium reacts highly with water and in large amounts explodes) . We watched it fizzle onto top of the water, with it occasionally sparking. We had to put the alcohols into the organic waste beaker for safe disposal. When Kristina put the liquid in the beaker, the remaining sodium was on fire. The boys then wanted the left over sodium so they could react it some more. This time they did it in the fume cupboard, luckily, for this time it started smoking. Lauren and I, however, left the sodium in the bottom of our test tubes by accident and when Lauren went to wash them...fizzle!

In Human Biology, I got my test back, fully marked. I got 73%.

For Pastoral Care, Emily and I went to bring the recycling bin to the recycling area. Afterwards, I thought that we were supposed to be painting our banners for our valedictory mass but no one was at the art room. So I followed Emily and Catherine to go find Drew, but he was at mass so we couldn't just walk in. We went back to class, where I worked on Chemistry equations from the lab.

Candy came to school today and I saw her at recess. We talked about what was going on and it was a nice catch up.

We spent the two free periods playing cards.

At lunch, Martin was arguing with me saying that playing cards was not relaxing and just going on about it. I have learnt to ignore things that I don't want to hear now, so I just talked to Candy, Catherine and Janna.

In English, we did a quiz on the homework we were supposed to do (it was reading a worksheet on Ten Canoes) and I forgot about it completely. Luckily, most of the questions were directly from the movie so I was able to answer them.

In Maths, we just continued on with 21.1 and Diem explained really well how to work out the questions. Thank you!

Signing off.

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.
