Protest... Springwood Style

okies ppl outside school wont get this at all. ok so what happened was that the school decided that theyve had enough of the students destroying the toilets (we actually used up all our funding money given by some organisation by fixing toilets). sooo they thought, "hey, the only way to solve this is by locking all the toilets in the school." "Ah yes. Pure genius... burst their bladders! burst them ALL!!!"

so yes in order for u to go to the toilet... u must take ur diary, get it signed by ur class teacher, take it to the office, show the ladies, get ur name marked off, get a key, take it to the toilet and open, do ur thang, lock the door after u come out, go back to the office, return key, sign off, go back to class.

i think by the time uve gotten to the office u would have pissed ur pants... if not that... worse. but yes that leads onto a story of a girl at skool who decided to crap in the middle of the toilet room to make a statement about the new rules. the boys came up with something different. but really its not that different. we springwooders are so creative.

Bust out

well ppl are telling to put up some more comics so here u go children. oh and for those who didnt figure it out... u click on the comics to enlarge. (as in left click... left...)

for those who saw pharan dance on stage (meaning the entire school) this is for u

Year 12.
Term 3.
exam block.
widely acclaimed as one of the most horrific experiences of the average overly-ambitious asian teenager's life.

ok so here's the thing. its year 12. crazy-time-blah-blah and i thought i would have to cut back on church, at least thats what my teachers were telling me.

teacherdude: so how u handling year 12?
me: ahh... depends on ur definition of 'handling'. *nervous laugh* its just a bit hard with assignments, church and work (forgot to mention to him that i work a whopping one shift a week at crazy's)
teacherdude: Well, maybe you should think bout missing church a little. Skool comes first!
me: *thinks* (aw man. poor guy. just when u start to wonder if teachers have lives outside skool) lol i think i'd rather quit crazy's, sir

i got why he was trying to get me to put skool as a higher priority, but seriously, sometimes when u put God first, everything else will just go according to plan. maybe not your plan, but a plan - a better plan. so i thought to myself "you know what... i'm gunna just try and go to choir, youth, church and bible study all through term 3." not just cuz i love going to church (for those who think ppl would have to be gagged, tied up and thrown into the back of a car to be taken to church) but just cuz i've seen what being faithful to God can do.

me: thinking to self (physics exam... in two days... maybe i should start learning everything the class has done this term)
i dont think i've ever been sooo unprepared for a test than those two physics tests.

knowledge and procedure.
there was one topic that the teacher told us to study that i didnt take any note of. *goes into test thinkin* (ok maybe it wont show up too much) *flips over page* no. *flips again* NO. *flips rapidly* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

scientific processing and complex reasoning (worse than it sounds, trust me.)
*reads question* ?
*reads again* ??
*reads each word for three seconds each* WHAAAAA???? i dont even understand the question!! how am i meant to answer it?? *starts wondering if drawing a simley face on the graph paper will get me points for trying*

i was just praying to God through that whole block exams. and came out thinking i did horribly but i wasnt gunna blame God for that. u dont not study all term and say "so God ive been goin to church everyweek... where's my A huh?" i was just praying that ive done my best and that i still trust Him.

but today goodole sean comes up to be and says "hey frances! you're fourth in ranking for physics!"
me: *high pitch yell* WHAT??
sena: you're fourth in ranking for physics!
me: WHATTT???
sena: you're fourth in ranking for physics! (exact same enthusiasm as the first two times)

im pretty sure i wasnt fourth before that dreadful test so it was like woooowww. thanx God ^^

and thats only one example. so many times, God has been faithful to me. and that makes me wanna be faithful to Him. and even if i was disappointed with my results... i know God will be with me, continuely loving me, guiding me and teaching me...

nothing is impossible for Him :)

QCS IS OVERRR

QCS day one: early start at skool - 7:30am
nice breakfast accompanied by some radio music and pharan screaming at the top of his lungs "IT'S OKAY PPLZ!!!! DESTRESS!!! *runs around*" cool calm and collected indeed.

so first up was the Writing Task. and ooooooooooh man. i don't think i've ever seen a room full of SPRINGWOOD students be so serious... all at the same time. u could hear a pin drop when everyone started entering the room. sure, i started to get a little nervous when they made us sit there for 15 minutes in silence but hey... with Ashley Ham showing me her hand shaking violently and Katelyn nearly passing out infront of me... i felt ok.

ok so walked out of the WT with a newfound hatred for QCS, saying that when i become the queen of the world, i'll make sure QCS is put to its firey end :) and then lunch break... the sharings. man, its amazing how many different ideas ppl can get from the stimulus 'shape'. For example, there's body image, body image aaaaand body image!

so anyways Multiple Choice... hmm they should really rename that to "Fill-In-Random-Circles-And-Hope-For-The-Best". so yeah FIRCAHFTB was over and ppl were dancing out of the room. me walking out and crushing their spirits by saying "hello... there's still tomorrow ppl." sorry guys :P

day two... breakfast again... but... something was different... *gasp* pharan wasnt screaming anymore... why? he took his rage out on an innocent brick wall. ahh yes.. i know i'll be picking up Pharan's "How to Destress" book.

anyways i thought i did ok in short response... until ppl told me that they wont mark the written stuff if its in pencil. *dies*. yeah... was a little peeved off but i managed to get that out... by giving everyone else a massage... i guess i destress when i help other ppl relax lol oh but i later found out that it'll still be marked... thank God.

then MC2 and then.. it was over!!! then the dancing and skipping began.

and now... exam block and assignments. *sigh* shall celebrate the end of term three soon my friends... soon.
luv yas lots!
