HIGHLIGHTS OF IB

while stuck in limbo waiting for dinner - waiting for exams - waiting for myself to stop procrastinating -

I decided to compile a list of my personal highlights of IB. However, this is not limited to academic highlights (in increasing order of highlightness):

5. unseens
4. maths portfolio (generally acknowledged as one of the major highlights of ib)
3. TOK essays (these were so great)
2. all music exams
1. eco classes

But seriously, I actually did enjoy IB quite a lot. Who knows why. Maybe it's because of:

- battle of the bands
- IB choir
- the ib vs vce battle in yr 12 video
- HL english classes
- composition recordings (strangely fun)

But the best part of IB would have to be:

experiencing the amazing thing that is IB-bonding. Not ionic, nor dispersion, but covalent; electrons of knowledge/aid were shared among atoms that would not break apart at low temperatures (but possibly at high ones), and which would always create large amounts of heat while being broken. I will miss the IB community as I plunge into a sea of delocalised electrons. Good luck everybody!

EDIT: can't stop listening to chocolate love for some reason..very weird

WONGEDIT: I have edited this blog so it now has two levels.

more endings

Despite what has been written and inferred by certain people, this blog is not ending. However (as I realised recently) Yr 12 is.

HOW DISTURBING.

As i checked my plc email I noticed that "this friday form assembly will be put aside for a preliminary locker cleanup". My initial reaction was ??!?!!!! and then "oh dear! maybe we will not have lockers next term!" and then "oh dear, we are actually leaving plc after all...how disturbing".

I don't know about other people's feelings towards their schools but I am actually quite sad about leaving plc. As wensi often points out (sneeringly, like snape) I am a Junior School Girl and have actually been at plc since year 3...ie for TEN YEARS (not as long as viv/sav though). 

sigh. and, like, there were no guys. not that i am sexist, but I highly doubt i will experience guyfreedom again. unless I go to an all girls' college. or teach at a girls' school. or..er anyway, yes my point is that a special time is almost over. i am sure it had its flaws and things but i will miss it too.

my music recital is over, too - i feel a bit stunned. and angsty august is nearly over, too.

gosh. i cannot believe this.

the world is exploding! (slightly)

sport, again

We had house sport yesterday and somehow i ended up playing soccer. This was actually quite fun surprisingly enough, despite my lack of skills. Sadly my house captain seemed to be unable to understand that i actually lacked these skills.

HC: "Linh, run! Run and kick the ball! Go, Linh, go! *squeal*"

...as you can see, she also seemed to keep forgetting my name.

Later I attempted to kick the ball as it was coming towards me. Sadly my foot went over the ball and hit..the air. This was unfortunate, but not unexpected.

HC: "Linh, I saw that! you were deliberately trying not to kick the ball!!!"

I have never been accused of this before in such a serious tone.

Katherine confessed to me today. She told me that she would "turn homo" for me. Well, now we know the reason behind all of her boob-punching. Hah! I believe that her verbal attacks on my "boobies" are in fact, fuelled by her intense desire for me.

I think i like this word too much...intense. : (

ib nightmares

Last night i had a shocking dream. It was set at school and we seemed to be getting back some sort of results. At first i thought it was just our midyear exams or something, but as the dream went on, it became increasingly clear to me that it was in fact our final IB results, except with uh, details of the courses we got into.

I opened mine and i couldn't understand the code i think i was not reading it properly, so i was just like, oh okay : ( So I started to walk around and ask other people what they got. I remember that i asked viv.

me: viv, what did you get into?
viv: i didn't get into anything!!!

i don't remember my reaction LOL yes um

then i uh, went over to zoe's group, and zoe was like, i didn't get into anything either, and then tanji kept talking about nothing, and joan got really upset because nobody was listening to her, they were all listening to tanji. o____O yes i do not know

finally i opened my results and i saw that i got um 9 results i do not know why. i suppose it could have been cas/ee but all of them were over 3, so i am not sure. They were: 7, 4, 6, 7, 5, 7, 4.

My first thought was: omg! what is that 4! it must be eco. But i couldn't find out what subjects they were! it was extremely distressing.

I then looked down the paper, where it listed the courses one had uh, got into. On my paper there was only one:

PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Course details: In this course, students learn skills such as running and jumping, as well as basic coordination.

At that point my dad came into my room and woke me up.

WHAT A HORRIFYING DREAM !

NB: for some reason i don't remember anyone else being in that dream except for Wong, who was kind of following me around as i went to talk to viv and so on, then provided a comforting presence as i read the details of my future in physical education. : (

An excellent conversation. If you are interested in the puzzle hunt, please notify me/harry. Here is some excellent food.

Yummy, isn't it? You can 'enjoy' this food. I'm sure you can, at this location:

You won't see any of these people there:

I saw something better than this but i didn't have my camera with me....

I was in the car driving on the freeway, looking up at the clouds. There were clearly two layers of clouds, one more dark and brooding layer, while a higher layer was on top, closer to heaven. The sun shone through the top layer, and as we drove under the darker (bottom) layer, the perspective gave the impression that the dark layer was blanketing us.

Dad didn't notice but I did. I thought to myself, 'I should take a picture to capture this'...but i couldn't. A lack of camera, you see.

There was a much more three dimensional quality to the clouds that time than I had ever seen before.... Unfortunately i could not make any metaphorical links with this because nothing has happened recently which could connect to this.... perhaps the way school is a barrier to reaching what you truly want, the skies above? I do not know. Yes , ying, i am stealing your well used 'do not use a contraction for empasis' ability.

Something else I enjoyed today was the tristam town instrumental...here is a youtube link to it. It is from the second Diablo game, although it has featured in both games. It was written by Matt Uelmen.

Also I enjoyed the song "Temple of Shadows" by Angra. Youtube it or something i cbf getting a link.

Why am I being so weird in my blog post today? I don't know....I thought I had a cold again this morning but now it seems much better. Another excuse could be the 6 SACs (School Assessed Coursework...s) next week. I don't even feel depressed.... more distressed, with an impending sense of doom....a driving force which helps me do some work.... some work.... : (. I would work much better without VCAA (victorian certificate of my ass) on my back.

That reminds me, I was doing this physics question today and i was extremely uspset that I didn't get it. It made me, as commonly said, 'ragequit'. I may ....not rage quit, but tiredquit now, as this post is far too long for anyone to read to the end....er.. i mean i'm tired, i'm sure my writing is the purest form of bliss that humankind has ever witnessed.
