School's out

Term 2 is over for another year and I'm thinking about what I'm going to do over the holidays. There's too many movies to watch and too many things to organise, such as work experience and community service.

To summarise this term, it was better than expected but also dissappointing. In some things, I could have done better. However, in some subjects, I really could have done a lot better. In other words, I sucked.

The community service place called after I sent them a letter 3 months ago. I'm still waiting for them to call back after I called them an hour ago.

Anyway, everybody have a good holiday.

The Social

After being all hyped up about the social, I conclude that it was a pointless waste of 3 hours. The music was good, but what did my friends do? Apart from 'looking for people' that I didn't know and hanging with random chicks, they 'Chillaxed' instead of being 'In da club'. If I go next year, I'm gonna make sure there's going to be more people there and that I'm not gonna get ditched. Anyway, hope you all had fun.

Ethnicities

I've come to a conclusion: there are many ethnic-within-ethnic groups at our school. Let's take a closer look at what I'm rambling on about.

You have Asians. However, within this group, you have the:

1. "Harkaw" I-breakdance-morning-noon-and-night-and-I-have-orange-hair-and-iPod AZN.
2. I-study-in-the-library-for-breakfast-lunch-and-tea Asians.
3. Last but not least, the miscellaneous ones that don't know where they belong.

Then you get the White Guys/Caucasians. These are:

1. The tallish "I-hit-my-head-on-the-train-door" man.
2. The exceedingly annoying "I-steal-your-blazer" tool.
3. The sporty ones ie. I try out for every sports team and make all of them.
4. And lastly, the ones that are library-space renters.

The third group is the Curries/Indians/Pakistanis/Sri Lankan. You get:

1. The "yo, wattup, I'm-black-in-case-you-haven't noticed" curry.
2. The exceptionally smart curries who seem not to study at all.
3. The curries that study a lot and end up where they started.
4. The sporty curries.

However, MHS, being a racially tolerant school, also has a mix of miscellaneous people, who are far too numerous (or far too few) to mention. Also I apologise to anti-hyphon activists.

Bored

Well, this is the period after exams when teachers don't want to do anything, like you, but try to anyway. It's the time when your so bored you can't play another round of Chinese Chess against Garyn. Or another game of Phoenix. Or do anything constructive. The list goes on and on... That's why I haven't blogged for ages. Because there is nothing to blog about.

Anyway, everybody, go to the social. You know you want to.

Fadish

This is totally unrelated to the title of this post, but I remember a couple of years back when I was on the Spirit of Tasmania (three guesses where I was going), when they announced that 'Eileen Dover' was to come to the reception. I don't know if it was coincidence or a prank, but I'm dead serious, that's what I heard.

Anyway, directly relating to the title of the post. I think that Bahn is possibly the most fadish person I have ever known. Yesterday, he revealed that he kept a pink stanley knife in his inside pocket. I mean, anyone worth half their weight in fashion magazines would know that pink is the 'in' colour. Talk about gangsta.

Exam stress

Sorry (or not) that I haven't been blogging for a while (Banh would by happy) but I've been struck by exam stress. I've got proof that it happens.

Yesterday, during our maths exam, a Year Nine kid who's supposed to be doing his Japanese exam picks up a maths paper and started reading it. Don't know why he did, but he got to about half way when Alexei walks in late (again) and asks about his paper. This then causes the stupid year 9 to go 'Oh, I have a maths paper'. This prompts everyone to call him a 'retard'. I mean, how can you not realise after all the warning signs (year 10, maths exam, doesn't look like Jap etc.)? Then again, maybe he thought it looked Jap. I dunno.

Exams are finally over. Stress has died down considerably, considering the fact that Gary Zhang was stressing over how many marks he lost in maths (probably none).

Oh yeah, contrary to popular belief, I did not make a blog because it is a so-called fad. That is a slanderous lie. Anyway, it's not a fad. Banh might want it to be to be cool...

On a low note, however, (who said you had to finish on a high note?), we lost form soccer. 3-0. Bahn (I shouldn't even mention him in this post) is going to get his knee caps shot.
