Term 3 Week 2 - Reflections

Hi internet.

This week, I've been quite busy. We had a lot of Cross Country practice. :(

Our Wood Tech teacher has quit, so now our Music Tech teacher has taken his place, and the band and choir teacher is teaching us Music Tech. Music's boring without Mr Graham :(

He's not my guitar teacher anymore either, so now I've got Mr Ellis again. We've been looking at ballads, and now we have to write one. i'm nearly finished mine.

There Was a Girl

There was a girl,

She was so beautiful

She had so many friends

Complements were plentiful

She had the perfect life

Or so it seemed

Nobody noticed the cracks in her mask

Nobody noticed it was all a dream

There was a girl

So broken inside

But she bottled it up

She had to hide

Her weight decreased

Her skin became pale

But nobody noticed

They couldn’t see through her veil

But I could see

I saw how she despised herself

How she pushed others away

How she wanted to end herself

I saw the way her eyes lost their sparkle

How her hair became limp with grease

And of all the questions going through my head,

‘How could they not see?’

There was a girl

She stopped trying

She didn’t try to conceal

When she was crying

They finally noticed

But did they care?

Nobody asked her

When she disappeared where

There was a girl

She stole my heart

But I couldn’t tell her

I thought she would laugh

I should have tried

I should have said

Maybe then she wouldn’t

Have ended up dead

That's my ballad so far. I still think it could be better though. I started a Critical Analysis of 'To Kill a Mockingbird' last term but I didn't finish it, so I need to finish this term. I've just got two more paragraphs to do. Our speeches are due tomorrow. I still need to do another paragraph. I've been putting off doing it. We've got the College Expo today. I've already decided on a few of my extra subjects. I know I want to do Food and Drama, and I'm probably going to do Photography. I don't know about my last one though. Anyway, that's all for this week. Till next time!

Term 3 Week 1 - Reflections

Hello internet. (If you get this quote then I love you, you are PHANtastic and we can be friends :P)

So, I just got back to school. We've got Cross country soon. Yay :(

We have to do Cross Country practice every day :'(

Who genuinely likes Cross Country? Mad people. Anyway, besides from Cross Country, the College Expo is soon. We have to pick four extra curricular activities for next year at College. there's nothing really exciting this term. Just things I hate, like Speeches. At least I have my birthday this term! And it's in the weekend! :)

It's only Wednesday so nothing's really happened, but I'll see you next week OK?

Term 2 Week 10 - Reflections

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I've been busy. Production's over! I'm sad yet happy. Anyway, two weeks ago, the whole week was Production practice, during school, so we didn't do school work, and then on Friday we had Field Days! I tried to eat a doughnut and drink coffee at the same time, and spilt coffee all down myself. Speaking of disasters, I was watching The Maze Runner, jumped at a part of it, and spilt coffee all down my new onesies. This was only days after the Field Days incident. Just yesterday, I heard something funny, burst out laughing, and sprayed spit all over the back of my friend's head. So yeah. I'm not accident prone at all! (I would tell you all the things I did since last time I updated, but you probably already think I'm an idiot, so I won't)

Last week was the actual week of performances for Production. So many things went wrong! The first night, pretty everything went wrong, so I won't bore you by telling you everything. Although Brooke, my assistant in the Production, lost her shoes. Griffyndor (Gryffin) stood on the back of her shoe, and it came off, so she had to flick the other one under the table. On the last night, it was the last scene, and I went through a door, but it wouldn't close. I kept trying to close it, but it was being annoying, so eventually I just left it. Then I couldn't stop laughing! It was SO embarrassing.

Anyway, that's pretty much all that happened with me. Goodbye for now, and I will see you (not literally) next week (hopefully)

Term 2 Week 7 - Reflections

A hearty hello to you, my dearest readers/awkward turtles/PSYCHOPATHS!

Anyway, a lot has been happening this week, and I've been very busy *cough* lies *cough*. I've been practicing for production, and I got my shoes for it! I had to get high-heeled shoes for my outfit for production, so finally my Mum has let me get high-heels! Yay! I've got to give those in today, as well as a pair of tights. I have to wear one of  Mrs German's suits, so hopefully we're the same size. Have I told you about my part in Production yet? I don't think I have. But anyway, if I have then too bad, I'm just going to tell you again. The Production is a lot like Cinderella, and my part is essentially the evil step mother. I'm the evil mayor Brunella, and I have my own office and everything. I have a line that says "And there won't be enough money left over to refurbish my mayoral office!" I'll just say one thing. I can see why I want to. But anyway, that's pretty much it. Unrelated to school though, I went to the snow! It was the first time I'd seen proper snow in 5 years! Ok, I think that's it. Keep calm and love Black Butler (Kuro shitsuji) AKA the most amazing anime ever! Goodbye!

Term 2 Week 5 - Reflections

Hello to you, my awkward turtles! How are you? Because I'm in pain.
We had to have our second HPV vaccination today. Yay! It was not fun. It hurt more than last time :'(
Anyway, not that much happened. We had Production practice yesterday, and I think I've got the hang of my song now. We had Maths tests, which are always exciting. *cough* sarcasm *cough* But anyway, that's pretty much it. I lead such an exciting life, don't I?
If you're reading this, I really hope you're not allergic to sarcasm. I'm having Jump Jam soon, and I'm dreading it. My are still hurts, despite the fact that we had it about three and a quarter hours ago. Just think how it's going to feel after Jump Jam. I think that's all, but never mind, you'll see me next week. And the next. And the next. And the next. And the next..........
OK, goodbye, see you next week! 

Term 2 Week 4 - Reflections

Hi! It's me again. I wonder if anyone actually reads these. Probably not. Oh well. Anyway, onward, to the boring details of my life.
As usual, not much has happened, although we did have a Production sleepover in the weekend. We stayed Sat to Sun, and it was really fun. We did Act 1 of the Production, and we did some work on the songs too. The food was really good this time, not that it matters, but... at least it wasn't raw.
Anyway, away from the topic of food, everyone in the Production is getting a lot better, and there are great singers. Most people aren't using their scripts anymore, and I think it's a lot easier for them to act when they're not constantly reading something. Production isn't all I've been doing though. I've been VERY busy doing other stuff-
Okay, that's a lie. I haven't really been doing much else. Science Tech Art is over soon though, and we'll be doing food next! Yay! If you couldn't tell, I love cooking. But I'm going to just assume that you could guess that by what I wrote, because frankly, I don't know anyone that stupid. Okay, that's all for now, I've finished boring you for this week.
Have fun, be safe, watch Doctor Who- I mean, umm.... Just ignore that last one. (Don't really though) Goodbye!

Term 2 Week 3 - Reflections

Hi! I had Music Camp last week, which is why I didn't post anything, so sorry about that. But anyway, to the happenings!
For anyone who doesn't know, Music Camp is where the choir and the band from three schools (Te Awamutu Intermediate, Matamata Intermediate and Cambridge Middle School) come together for two days, and on the second day, there's a concert to display what we've been doing. It was really fun, but the food wasn't very good. The chicken was undercooked, some pieces with blood in it, and a few of the burgers were still pink. Apart from that though, the camp went off without a hitch. I'm in the choir, and sung quite a few songs, including one from the movie Anastasia, and a 60's Medley, which was frustrating, because they said we were going to do a Beatles Medley which I was really looking forward to, and instead we did that. I had a solo in the Medley though, so yeah. Anyway, that's pretty much it. C u next week!
