Wednesday, December 17 - but when I do everything should be perfect... hopefully! Everyone's talking about School Cert results... and how many band 6's they got... well... i'm gonna tell you something for the record... I DIDN'T GET ANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... All of my marks were in band 5... between 87% and 82%... let me give you the basic rundownSC English - 86% (band 5) Maths - 87% (band 5) Science - 83% (band 5) History - 84% (band 5) Geography - 82% (band 5) They were my actual marks... now I really have no idea what these are for but it's part of the SC... 2003 Courses with Performance Descriptors English - A (Excellent) Maths - B (High) Science - B (High) Commerce - A (Excellent) Computing - B (High) Drama - B (High) PDHPE - A (Excellent) Geography - A (Excellent) History - B (High) Now... now that i've opened up and shared everything... let me share my results for my report... now this is the school's report for Semester 2... English - 85% (Excellent) Average - 88% Advanced Maths - 83% (High) Average - 88% Science - 82% (High) Average - 82% History - 81% (High) Average - 85% Geography - 92% (Excellent) Average - 86% PDHPE - 85% (Excellent) Average - 76% Commerce - 90% (Excellent) Average - 88% Computing - 82% (High) Average - 84% Drama - 79% (High) Average - 85% So lets think about this... the high's and excellents seem to be very exactly the same to those in the school certificate paper... interesting... lets work this out... If you total them all up... I am exactly 2% below average... Awwwwwwwww... this sucks! Lets look at my comments... shall we? English Wilson is a capable and dilligent student who has worked well throughout the year. She is a confident public speaker who achieved very good results for her spoken English tasks. Wilson's creative writing had been very good and she is developing good analytical writing skills. My English comment The teacher liked two creative writing pieces I wrote in the same week and so I got 10/10 for both of them... yay! Maths Wilson had worked consistently over the year to produce these satisfactory outcomes. She demonstrates a positive attitude toward her class work and studies despite maths not being her preferred subject. Science Wilson had worked very well this year. Her exam results were very pleasing and Wilson had the ability to achieve excellent marks with continued focus on her studies. My Science Comment Pleasing exam results? I can't actually remember my exact yearly results but I have a pretty big feeling that I barely passed... But i did get 81% for the half yearlies... Continued focus? I'm not doing ne science next year... would be fun though... History Wilson works quietly to achieve good results. Wilson would benefit from developing a more proactive approach in class. My History Comment Works quietly? Quietly? Me? Ha, that's funny. Proactive? Proactive? Just because i'm not an overachiever doesn't mean i'm not trying my bloody best. Geography Wilson is a dilligent (I always get dilligent!) and committed student in Australian Geography and has achieved commendable results this semester. My Geography Comment Short and straight to the point. Good on ya teach! PDHPE During this semester I have seen Wilson grow in confidence and self esteem (but it leaves just as quickly). Both her physical education and health assessments have been of a high standard, displaying qualities of a great presenter. Commerce Wilson is extreemly talented and committed student in commerce who has achieved excellent results in all parts of the course. Her essay in the exam was very good and she demonstrates a clear understanding of all concepts. My Commerce comment I don't even remember that essay... Computing Wilson is a concientious student who works to the best of her ability. She has achieved good results in this subject. Drama Wilson is a 'sensitive' and preceptive Drama student. It had been an extreemly challenging semester. It is my hope that Wilson is able to acknowledge the great process learning she has undertaken. Wilson is a valuable group participant and I commend her sustained focus and dedication. Well done Wilson! Underlined part = bull shit! I've probably said this before but i'm gonna say this again... all the way through primary school and the first two years of high school the only subject i've ever wanted to do was Drama... which just happens to be my WORST subject at the moment... and normally... which totally sucks... Drama is a touchie subject... stop bringing it up... no you stop... no, u started it... I very well did not... yes you did... no way!... there's noone else her so it must've been you... I swear on my life it wasn't me... then who was it? Okay... now I gotta go and hide my report so my mother doesn't find it and read it... Let me tell you about my day... well... today was okay... but lets start with yesterday... I got extreemly freaked out... went to Kath's house and watched scream1... scary... i've seen it b4 but she closed all the curtains and turned off the lights and it was really dark (at like 10am) and it didn't make it any less scary with EJ screaming in my ear every 10 minutes... lol... slight exaggeration... Then um... some people went swimming... but Id idn't bring my swimmers... because I thought we were just gonna watch lots of movies... but I went swimming anyway... I was sitting by the edge of the pool and Kath splashed me and totally got my pants soaked so I swam in my clothes... it's fun... but everything sticks to you... and you never dry... so um... then I went home at 2:30 and mum'n'me dropped Ej, and Tit and Mel home on the way... I was still freaked out from the movie in the afternoon and night time... and a little bit now... in the car on the way home mum told me she was going out with some ex-collegues of hers... for dinner... and mitchie was going out with his GF so I was home ALONE! And I was so bloody freaked... they went out about 6:15 apparently and I felll asleep right after they left because I was exhausted from swimming... but then I woke up at 9pm and I was scared to get up because I was alone and my blinds were open and it was extreemly dark... My tv was on so I just started to watch "Daylight" and concentrated on not jumping at the slightest sound or movement outside... It was an okay movie... It had Viggo Mortensen in it... hehehehe... he died... got crushed... so sad... anyway... then I watched some of the Late Show... Letterman had Liv Tyler on so I had a total LOTR night... and I watched 24 coz it was on too... and some of Farscape... good show... then mum came home and I got up and walked around a bit to try and wake my leg up... the I went back to sleep... Now... today... oh wait... I got a phone call on my phone at 12:35pm... and then I got a message... but I didn't answer my phone coz I was freaked out that it would be one of my friends saying "whats your favourite scary movie?"... lol... so not funny! But it wasn't... luckily... It was Nat... saying she's miss me... so sweet... I didn't have the guts to check the message until this morning... lol... Now... today...woke up at 8 feeling very chipper because i'd had a shitload of sleep yesterday... got up, dressed, packed my bag and went to Kath's again... got there bout 9:10/9:15/9:20.... around then... brought my swimmers this time... we couldn't decide on a movie so we just went swimming... walked to the station at midday... caught a train to school... had lunch in westfield (subway)... and then met up with the twins to watch the christmas concert at school... funny... lol... I didn't get the video... but I new every single song anyone danced too... wmahahahahahaha... not a teenie weenie bit up myself right about now... Right direction Am I heading in the right direction? Am I heading in the right direction? I'll be good Tired of being bad Tired of making people mad Cutting classes, breaking rules You don't see All the real in me Everything that I wanna be It begins with you There's some hope if I get you close You could turn me into a good thing Baby (Chorus) I've got a lot to learn And so to you I turn I'm not a nasty girl But I can rock your world You're gonna need protecting But only you can let me heading in the Right Direction Am I heading in the right Am I heading in the right (Oh yeah) Direction (Verse #2) I could change Put a spell on me (spell on me) It could be my destiny (destiny) Only you know what to do (what to do) All the things That you offer me Love and security It begins with you There's some hope if I get you close You could turn me into a good thing Baby (Chorus x 2) Don't go away (shoowap, dobedowap) Not for a second (shoowap, dobedowap) Be mine always (shoowap, dobedowap) I wanna learn my lesson Baby Am I heading in the right direction? (continued through chorus) (Chorus) Am I heading in the right direction? Repeat x 3 I will miss my grade... but I will deny that fact to anyone but my group... brb phone ringing... twas dad... spoke to him for a couple of mins then passed the phone on to mum... shhhhhhh... don't tell them but I listened to their conversation... pretty boring... dad said "tits"... interesting... "Arlene stared at the telephone, willing it to ring. Somehow, she knew it wouldn?t. A phone never rings when watched. She picked up the photo of him on her bedside table. Warm, happy chocolate eyes smiled back at her. She loved his eyes. There was something about them that made the sun seem to shine brighter, and they always made her smile. Even now. Remembering what had happened between them, the smile quickly vanished, and she slammed the photo face down onto the table surface." Well... yes... I... um... yes... of course... *cries*... okay... over it already... that was quick... yeah i know... musn't have been that important... oh it was, but i'm getting pretty good at the whole 'mood swing' thing... lol, you seem to be... thanks, i think... yeah it was a compliment... okay, just making sure... FACT: I'm scared of the dark when i'm outside FALSE: The inside of tortoise shells do not make those NZ rocks that Maya and Titty believed they did STATUS: Recently shedded false hope This is a Joke; Dinner... food... argh... another time for dinner and i'm not hungry! this sucks... i was hungry before dinner... but now i'm not... damn irony... Ate dinner... rissole toasted sandwhich... was okay... fed the cat... don't think he liked it... want to clean my room sometime soon... it's messy... and I desperately wanna lie on my bed but there's crap all over it... grrrrrrrrr... cool to be tidy... I WANT TO BE ELLIE!! BECAUSE I THINK SHE IS AMAZING AND FIERCE AND STRONG AND GREAT AND ALTHOUGH SHE HAS HER FLAWS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE SHE OVERCOMES THEM WHEN SHE NEEDS TO. Everyone thinks I'm angry at them... well... it's not you... because if it's you you definantly know it is you and you've spoken to me about it... and i'm over it... and just a note to the person "Have I been mean to you to your face?" "Have i ignored you or avoided you?" "Have I changed my behavior around you?" The answer is NO... so i'm just venting and complaining and crapping on and it means nothing in perspective. Homer: Homer used to be renowned for being the 'class clown' and a rebel, but the war changed all that. The transformation from 'Homer the Delinquent' to 'Homer the General' was something that seemed to take the rest of the people he knew at the time by surprise, but this is a War and you can't expect all the normal rules of the game to apply here... Lee The cultured artisan of the group, so to speak. War is mad. Sometimes some of it can rub off on the people and disturb them greatly. Guess on who it rubbed off on this time? Corrie Ellie's best friend, in fact, every teenage girl would have their own 'Corrie'. In most ways, she is Ellie's equal as this is told in memory constantly. Who's memory though? Kevin Corrie's Ex-Boyfriend, the Ex is not by choice. Lost and then found again, but for him, something is still missing and this manifests itself in the inability to accept the reality of the situations that the group is getting into. Robyn Everyone has their own God, even people who say they don't Robyn's God is her inner strength. Fi The first thing to be crushed under the soldier's boot are the delicate flowers. Fi would have been if she was on her own, but she had friends that liked flowers... Chris An Enigma, pure and simple. The relative outsider of the group. He never seemed to fit in, even though he was in the same situation as the others. There is something about him that suggests that perhaps, he didn't want to... Gavin The 'leader' of the group of kids Ellie finds in 'The Night is for Hunting'. Is a troublemaker and turns out to be deaf too. Gets into all sorts of trouble, and gets Ellie out of some too. Ellie The 'voice' of the Tomorrow Series novels and not surprisingly the main character that is featured throughout the series. Is very stubborn and headstrong ("I'll never call you a stupid obstinate slag heap again Ellie" - Homer), which gets her into trouble with her friends and also endangers her life at one point. Everyone has good and bad sides to their personality and Ellie is no different. Her loyalty to her friends, love of her family and intelligence are amongst these. She also loves the Australian bush and her life on the land somewhat prepares her for the rugged lifestyle she is forced to live during the war, but only just. Along with Homer, she is also looked on by her friends as a leader of sorts and the others also come to rely on her for ideas. This is as well as writing about her experiences, which the group at first encouraged, but later it became a way of working things out. Another side to her is revealed when the group is forced to look after a group of war orphans. Ellie and the other even become teachers of the children, despite still being in school themselves. I haven't written very much in this post if you really think about it... most of the stuff has just been pasted in from somewhere else... I do that often... sorry for the randomness too... just figured it was time for a shake up... well... friday is my last day at school... John Marsden's first book "So much to tell you" was published in the year I was born... interesting... well... friday is my last day at school... sad but true... i'll get over it... i'll visit and stuff... go to dances... hang around... go to speech day... go to the christmas concert... lipsync... fashion parade maybe... and i'll invite them to my stuff... hopefully... I think i might do something cool for my birthday... like have everyone over and stuff... interesting... I've been blogging for hours... nothing much better to do... hopefully next year i'll be able to blog still and people will still read it... because then they'll still know whats going on with me... and I can read the blogs that I read now because then i'll have some sort of an idea whats going on at skool with u guys... and then we can keep in touch without really talking that much... My blog is over 9 months old... awwwwwww so cute... I'm soooooooooo proud... seeing as though I was recently a month-long-diary person... lol... I have grown up... Apparently we're going away on Saturday... i don't really wanna go... I wanna stay and relax... but I think i have to be good apparently because dad is stressed at work and he wants to go away... but dad is always stressed at work and he always wants to get away but what about the rest of us... mitchie's results come out tomorrow and fri so he might not feel like going away... and I haven't done any christmas shopping yet because i've been busy so i'm never gonna have the chance to do it... Dad doesn't want to come home until wed but thurs is christmas so mum was complaining... coz on christmas we're feeding 26 people 2 meals and so we're gonna have a lot of shit to do... Mum wants to come home on Monday but dad reckons we wont have enough time to do stuff... I reckon they should go out together for a couple of days, give me and mitchie a list of things to organize while they're away and they can come back on tuesday refreshed and with stuff already done... it's a win win situation... i only reckon i was this good at maths... 1+1 = A window... mwahahahahah I wanna put in a picture... um... lets go find one... um... ![]() I'm just waiting for a fly to fly into her gob... ![]() Should put a link in but I can't be bothered... just using it for the pic... sorry ppl... ![]() Awwwwwww... she was so little and innocent... awwwwwwww... sweet... I think I might correct something in one of my other posts... I briefly mentioned that I didn't believe in love... after much more thought about this i have decided that I believe in love... but I don't believe in love being the key to everything you have ever hoped for a dreamed of... i don't believe that once you love a person that is the end and everything is perfect... i believe that love can disappear as quickly at the sun or as slowly as the stars... I believe that you can fall in love with someone who doesn't love you and I believe in loving friends and family... but love is not love... if you know what I mean... okay sleepy... too much thinking... damn this brain... I'm totally revamping my website... it's getting there... give it time... i can't get the background pic to work... but when I do everything should be perfect... hopefully! |
