  • Look at this!

    Guess what, it’s another thing that I made.

    My latest creationThis is what I’ve been planning since before the holidays started. It didn’t take me too long to come up with this idea. The idea of making a necklace / bracelet that looks like a Möbius strip originally came from the time when I brought my DNA bracelet to maths class and the teacher thought it looked like a Möbius strip when I asked her if it reminds her of anything. Well, this one is really intended to look like a Möbius strip.

    As a bracelet...See, if you wear it as a bracelet, it looks like a Möbius strip. It says “PLEASE TURN OVER”, but of course, you can’t turn it over because Möbius strips are one-sided. It’s a bit too long, so the letters don’t always stay in place, but there is a reason why it’s done like this.

    As a necklace...This can also be worn as a necklace. When you cut a Möbius strip (which has one half-twist) along the middle, you get a longer and thinner strip with two half-twists. This, when worn as a necklace, is the strip with two half-twists. I think this looks more special when worn as a bracelet because that way you can actually see that it’s supposed to look like a Möbius strip. The idea that this can be worn either as a bracelet or a necklace is good as an idea, but I’ll have to say that it doesn’t work very well.

  • Just another one like this…

    First of all…
    Happy birthday to Ashley and Joyce!

    Hey, that’s the second post in a row that started like that. Well, I don’t have time to make anything this week because of the half-yearlies, but I have something planned. Actually, I’ve started on it, but I don’t have time to finish it off… At least it’s not another “finishing what I start vs. an assessment task” scenario.

    he exams last week weren’t too bad. The worst of all was the English listening task because we all crowded up in the stairway of ILC level three and it got noisy, and if you’re reading this you probably know that noise from crowds make me nervous. The chemistry task was another one where I had half an hour left, and this time I almost fell asleep.

    I’ve been told that I sound very happy even though there are exams. Well, the first week wasn’t too bad. One exam per day and then I have the rest of the day to myself. What’s not to be happy about that?

    Of course, the worst is yet to come. Maths extension 2 on Monday, and then economics and physics on Tuesday. It’d be great if it’s physics before the other two. At least I’ll probably have some time to sleep at the end. xD
