Yesterday was my 17th birthday. I wanted to celebrate this year quietly, as I do have bigger and better plans for the future. There is another reason though. Most people turn 18 this year, and celebrations of that variety often put others to shame. Hence I did all I could to still “belong”, but not [...]

5 of 6 and the next week.
So, there it is. Five of six exams done. I must say, today’s Maths Extension 2 exam really took me to the limit. It was simply, really hard. That’s all. At least it’s over now, and I can enjoy the weekend. The last exam is Maths Extension 1, but really, that’s going to be easy [...]

Part Rivalry

In the dying embers of 2008, it’s time to evaluate whether my New Year’s Resolutions (NYRs) were fulfilled. So, here goes. Now remember, I usually don’t make NYRs simply because I don’t get round to them much. 1. Blog/write more. Well, I’ve kept up this blog, and my other social networks. I could have done [...]

After Europe
Apologies for the lack of posts for a month. I blame the Europe tour for that. Yes, that’s right. I have just come back from a 20 day tour of Europe and the UK with the Barker Choir and Orchestra. I could write on for ages, but I think that it is best captured in [...]

This past week
Last Wednesday, this was celebrated: It was so good to see friends being friends. A lot of work had gone into pulling off a big celebration for the two people. I helped out in the celebrations, handing out party poppers, which was fun. Nothing else needs to be said. Next week, tests and assessments. Go [...]

English Exam Today
Short post from me. Today was the final English Exam for Standard and Advanced. Is it just me, or was the exam hard/worded badly/something bad?
