it is done...

i've officially finished skool for about a week now.
i can officially make the statement that i USED to go to skool...

it's an amazing relief to know that u don't have to remember how to dialate or translate a graph... which i so happened to suck at... i now never have to learn an excercise i happened to miss in the course the night before an exam that i know there will be these questions on...
it's an amazing relief to know that i never have to sit in a classroom again wearing a uniform.

to have yr12 finished is a humungus relief, and load off my shoulders.
altho its also a bit sad, cos i have to leave all my friends in lower yr levels at skool.... and i wont see my boarding friends very often from now on... and to be honest, that hurts...

but now it's time to forget the stress, the tears, and the hardwork and to relax, and think of sweet nothing!!

Another one of anges nerdy theories....

well... i was wondering the other day.... probably while doing some chemistry study that why if water vaporises at 100 degrees why then don't we get burnt when water evaporates from our skin?????????

and thanks to the wonderful Robbie G i now know why...

it's because water doesn't have to evaporate at 100 degrees. as the particles move some jump above the surface of the water and evaporate...it's just that at 25 degrees we cant really see this....and it takes A LOT LONGER to do so....

so there's my random chem fact for today....
say W00T for chemistry!!! hehehehe

life's meaningless questions...

This has been a topic i have been pondering recently... it's probably my body's defence against all the information that i have been forcing myself into learning with exams and all that jazz...

my brother posed the question to me the other day and i've been asking people since.... are bubbles perfect spheres?????

and when does a hill become a mountain? Whats the difference b/w a big hill and a small mountain???

How long does it take for paint to dry????

At what rate does grass actually grow???

How slow does a snail actually travel???

zebra's.... are they black with white stripes, or white with black stripes???

how long is a giraffe's neck???

how many vending machines do u rekon there would be in France?

is chocolate better from Belgium?????

Has someone ever done a study on these sorts of things????
and all that funn stuff... i could sit here for ages coming up with meaningless questions...

Enjoy!

the ending of a chapter

Thursday was the marking of a historic moment..
Thursday saw the day that i finished with skool 4EVA!!!!!

It was the best day i'd had at school ever. not just cos it was my last day of classes for ever...but we felt valued and not just being taken for granted, that we actually made a contribution. People were signing shirts and messages of good luck and good will.

The feeling of joy we all shared was so relaxing. The whole day the atmosphere was great and happy.. there were grins on everyones faces...my classes were so relaxed and the teachers were proud of us... altho trying to get us to work on that day would have been really hopeless. my methods teacher announces as we go in... 'ok we're doing a practice exam...' what a way to burst our bubble.

altho double physics was great that day..... heheheheh i know... double physics... but when i tell u our teacher is JD an u know the guy, u'll understand completely.... lol....we were sposed to do a practise exam but i did all of 4-5 questions ALL lesson... heheheheh some members of our class turned up and mysteriously disappeared for a lesson of the double...... one guy turned up about 30mins late... with no explanation... hehehehhe and a few minutes later another randomly jumps up and says "i've got an idea!" and walks out, and they that turned up 30mins late jumps and and leaves with him.... they both didn't turn up until the second lesson of the double...
most of the time we just spent sining each others shirts and mucking around... it was great....

The last lesson of the day was spent just talking and waiting for the count down. my english teacher, gave us a little survival kit for the exam period....chocolate and herbal tea n stuff.. it was great...just relaxing..and reflecting over the year. of the first classes we had and who they were with...

and the count down and doing grammar war cries, we were the largest mass of unified people i've seen..then as we left the skool my yr level did war cries all the way back to the house and then we did a war cry with the rest of my house..

That nite we (by that i mean the yr12's in our house.)got dressed up cos div n dyzie were taking us to geelong. That was really nice... We went to a beautiful restraunt. La Parisen on the waterfront in geelong. it was REALLY nice. The waitresses even draped the serviettes across our laps... it was awesome... i'd never been to such a fancy place.

We travelled to and from Geelong on one of the school buses with woodbridge. The other girls boarding house. it was a really fun night with great company...

it was a really good day.....

it's been a really intense year.... altho it's been a crap load of work, it's worth every penny. And HECK NO would i ever repeat it.

chem

i made a really lame chemistry joke today after a sac we had....
the best part is i didn't kno i had made the joke until after....

remember kiddies...

Chemistry is pHun.... ehehehehehe lol...

fire... literally...

some of u maybe aware that the ballarat grammar boarding community was on fire this past week... literally...
one of the girls boarding house caught fire... well anyway...
i haven't heard about how it started... but apparently there was at least one room that was burnt out... and part of the housemasters residence.... so yeah....

it was all a bit exciting... anyway... as usual we in the boarding arena took awesome care of those girls... the poor yr 7-9 girls woulda been a bit lost...
but all is slowly coming good... they have beds for the rest of they year. In fact i will have a rotating troup of yr9's that will be living next door to me in my boarding house for probably the rest of the year...

that's doesn't worry me tho... as long as they aren't yelling and screaming while i'm trying to study....


speaking of which i only have 2weeks of classes left 4EVA!!!!!!!!
i'm quite excited cos i'm sooo OVER school...

lucy this is for u.

remember...Happiness is powerpoints.. :)

accomplishments

W00T!!!!!! about 10mins ago i finished ALLL my set hwrk for physics..!!!! YAY!!!

for those of u who have undertaken physics will know how many hours work a design experiment can enslave you for...
so currently i'm taking a well earned break for a while and will continue a little later on.

a few events....

House Dinner

On the wateverth of september... the last day of term my boarding house had our house dinner.. This is a formal sit down dinner in which your parents come and meet others and speeches are made and stuff, to celebrate the year that was and to farewell and give a tribute to the year twelves...

I take off my hat to this years year11's!! they did an awesome job with organising house dinner. It was really awesome... The tribute they did to us yr12's was really sweet too..
the year11 wrote a little piece about us and gave as an 'award' of some kind....
LOVE YOU ANNIE AND VRON.....
I really liked the one they gave me... it was soooo sweet... there were some pretty bad pics of me on screen but the song they chose was kool. It was by Ronan Keating. "you say it best, when u say nothing at all"....

Halls Gap
At halls gap i lead on a youth camp for 5 days starting the day after house dinner.
Now that was AWESOME!!! i really loved it...
i got fuzzies from other campers saying that they wanted my to come back and lead again and wanting me to lead on the next camp in portland..
it really made it worthwhile when i had realised that i had helped these kids and made an impact without even realising it.
The week was definitely an experience... i can't say that i enjoyed getting up at 6:00am in the morning after only going to bed at about 11:00pm, especially the day we climbed the pinnacle. was a good walk... but i was slightly out of it that nite.. heheheh
The whole week was filled with good people, good company, good food, and good teachings! was very worth going.... i don't regret it!

Two joyous events that have been happening recently.

orange serviettes anyone?

This past wkend i attended my brothers engagement party. It was a lot of fun, good people good company and good food all wkend.

Anyway at the party were orange serviettes, and because i was bored i started ripping one into pieces. The other members of the table evenutally noticed and jokeingly asked if i was a little stressed or something... and proceeded to bag me out over it all...

Today i get to the end of classes for the day it seems never ending... I was doing practice exams for chemistry earlier and while attempting them it felt like i knew nothing at all. As well as this i realise that i have exams in 5 wks... i HAVE MOUNTAINS of hwrk to and so little time to do it all in. That's not including the revision i'm supposed to be starting. So while struggling to understand the concepts i'm being taught, completing assigned tasks so i can pass the subject i'm supposed to be revising and thinking towards exams, finding a job for the summer, universities.... well THAT is almost a story of it's own accord......, and i'm leading on a camp these holidays [don't get me wrong the camp is COMPLETELY worth going to and i don't regret the decision to attend...], and finiding time to have a break and be a social and resonably happy person.....

Anyone have an orange serviette they could lend me???????

yes i'm stressed... and to be honest i feel like crying......but to u i will seem to be perfectly fine....

don't you dare tell me 'surely it can't be that bad', or 'don't worry it's nearly finished', or 'it'll be alright'......
cos your wrong............

to me yes it is this bad and i know it's nearly over but that doesn't help me know does it??? and the response 'itll be alright' is a pathetic excuse for something to say... it completely glosses over the issue at hand........
those of u who haven't done VCE can't possibly understand the expectations, the pressure and how intense it truly is.... and those of u who have done VCE please remember and understand how u were at the end of year.....

I don't want your sympathy.... i just simply need for you to understand......and know that if u could keep me in your prayers i would be VERY grateful.......

people

why is it that some people have the ability of coming into your life and making u realise what u've been missing all within the space of 10mins???

They then leave you reeling with old memories and hopes that u recognize that mostly wont come true......

*sigh*

a thing i wrote

To not see… would be pleasant.
To not know… would be a gift.
To not feel… would be pleasure.
To not be…… would be heaven.

just a little thing i wrote... i know it's kinda depressing but i kinda like it...
wanted to share my "talents" with the world....

a blog from june......i call it anges theory of relativity

well....
for those of you who already know you can keep pondering but those of you who don't.... i give permission for you to think i'm a nerd... however i know for a fact despite all the evidence to the contrary i'm not.... hehehehe

my chem teacher was telling us the other day how scientists have been attempting to reach absolute zero temperature... meaning the lowest theoretically temperature that can be achieved, no particles moving. Many scientists have attempted but never achieved this nerdy feat....

however it is my theory that this absolute zero temperature is impossible to reach...

Now let me explain.....

One thing we are taught in science that temperature is a measure of how much the particles move? yes?

And we are all taught that EVERYTHING in this entire UNIVERSE is made up of atoms which consist of neutron, protons, and a couple electrons all depending on what element it is. and we all know these little electrons orbit the nucelues of neutrons and protons.

To reach absolute zero all particles would have to cease movement... but to cease movement for an atom... it would not exist. Therefore it is impossible to reach absolute zero temp.....

however this theory depends on assumed definitions.... that absolute zero is reaching a state where the particles cease movement.... and the movement of atoms are included in the definition of temperature...

so yes i admit that there are some faults in my theory... but just like all great minds.... they never got anything right the first time.....

a blog i wrote a good few weeks ago...

well anyway..... we were in physics today learning about how matter can have a wavelength and how light doesn't have a mass...

However i struggle to believe this theory. a) light exist in this world.. and to me for it to exist it has to have a mass... yeah??
yet here my physics teacher is telling me it has no mass yet it has a velocity, momentum and all this other stuff... which are related to mass mind you....

and also a fellow student raised the point about black holes....
if the black holes in space suck everything into it including light....it would have to have a mass... cos for gravity of the black hole to suck in the light, the light would need to have a mass.....yet here we are being taught it doesn't have a mass... hmmmm...


a tidbit to chew over in your mind......
ah well... those are my thoughts......

chorals

well now those of u who have attend grammar would know of our annual chorals competition... and yes it has come to that time of year once again when all the houses get together to belt out a tune...

we had our first rehersal tonite... was quite well done for the first time...

although it will be amusing as time wheres on... the actions and moves to out song could get a bit over the top... hehehehe but its all good... esp when people get rite into it....

whell anyway.... this blog is indeed not very exciting but to be honest there hasn't been alot to blog about recently.

i could tell u about our kitchenettes here in the boarding house... but i would want to ruin ur appetite.... they can get quite shall we say..... dishes all over the sink, not stacked or rinsed for those on the roster to wash them..... and thats the beggining.

well instead of boring who ever may be happening to read this i shall depart... and let u go and do more exciting and productive or valuable things with ur time....

nite..

recess

well currently i'm at recess... i was trying to drop box an assignment to one of my teachers but it's not working for me... so i'll have to print at lunch......

i've created this blog as i realised i kinda blog too much for myspace... so yeah i'll prolly regularly blog here instead.....

well i must go cos i have DOUBLE methods.... on friday too... so the next 2 hours are gunna be a killer......

anyway...

later dudes..
