GAAAAHH! How is high school? Hard!  We get too much homework and have 6 sessions a day here at Tempe! Nah! Jokes. lol.  High School isn’t bad! It is quite fun actually, yes we get lots of homework, but it will only take alot of time if you leave it all till the last second (and that is why I’m having troubles at the moment.).  The uniform is really expensive, I have to wear the same thing two/three days in a row.

We get six different sessions a day at Tempe, but it’s ok. It’s not too difficult, once you work out where we go, you don’t have to worry too much about getting lost!

English here is fine. The teacher isn’t too strict, we have DEAR (drop everything and read) and have to summaries, thoughts and predictions afterwards. Public Speaking is also very important, (Debators, you probably have a little of a head start!) so lots of people try to volunteer to read thier work out.

P.E is not too bad. It’s really like what we have. “Me, myself and I” is what I’m currently doing in class. It’s about self changes, what affects* what we become and such.

For L.O.T.E, year 7s can’t choose the language we wan’t to learn yet, so I’m learning Vietnamese, what my teacher speaks.

Science is fun! Practical lessons are even funner! We have to follow laboratory rules. Heres a tip: Don’t use or throw liquid paper. 1. It makes your work less neat and 2. Once, (in another high school my science teacher was teaching) someone threw liquid paper at another and it went in his eye.. he went blind. So far, I’ve learn how to light a Bunsen burner (you will know what it is in high school), about two types of flame (yellow flame is safe and blue flames are dangerous - in fact, don’t play with the yellow flame either) , what scientists do and Observing a wax candle (a little boring)

During the music classes, I’m learning about instruments in the orchestra, we get to play the instruments around (like the piano, guitars, xylophones, vibraphones, drums, cello, and such).

Maths - I love maths (more like the lessons than the subject). Our teacher is really funny! He’s possible a comedian before he is a teacher *hmm*. It’s definetly great!

Well, sports is ok I guess… that is because I haven’t done any yet! Tuesday is the sports day at T.H.S and it was raining! Well, we watched the simpson movie in the hall.. it was a little boring (because I’ve watched it before). Hmm.. I have tryouts on Tuesday… Softball. The yr 7 girls only got softball and Oz Tag.

Well.. thats so for the lessons…  I still have homework :-( 

  I miss everyone so much! I miss  being a primary school person! I miss my old (err, how OLD is the school?) school. I miss my old (still young!) friends. I miss my old (not that old) teachers… I am currently uh… Primary school sick? (is that what you call someone who is like - homesick?)

Ok.. I’m now really, really, really, really, really, reeeeaaallllyyyyy tired. I’ve got to go to sleep. (I wake up at around 7am!) I have to catch the train to T.H.S so.. good night everybody ^.~
