well, i thought that it had been a while since i last made a blog post (since may, i think) so i better make a new one about my life up to date since may... because you are all so very imnterested in my life, and have nothing better to do then read about what i've done in the last 5 months.
well, first, doug- remember that time when you told us about that crazy substitute teacher you had who told you all that the matrix was real? (this is going back about a year) we had the weirdest teacher a few weeks ago... we came into english, and to our delight, our usual teacher, with a mole attached to her eyebrow was not there, however she did leave the room with an unpleasant aroma. we all thought that it was some of her flowers smelling the place up so we threw them out the window, and about a week later she ended up replacing them anyeway... back to the story- the sub teacher started feelin nauseous, and she told us that. she was reading out definitions for us to write down, and she was up to number 8, and for some reason was unable to stop saying the words: number 8... number 8... number 8 ( kinda like in the simpsons) and then, she took a step out of the classroom and our class, being the attentative, well-behaved class that we are, were all talking quite loudly at the time when she left our classroiom, with all outr work stil in her hand, then we noticed that our substitute teacher had run away from our class with our work and most probably wasn't coming back... of course we blamed her disapearance on the nauseating smell rather than our bad behaviour...
on a lighter note, i had a project on sci-fi's to do in english since the middle of last term, and we only just finished it about 6 weeks ago, so we had been working on it for about 2-3 months. we had to choose a sci fi and make a review of the book, series or movie then do a textual analysis of one of the episodes (if it was a television series), finally we had to present a creative response to our class... i chose to do my assignment on firefly (cos it was the only sci-fi i own on dvd) and i did the review of ariel, which is my fave ep from the series, and for my creative response i decided to make a model of serenity and then put in ten opbjects inside the model and explain each one of them and their relevance to the class, each object represented a character from the series, except for the tenth object (cos there are only nine characters), which was a pair ob blue gloves, to represent the ep ariel which was my fave ep. the model of serenity wasn't exactly very good... probably only vaguely recognisable as the ship, but i think that the objects were all very good choices for the characters... lol, i am telling you all this because i loved this assignment more than any other assignment that i have ever done, and because it was probably the biggest assignment that i have done this year... and also, it's about FIREFLY!!! and it took up a big chunk of my life from the past 5 months.
my electives this semester are all heaps fun- i am doing psychology (which is very, very, very cool! you all have to do it, it is so fun!), photography (which i am crap at, and is slowly declining in value on the fave-subject-scale, but it is still immensely fun) and finally, Yoga and Pilates! i love doing the salute to the sun, and next term we get to do tai-chi, how cool is that? now i want to do self defence as well... but this is my last year in high school so i probably should've done it last year...
well, i think that there might've been something else that i wanted to talk about, but i can't remember, and you're all probably bored by now and are yelling at your monitors "when the hell will kev shut the frick up!!" so i am shutting up now.... only if you promise to reply to this blog post many, many times
other wise i will be back... and next time i might not shutup!

for us high school goes from year 7/8 to year ten, then year 11 and 12 make up college, then if we want a degree we go to university, i don't quite know how it goes with you guys, but i think that your high school goes up til year 12 right? so that means that you have to do year 12... for us we are allowed to drop out of school after the age of 14-and-nine-months, and you don't have to do year 11 and 12, lol. (also, you spelt genius wrong!
does all that make sense to you now?

I hate you. I have never been able to do anything really Buffy-related in school, except for drama class. Also, I have not even one elective this year
Also, I thought you were 15? You're already in your last year of high school? Are you some kind of grade-skipping genious?
