arrrrrr me hearties! thank you for all the amazing feedback from my last post :) i've been swamped with homework this and assignments that and as most of you are from year 11, i'm sure you feel my pain!
it's such a big transition from year 10 to the senior school. you know how there's always people that tell you, "bludge year 7-11, then start studying in year 12, none of it counts"? well i've never went by that. every year i'd put in my best. and even if it didnt count for anything, i dont ever think i would've been able to live with myself knowing i actually flunked science because i didnt study, not because i'm just dumb when it comes to science. (44% in year 9 half yearlies, yo. then 88% in yearlies and mr geerling and peck were so so so damn impressed with me and gave me the best report ever, yeeeeeee-ha!) so all you junior kids, study hard! it'll also be good practise and a good way to find out which studying techniques work best for you :) and dont hang around my sister. she said, "when i grow up i want to be a dancer." she's a bad influence.
if my arms would allow it, i'd grab all of you and hug you till your eyeballs start popping out. those of you who saw me looking horrible last friday! you all treated me with such care and kindness. so many tissues and hugs were given and each and every one made me feel that tiny bit better. even the hugs with boob grazing. margaret started crying when she saw me and then we both just hugged each other and i got her dress collar all wet. and mariel ran up to me and gave me a hug and simon chau tapped me on the shoulder in the canteen line and asked me if i wanted to talk about things. so many of you gave me a shoulder to weep on, stood infront of me so others wouldn't be able to see my grotesque face and nurtured me like my feelings were egg yolk and i was the egg shell. sending all my love love love from the bottom of my heart, thanks guys! ♥
saturday was a hectic day. 8:20-10AM was math with thầy trường then had to rush to the train station and catch train up to hurlstone for market day performance, scheduled to be at 10:40 but got pushed to 11 :( so we just basically waited around and practised. microphones broke, the amp started screeching and nobody listened. but the stalls looked rather cute, i just didnt have time to check any of them out because had to rush back to glenfield, hop on train to fairfield and drive to canley for english tutor from 11:30-1! was late, got there at 12. then 3-4 was piano. my saturdays are usually busy but this one was such a blur!
today, however, was a fantabulous day.
first of all, happy birthday danica! i leeched off your feeling of fuzziness and felt rather contented by all the post it notes around the school declaring the anniversary of your birth. so thank you for that.
secondly, mr dillon's last day today! our class prepared a present for him but not everyone had signed the card yet and we had math with him in 2nd period! thus, the lesson become 'mission impossible' [cue music]. passing the huge gigantic novelty card under desks and between legs, accompanied by shouting whispers. the funniest stage in mission was no doubt trying to get julia to sign the card. she sits on the front left corner of the room which is pretty close to mr dillon as he is writing and explaining stuff on the whiteboard. as he turned his back to rationalise some more surds, julia caught my attention with her waving arms and this is what i gathered from reading her lips: "wendy! wendy! ask him a question, distract him so i can sign the card". i immediately tapped margaret and asked what to do. margaret's hand instantly shot up and asked sir to come help her with a question she apparently can't do... she pointed to a question she had already done, solved and solved correctly. "oops. i meant... uh. this one here!" margaret said as she pointed to another question. all the while, julia was signing the card and i was trying not to laugh too loudly. sir kept directing looks towards me, most of which seemed to say, "shut the hell up". as much as i could infer anyway. margaret couldn't distract him for too long before he returned back to the board so we had to somehow overcome this obstacle that is present in our path to glory. and success!!!!!!!!!! so i chucked a note to genevieve asking her to ask a question considering she was on the right back corner of the room. this was successful. julia signed the card. mission accomplished! then there was the matter of transporting the card to margaret and i.. but that's a story for my deathbed.
thirdly, mock trial! woooot. it was our first round today and first time for me to actually watch a mock trial. and let me tell you, it was so much fun! 10 people in the team, 6 positions per round so 4 reserves. i was reserve solicitor for this round and not participating but being able to watch and make judgements on others was fun. i kid. reserve solicitor meant i actually got to go through notes and stuff with the team. jordan kerr was reserve magistrate's clerk. basically, the magistrate's bitch's bitch hehe. the atmosphere was so intense and serious. having to stand up and bow to the magistrate, referring to him as 'your honour' if you had something to say. certainly a big step up from debating! (didnt mean that us, as reserves, kept quiet. we screamed objection to each other more than the barristers did.) just wish more of you could have been there with me. i'm the only person who catches the south line train home. probably cos i'm asian. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. and i sat behind this guy that smelt like perspiration mixed with mắm ruốc. and i was reading
dracula which just made everything more eerie. mr lynch gave me some mocha hot cross buns though hehehehe.
thank you to all faithful wendzilla readers. i promise to manage my time properly next week. it's k, i have a plan. it's nearly the weekends, so i'll talk to you guys soon! keep it real, homies. actually, let's all aspire to be like grace and be good asian girls. study. with
out the computer on. oh oh oh!
