Tests and End of Term

So, yeah, today I had two tests, what a fun way to end the term! So we started off in Period 1 with a Maths Methods SAC on Matrices which was really easy...

So yeah, that was great (except for the fact I was stressing out thinking it was going to be hard). So then I go into the Maths test at the end of the day thinking it would be easier because of course you would think a VCE SAC would be harder than a Year 10 Maths Test but no, the Year 10 Maths test was way harder... many people are sure they failed (I'm certain I didn't but I know I didn't get 100% because I didn't get to answer all the questions) and so when the teacher said "5 minutes left" I was like this:

But I feel better knowing that hardly anyone in all the classes that did the test finished. Plus I finished by getting back our Maths Assignment which I got 100% on and I felt like:

Then we had end of term assembly which was basically just the principal making a "30 second" speech that ends up going for 5 minutes. Then some other stuff was said and a video montage of photos from the Athletics Carnival was shown. Then it was time to go and everyone just got up and stormed for the door as soon as the teacher said Year 10s exit from top exit and Year 9s exit from the bottom floor. She hadn't even finished saying it and the auditorium was half empty. The worst part was that I was near the front of the crowd and trying to get downstairs in a crowd pushing you is a nightmare and I tripped twice (luckily no one noticed!) but I finally managed to get to my locker, get my bags and head home. Now I felt like this:

So yeah. On unrelated news: I am now addicted to Dr Who. Also, getting up early tomorrow (on the first day of school holidays, grrr!) to be at the fire station (yeah I'm a CFA member [firefighter]) by 7am for the Good Friday Appeal. So if you live in Victoria, Australia and someone knocks on your door asking for donations to the Good Friday Appeal please donate generously. Though if they don't have a Good Friday Appeal Tin lock the door and call the Police. So yeah, there's nothing I'd rather do on my first day of holidays than knock on strangers' doors asking for money.

May the odds be ever in your favour, see you tomorrow!

Science and Keeping Young

Sorry for the late post today!

So, Science Science Science! I spent most of tonight actually completing an assignment on the TAC's Wipe off 5 Campaign and how it is effective where we had to incorporate our own data regarding reaction times, breaking distances and stopping distances. This was not as long as it could have been as our class had already handed in the assignment but the teacher found out that every other class got a rubric for the task but we hadn't which meant she gave us back our raw score based on the rubric and we had an extra week to complete our task via the rubric. This was great but now I am so SICK of the TAC and their "WIPE OFF 5" CAMPAIGN! It is a good campaign and it is quite interesting but this assignment ruined it for me. Anyway, I enjoyed doing it and now it is 10pm and I am writing this post quickly before going to bed. The worst part with this is that we had to submit it using this online thing called eWorkspace and the Dropbox (but don't worry about what that is if you don't know) but of course it wasn't submitting the document so now I'll have to do it tomorrow morning before class. Anyway, glad that is over.

On the way home from my Methods Tutoring we drove past a park that was empty except for this one old man. Normally I would just be like "Ok, what else is going on?" but it was what this guy was doing that attracted my attention. This elderly man in the deserted park was atop of the slide after climbing up the steps and was about to go down the slide. I didn't get to see if he actually went down the slide because we passed it pretty quickly but that was still the highlight of my day! I mean, my Dad thought I was cracking it because I couldn't stop laughing... Anyway, I guess that must have made him feel young but imagine that, an elderly citizen enjoying a ride on the slide at the park.

Well that is it for today because I have to go to bed.

May the odds be ever in your favour, see you tomorrow.
