6 periods a normal day, I had 5 free periods today (:

So i'm gonna keep this one brief...so there's like 70 odd people in my year group, yr 11. Today all the people doing VET courses had to go on some excursion for some 'talk' which is like 55 our of the 70...so the remainder 15 which I was one of got the first 4 periods off for study/assessments/homework...So was good had 4 periods to sit on my laptop and 'try' to write my narrative...I got like 100 words down in some 4 hours?

So I said I had 5 free periods...well 4 down...I had Ancient history...which was actually enjoyable as per usual...Then the last which was another free...however this one was an actual in my timetable...This period I spent playing Age Of Empires 2...hadn't played it in a while so I thought I'd rekindle my past loves...hahaha

So this is just a brief update on my daily activities...hahaha...Hope I didn't bore you too much (:

I'll leave you with this picture taken in the year that was 2008...i believe I was in geography with Macdaddy (Mr MacAteer)...good times :S

That's pretty much my...life as it happens.

Catholic School's Week

I've neglected this blog...and i'm sorry...i guess I felt like nothing exciting has happened...but today wasn't too bad...we had a bunch of yr 6's from the surrounding primary school come in for the day...

My Ancient History class had been chosen to some activities which the groups...it was second period and my group consisting of Matt Keating, Laura Edstrom, Vetea Fachinni and myself.

We'd set up the classroom with a bunch of candles and cloth and closed all the blinds creating a really eerie atmosphere...Then after we let all the kids come in and take a seat we started...

As per usual something we didn't plan came up...which in this case was Mr Longo (that's not his full last name) asked us to give a quick little intro...so I just made something on the spot...asked a few questions and talked a bit about Ancient...

Anyways Laura was up first and she had to read the mummy's curse...she was great mad it really dramatic...however on little girl ruined it...At the end of the reading Laura asked them a rhetorical question 'true or fake?'...the little girl yells out "FAKE!"

After that I was up next...describing the mummification process...while Matt wrapped up a little kid in paper towel...i'll keep this brief...the kids had a few disgusted looks and a cringes hahaha

Vetea explained the next activity...which was colouring-in King Tut's masks and cutting them out...The templates which Mrs McManus worked so hard to create (: hahaha

I enjoyed helping out and running through this with the younger kids...makes me consider bein a teacher (:

anyways this post isn't up to my usual standards but what the hell...It wasn't really all that exciting...

that's my...life as it happens.
