Speckled Green

I am going to say this quickly, as I don’t know how much time I have available to me.

I’m not going to be blogging much for the foreseeable future, as my mum has restricted my use of the computer (for good reason I guess). So, until I get myself an iPod Touch or the Nokia X6 or Nokia 5800, I’m not really gonna have much chance to properly blog.

So, as a quick update: Exam timetables are up!! Now I’m really starting to worry about how much I’m studying… I need to finish a prac. essay for English, and I haven’t done any homework for maths recently (been busy trying to practise piano while doing every other subject’s homework stuff…). I should probably write up a summary for Maths, rather than Phys and Chem, seeing as the sciences already gave us the Keep It Simple Science notes…

So, yeah. TTFN, Ta Ta For Now!! (But not for too long, I hope!)

Just because Niro said so, and because I actually feel like it, AN UPDATE HAS ARRIVED!

So, just a small recap of the past week or two. Last week Friday, Deva broke his white-out and spilt some on his pants, near his crotch, in science (Last period). He was rather self-consious of it… Week has been seemingly or relatively uneventful. Walking this week was different. It was drizzling half the time, but we still went out walking. Didn’t get to stop at any shops. Read more »

Officially the 150th post published on this blog. And what is it about? It’s about me complaining about my horrible horrible performance in the recent exams, but on a happier note: THE EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER!!!!! Just the IST topic test to do…

BUT NOW YEAR 9 OF BAULKHAM HILLS HIGH SCHOOL IS FREE OF THEIR MAJOR EXAMS!!! YAY!!! Read more »

Ohk, so 3 exams down, 3 to go… at least I can count. Maths, Commerce and PDM to go…

Just got my new Piano exam book today. The new series 16 book. It costs $59.95!!!!!!! Oh well. The cover is definately nice. I wonder if the pieces in it are good…. Of cause, this means that I am now officially starting my Eighth Grade Piano Exam (or, at least am preparing for it). I’m already predicting that I’ll do terribly in it… But before I get to the hour long exam for that, I need to actually do my 4th grade theory exam.

Fernand Leger is an annoying French guy that we have to know about for PDM. Commerce with Dumas has taught me that I should pay 100% attention to the stuff we’re supposed to learn and not the jokes and sidetrack stuff that happens. Maths has taught me that I will never ever master any of it. That was random.

Old day. History exam today. Felt I went alright. IST was kinda boring, except that I showed Kevin Zhu how Alienware Laptops are THE BEST… at a price. Commerce was boring work, maths was tiring and we spent the last 15 minutes revising graphs. English… oh well, we put up a good fight against Mrs Ingersol’s class, and I feel the main reason they did so well was because of Deva, but their other speakers were also good. We just weren’t good enough to beat them. Congrats to Niro, Deva, Lenny and Derga for their win, and congrats to Celia, Oliver, Ilona, Sid and Lawerence for coming up with great arguments and debating (Lawerence was back-up…).

Wonderful storm this evening, wasn’t it? I like watching the lightning strikes… they look so magnificent. And the thunder is a great sound after watching the lightshow…

stupid moronic retarded idiotic imbecile that is a student at our school!!! Why’d he have to unplug the the LAN cable and switch off the computer in C4 during commerce today?! Read more »

Yet nowhere. I’m actually getting somewhere with my new theme. I’m slowly writing out all the CSS properties for it (there’s so many things I have to make sure a right……), and I’ve got the HTML & PHP sorted out pretty much. Then I’ve got to add the graphics to it…

Meanwhile, my studying for the yearlies is horrible. I get so bored having to study, maths is killing my mind, and science is annoying to study for this year. Geo I’ve got no hope, just gotta read through what we did in class (not that much recently though…). History… I might get an alright mark, but government controls?! We haven’t done much on them, and I was away for the censorship… time to use my own knowledge again…

Commerce should be OK… I hope I was listening in class, because we certainly didn’t learn anything from what we wrote down. PDM… meh, I can cope with it being a bad mark. I just hope she doesn’t ask us to base it off some research task we were supposed to have done, then again, she never gave us one =].

IST, well, dunno about that. I’m gonna get a horrible mark for the homework, as I haven’t been bothered to upload it (or type it up). I should do that asap..  I wonder how I’ll go for PD/H/PE… or english…

That I’ve finally done my piano exam and managed to get a B+ somehow. I felt like I was going to get like a C+… When I’ve got the original copy of my exam remarks off my teacher, I’ll see whether the examiner thought I was good or not..

Ohk, so, I haven’t yet mentioned it on my blog. Ms Sweeny’s class debating team is as follows: Oliver, Ilona, Antony, Celia, and as back-up, Sid.

When she announced that, we weren’t surprised with Oliver and Ilona (“They are the obvious choices”) but ME?! Everyone else in the class was excellent, and I managed to be picked out of all of them? I was like one of two people in the class who didn’t put up their hand when Ms Sweeny asked who was interested in being on the team… oh well. I’ll just have to actually try now.

Wonder if it’s gonna rain tomorrow for the 3rd week in a row…

I capped my internet, just when I need to finish my science assignment… well, actually, I capped it on Friday afternoon I think… but I hadn’t noticed till yesterday (when I actually started to surf the web). Now the only websites that load quickly are the homepage for Google, and my blog (Google Gears is a wonderful tool!!).

Anyhows, finishing this science assignment is going to be slightly harder than I though. Namely the making it into a ‘lesson’ my group can easily do…

Getting ready to fail my piano exam on Tuesday. My mum, being the hard studying Uni student that she’s become again, doesn’t want to have to go to school half-way through the day and have to write a note for me, so, I won’t be going to school on Tuesday. You might say that’s good, but for me, it means I’m concentrating on how terrible I might do in my exam all day…. without the distractions of school life… I think I’ll also do some extra study that day. My brother has his clarinet exam on Saturday. He seems to be fine. Why am I so nervous? probably because I’m so lacking in GK and aural skills.

For all us people who have exams looming ahead of them. Next week the yr 7s and 8s have their yearlies, and the week after, us yr 9s will be sitting them as well…             I’M NOT READY FOR THEM!!!

Anyhows, I reckon I’m gonna do terribly for my piano exam on Tuesday. There is no chance I’m gonna get an A.. or a B+… unless I’m really lucky, and get amazingly better with my GK and aural… I could probably fluke aural though…

I should probably start doing proper work on that science assignment due next week, and not just reading through pages on the internet vaguely related to it (how does a quasar relate to a satellite?)
