This Week In School: For The Most Part, Everythings Fine!




You know what? This Week wasn't that bad! For once little went wrong/iffy, and this should mark a crowning achievement for ANY School! Of course, there are still tons of things to complain about, namely Homework and that Bloody thing called Sport but I suppose they're only minor when you look at the bigger picture. Heck, its the month of my 15th B-Day so all should be going well! Why I bloody deserve a good Week out of all the past trial and tribulations! Huhhrah to Febuary, I say (then again, I suppose next Week could be a complete crock of Sh*t)!

Lets start off with Monday, a day that kick started with our recent replacement for German, Permanence! At least we got to work on our mountain of Homework this time (funny how a few Weeks earlier I stated that we don't have ENOUGH Homework). That was then followed by good ol' Technology, were we moved on from automated detectors to actual everyday stuff, like how the wireless Internet signal works (one person in my Class suggested that the Image was 'beamed' into our heads and then projected onto a screen! Don't know whether he was serious or joking but if he wasn't then I'm seriously worried for him, because we all know that the Internet is merely a figment of our imagination right?). Art was us drawing and thinking up the camera shots for my Teams short movie and Maths was more of the same: endless and ENDLESS piles of exercises! History was better though, we watched a video on how f*cked up Russia is (both economically and climat wise), and French was me analysing text from the translated Bram Stokers Dracula (Le Vampyre du Nuit says 'Bonjour Mortels! Voulez-vous un criossant?').

Tuesday was fine, in Maths we actually looked at something new (for once), History was just us watching more Videos on Russia (this time we were looking at an old village called Saienogorz, a poor direlect town full of old people with no teeth), and the TWO Hours of French was us learning the different ways to tell a Story: for example the text can be subjectif with words like: fun, happy, great or Objectif with words like: it seemed fun, happy, great. We also learnt that you could use 'Positive' words in the text, or 'Negative' words that manipulates the emotions of the Reader. First time French really spoke to me, I can tell you. The afternoon went by in seconds, were the English Teacher was still playing the funny man (he reffered a few gossiping girls to 'Chickens' and then made that annoying clucking sound that Homer Simpson does so well). Complete riot! German was sadly, more Homework and Extra Maths was extra dull but oh well it was a good day apart from that!

Wednesday did pose a few minor problems, and it all had to do with Sport: We had 30 seconds to get the ball from the other person (it was basically rugby but on all fours) and it all ended up with the ball flying towards my face...OUCH. I thought for sure I had lost a Tooth, but thankfully the pain was mostly in the gums and it subsided after TWO days. Which was a shame, as I would have enjoyed it if it wasn't for that meddling ball! The second exercise was someone being voted 'The Crocodile' and the objectif was to grab the legs of a escaping person and tackle them onto the floor. Of course all the little buggers went for me first, which just reinforces the saying: 'The bigger they are, the harder they fall'. After Sport was the Technology Test, which went really well, its just the case of how well it went. Then in Vie de Class (the Teacher decided to switch French to Friday) we all proposed different debates on a number of topics. We ended up proposing the idea for a 'Play Room', a Room where kids can go and basically just chill out. I thought that we already have the Library, which is a nice place to relax when you have no Homework to do in Permanence but we went crazy, proposing a room full of HD-T.VS, Laptop computers, Video games, comfy chairs (WTF? The School is NEVER going to agree to all this Sh*t!) and even food and drinks served for free! The Teacher was like 'Ok, do what you want, live in your PERFECT School fantasy ect...' but I just found it incredibly funny how preposterous the demands got! Of course we all DREAM of a Room like that in School but COME ON GUYS, BE REAL HERE! Permanence was me starting the COLOSSAL amount of German Homework for the following day (we had to do a sort of 'Fact File' on Germany with pages of informative stuff to research).

Thursday, was a bit rough and boring at times: Maths was same old, same old, Sport was fine (back to doing those crappy human pyramids again, such a bore...and really bad on your back) and I nearly fainted AGAIN in S.V.T when we looked at how Chickens mate (I'll never look at Eggs the same way again!). The afternoon marked a MONTH of our German Teacher's abscence, and surprisingly, SHE SHOWED UP FOR ONCE! After ONE month! No one commented on her abscence (she was apparently REALLY ill) and she looked a bit on the pale side but overall everything was back to normal. The one thing that really, REALLY bugs me is that after ALL that Homework she gave us, AFTER ALL that back-braking work I had to endure, she just dismissed it all and told us to put it in a folder and FORGET ABOUT IT? WHAT!!!! THIS HOMEWORK NEARLY KILLED ME GODAMMIT AND YOU JUST WAVE IT AWAY LIKE IT'S NOTHING? GOOD GOD I COULD JUST &^&%@$! Anyway after all that Homework that basically amounted to NOTHING, we did a recap of everything we've learnt (cos' the last time any of us spoke German was in December) and just continued like it was any other lesson. Extra Extra Maths was mind numingly boring and I pretty much made the Music equivalent of  Sh*t on my flute in Music (I got a puny 6/10, which was still alot more than I deserved, my near-perfect average has plummeled as well thanks to the score). 


Friday was okay, Extra Maths was more boring than Thursdays (I think we're suffering from too much Maths exposure!), French was fine (alot of god damned Homework though!) and History was the last lesson on Russia (In short: don't live in Russia). Maths was infuriating because of the amount of Homework she has given us for tomorrow (take out your books and do Exercises 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ,13, 14...page 209!). After a lunch time break we endured the Geography Test on Russia (the stuff that we did on that day wasn't a part of the Test for OBVIOUS) and it all went superbly well, in fact I think I only got one thing wrong! YAY! Science went off to a wobbly start though with a SURPRISE INTERROGATION! Its ironic seen as normally we have Permanence in the hour previous (but the Teachers can decide to put Tests in these hours) and I would normally spend this time revising just IN CASE there was a surprise interrogation, and THE ONE DAY where I can't revise for it and THATS the day when he decides to interrogate me? God I swear the Teachers are doing this on purpose! I got a 3/5 none-the-less and I did score a 16,5/20 in the Test from last Week so all was well really. English capped off the Week, providing endless comedy standups (I don't even think it can be qualified as a lesson now, we're too busy laughing to work). And that was it!

So there you go, not a bad Week all-in-all, but really: CUT DOWN ON THE FRIGGING HOMEWORK GUYS! THIS IS BULLCRAP!
