Well, yes, I haven not been on Blogger for months. Let me just forget that. I can't go back to then and update my blog, because unfortunately, Einstein forgot to calculate the Theory of Time Travel.
So, Happy New Year! Hope you had a brilliant, sunny Christmas Holidays and was looking forward to coming back to school! I know I was.
Year 8! I know! Exiting! But the really sad thing is, all the year eig-nines (sorry) have left and now I'll never see half of them again. We'll have a hard time living up to the reputation year eights have- which is basically utterly amazing. The good side is, now, I can apply for Class Councillor! There are maybe fifty million more opportunities year eights get the year sevens don't, but I really can't be stuffed listing them all. One thing I really look forward to is Tech Arts- right now I'm in Soft Materials (sewing) and seriously, it doesn't get much better than designing and making your own whole polar fleece sweatshirts! I mean, come on. At my primary school, the year eights made cushion covers. Please. And in Science we get to make sherbet. And in wood tech we get to make speakers.
Next week we start PAT testing! Yaaaayyyy! I love any kind of academic test, I know, true nerd. We had a maths test the other day, and I only forgot one or two things (even though I made a couple of stupid mistakes) so I did pretty well. We also had a Maori test this morning, which I might've kinda completely failed. Well, I answered about two thirds of the questions (that might be an exaggeration, I'm not sure), but about a third of those were complete guesses. I suck at Te Reo Maori.
Over the holidays, I got news that an entry I entered for a competition was being published in an anthology! (That's a book full of stories for those who don't know.) I'll publish that later. I was going to enter another, better one, but I forgot to do that, so I'm surprised that one got through. Yay!
Looking forward to getting to know all the teeny year sevens in the next few week! (I swear I was not that short at the beginning of last year.)
Good luck for 2015!
