Daily Reflection

After hours of studying and crap, I've got MOST of my homework done. School's really getting to become a pain in the arse. It's 11:30 pm already and I'm yearning to get my shower.

Today school was alright. I need to get in touch with some friends more.. or they'll start distancing away. Also I need to say hi to people I know when I see them walking past. Sometimes we would glance and smile... but it gets awkward. Well just a thought. And um, yeah I should talk more to people I don't usually talk to - just to expand my social circle and improve my speaking skills.

First debating meeting today. Blake's in my team which annoys me greatly. He's the type of person which you can like one second and hate the next. He's way too up himself and never takes things seriously. He doesn't seem to value anything too greatly and only acquaints you if he needs you. I know, sounds like an ass... but he also be funny and nice and sometimes. So um, he's wierd and persoanlly I'd prefer if I just avoided him. Nelson's also in my team... but he's waaay too formal and robot-like when he talks. Ok ok I'll stop ranting. Debating is also about working with people and improving social skills... right?

Hmm I didn't go to the soccer and bastketball meetings. Grr, probably go talk to the teacher some time. I quit volleyball this term cause the starts been busy. But if I take up soccer, badminton and basketball they'll be pretty evenly spread out next term and the 3rd term. So that should be fine.

I'm reading the book Brave New World. It's rather interesting. Kind of depicts where our society is heading in a satirically ironic way.

Hopefully to finish GLM tomorrow. But I never know.. always get so much work every day. I still have debating brain storm and brain bee revision to go through for tomorrow. Ah well.

Hmm oh also! That brain bee thing... it's a Oceania competition! Hopefully I can pass this second round and get to go to Australia. I'm pretty confident... but hey I have to work for what I want. These brain bee and debating meetings are also eating away my lunchtimes and social life though.

K, lantern festival this weekend. Might see vic. They dirty little whore he makes me angry.

Oh, and there's this new crush of mine! ARGH! Omg he's so cute. Everytime he smiles he makes me faint. He sits behind me in eco and opposite me in christian education. He's also in my PE class. OMG like he makes me melt everytime he smiles. OH GAWD GAWD GAWD. K, goal is to talk to him some time this week. Wish me luck!

Okay Rah. That's it. Gona go take my long-awaited shower now. Laterz guys!

And brave new world isn't very good

What is a brain bee? Also,

What is a brain bee? Also, good luck.

No, debating isn't about social skills. It's about showing off and having a totally legitimate reason to talk and talk and talk and talk and not have anyone stop you. Clearly.

What type of debate do?

I agree w/ raining men...

Brave New World sucks balls...it was probably the worst book I have ever read...tho it did predict a few things that may turn out to be a reality...kind of.

Mental wounds not healing, driving me insane, i'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train- the ozzman

Yeah I kinda agree brave new

Yeah I kinda agree brave new world lacked character development and a certain credibility in it. Yet, the ideas it reflects is kind of interesting and relevant. Ah well. Nothing beats Nineteen Eighty Four :)

Brain Bee is this international competition which we have ta learn facts about the brain and then hopefully if I pass round two I can get to compete further in Australia. Apparently I'm just doing it for the prizes (and Australia)... but still... I think I have a chance. Whoop.

As for debating... lol yes you can be quite right. I actually do it for the attention (although I know heaps of people hate public speaking... I know I'm just wierd like that). I like that feeling when you're up there implying the other team is a piece of crap. Yeah. And it's also the only time you can justify torture and support terrorist regimes in middle east. Hehe.

And as for the type of debate? Hmm we do all sorts of moots. It's just general formal debating. We do both prepared and impromptu debates. Yeah.
