Hello all.
I wasn't actually planning to post my H.S.C. results. I have now had my results for a while and am starting to feel comfortable with them. I don't feel they are that bad to embarass me, and I don't feel they are that good to out others down, and I am comfortable with people knowing, so...LUCKY YOU!!! =P


Snaps to Kyle T. and Emily H. for coming top in Industrial Technology and Community and Family Studies (respectively) in the state and thus for being on the cover of the Newcastle Herald and for being on the NBN news.Way to go guys!!! You make Merewether High very proud and show the true meaning of being a Merewethrian. ^_^

And also, congratulations to all who completed their H.S.C. It was huge and you did it. Also, thanks to all who posted their marks. Our dear MHS has seemed to have done very well indeed!=D

And also, today we received our UAI reults.

So congratulations to all those people who worked hard and have now been rewarded with a UAI they are happy with.
To those who are not happy with their UAI: it's okay - there's more to life, much, much more.
To Ellie G. - congratulations on being on the cover of the Weekend Herald (and in it).
Congratulations to all those Merewethrians who got 90 or more in 10 (or more) of their units - all 15 of you whose names I saw listed for your outstanding results in the paper! I am so proud of all of you!
Well done to all those who got their name on the "top achievers" list - I am wading through it, highlighting those people who I know. I am currently up to 'D'.
I hope to see al my Merewethrian pals on Monday at school - be there and be square! How hip! =P (c'mon guys - if we can't be called squares now, when can we be?). I look forward to it.

And now, a special addition, just for because I really think it's great that so many people are sharing how they went.... *drum roll*....











So, yes, I am quite satisfied. =D I can probably get into the double degree if I change my mind again =P

I may have been too busy to tell you that I was leaving for a week's holiday in Tamania, but here I am to tell you that I am back now.

Everything was so busy while I was away and I am thankful for that - it made me realise just how important it is to be still adn to know God, whoever that may be to you.

So I am packing my room up at the moment, as soon I am off to Casino for Christmas. Then when I come back I am swapping rooms with my mother, as I will then have the bigger room, and she is moving out all together in about 16 weeks.

So, busy busy busy, really.

Okay, so here I am sorting through my old books, and I am finding some odd and amusing things. I shall share them with you:

There is an odd, wobbly kind or writing which I find randomly cropping up in pages of different books in year 9. They say things such as "can't anybody hear me?", "I don't know what I'm doing!" and "busted". I think I may have go in trouble just before I wrote that last one =P (Gemma? In trouble? From a TEACHER??? Well, yes folks, it did happen - and until year 10 it wasn't as uncommon as you may think. I wasn't school mad until year 10).
I have in my year 9 Math book the name Tobias written in flowery writing. Who in the world is Tobias?! =S
I found a math papaer from year nine in which I got 8/20
It scares me that I only remember learning this in year 11, yet the teachers said it was from year 8 and 9 and I just found the proof that indeed it was taught to us back then.... =S
It's scary that my year 9 writing is neater than it is now.
I remember drawing up and filling in that table of shapes in math in year 9!
The edges of the excersice sheets from math are yellowing. Does that make you feel old?
Forget the flowery writing - this one is in code and has a whole garden drawn around it!
Oh dear - I must have been bored - I'm writing in vertical and horizontal strokes only....
oops - just found a math test from year 10 with 14/40. It's understandable why I taped the corner down so no one could see it =P (Just for the record, the one just before it I had got 39/40, so I am redeemed).
Yet another of my brighter moments in year 10 math...

Ahh well, here is a thunder storm, so I'd best be off the computer. I have completed sorting through one draw out of 5.

Why does it hurt so much to throw out old math question sheets...?

Well - schoolies is well and truly over now. I can hardly believe that a week and a half has already passed, but then again, it feels like forever ago.I had a fantastic time on schoolies - Dreamworld, Bellingham Maze, grocery shopping, the Corpse Bride, shopping sprees, dinner out at a resteraunt, Eumundi Markets, the beach, tennis, crazy yet endearing bus drivers, old friends, a creepy elevator, an insane game of pool, building a chocolate house. Really, I am convinced that I have the best friends in all the world.
The Formal was just over a week ago now. It was so much fun. I hadn't enjoyed year 10 so much, so I wasn't expecting a lot - that may have been why I found it so fun this time! Pity that they assume you like quiche is you are a vegetarian though...=S Oh well, if eating quiche is my worst complaint about the formal then that is wonderful! I adore the interior of the Civic theatre - it's so beautiful. And may I just say for the record two things:

• The locomotion is fun^1000000000 to dance to, esp. when the floor is prectically empty.
• Long livew the Pat Dance.

But now I must go and sort through my school books from the last 6 years....*gulp*
