Re-reading "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" on 9/11. As if I needed any more symbolism with this text.

Trying to teach yourself maths straight from the text book is like trying to teach a starfish how to grow a brain.

Okily dokily!

Little rant about Drama.

Last night was my very first ensemble performance in Drama EVER, and I'm pleased to say it went really well! There were a few stuff-ups but that's live theatre and that's how it goes down.

SO PROUD!

Our topic was "The Black Death" and our opening scene was hilarious! We were dressed up as rats - cabaret rats - equipped ears, tails, sparkly pink top hats and bow ties.

Yeah, we're that cool.

So we sang acapella (not pro, just you know the essential stuff) parody version of "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra... Only we sang "The Plague, the Plague"

So imagine this: instrumental intro of it is like how Martie and Alex sang it in Madagascar.

If you don't understand: le clicky HERE

Here's our version:

Start spreading the plague,

It's coming for you,

You will be in the death pit,

by tomorrow noon.

I want to wake up,

In the morning but that won't come.

Those fleas will bite at your feet!

Bite at your buuuuuuummmmmmmm!

DA DA DA DA DA

Us vagabond rats,

Are coming your way!

You don't wanna be a part of it,

The Plague, the Plague!

If we can make it spread,

Then they will all be dead!

C'mon come spread the Plague, the Plague!!!

Anywho, pretty much it was the bomb and I really really hope to get some good marks for it! =D

Deuces!

Doing some ATAR calculations thanks to le internet.

Okay, so to get into the uni course of my dreams (a psychology course through a bachelor of science at Melbourne University) I need to get at least an ATAR score of 78, so long as I get a scholarship as well. Which I should, as I'm a rural student. And if I don't, then I'll write a 10 page essay on how rural and disadvantaged students are ignored  whilst the elite of society are given preference to education, further dividing the classes of society, hence ruining economical, political and social growth in our country. And if that doesn't convince them to get me a scholarship, then they don't deserve me anyway.

WHICH IS WHY I've been looking at the study scores I need in my subjects to get a minimum ATAR of 78. and I've been optimistic in the estimated raw score, since I'm hopeless at Methods and average at Chemistry.

Yep, don't really know why I'm telling you, but hey! Here it is

English Score: 37

Drama Score:  35

Biology Score: 32

Psychology Score: 33

Mathematical Methods (CAS) Score: 25

Chemistry Score: 25

Your results

key: Subject Desc. Raw score Scaled score

English: Compulsory. 37 --> 36

Drama: Primary 4 35 --> 33 

Biology: Primary 4 32 --> 32.4

Psychology: Primary 4 33 --> 31 

Mathematical Methods (CAS): 10% inc. 25 --> 30

Chemistry: 10% inc. 25 --> 29

Year: Aggregate --> ATAR / ENTER

2011: 138.3 --> 78.25

2010: 139.4 --> 77.85

2009: 140 --> 79.85

2008: 139.4 --> 77.80

The amazing feeling when I finish all my chemistry homework and then go on to solve a math methods equation all by myself. Damn this is a good feeling.

Leaving for study camp in 9 hours.

I won't be back until Friday, so be prepared for an onslaught of queue posts and if I don't get back to any messages, its because school camps seem to think that taking away the internet will make me "bond"  with my classmates.

Ta ta my lovelies, I'll miss you!!!

It was such a stupid idea to start writing fanfiction when I'm going into my final year of highschool.

Why must VCE be so difficult and time-consuming? Now I'll never get anything done.
