Term 3 Week 4 - Reflections

Hi internet.
So as I told you before, I started a novel analysis on 'To Kill a Mockingbird' last term. I've finished it now, I just keep forgetting to actually hand it in. We did our speeches on Mon. Apparently mine wasn't terrible enough, so now I have to read it again for class finals. And if I get through for that, I get to read it in front of five classes. Fun :'(
So anyway, that's not all. The library just got a lot of new books delivered, and when they were locked up in the library office, I looked at them through the window. There are so many cool books! there are David Walliams books, John Greene books, James Dashner books, and so many others! I was basically fangirling over the books with my face pressed against the glass. they're going to be covered, and we're going to look at them after lunch. I'm going to miss some of Choir so that I can look at them, otherwise all the good books will be gone. God I'm such a nerd :P
The College test is looming. It's only about five weeks away. I really want to do well and get into the accelerate classes. Not much else to tell. I'll see you again next week

Term 3 Week 3 - Reflections

Hi guys. We haven't been doing much this week. We had a Powhiri (welcoming) yesterday, but we had Tech at the same time so we got a choice on whether we wanted to go or not. I didn't go. We were greeting four Chinese students who are learning English. They're staying here for about two weeks and then they're leaving back to China. There are two boys and two girls. The girls are staying with a girl in my class, so we see them a lot. The two Rock Bands performed in a competition, Band Slam. Toxic Rose, one of their bands, placed third in the creative section. They played for the school not long before, and they were really good. The College expo was fun. I've chosen my four subjects, Food, Music, Drama and Special Effects. I really hope I get to do them all. Nothing else really. See you next week
