St Margs Deb / Geog Field Trip

Well ive been pretty busy in between posts

On Saturday night I had the annual St Margaret’s Yr10 Deb Ball. The afternoon kicked off when we got to Bella’s house to have photos and about half a million photos later to catch the limo. The limo was pretty cool it was a stretch Ford LTD, one of the other groups had a stretch Ford Territory which was pretty cool. When we got to the venue we had a while to practice and refine our dances. That didn’t really help me and my partner Kim coz when we had to do them properly for the actual performance we screwed the waltz up at 2 or 3 different points but it was all in good fun. Other dances included the progressive jive, 3 step and samba. The main meal was ok but the deserts were pretty damn good I had a really nice orange cake. After we had finished the evening we had free reign of the dance floor and the DJ got going. We had an awsome time and then at about midnight we left to go to the after party which was being hosted by Kim. By this time some of us were pretty stuffed but still had a good time. It was a fantastic evening and I eventually got to bed at about 3 for some well earned sleep. Hopefully ill be able to post some photos of the evening soon.

Today, still tired from the deb, I had a geography field trip which started in Berwick so i got on the bus there and got to have a bit of a sleep in.  The whole purpose of the trip is about Human Environments and the green wedge and the rural urban fringe.  After starting at Berwick we moved onto Officer, Cardinia and Moorabbin. We then had lunch at south land and while we were there we saw Robert Harvey who is and AFL legend that plays for the mighty Saints. After lunch we went onto Toorak and looked at some of the massive mansions and then onto Docklands. We then made our way back to school in time to catch the early buses. It wasn’t too bad of a day and was better than having English and double Science.

Well thats about all I have to write for now and I’d better start some maths homework and my history outcome.

Until next time                - JD

House Performing Arts

Well today was house performing arts so from recess onwards I was helping set up some lights and stuff for that. I managed to get out of history(thanks to James, you legend it was so boring) and science in order to help but decided to go to maths in period 5. Performing arts kicked off at lunchtime with drama which was themed Monty Python which was pretty good but got boring towards the end. Sholto Black (my house came 2nd). Next up was house dance and there were some really crap ones like Castlefield and Rendall which hardly involved any form of dance at all. Sholto got jibbed in this as it was clearly better than most of the others but only managed a miserable 7th. There was also a heap of complaints about the projector screen and how people couldn’t read it and they wanted it fixed but its a bit had when whoever made the damn power point used a black background with dark font.  House music was a bit better and some houses were quite good Rendall’s song about Watto was good but I think Sholto was the best with our lead man Kog, we don’t find out the results until tomorrow but I think we will definitely be up there.

school and the undoable ‘wyatt knot’

Greetings,

Yet another boring day at school, double maths was funny as at the moment we are studying factorising and i was sitting next to jack and it was rather entertaining when he was unable to factorize the quadratic trinomials. I also had english, geog and science. and after lunch i had PE where we were in the weights room trying to build nice bulging biceps and then maths tute which is practically a spare.

At lunch in the hall we had to take down the bar that we use to hold up the cyc because we need it for house performing arts and Castlefield (thanks for the correction James) took our other bar. Iain and Christian had funny undoing their knots that held it up as it as known as the “Wyatt knot” and is a bitch and almost impossible to undo.

Tomorrow i have cross country relays at Coburg which will be a bit different. its a 4×4km race which should suit me a bit better than the usual 6km and from the looks of things Haileybury will have some pretty strong teams and be in medal contention.

Well thats all for today, - JD

Bday, school and forgetful teachers

Post #2

Well today was a bit different, it was my birthday. I didnt really want much in the way of present but i did get a new watch which is a nice Nike running one which will be very good and for both cross country, aths and casual running. Its really cool u can store 30 of your previous run times and then look as them later and compare, it also does intervals and many other things. I also got a tool kit which will be handy for my DIY and when i decide to “tinker” with things.

Today was a pretty normal day at school, although throughout my classes i received many birthday txt’s. Wednesdays are a crap day coz i have like every subject. Double english was pretty average so was science math and geog, but history and electrotech remained interesting. One funny thing that did happen was our maths teacher forgot she had class and was 40mins late. Maybe the marshal will give her lines or a Friday because he was going to chase her up about it. We also got the curtain back for the hall which had a tear put in it last week, unfortunately i wasn’t there to see it go back up but im sure it was had work as it weighs a ton.

Well anyway thats about it for now, until next time - JD

Welcome to my Blog

Ok so here we are, my new blog…

Considering ive just started my new blog im quite liking word press at the moment it seems to be pretty efficient with plenty of options and customization. Also it seems to be what most other people use and i can see why.

Well i guess i picked a pretty boring day for my first post it was pretty much just a normal day at school. I started the day with double electrotech which was pretty boring as the first lesson we spent on learning about fuses and circuit protection and the like, the in the 2nd period we did some more on PICAXE programming. After recess i had the ultimate bludge lessons, double history, we did absolutely nothing we just sat and talked about our VCE subjects and various random stuff. Next was assembly, another bludge, just sat in the bio box not caring what was going on but the legal skit was rather entertaining. Next was lunch then maths and geog where we did little to no work. So all in all a boring day at school but i cant complain coz i got no homework.

After school i had to skip cross country training because of an orthodontist appointment which was quick and easy, just a checkup, and i dont have to go back for another 9 months

Well thats pretty much my day hopefully in the future i will have some more interesting topics to write about
