And a great big "Welldonehurray" to El Netto. Yes. The Netto. The radio star. El Radio Star. Because El is classy. And Spanish. But yeees. That's quite cool.
Of course, you realise you've spoken to Adam & Wil twice now. Twice. And they called you. Damn. that is a sweet earth you might say
But yes. In other, far less interesting news, I have to say one thing:
Sheldon? Sheldon. Really? But a fan wouldn't make a name like that up. Would they?
...Sheldon. It just doesn't fit. I think we'll stick with Sands, thankyou very much. He doesn't need a first name. Oh no.
I am not updating in RE class. I am a good girl.
Well, maybe just a bit.
Yesterday work was interesting. Re-stocking. Never done it before, and it's not difficult, just time consuming. It becomes an unconcious action after the first 3 hours. Yes. 3 hours. No, I'm not kidding. And I got paid. ahah, $124, sweet ass sweet. Yes. Donkey.
And "CoolguyMatt" became more cool, as he knows of Strong Bad. and has downloaded the soundtrack thingame from the game. Woohoo!
And a person came in yesterday [female person] and took out no less than 5 Johnny movies. I am proud of her. One of them was Benny & Joon! I heart Benny and Joon. :) Hm, we couldn't decide which scene was more cute and cool, the bread scene or the hat scene. I'm afraid the cutest scene would have to be the "Mummy?" scene. It's huggable. And the "It wasn't my tree" bit. Ehehee
*inane giggles*
Ok, now I'm done.
Nothing really doccumentable has happened. Not really. I got 31/40 in the History report, we watched a neato doccumentary on Tsarist Russia, with ridiculous English accents in place of Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra, Lenin [Lenin's voice over was reeally poncy], and a few less noteable characters in history.
Am afraid I may have done badly in Lit in Class. Very afraid. I like Judith Wright though, she writes interesting poems. No favourites, but quite a few good ones. Like Drought Year. A verily noteable quoteable. My favourite poet is still Keats, though. ooh, or Blake. Or, um, no, that's it.
Shakespeare was cool, but I'll never, ever forgive him for Sonnet 18. Never. That was utter shite. No, I'm not kidding. Midsummer Night's Dream... or The Tempest is my favourite Shakespeare.
And The Crucible is my favourite play. Ever. Erm, bar none. Probably. I really think so.
Lit is most excellent.
Yeah. I'm a little worried at the moment, though. I don't want to fail anything, but I'm seriously lacking in discipline. Seriously. I don't study. I never have studied. However, I don't think cramming is going to get me through this year. However,
louisthefly, I would appreciate your professional opinion - just how far can I get with cramming?
I think what it all comes down to is I think too much. I don't just learn things, I have to think about them. Then, of course, I keep theorising until I have nearly no idea what it is that I've just learnt.
On another note, Geography is insanely beneficial to Biol. That is all. I will go now.

I throw shapes and they catch them. Set ‘em up and watch them fall.

Date: 2004-03-02 09:34 pm (UTC)well, i got an 81% ter relying almost entirely on cramming. i wouldn't reccomend it though, especially if you want to get into uni
there can be a happy medium though, like you don't have to study four hours a night, but i'd reccomend the occasional lit and history practice essays, which your teachers would probably give you comments on if you gave to them to read, providing they didn't have heaps of other marking. do all the maths and biology class work, study the night before any test and if there's something you get wrong try to study that most before the exams. i can't really help you with geography because i didn't do it and i can't stand it, but i assume you'd just study it the same way as you'd study maths or biol, learn all the concepts and remember as many of the names as you can
i find it relieves stress to go to a party two days before exams and then sleep the next day. but i wouldn't reccomend that. just don't get rid of your social life, you still have to come to writer's group (it makes a good study break)
i assume you're trying to get into uni, what course are you planning on doing?
hope i've been at least a little helpful

Date: 2004-03-03 03:34 am (UTC)Hmm, I like the sound of that happy medium.
[I have every intention of going to writer's ^_^]
Erm, I'm not entirely sure yet. I have vague ideas at the moment. Something to do with Lit, something to do with history, and something to do with IT. and that may be all. But, I don't know.
:) many thanks for the help ^_^

Date: 2004-03-03 04:17 pm (UTC)Damn, a B average... ah, herm. I wonder if I can do that

Date: 2004-03-04 04:18 am (UTC)trust me, it is very possible, you only need around 67%
