High School Life

Posted by Nancy on 10th February 2008

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 ^.~

Inspector: Can anyone confirm that?

Emily: Yes! I have an eye witness… Celia from S23P!! She was at the disco! She was watching me while I was near the DJ!!! 

** It was then proven that Emily was innocent, due to the fact that she had been sitting the whole time at the disco.

Did you know it cost $220 ??!!

Posted by Nancy on 9th November 2007

Expensive, isn’t it? But, what is IT?? Well, IT is the greatest thing to happen to the stage 3 students and IT is sooooo great it cost THAT 220 Australian dollars… IT is stage 3 camp!!! We stay at camp for 3 days and two nights, yes!, three days of nothing but fun!! We had archery - shooting targets with a bow and arrow, River ride - having a speed-boat ride and looking around, Pool rafting - building a little raft in the pools and having a race, Canoeing - go canoeing (obviously), indoors rock climbing - climbing little boulders on a wall, Christian discovery - learning about God, and the best of all - The water-slide!!!

We had 4 instructors telling us what to do, Earl, Tim, Rachelle and Angelo. Earl and Tim keeps on getting into fights (not personal ones though) and are full of jokes.  The worst part of camp is when we are leaving :-(   . The bus trip back wasn’t much fun, we got to listen to the radio (2day FM ) and I fell asleep. I miss camp sooooo much :’-(

Mission Maker story.

Posted by Nancy on 24th September 2007

  

5 of the Greek god’s artefacts were stolen. It was supposed to be Zeus’s job to find them but he is too busy flirting. He has sent you to do his job for him and since he is a god, there isn’t much choice (is there?).It seems that the thief has set clues for him/her self to pay future visits and luckily, by all those clues, the thief is confirmed human. You were given a sack which could fit many heavy items in it but still keep it’s weight very minimum.  There will be future clues for you to collect and please keep Zeus’s secret business away from Hera (If she found out, he would be BIG trouble—*thunder storm*).

The Withering Flower

Posted by Nancy on 3rd August 2007

dsc03172.JPG          

This winter holiday was FREEZING. The icy wind stung every uncovered particle of skin and it was even snowing!! The confused weather man quitted, but no-one really liked him.

 Kids, even teenagers and adults everywhere were snow-fighting, skiing and doing all sorts of snow activities.I was making snowmen, a whole family of them. I just loved making snowmen, and found it super easy. It was getting darker and darker, but I didn’t notice. Soon, I was the only kid left.

 Instead of making a simple family, I made a large crowd of snow-People. Once I got off from snow-man planet, I started making my way home. I knew loads of short-cuts, but the shortest one had a lot of trees in the way. I was trying to think of a good excuse for my lateness when I saw a beautiful, glowing silver light which wiped my mind blank. I blinked. It was gone, I thought I was hallucinating but the next second, it flashed again. I thought it was just a lost flash-light, but the light was so bright and … graceful. I just had to go near it.

The light was glowing on a very low and leafless branch. All that light had come from a small, winged creature. It was about ten centimetres high and looked really fragile. The creature saw me, alerted it drew a tiny and silver stick and raised it like a sword. Then, the icy wind blew and it fell unconscious on the branch. The light was fading away from it. It was dying, dying from the cold and snow. I had to save it. I carefully lifted it up and lay it gently in my hand. It was as cold as ice.

 I started racing home as soon as possible. I tried warming it up, putting it near the heater and trying to keep it as warm as possible. My mum was next to me, confused, she asked, “What are you doing?” I stared at her. -“Can’t you see it?”  - “hmm? See what?”    I couldn’t believe it, my mum can’t see it. Was I imagining things? It seemed so real, and I could even feel it. I went towards my room, holding the strange creature in my hand, and covered it up. I went to dinner, trying to pinch a few pieces for that creature in case it was hungry. I went back to my room, but it was gone, the window was slightly opened. I left the food on the table and went to sleep. Thus, I never saw it again.

Samarost - First Impression

Posted by Nancy on 8th June 2007

 samostart.jpg  best_samorost.jpg  artgames_samoro_051212.jpg                          

Samarost was a really great game, though, it was pretty complicated and smart. I can tell you, if the class wasn’t working together, it would probably take us half a day to finish the game!

Samarost mostly uses brain power. At first, I thought it was a shooting game,it looked as if that “huge space ship” shot an orange laser, then the “guy in pyjamas” flew to the space ship. I was wrong. I just makes you think of what happens next.

The space ship was not what we think, for example, the key to the power supply was also a smoking rod and the trees had buttons.

The effects were arelly amazing. The background music was really mysterious. Although (even if I didn’t notice earlier) the music might’ve been there to help us think because it was calm, slow and soft. Plus the presentation made it look cool.

How-ever, the game didn’t have any instructions, abd didn’t give us much clues. The hands showed up, we thought it might’ve meant something. 

Try the game, it is really fun. Try it out yourself!  i_sm_webwatch_36_samarost.gif

ANZAC Letter

Posted by Nancy on 3rd May 2007

A Letter to Home…

25Th April 1915

To my dear Family.

The invasion to the Turks was impossible from the very beginning; some of our people was killed before they even got out of the boat. If soldiers was ordered to swim to shore, none of us would be shot but we would’ve be having our funerals at the bottom of the ocean due to the heavy load. Many of us would just drown.

The Turkish army is guarding the top of the cliffs and shoots down on us as if they are hunting rabbits. None of us have made it to the tops of the cliffs. We aren’t enough to even be a hindrance to them.

This plan was a gamble; the money was just a lure and a lie, it would probably be impossible to get the money for we would be dead. It was a complete lie saying that the job would be done easily. Back on the boat, I could tell that my dear friend, Jack Simpson, as he preferred to be called, was as nervous as I was. I knew that the guns meant something dangerous.

The sound gun shots are deafening and the smell of the corpses of our soldiers stink is worse than the toilet we had out in the yard. Our soldiers are decreasing, and Jack Simpson, now caled the bravest of the brave, who had saved my life with his donkey countless times, was shot and now lie in the front gates of heaven. He was not only a hero, but my friend aswell.

This may be my last letter for you for I can be shot dead any second on a surprise attack. I send my love for you and I would give anything to be back at my old lifestyle at the peaceful country side again…

C.M Brogins.
