Learning this week

This week I have learned:

1. Some maths information
2. Information about the 1936 Berlin Olympics
3. A small amount of info about the Rainbow Warrior
4. The main periods in the Evolutionist Theory of natural history

The Berlin Olympics will make a difference by giving me information so I can complete my 'Does Sport Connect Or Divide?' presentation. Everything else will not be helpful until I have more information.

What's going on?

Hello again. Once again, sorry about the big post gap. These past few weeks have been pretty good for me. My hockey team's in the semis this evening, and I'm REALLY NERVOUS! I did well in the speeches (at least, better than last year). My teacher told me he was really pushing for mine and mine would've made it, but UNFORTUNATELY it was far too long. 7 minutes... WHEN SPEAKING SLOWLY! But I went to the finals for entertainment. My friends Andrew and Anna tied first for the Yr 8's, so I'm happy. Did a fixture 2 days ago. We didn't win either of them, but we played much better than in the second one than the first one. Both schools were girls only. I was aggressive and shut people down, which is what we were aiming for, so more happy. I've got four lines in the school Opera, Half A Sixpence, which hasn't been performed in NZ before. LOTS OF HAPPY! Schoolwork is getting a bit tight, but I'll manage. Little bit now, little bit later and BOOM! All done! So yeah, school's good, I'm good, family is good, and everything is turning up roses.

Till next time (which HOPEFULLY will be a much shorter gap away).
