It has been a rather slow week, generally uneventful in terms of the outside world. School, work… There’s been a lot going on in regards to politics here… But in terms of things that effect me directly, four maths tests spread over today, and the next few days. Should be fun.
I also received a to boxes from places I usually buy from. So more money down the drain…
I’m also trying to deal with a slightly shady Nigerian Buyer on eBay… O_o

Phew, been a busy week lately, and I haven’t had too much time to do blog posts or anything, so I’m a little behind…

So, first part of my Food Tech Assignment, was to decorate a Roulade. (My result is above) If you continue reading, you can see pictures of me making a small mess of the kitchen when I practiced the recipe at home. The Ice Cream began to melt upon presentation… and it was too tall… Stupid… “Bulla Creamy Classics”… Why do you taste so good?

A quick shot of my desk on the 29th of April. My desk is a mess with maths work, while I browse AmiAmi on my Archos…

Dead tired… I barely got that much sleep the night before… So, Martin gave me an Apple to try and wake me up…
I ended up taking photos of it as we were walking down from our maths rooms. And Nick ended up eating it…
Then Shannon brought a tube of Condensed Milk… Which she and a few others proceeded to add to stuff…
Yeah, not suitable for infants… Be aware of that…
Started the day with a good cup of coffee and a school video camera!
Did some good “Taste Testing” in Food Tech today, and is what today’s photolog will be about.
It’s part on our study of “Food Quality”

So, since we had finished school earlier than normal, I payed a trip up to our music rooms to “hang out” a bit, and where Leon, Martin, Alex and Nick did some band practise using the school’s facilities. They wanted the song they were trying to play in the background.
Then, after school, Leon’s place.
His home has become somewhat familiar to me now, having been there quite a few times recently, for our “Sleek Geek” video… Which is progressing slowly…
Okay, before I continue doing my History, Science and Food Tech homework, I have a few things to say:
EPISODE ONE OF HIGURASHI REI WAS FREAKIN’ AWESOME!!! Although it was plotless and had virtually no seriousness whatsoever, it was OMG HILARIOUS! Still awaiting WinD for fansubs so I can actually understand what they’re saying.
THE AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR IS TOO WEAK! I’m still trying to buy the Higurashi manga series, but buying from the US at this moment is too expensive.
WORK IS ANNOYING. (Expect a ramble about work soon…) Haha, although if I do a ramble, I’ll get fired! 😛 (As in, that whole “fired because of Facebook” incident)
I WANT MY ZEN’S RIGHT BUTTON TO WORK!!! It’s been playing up on me for a long while now. I’ve dropped it 15 too many times… Probably the reason why the right button doesn’t work.
ALBUM ART FOR ID3 TAGS ARE A PAIN! I’ve been trying to get my mp3 players to respond to album art in the ID3 Tag. I spent most of last night trying to get them work and finally reached success.
Anyway, apart from that, things have been kind of uninteresting I think… I’ve been doing way too much “looking for new, shiny mp3 player” browsing for my own good, but that’s beside the point. Well, with March now here, we’re in Autumn! So what’s happening this March? Let’s do some countdowns like I did with February! (I’m going to cheat and go into early April… Hope you don’t mind =P)
> 2 Days before a small History test – Doesn’t go towards anything I don’t think
> Between 8 and 13 Days before my Science Assignment of Genetically Modified Food is due.
> 9 Days before my first Maths Assessment.
> 11 Days before my “Gasket” Drawing for Graphics Tech is due.
> Also 11 Days before my second Maths Assessment.
> 18 Days before my Food Tech Assignment on Fair Trade is due.
> 15 Days before we do our first English Assesment Task
> Between 22 and 26 Days before History topic test.
> 24 Days before the release of the second episode of Higurashi no naku koro ni Rei!
> Between 29 and 41 Days before a PDHPE research assignment???
> 30 Days before our excursion to Tasmania!
> 31 Days before my “Dart” Drawing is due for Graphics Tech.
> 34 Days before the release of Higurashi Rei’s Opening Theme!
> Between 36 and 41 Days before English Assessment task.
> 36 Days before my Science Topic Test.
Now, most of the assessment tasks are according to our “Assessment Procedures” booklet but um… Yeah, looks like a fun-filled work-filled month of boring uninteresting junk… The reason I have two maths assessments is because I’m doing an accelerated course by the way… Well anyway, guess I should be getting back to work…
Although school technically finishes on Friday, I’ve decided not to go to school for the rest of the week mainly because I’ve got my report now, and also because once at school, we won’t be doing any work so it’d be almost pointless, and also because I don’t want to see my way over eccentric science teacher again! He’s scary and all he tells us to do is write mind maps! I hope I don’t have him next year! Although, Karma or some powerful force will most likely make him my science teacher for next year… =( I’ve never really had a good science teacher before… But since school’s over for me, I’ll try and enjoy the next 6 or so weeks without school! =) Sleep! =D=D=D The rest of my blog post will be about my year’s and my report card results. So, some of you may not care about this…
Haha! My report is somewhat decent for my standards! For once I got marks above 90% for something! As expected, my mark for English isn’t that great, and neither was my History mark. Science, relatively speaking, class-wise, I didn’t do to bad… Our class’s highest mark was 85% (Daniel got that), which was the class average for most of the other classes… We had five different teachers for science this year! Heh. History was also a poor result from our class with the average being only 70%. Our school is seemingly rather not very good at Maths or English with the yearly average for those subjects round about 72%.
So what did I get? I’m sure none of you are that interested but whatever. 72% for English, (round the average, which was expected) 93% for Maths, (w00t! Good marks! =D) 78% for Science and 73% for history. What surprises me the most, are my marks for my electives! From a class of 10, the Graphics Tech average mark was 83%, and I got 95%. Food Tech theory is damn boring, but for some reason, it almost looks like I payed attention in class and I got 91% (HA! TAKE THAT FOOD TECH BUDDY NICK!). Hehehe! Well, wasn’t this year fun? Wonder how badly I’ll do next year…
Okay, my fault. I haven’t really posted something in my blog for a while. Not Freehostia’s fault this time, just me being lazy. Although thing is, apparently, I’m smart at maths. After getting results for my yearly maths test last week, I scored 91% which apparently placed my 10th in the year for that test. Should bring my yearly report mark for maths up quite a bit. Fun huh? Meanwhile, my graphics tech test result was 19 out of 20 putting my semester mark to 95, although my year mark is 88 I think, which I believe would place me 2nd in a class of 10… Eheh. Eitherway, it apparently shows that I’m smart according to Will… Hehe…
 Take a look at the gingerbread house that we’re making in Food Tech now! That’s it today. I had to repair it after one of the walls fell in, which meant that I had to take the roof off in order to get that wall out, which meant I needed to do some DIY Home Improvement, and just like the show, I failed to construct it again properly… The cement icing thing (Plaster of Paris it’s called I think but I don’t know anything so whatever…) So I shall be decorating it and filling up all the holes on it with lollies and all that kind of sugary junk that makes people fat and all that… Plus using the icing to cover up the major fixable mistakes while eating a lot of it… Food Tech is so much fun…
Haha, Did you know that people from Yemen are called Yemeni? Hehe, Daniel and Thomas are heading to Hong Kong on Thursday for a week or so on some school excursion thing. They’re flying QANTAS! Muahahahahahahehehehe! Well, at least they get a little taste of Qantas on an overseas flight. Grrr… I want to go to Hong Kong. They get to see the supposedly awesome new (relatively speaking) Chap Lap Kok Airport with all the planes and the plane shaped terminal. They also go to Disneyland and across the Harbour to the city of Macau. They also get to see all the awesome skyscrapers that line Hong Kong… Everyone seems to have gone on holidays some time or another! Nick (Not the Food Tech or Squiggley one) just came back from a trip round Europe, Thomas also went on holidays to Thailand recently, Daniel has been to Europe earlier in the year, then he’ll be spending next year in Germany. There are other people who I know are going on holidays some time soon as well but I can’t be bothered to list them… Grr…
