First week of school...

the first week of school is finally over! i've pushed myself into a homework timetable...a minimum of 3 hours per night...how nerdy am i huh? but i guess its only for a year and then i'm on my way to freedom (not really)...i'm thinking of a gap year but...not really sure...maybe i should grap a few friends and travel...but then again, i want to go to uni ASAP...anyways...i'll deal with the future when it comes...well here's a summary for each of my classes during the first week...


ENGLISH: i've got a good english teacher this year...she makes school work fun and enjoyable...she showed us a powerpoint presentation of the english section of the NSW GAT results...she copied out a number of similes which were so halarious...for example: 'the ballerina lifted her leg high, as a dog would if it was standing next to a fire hydrant' and 'her vioce was throaty and genuine like a dog that is about to vomit'...the class cracked up laughing...me? i was practiacally pissing myself...


CHEMISTRY: ok...best chem teacher ever! i had him for methods last year but somehow he's kinda not that great at teaching it...for chem, he's like 'WHOA'...he has a great sense of humour eg. avogadro's number was mentioned one time and he said '6.02 x 10^23...it's a VERY big number with a lot of zeros, just like my bank account...everytime i go to the bank and the clerk checks my account, they always look back at me with newfound respect!' He also made a comparison between redox reactions and an executioner beheading people! how the hell does that work?


SPECIALIST: EWW! it's the first week and i'm hating it already...my teacher is nice and all but the annoying thing is that she goes through the work WAY too fast and she covers the whole board when she's writing something and by the time i can see, she's already written practically a whole book length of maths notes...since she's going on some camp next week, she made us so we can compensate for the times she'll be away...i was like 'my god! you really want to kill me!'


METHODS: another great teacher! the guy really cares for his students...and his method of teaching is so easy to understand...i don't really have much to say because his class doesn't have the amusing qualities of english or chemistry and it's not annoying like specialist...


PHYSICS: i have the same teacher for physics as last yearwhich is kinda annoying because he's not that great at teaching...i mean he's really, really nice and stuff but i don't think that teaching is his major...but he tries really hard and all...haha...on thursday, i came to class early with my friend and since we were the first ones to arrive i stood outside to see how long it took him to realise i was there...surprisingly, it didnt take as long as i assumed...maybe about 5 minutes? nah...it only took about 30 seconds...


SPARES: omg...i finally have spares in my timetable this year...last year i was doing a 3 & 4 subject so i had no spares...this year i've got 5 periods of spares...yipee!!! periods 3 + 4 on mondays, 4th period on wednesday and periods 5 + 6 on thursday...so i leave early at like 12:40 or something on thursdays...


NOTE: i think this is the longest post yet...

Where has my holiday gone? some additional funny stories included...

first day back to school today...i am officially a year 12 now...kinda weird to actually think about...knowing that this will be my last year of highschool and stuff is actually beginning to scare me a tad bit...oh yeah i have made a POLL so please VOTE...

heres a weird story...something that happened to me during the holidays ^_^


THE FCUK T-SHIRT

CHAPTER 1: PRICELINE CLERK

so i got this new black t-shirt from french connection (FCUK) and on the front of the top it says "no fcukin' worries"...so my cousin (jokre) and i went to the city one day...we went to priceline on swanston/bourke street and i went and bought an eyeliner...when we went to the cash register, the clerk guy looked at my top and says something on the lines of "no fu***** worries, hey?" jokre was like cracking up like mad and i'm thinking "what the fcuk?"...so the dude starts laughing along with jokre too...so i said "umm...its an anagram so its ok" and the guy (still laughing) replied "i know i know" and then again continues laughing.


CHAPTER 2: SUBWAY MAKING DUDE

it was at the richmond new years festival that this story began...once again i was wearing that black fcuk t-shirt...jokre and i were wandering victoria street and we felt hungry so we made our JOURNEY TO THE EAST (aka Victoria Gardens, which i dont even think is in the east)...jokre bought some sushi while i went with the fatty alternative, SUBWAY...so the subway making dude walks up to the counter, looks at my top and cracks up laughing (just like the priceline guy from chapter 1) jokre (as always) starts pissing herself laughing and wouldnt stop...the guy (still laughing along with jokre) asks me what i want in my sub...i tell him that i want meatballs with a bit of every salad/vegie stuff...i turn to my dying cousin and ask what else she wants in the sub (since we were going to share some)...she looks at me, her eyes full of laughing tears and says she doesnt like olives...the guy quickly made our sub and ask what sauce i want in it...i told him i dont want any and he was like "are you serious? you really dont want any sauce?" and i was like "well how about you recommend a sauce for me then" and the guy picks up a bottle and squirts some suace into the sub (i think it was honey soy)...i quickly paid the guy and pulled jokre away (the poor girl, she must really be dying by now)...while we were eating...(continue reading chapter three)


CHAPTER 3: THE SECURITY GUY

while we were eating...this security guy walks past our table and looks at my top with this look on his face that clearly says "what the fcuk?"...jokre who is on her way to recovery bursts out laughing again...i nearly slapped the fcuk out of her...

THE END
