Had cross country yesterday at MacRitchie - think it has to count as the best X-country I've ever had so far. We walked together as a class for the entire route along with the other people/classes who also wanted to slack. So we all brought up the rear, strolling at a pace usually reserved for walking down Orchard or for grazing cows whilst the Woodlands and Commonwealth secondary school kids overtook us with complete ease - though looking very mudsplattered. Laura, Ian and Kelly brought along their handphones and began smsing and calling people in the middle of jungle (hah.yea you still get reception there.) while the rest of us started gossiping.
Me: *halfway through* Eh...how any kilometers have we run already?
Sherman: None. We never ran what.
Came back after about 45 minutes and the rest of the school was already cheering. Met up with Gwen, Farrah, Jermaine and Yingtse and tried to join in the cheers but we didn't know half the words so just ended up clapping and screaming in odd places. After Gwen and I concluded that Thoburn stood no chance where the cheer competition was concerned, we went to get Milo, made our way up the hill, sat there and started singing the school song over and over again.
...And Thoburn actually swept all the championships in the end. ...Including cheer!! Whoo!!
Mr L's demanding that all Geog students get involved in the geog quiz AC is organizing for Secondary schools on valentine's day. If we don't want to help in any specific area then we'll have be the "fake audience" on the day itself and just clap and smile at the appropriate moments which is totally boring, so John, Kelly and I are thinking of volunteering to mark the answer scripts.
Mr L's planning to rig the whole quiz in favour of RI - he's already sent them a "sample" question with the answer! He's planned everything out; TCHS won last year so he's going to give them a grand entrance to put added pressure on them and also to make them swell so RI'll have a better chance of getting through the first round. He says markers will also have to "mark wrongly" :|
Went to watch Rashomon with my class yesterday. It was really cool. Haha we need more plays like that!
Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
