| Ooooh, don't you just love Mondays?



Me neither.

I think my Monday-itis experience is influenced by triple sport in the morning. Today was a continuation of 3 goal soccer. For those who don't know me well - I am the most unco person to have ever graced this earth. I catch with my face, hit with my face, everything -face. To my surprise, my team won all our games today. *Cough* With 3 soccer players on the team.

Speaking of coughs, Emmie had a coughing spazz today and totally infected me. I'm known for never getting sick and for that, my mum ever-so-affectionately likes to refer to me as having 'the skin of a bull'. Nah, it's not a Viet idiom. I think its just my mum.

It's not just sick people, its the damn weather these days. The first few days of Autumn are actually hotter than the last few days of Summer. GOSH!~!@~@@~! Is it just Australian weather or is this the affect of global warming?

After sport were year assemblies, mine entailed lots of lecturing emphasising the importance of the next 2 years. There was a lot of, 'If you are not dedicated to your studies, why did you even choose to come back in the first place?' I hope that question made all the disruptive kidzz think. Most of the people who don't want to be at school didn't really have a choice so it was fairly nice to hear my year advisor saying that if that was the case, they would gladly help students choose an alternative to school and also have chats with their parents.

N2S: Utilise the Student Learning Centre. Its another classroom that just happens to have computers and textbooks available for use. Will come in real handy when I'm found procrastinating the day before a major exam. Which won't happen of course! *Knocks on wood*

Had recess after that, every Standard English student was stressing over their speech. Believe it or not, Standard is looking way more enticing compared to my current Advanced situation. I don't understand my class. We're all supposed to be of a higher level than Standard, yet 90% of my Advanced class does not put in the effort with their homework that 75% of Standard students do with their speeches. Makes me feel frustrated when I realise I'm the only dork who does their homework. Why should I feel ashamed for actually doing my work?!!??!!? AGAGAGAGA! It makes me reflect back to what my Year Advisor said once more, 'If you are not dedicated to your studies, why did you even choose to come back in the first place?'

But alas, I'll be starting English tutoring tomorrow with Sarah Transexual. Quite convenient considering her house is 1 minute away from mine and she is a friend (with benefits!) It's strange because I haven't had tutoring since Year 7. I quit because tutoring wasn't my 'thang'. People are surprised when they hear that and say that I'm a natural (!), but I say I'm self-taught.

French was after my rawther dull English lesson, which lifted my spirits. I absolutely and utterly adore French. Everything French. The language, the people, the fashion, the music, the foooood. Just the very essence of France is tres elegant. I've been dying to learn French since ever and now that I am, I find that ambition and determination shall conquer all those people in my class who think that they need oh so little practice in order to sound better than everyone else. Tuh!

I finished the day the most wonderful way - with CAFS :) We done a role play today using the concept of communication, both verbal and non-verbal. Heavens to Betsey, I haven't giggled so much in my life. (Well, I have. But this is for effect.) We had this worksheet where we had to interpret the meaning of people's facial expressions, stances and gestures.

See the guy I circled in pink? When Ms Malki asked us what we thought it conveyed, Emmie replied with: "Oh God". (While doing the gesture herself) It was the funniest thing everrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Goodness, I cracked up so bad. The rest of the afternoon I responded with that gesture to every question/ statement/ move Emmie made. Oh and the one circled in blue was 'confidence' according to Ms' answer sheet. Yeah, totally.

School ended 2:50ish, departed from Emmie with an "Oh God" then skippidee dooed to my car. I totally loved today's episode of 'Me, Eloise!' :D She is so cute/ spoilt/ bratty! I love how there is so much expression for a cartoon. Esp. that time Eloise told Nicole that Bill had a new girlfriend every week. Nicole = o___o Ha.

After that I fell asleep (!), woke up in a sudden jolt, showered at 6:30, crashed on the couch in time for SYTYCD - I feel that Steph & Marco were the weakest couple considering Stephanie's inflexible nature (i.e. with dance) I then realised I totally screwed up my schedule by having that cat nap.
