Well, I handed in my Food Tech Assignment on Friday after doing it all Thursday… I don’t expect that high of a mark, as the quality of my work was not that great and I didn’t quite answer the questions being asked, but nevertheless, I’ve got it done, and handed it in… Probably would have done something better had I spent more time on it. I also did an English Assessment at school Thursday. I’m pretty sure I kinda killed that, and so I would expect something like 8 or possibly 9 out of 15 for that thing. I got my maths test result on Friday also. I got a nice healthy 91%, so I’m happy with that =D. I procrastinated studying for that one…
I’ve been so lazy the past few days! The text above ^ was supposed to be published on Friday but I got so lazy, I just couldn’t be bothered. The weekend was fun, although it went by too quickly for me. I went to Daniel’s birthday party over the weekend. It was really fun, and I found it rather relaxing actually. I really like the night… Being near a beach, I spent some of the time just lying there, staring at the stars… It felt good, to be able to feel as though that there’s nothing wrong with your life even momentarily… It was very nostalgic… Too bad I can’t do it more often… Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to sleep on on any day of the weekend though :(…
Well, wasn’t it fun? The Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics came to a close yesterday, and now the boring TV shows return… I do look forward to new seasons of “Heroes”, “Prison Break” and “How I Met Your Mother” though. China finished on top of the medal tally by 15 gold medals over the United States. Australia finished 6th on the medal tally with 14 gold, 15 silver, and 17 bronze which makes a total of 46 medals all together. Although, if counting the tally by total medals, the US is first with 110 in total, China 2nd finishing on 100, and Australia would be placed 5th, leading Germany by 5, and behind Great Britain by 1. Now we wait for London, 2012, for the Games of the XXX Olympiad. As a result of the games being over, I change the header image back to the default one.
Hm, a fairly late night, last night. Stayed up till 3 in the morning today to watch the Opening Ceremony for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. If I remember correctly or something, the opening ceremony was the single, most watched television event in history. Wow. It was very nicely organised and presented. I don’t quite remember other opening ceremonies, so I don’t know if this was “the best ever”. The countdown was very interesting, and was certainly different from other opening ceremonies. I imagine it would have been rather difficult to get everything working in time, and it would have taken a lot of rehearsals to get the movements correct for the opening ceremony. Heh, funny thing is, I think that the lighting of the cauldron was a few minutes after midnight… For the next 16 day, of sports in smoggy Beijing and various other venues around China. Go Australia!
Anyway, remember when I borrowed that “Learn Japanese” book thing? Well yeah, I returned that on Thursday… Hm, it’s weird, yesterday, Sam and I bought two blocks of chocolate, (they were half price…) He chose milk, I went for dark. I prefer dark, don’t like milk that much, but it has to be more than 60% cocoa otherwise it’s just weird… I stayed away from the milk and I stuck with my own dark chocolate. I don’t actually eat that much chocolate, so I, along with Sam, shared the chocolate with some of my friends… Although, Daniel ate the most of mine, (I didn’t mind), and ate quite a bit of Sam’s… Now, it was weird… After a while, Sam couldn’t remember quite a few details that happened recently… Either he was faking it (which we all know he sometimes does/we don’t believe him) or it was temporary, as after a while he could remember things again… Today, I’ve been rather forgetful, either it really was the chocolate, or that I just didn’t get much sleep last night… Oh well, I’m sure it’ll pass by…
I cut a lot of paper squares yesterday, and I’ve folded quite a number of paper cranes recently… I wonder how much longer it’ll take until I get to 1000… Hehe, also yesterday, we made “spanakopita”, which pretty much means spinach pie in Greek. There wasn’t as much onion used in this recipe so the fumes that came from all onions being cooked on the stove wasn’t as bad as that time we made tomato soup… It wasn’t that bad of a recipe actually, unlike some of the recipes we’re given, although the recipe we were given didn’t make many triangles. =( I like the flaky texture of filo pastry, and the yummy saltiness of feta cheese… I wonder if we’ll do bruschetta or something next time, which reminds me, I’ve got a food tech assignment thingy due soon…
