School this week and last and urgh my brain...
Brain drain. I'm so tired. Played pictionary with KK and Mena today, almost fell asleep halfway. Wth right?Serves me right too. I've had it pretty easy for the first half of this prac, *Yvonne had all her lessons planned out for the unit already. But today's test marked the end of the unit and we're diving straight into an unknown topic tomorrow. Spent a good hour today putting together a lesson and worksheet based on the work the year 10s had done last year. So tomorrow's lesson is kind of like a revision but also to refresh them on the terminology that they will require for this next unit and their assessment piece.
At least with this unit, we get to go on an excursion, two in fact. Not far from school though. xD Just the creeks 50m down from school, another 200m the other way.
Amazing how kids think that teachers are supermen and superwomen. The year 12s had a Math A test yesterday, and this morning when I stepped into class?
"Miss, have you marked our test yet? Miss, did I pass?"
Thank god I decided to mark their tests before I did their assignments. @@ Because I know they all want their tests back before their assignment grades.
Y12 Math A test - check.
Y12 Math A assignment - uhhhh...
Y10 Science core test - marking tomorrow.
Also to my friends who've been waiting for me on MSN.
I'm really sorry but I have to call it a night tonight.. (10pm) and go to bed now. So excuse me while I tuck myself into bed so I can wake up at 5am tomorrow to do the Y10 Science test so I can begin marking them. T_T
Such is the life of a teacher.
2nd prac's crazy this time round. xD

Besties outing
Ever since Sandie popped by down under for her 2 week holiday, we've been having tons of fun! :D Ekka on Friday, shopping at South Bank Saturday and Movie World on Sunday! Check out my piccies!We thought this scene was pretty funny. xD
Ain't it pretty?
This girl looked so unhappy after the lady was finished with her face. xD
Sightseeing brought us to the museum!
Grocery shopping. xD
I got a tat. :P Which btw my students somehow managed to spot on Monday. @_@ (It's fake btw. I want a real one now though. LOL!)
OMG! Ghostly apparition in the kitchen! OAO
No I'm not day dreaming.. I'm checking the train timetable. >_>
On the way to the Gold Coast..
Harry Potter cosplayers, check out these wands.
Mirrors are your best friend.
This is us after the Wild West Falls. I ducked down at the last minute so I wasn't as wet. The guy behind me wasn't so lucky. Hurhur. I wasn't there to block the water from hitting him. MWAHAHA.
Batman is SO hot!! <3 That's the Dark Knight version by the way.. Which means Robin lost his job. Awww.
Shootout!
Oops..
My very own Supermarket!
YAy!!
WOOH! Superheroes!
Daffy!!!
Bugs and Tweety!!
Shaggy and Scooby!
Shrek!
Sylvester! <3 I bet a thousand bucks that's a guy underneath. Because the kids next to us were screaming for him to come over, we screamed and waved and he changed his direction over to us to grab a photo. Hurhurhur. I gotta adjust the lighting for that one first though.

Facebook: WOOH!
So our lecturer set aside 30% of our assessment to be in the form of a quiz yeah? And he's a lazy bastard who can't be bothered to write up 40 questions and randomly select 30 for each student right?WOOHOO. Facebook: Opens the door to a new era of cheating in quizzes.
Because we have 3 attempts at opening the quiz, some kind soul sacrificed one of their attempts to bring us the questions.
Later on, some other generous person shared their answers with everyone!
And finally, another smart and generous person vetted the answers and gave everyone a chance at a perfect score.
HUZZAH!!! 30 OUT OF 30 BIATCH!
xD
So that leaves 1 piece of assessment done, 2 more to go.
My Science CF unit plan is now sitting at 28,970 words and 26 pages. That still does not include the lesson plan that Jessica has just sent to me. Our unit plan was meant to be part group work, part individual. However, one of our dear group members was such a lazy bum that we decided to remove him of all other group work that had yet to be done. Bastard can go do it himself.
Needless to say, Ilana, Jessica and I will have a lot of bad things to say in our reflection of the unit plan. *snort*
So that's 99% finished, just need to put Jess' stuff in and speak with them about how we'll be submitting it.
And then YAY. My Science STA assignment that's due Sunday night 12:00am which is sitting at 0% completion. :S
T_T I hate you Tony. Why'd you have to make the assignment so fucking big.
In other news, I got a paper cutter for free! Not the penknife type, but the one where you slide the paper into position and you move the thing up and down to slice through it? :D
Haha.. I love Woolworth's policy about the customer is always right. Should the price on shelf be different to the price on the system and the customer points it out, they get it for free!
Damn, maybe I should have grabbed two then. xDDDD
I can go crazy cutting paper in straight lines now.
AFTER I FINISH MY FUCKING ASSIGNMENT!!!!
