7:58 Monday Evening   Morning Breaks my poor subconscious I woke up this morning thinking "Oh, it's okay. I can sleep in on Sundays" The next thing I heard was, "Teresa, Are you up?" My happy prospect of sleep instantly shattered as it dawned on me that today was not Sunday as I had so hoped. Alas! It was Monday morning, rainy and cold. I bussed. It was a cold and wet walk which I would not have minded if I hadn't been carrying my lovely A3 visual diary. *sigh* It's too big to fit in my backpack. I'd liked to have skipped to school or outstretched my arms and caught raindrops on my tongue, but I had the integrity of my notebook to worry about. No one likes wrinkly paper. I got to school a bit early so I went to prayer meeting. No one was there except Tim and two other kids I didn't know. Tim. Hmm. Tim and I had an interesting discussion on religion. It's great that he's so full of faith, but it doesn't seem fair that he should trash everyone's faith that's different from his. In photo I made a startling discovery: I'm only going to school for 5 more weeks. And then I won't go to school again until next August. And because I'm not even getting credit for photo at home, why should I care what Ms. Robbins wants me to do? I'm going to take pictures of whatever I want. And I want chess. I don't care about artist models. I think I'll buy a roll of film from her tomorrow, and after school walk down to the shops and buy a chess set. Technology was next, and I got to play with acrylic after I varnished my coasters. I don't go to tech again until Friday! I get an extra study on thursday because all the other tech kids are going on a field trip. Hey, I think that's 3rd hour. sweet as. 2.3 hour lunch break! at interval I talked to Chris, and ate chips. Chemistry was alright. Playing with Nitric Acid and whatnot, finally out of titrations. Also played with Hypochlorous acid, and the fumes in the room towards the end of the period were pretty toxic. I got a headache and had to zip out of the room every few minutes for hits of fresh air. It felt like the opposite of cigarette breaks. John likes Zombie movies too, I discovered at lunch, even though he's never seen anything but Resident Evil. Teehee. I like John lots. He's really fun to talk to. Also, Sam said happy birthday (hahahaha, this is one long birthday I'm having) and there's a whole pineapple thing I won't even get into the details of. Mostly because I'm not exactly sure what it was all about. Something about a guy eating lots of pineapple so that his ... girlfriend.... anyway. In art I continued working on my self portrait. I even took my folder home and have been working on it for some of this evening. It's starting to turn out really awesome. It even looks like me now! Unfortunately it's on a grid system and I sort of feel like I'm cheating. But oh well, it's the assignment. Ira sat by me in maths again! and Marko and Simon were still abusive but Ira's presence helped soften the blows. or make it so there were less blows directed at me. Haha. Oh yeah, and I learned stuff. :P Yay for differentiation. Then I walked to the bus stop and the 84 was ON TIME OMIGOSH. I sat next to my sister :) and then ran home to beat her to the computer.... I worked on my drawing and ate dinner and talked about Limits (in calculus) and have no idea what I'm going to be when I grow up because I'm not exceptionally good at anything, I'm just mediocrely good at a lot of things. I don't want to be in management. Eh, I'm good enough at science and maths that I'll be okay. Now I'm waiting for Caleb to get online. Are mondays still daisy days? ----------------- 8:20 p.m. I dislike listening to daddy yell at mummy.
