Badda-bing!

I really can't wait for the Olympics to be over! I miss my televison! But today was very exciting because the IQ box started finding shows again! Yay! Bones on Monday! Too good! Its Sweet's first episode I think!

I just spent the last hour and a half collating my Maths survey results. Super fun. Luckily I did it in pencil cos I kept missing one when I was collating (I realised later that one of them had fallen between the two feet seats)

Seeing as my good television has disappeared for the duration of the Olympics I've been ODing myself on the FOX8 Animation Domination and I have to say, 6 hours of continous cartoons is likely to turn your brain to mush. Mine's started dribbling out of my ears (but that might be from concentrating too hard)

I broke a mug today, Mum was NOT impressed. Not that it was my fault, WE NEED A COFFEE TABLE! Whatever. Her fault for giving me her mug. I only make myself coffee in our cheap and crappy mugs. 'Cause I'm smart, yo.

I think this blog has turned into a way to stay up while I try and study for a Maths exam tomorrow, but the problem is I'm blogging so ... no studying. Good on you, Sian! Maybe I should go to sleep and study in my free period tomorrow? Anyone want to go to school for me tomorrow? (this means YOU, Sarah!)

I got some of the best news EVER today! I was stressing over this Studies of religion assignment I have due on Friday and my SOR teacher comes into my homeroom and gives EVERYONE a TWO WEEK EXTENSION! Yeah, baby!

I'm rather tired.

I leave you with yawns and wishes of good television.

Exams

This blog is very, very, very, veryveryveryvery late. There, of course, is a terribly lame reason for this lateness. I like television and I have been avoiding the computer for television... Oh, well. '

I had half-yearly exams during the last two weeks of school. Yeah, setting us up for the HSC - GREAT! I had 8 exams to do: Music (Musicology), Music (Aural), Maths General, Studies of Religion II, Advanced English, Extension English, Legal Studies and Modern History.

I thought I did well in all of them (except Legal Studies - I didn't study for it) I was hoping for As or Bs in all of them (except Legal Studies for the above reason, but I thought I did better in some than I actually did.

Modern History, for example, I spent weeks making study cards that I cut up and covered in plastic. I made them about EVERYTHING we were going to need to know. EVERYTHING. I made 140 cards. It was a long and painful experience but I knew all of the answers. I sat down for the test and I didn't need any of it. All of my studying was worthless. I ended up only getting 51/80 for the test.

Advanced English sucked because Ms Mav marked mine and she's not very good at leaving comments so I don't know what I did wrong other than "not enough depth". I know its not an excuse but I was never taught how to properly write essays, ever. People think I have this advantage because of my English teacher mum, and that I have some amazing ability at English but they're wrong. I suck at English. I don't know how to punctuate correctly, I can't write essays, the only skill I have in English is that I write kick-ass speeches. Way to be humble.

Extension English I was proud of my 16/20, Its a high B, thats my second best score but I know, I KNOW, I dragged Iris down. Her speech was really good and deserved and A but we were marked in pairs which sucks because one partner will always be better than the other and the three best students in my class were dragged down, so, that sucks.

Music is the only subject I'm really really proud of. In my Viva Voca (Musicology Section) I topped my class (I got 20/20) and I also topped in the Aural section. So, suck on that Samantha.

So, to conclude, I pretty much am sucking at school.
