Ludwig @ February 8, 2007 Today was my first “real” day back at school. I enjoyed it. PLUS we got to wear the new senior unform. Unfortuneately this year I am in none of Novia’s classes….NONE. I share almost all my classes with Zak and some of my classes with Rebecca.
First I had Maths. I felt SO stupid when I walked out the class because I struck a blank at almost half the questions we were given as revision. Plus, when I got asked to answer a question, it was the one that I looked at and feared most. I got it wrong because I made silly mistakes. Anyway, Mr. Lee is good. And so is the class, nice and quiet.
Next I went to Economics. It was OK. Mr. Sharma is also a good teacher. I don’t really have much to say about Economics yet. Nothing interesting happened.
After first break I went to Graphics where we got the traditional Graphics intro. I was given it by Mr. Achary -like ladt year - although I hope, unlike last year, we stay in his class and don’t get moved. In Graphics I misunderstood a sheet and started drawing the object as a whole instead of just copying the different views freehand. I had to start again. Woops.
Physics came next with Mr. Hart. Our class is cramped. Seriously, it amazed me how full it is compared to the other classes. Instead of 10-20 people we have over 30! Physics was the most chosen option in Year 12. WOW. The class being so full I didn’t get to sit with Rebecca, Zak and Lisa because we were too slow finding seats. Instead I sat with Lisa while Zak and Rebecca were spread out around the class in random spots between other groups.
Just before Graphics we had whanau assembly. We got told that if we wanted to become a Lead Student we had to give our application letter in by Monday. I really want to be a Lead Student. So I spent the entire afternoon on my letter. Stressing about it, changing minute details - trying to make it perfect. I’m still not happy with it but I’ve had some people read it and they say it’s good. I think I should leave it before I ruin it.
After lunch we went to the PAC. Here, Mr. Leach told us how our free periods would work. Every second Thursday we would go to Berkeley Cinemas to watch a movie. The rest of the time, we could go home during our free period. I’m lucky as both my free periods are at the end of the day. (The other is on Monday.)
That was my first day at school as a senior.
