End of Exams

Today was the last 2 days of my year 10 coursework with the conclusion on my exams. Overall i think that i have done pretty well across all my exams and was impressed with my 4 and half page history essay and the ease of the VET electrotech exam which was pretty much almost the same as the revision tests we were given. There was only one question that i wasnt 100% sure on but i still think i got it right. So now its 2 weeks hols, 1 week work experience and 2 weeks of a special maths and English program before yr 11 work commences.

Well today we started to get our timber floor redone so after having had to move the fridge and dishwasher, couches and dinner table the plywood that gets layed down first was done today and the timber which im pretty sure is greygum was also delivered which looks to be very nice. That will all get layed down over the next 2-3 days and then next week we have to move out for 3 nights for when it gets the gloss and coatings put on it because of the fumes but it should look good in the end.

Tomorrow im heading off to Ikea with my bro to hopefully get some cheap (and pain in the ass to put together furniture) furniture for when he moves to Darwin for work in about 2 months so its getting close now. Its good though coz i get to go up to Darwin in the xmas hols and in the middle of next year to visit which will be good.

Well thats about all for now

The final stretch

Well the end is near for year 10 with our end of academic year exams commencing tomorrow afternoon with English which should be overall a relatively easy exam but lots of writing its like 3 essays in 90mins. Luckily i get 2 days off during exams Tuesday will be good as it give me an opportunity to study between blocks of exams. House competition is also coming to an end with academics the last item for the Thomason shield where Sholto has the chance to take the lead and win over Rendall (we are smarter than them, arent we?)

After exams its 2 weeks of holidays then a week of work experience, im going to Computer Initiatives in Berwick which should be good as i get to go out on service calls and stuff like that. Then comes 2 weeks of a maths and english program then its straight  into Yr11 the Monday after APS aths where i hope we will have a decent cheer squad this year.

Its amazing how fast time goes especially at school. It seems like not long ago it was term 4B and i just started all my yr 10 subjects. This school year has been great with both Fame and Inheritance which were fantastic production.
