Day You Come

Most listened: Series of Jami bootlegs from concerts in the Space Cowboy era

Current longing: Just a bit more relaxation

I’m gonna make this one fairly short as I am tired. I survived the week, my Chinese oral went alright, I was a bit nervous though. The IT assignment was delayed for another 2 weeks. Argh, never will get our drafts back. Pretty ridiculous, even more ridiculous is that we had 4 lessons to do the IT exam, 4 lessons! For a 2 lesson test. At least I am assured that I will get a high mark for it. My assignment is almost finished just need to make a few edits and finish up. We have 3 chinese mini tasks for holidays, each about 300 characters on a certain topic. We also had a Physics practical during the week so we have a write up for that. Oh and on the second to last day we were reminded of the oral presentation topic summary which we were supposively told about 3 weeks ago. So I had to do that on Friday. The maths studies exam went well. The week was rather rearranged I think. In any case its the holidays now so I should be happy. I have set myself plenty of revision of all Maths chapters, some Physics and Chinese. Oh and the afore mentioned assignments. That with a pile of goals that I have set myself, general, game, computer and graphics based goals. Mostly catching up in stuff like reading materials and getting some rest. Its great I have about 7hrs of 24 to watch, yay!

I hope that I haven’t set too much as I do need to rest this holidays. Maybe I’ll make my revision a bit lighter, still do it all but not as heavily as I’m expecting as I have a pretty good grasp of things.

It sounds weird but I don’t want to go out too much this holidays, I’m busy enough as it is with work, these planned subject days, Avcon, my birthday and the usual pile of events with friends. Well I’d love to go out heaps and plenty of great opportunities are arrising I just don’t wanna lose scope of the big picture.

The highlight of the week is when Chris and myself caught up with our schools Sace coordinator, he’s such a gun, wish that he taught us Physics this year. In any case together we determined our TER scores(yes I know this is contradictory of lasts week entry but I haven’t done it yet and he would be able to get a good idea). I am heading for an 88% TER score which doesn’t include scaling of subject which would most likely push it up a few pegs. Yay thats such a high score.

We also picked up our reports this week. I was disappointed as they were marked with As and Bs and not in %s. But not everything had been marked when they were composed etc. I am quite pleased with my results, they were a bit higher than what I had told the Sace co-ordinator when determining, but I think thats only because of the teachers prediction of the marks. In any case I got 2 A- for IT and Chinese, B’s for both Maths and a D for Physics, which sucks but yeah Physics is very hard. The best thing about the report is that for the first time ever I have a better report than Chris. Ain’t it great?

Anyways got stuff to do.
