Speckled Green

It’s been a week since I last posted here… Nothing much has been happening, really. We got a common tests back last week. I definately only got 55/64 (or 85.9375%) which is ok, but I think I could’ve done alot better, as the test was easy. Only person in my class to get 10/10 in the multi-choice, though!!

As we draw closer to the end of the first term, I just look back and see how much different this year feels to last year (electives make life so much more interesting in school) and how we (well, most of us) have got less homework than last year, but more assignments. My mum said that that’s alot like 2nd year of uni…. It’s a bit lonely being seperated from my old friends from most of my classes. But the classes have forced me to make new friends when normally I would be really lazy and slow and not make as many as quickly……

Being a leader in Soul Purpose is interesting, as you’re looked to by the yr 7s all the time…. and it’s odd being a leader of a bible study group of yr 9s when you’re in yr 9… least, that’s what Jeffery said! Once again I’m burying my head in a book that I’ve borrowed off someone or the library. I wonder what Bryan’s reaction to my book I’m reading this time will be… (he’s been saying everybook I’m reading is bad). Last week or 2 (i don’t know) of ice-skating for sport, then I’ll try for table tennis!! they only take the 1st 10 people from each grade with cash…

Then after the hols I have a band camp (yayzors, a weekend without homework!) and at the end of May we have our Yr 9 camp (I completely forgot about that!). I’ve decided to do Duke of Ed this year… I wonder how it’ll go. This week’s flute ensemble rehershal was odd. At band in the morning, Mark told us flute ensmbler’s (there’s only me in the concert band who’se in the flute ensmble… Mark doesn’t know that though !!) that Renee said she’ll be a bit late to the practice, and then afterband, Renee comes in to tell me about how she will be doing this and that with her son, should be quick, and that if she’s late don’t worry, just get warmed up and tell the others…. half way through that convo, Mark wispered to me to tell her after all that that he’s already told us, which put a grin on my face, which then made Renee suspicous and made the whole ordeal twice as long as it would’ve been….. but it was still funny!!!!!

Anyways, when it did come around to flute ensemble in the afternoon, Sandra couldn’t come because she wouldn’t be able to get home (although Yusung (is that how his name is spelt??) wondered why she couldn’t just catch a bus or walk or something), Dinusha forgot her flute, and Cheritha had other things to attend to. So that left only Yusung, Isabella and I to wait while Renee was kept back for all reasons (unlucky for her). Really boring waiting for half an hour with nothing to do.

Anyways…. after that long story, I also have to decided whether or not I should/want to go on the concert/stage band tour (the note says that we SHOULD go… but that’s just the band people saying their normal everyone is involved thingo…), and I have to remember to get practice copies of music I might need (you know, to practice… If I’m to sound like I really want to be in that band, I’d better start practicing now, rater than writing this really long blog).

Another thing to mention: last week I decided to go with the Youth Group at the Hills Salvos to Luna park. I’ve never bothered to go to Luna Park before, so this was a wonderfully weird time for me (and I suppose for my brother as well). I went on the second rollercoaster in my life (and was fearful of my glasses coming off over the crests…) went on a few spining rides, and talked to my brother about the exuberant prices of the drinks and food there (I was smart enough to NOT buy anything there). It was a fun night, and I didn’t get to bed till 11 (pm)… which was bad as I needed the sleep to stay awake for my piano lesson the next morning!!!!
