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...
