User:SmudgyHollz/My Online Diary:January 2012

Tuesday 10th January
Okay. Sorry I haven't updated in so long. My excuse; I have been too busy. Honestly. Out of the fifteen days that we got of Christmas holidays, I only slept in my own bed for four of them. My family is basically homeless at Christmas. We travel from relative to relative, taking up all of their beds (and occasionally art studios/game rooms) and eating all of their food.

Anyway, yesterday was my first day back at school. I know what you're all thinking, but I really didn't have that long a holiday. It's just that my Christmas break officially started after Christmas. Right, well nothing particularly interesting happened on Monday. Apart from a surprise Modern Studies test and a game of badminton against Lionpaw!

As for today, decide what it was like for yourself;

Assembly: That `And That's Why God's Important` Minister spoke to us. Something about examining himself with a magnifying glass this time...

French: Practice Reading Tests are really not very fun. Better than Actual Reading Tests. But not by far.

Personal and Social Education: Well, apparently our teacher had to strain her neck to see us all, so she just had to move me and Georgie beside the awful, noisy boys at the back of the room. Gracious they get under my skin with their constant whispering, sniggering, swearing and loudness. Then we had to get small laptops and follow the instructions on a sheet that we were all given. But the website that we were to go on had obviously been updated recently because the instructions made very little sense. Fortunately I managed to find my way around the site by myself. First of all, I had to research a subject that I was going to take in Third Year. I chose Art & Design. Afterwards, we had to research a career that we may be interested in pursuing. I chose Writer or Author. It wasn't the best lesson in the world, but it certainly wasn't the worst.

Lunch: Lunch lines suck.

Science: Yeah. We're doing the Reproductive System now. I'm not babyish and giggly about the whole subject like most of the people in my class. I just dislike saying words such as `penis` or `vagina` aloud in front of a lot of people. Goodness, I actually cringed even typing them. Even my parents have commented on this refusal to use `rude` words aloud. They say I'm like a pensioner when it comes to anything vulgar.

Anyway, Wildpaw fainted. Properly fainted. Not her usual collapsing. A definite faint. So she was sent home. Would it be very mean to say `yey`?

History: No! Yet again, we are stuck with the student teacher. But I've realised that, since next week is a test, we only really have two (possibly even one) more weeks left with her! Now that definitely calls for a yey! Perhaps even a hooray!

Yes, it was a little disappointing. I think I just like things to be the same. I like to have our usual teacher, in our usual classroom whilst doing our usual textbook work. Good god I am quite boring. But it's true. That's how I feel. With the exception of a few teachers that I quite despise.

Today in History, we finished of our Ancient Egypt topic. Finally. We then did some revision `skills`. These skills consisted of knowing how to play a card game and a quiz game. I learnt that my desk is very wobbly, but if I discreetly shove some my jacket under one of the legs (which is around a centimetre shorter than the others) it is reasonably stable.

Bus: After very almost missing the bus because of being late out of my last lesson, I relived that day in S1 when I had to run down the Four Storey and get on the bus whilst it was moving. That was incredibly stressful.

Current Thoughts and Feelings on News: I think that the guy that shop-lifted a packet of Edam cheese from Tesco was an idiot.

I also think that Scotland should become an independent country. Perhaps it would have been better for us to have had broken away from the United Kingdom back in the 1970's, but I honestly think we should. You've all probably heard that David Cameron's trying to pressure Scotland into making our decision on whether or not we're going to break away now, instead of on the decided date in 2014 after the vote. Because he's doing this so out of the blue, he's trying to panic us all into saying that we'll stay and then he'll continue to steal our money from oil. Grrrr...
