Never Enough Time

It's just been so rush-rush today. I've been everywhere and I've been working like crazy. I've got the Drama Journal finished (Call the Pope; it's a miracle!), but I've got a History assignment due on Friday. Luckily, it's only something like 2 pages, and these types of assignments don't require much thinking. Still, it's a lot of work. I am going to enjoy the weekend. If only because it means an escape from assessments and half-yearlies for the first time in weeks. And I know it's a late post, that was just because I ran overtime.

I woke up at 7 today, and promptly rushed around as fast as I could to get my post done before school. I finished it with 5 minutes to go, and at school, I gave Ebony 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail.' I decided she must see it. Everybody should (that means you, person reading this!). Anyway. Period 1 was Science, which was doing some work on binary. For some reason, I really like binary. I've been doing it for a while (my Dad used to be an electronic technician, so he used to show me stuff like that). By the end of the lesson, Robson was getting us to crack a binary code. Period 2 was Computer Maths, and get this: we actually went on the computers. And like I said yesterday: we went on Geometer's Sketchpad. We did some work on circles inside and outside of triangles. The latter was easy, the former was really hard, until Rawson gave us a hint. I then spent the rest of the lesson bludging around in Computer Maths.

Recess was handball with John and Eric. Well, for 5 minutes, before it became clear that the ball sucked. So for the rest of Recess, we played 13. Period 3 and 4 were Ag. We were drenching goats today, but as there was a mix-up with the paddocks, only half the class actually drenched them. I volunteered to be one of that half, but it ended up not being so. I already volunteered to do something else in Ag that class, and that ended up with me sinking a centimetre into a patch of mud with an audible 'squelch!' So for most of the class, I talked to Ebony (and finding out that she's dragged Oishi into the secret/question game). We played word association for a while, before that got repetitive and therefore boring. We also played the ESP game (with cards), and after a bit we played the secret/question game. It does kill time. Lunch was more 13.

Period 5 was English, which was doing some questions on 'Animal Farm,' which somehow degenerated into the government history of the Phillipines, and the shoe collection of (according to Wikipedia, thy information god) a dictator called Ferdinand Marcos's wife, Imelda (Wikipedia link provided). Period 6 was History, which was doing more work from the textbook. At this point, I'd like to thank Mrs Johnson for reminding me about the assignment due on Friday. Or I would, at a guess, be in big trouble. But I won't be. So I'm relieved. When the bell went, I raced to the library to get a book, because I had an orthodontist appointment.

We got to the orthodontist's around 3:30, with parking and what not. My appointment was at 3:30, so we (Mum and I) thought we were late. Oh, how wrong we were. We waited in the waiting room (dun dun dah!) for 20 minutes, just reading. The actual appointment took 3 minutes. Waiting in line to pay for it took 7 (I counted on my watch). So it took more than twice as long waiting to pay for the appointment than it did in the appointment. By the time I got home, it was 4:30. That's 1.5 hours I'm never getting back. When I got home, I worked and worked on my Drama Journal, expanding it, and realising I needed 5 pages instead of 4. Around 8:30, I'd finished. But I couldn't finish the post in time, so here I am.

And that was my Tuesday. There was never enough time. There wasn't enough time to do the Drama Journal and blog. To start the History assignment. And so on and so forth. Anyway.

The cursed journal is finished!,
