This Week In School: The Perfect Week?

This is what I would like to call a 'relaxing' Week In School. A Week without Tests (for the most part), Homework or any of that stress. It was quite refreshing, no more cringe inducing  S.V.T and Maths couldn't be seen anywhere! The final Week before the Easter Holidays was quite perfect. Not to say that things weren't boring though...

Danton has been having too many pies...

Our Schedule had been mixed up alot this Week, because half of the year wasn't present (off on a Week's Holiday to Spain, not that I envy them because they're all probably sunburnt to hell right now!) and so both Classes in my Year joined together to make 4eme C (A + B = C apparently). German was still in its regular slot, but the Teacher was absent again so more Permenance. We had a German Test on Thursday so I spent most of my time revising for it or finishing off the Science exercises I had to do for Friday. After Perm was Maths, which was just a filler lesson where she all just gave us two COLOSSAL pages of Maths exercises to fill-in. The Teacher couldn't advance the lesson because the Class' were a) not on the same stage and b) half of the Year was missing so we couldn't make the Spaniards feel left out now could we? Ironically, we needed a calculator to calculate the cosine (or consinus) of an angle. SO NOW WE'RE ALLOWED TO USE THE CALCULATOR ALL OF A SUDDEN? More to the point, my calculator doesn't have the cos or -cos buttons that all those other flashy calculators have so I couldn't do the majority of them. So now I have to get one for the damned Test! After Maths was Art, where I continued the project on a newspaper front page. Annoyingly I accidentally deleted all my progress half way through and had to start from scratch all over again, which sucked. After that was more Permanence, and I had pretty much exhausted any Homework I could possibly do by the end of the hour. After the break was History, in which we watched a film on the Revolution for two hours (HERE and HERE). It got a bit gory at times, featured many beheadings and starred Christopher Lee in a few brief cameos. Despite the fact that it was in French it wasn't all that bad to be honest, it focused mainly on Danton, Robespierre and Louis XVI and finished just after the death of Robespierre. English was twenty minutes on a little grammatical exercise (that I finished in precisely 23.5 seconds) and then we played a game where someone put a sticker on your head with the name of a person on it and you had to guess who it was. My sticker had Lady Gaga on it....

Help! I'm squashed under this massive crowd!

Tuesday started off with History in which we had to do a biography on the famous painter Jacques-Louis David. We had more than enough to keep us occupied, as we had to chart his History from Birth to Death! Maths was after that, which meant MORE exercises but it wasn't that bad this time. Technology was the highlight of the Week by far, because we studied old video games consoles from the 80s-90s. I was in a group tasked with the old Atari 2600, and back then I don't think graphics was even a word! Talk about using your imagination, it was all just a bunch of moving black dots on the screen! Did you people in the 80s even KNOW what was going on in those games? Thank god I was born into a generation of advanced game engines! Permanence was after Techno, and we sat in the library reading comics for an hour chilling out. I was reading a comic about a kid called Dubocu who tried to invent more preposterous schemes to cheat his school Tests. Why the School has that sort of material I don't know, we wouldn't want want some of the kids getting a few smart ideas now would we? The Afternoon was even more laid back, English had me twiddling my thumbs and because the German Teacher was still absent we had YET ANOTHER hour of bloody Permenance. Back to the library reading Books then. Technology (again) replaced Extra Maths, and we finished our dossier on the ol' Atari. 

Good god is that thing made out of Wood?!

Wednesday was a bit more active, History saw us correcting our biography on David, which was quite boring. Judging by his emense wealth of 'oeuvres' that guy sure liked to paint! Technology was us taking a step forward in time, to study the GameBoy Advance. It was definately a signifigant improvement over the Atari 2600 days but its hardly the 3DS now is it? The final two hours were Sport, which was Football. Add in the blazing heat and you've got one hell of a dehydration problem! They put me in the goal (thankfully in the shade), mainly because I was crap at everything and it made more sense to have your best players out on the battle field rather than in the goal. To be honest I just had to stand there and watch them playing and even when they came straight at me they missed by a loooong shot, not even touching the goalposts! These are people that train in clubs, and they can't even shoot straight! Even with all these misses I still failed to catch the ball TEN times by the end. The final Result was 12-13 (we lost) and we walked back into the gym pouring with sweat. Of course the French were all tanned the following day, I was just sunburnt!

This was crap.

Thursday was even more laid back, we had like three hours of Permanence total. History was the first thing in the morning (yet again) and we had a new Teacher supervise us this time (one that Teaches the 3eme's I think). She was quite nice, and we mainly talked about 'seeing the hidden picture' in David's paintings or something...don't look at me! I had had enough of Jacques-Louis David by the end of this. What followed was THREE hours of French back-to-back, which was the equivalent of having my eyeballs being sucked out by a tube! The first hour was with M. Tardivel, the French Teacher for 4eme B, it was quite boring. The work was extremely tedious, we had a page of different sentences each using the word 'post' and we had to find out the different meanings of the word: like 'post' office isn't the same as out-'post' is it? Like I said, extremely tedious...The second hour of French saw another new Teacher Mme. Elain (who was my French Teacher in 6eme), who quite frankly cuts the bullsh*t right down. Here we did Internet Research on the History of the postal service, all the way down to the Middle ages. Seriously, why the Postal love all of a sudden?! It isn't like any of us actually USE the postal service nowadays is it? The last time I ever wrote a letter was in 2006! The last hour in this marathon French trilogy was a boring grammar lesson. Nothing to see here folks... 
The afternoon was completely pointless, I might as well have just not gone in and just stayed in bed! We had a German Test though, but it was exactly the same as the last one (down to the minute detail). I whizzed through it in under 15 minutes and I'm pretty sure that not one mistake was made. We had TWO hours of Permenance to fill after that so we watched a movie that one of kids brought in. Something called 'Le Mac' starring Jose Garcia, a R rated comedy which is basically ripped off from the classic 'The Prince And The Pauper' plot like so many countless movies before it! For a Catholic school to show us a film where in the first FIVE minutes the main character wakes up in a bed surrounded by naked women, snorts crack, shoots someone, swears from the top of his voice and strolls into a strip club of even MORE naked women I found it to be pretty sacrilegious on their part! And boring as hell. Is this what the Frenchies taste in movies are like? I find it complete and utter SH*T if thats the case. The final Hour was Art, where we had to make a poster about the upcoming School play (or as they call it, a 'Spectacle') on May 27th. The edition is to have a 'buffet' on the night aswell, and you can even arrange a takeaway! Apparently this is exiting and has to be displayed in big BOLD letters on our poster for some reason. I almost resisted the urge to put: 'Warning: sets will be made out of Cardboard!' 

Do they even exist now?

Friday was more of the same, and unfortunately there isn't alot to comment on. French came back to haunt us again with more research on the postal service (I'm sick of BLOODY letters right now), and even more grammar exercises in the second hour (this time online) where after one hour of doing the SAME exercise I finally managed to get a 11/20, surely by pure luck! Then there was Maths, where I finally got the Results for my two previous Tests on the subject. The surprise Test from last Week (which I forgot to mention) earned me a 5/5, and it turns out the other Test really was THAT easy, which meant I garnered a big 16,5/20! I'm really delighted by these scores, hopefully pulling me back out of that drain in which I had a string of appalling Results. PHEW, what a relief! Permenance was after Maths, so more reading then. The Afternoon was more relaxation, we filled in a few crosswords the French Teacher had provided, along with a few more grammar pages. So technically this makes it the SIXTH hour we've had of French in just under TWO days! Now if that isn't overkill then I don't know what is! Science was the first proper lesson I think we've had all Week, because of USGEL and the voyage to Jersey the Science Teacher had ALOT of catching up to do with both Classes. He split the classes up into two sections and assigned us each different experiments to do (because 4eme B was furthur advanced than my Class). It was quite the super-charged lesson and as such it went by quickly. The final lesson English, was us again chilling out for another hour. Basically we had a few games of Hangman, joked around a bit and waited for the bell to go at 4.40pm. It was the equivalent of tapping your fingers against the table loudly screaming 'COME ON! WHEN ARE THE HOLIDAYS GOING TO START! I NEED TO GET TO SATURDAY NOW SO I CAN WATCH DOCTOR FRIGGING' WHO!'

Get it wrong and he dies!!!!!!

And that was the last Week in School folks (again). Its only really been a month since the last Holiday, but my anticipation for Doctor Who has made it speed up even more so it practically feels like no time has passed at all between Hols. Was this the perfect Week though? No Tests, no stress, nothing happening? Just chilling out and relaxing the entire time? In a way it is the Week I've been moaning for since I first started this Blog, but I wouldn't want it to be like this every Week because that would be boring. That means both boring for me, and boring for you to read! But add in more exitement and cut down on French then I suppose this really is 'The Perfect Week In School'...
