Assessments, Assignments

That was today. Assessments referring to the results of Science and Geo, and assignments referring to Drama and English. All in a day's work.

Before school, I blogged again, yes I know. I'm starting to realise that I don't have to finish my blog at night if I can't. I used to feel like I had to. I want to, but I don't have to. Anyway. Period 1 was Science, which was talking a little about electives, and getting our marks back. I got 31.5/35, which I think is pretty good. There were one or two questions that I think were marked a bit harshly, but I can sort of see why. So I'm good with that. Next was Geo, which was also getting our marks back. Now get this: I actually beat Ebony in something. Everything else (bar Science, in which we tied) she beat me at, even Maths (I blame Rawson and his 'teach-months-ahead-of-schedule' program.). I got 37/40, which is pretty good. Now all we need is English, but I'm not too optimistic about that. Hancock said he was actually imagining (now that I check the Wikipedia article, I say 'Well, crap.'). I just hope I explained my answer right. That seems to be the thing in English; it's all subjective. So explanation = good. I just hope my explanation is good.

Recess was the usual. Period 3 was English, which was listening to more of Macbeth. It sounds more and more like people reading from a script. It just doesn't seem real. And I've been to plays before. I went to 'Phantom of the Opera' last year (which was awesome, I might add.). That was convincing. This is not. But, I digress. Next was Maths, and as Mango was doing Cross Country, Ihsas and I had to share the teacher's textbook. The first half of the lesson was spent actually doing work, but the whole class just kinda degenerated for the last half. Come to think of it, I didn't really do anything. Just one of those bludgy periods. Lunch was as Lunches usually are; filled with cards. John, Kevin, Andy, Eric and I played for the whole thing, whereas Victor played until Ebony came. But at least they stayed.

Period 5 was Drama, and Kolodziej, Pradeepti and Rutherford were all at Debating. We had a sub, who let us all work on our assignment. It's still kinda hard though, when there is no Drama teacher around, and only 3 people from our group (Amy, Ebony, me) here. But thanks to an idea Pradeepti had and we expanded, we actually got some plot done. Hell, we got an idea we all agreed on. That's the best we've done. Hopefully we'll now get some lessons. My only problem now is the 4 to 5 page journal we have to do. And considering we've had something like two classes on the assignment so far, that could be a problem. So once the English thing is done, I'm going to go to the Drama journal I have on my computer and expand it. Considerably. Ah, how work is done. Getting back to the subject, I also listened to my iPod, and with me singing Queen songs out loud (I really have to stop doing that), Ebony got 3 songs stuck in her head, at the same time. How someone does that is beyond me. The songs were 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love,' 'Somebody to Love,' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' What I really want to know is how many can get stuck in there at the same time. Last was Commerce, in which this woman from the Commonwealth Bank came over to talk about spending, although what her speech really boiled down to was 'My high school, Auburn Girls, sucks' and 'Mobile phones.' And sometimes not even that last one. The most I can say of it was that it was a good waste of a period. That and her laptop was awesome. But that's about it.

At home, I did a bit of my English assessment, and then watched some TV while huddled under a blanket. It was freezing today. And it's only the first two weeks of winter. I want to get back to summer, when it's warm and it's holidays and it's Christmas and it's my birthday. And so on and so forth. But, I suppose it's nice to put the heater on or hide from the cold under a blanket. And here I am, actually on Thursday night, blogging. I'm getting back into the swing of things.

And as there are no comments, this is my closing paragraph. Although, things are sorta looking up. Assuming I can get a ticket to the social (and to the Britney Spears concert, with tickets being sold from July 3, hint hint), it'll be a nice break from everything. And something to blog about. That's one of the things I think about when I'm doing something at least vaguely interesting: 'At least it's something to blog about.'

I'm back to non-late posts, baby,
