• Oh, you're a baby!

  Today I saw my physics half-yearly paper. I got the same mark as the top person in the other class, although there are a few people in my class who got higher marks. The teacher commented about how the top person wasn't in the top class for science in year 10, and someone said that the classes weren't graded, and I mentioned how the classes were divided in the school I used to go to. The teacher then told me about the students in China, and I talked about how the systems are different, and I ended up mentioning that I'm in this year because they systems are different, and she asked me how old I am, and I told her, and she said "Oh, you're a baby!" - well, I am actually the youngest in my class, but Hannah's only 6 days older, and there are people in the year who are younger.

  Well, if a teacher at school said that, then I don't know what the people at the art centre will say if they found out about my age. I was told that I'll have to hire the gas bottle and take it home because the tutor can't keep bringing all these bottles each time (it's very dangerous), and I'll need a credit card to make a deposit. I told her that I don't have a credit card, and she was shocked - there has never been anyone in her class that doesn't have a credit card because most people do. That was totally awkward. That said, I actually feel quite awkward in that class most of the time, because it's actually a very dangerous activity, and I sometimes think that I'm making it more dangerous for everyone else.

  Well, since SOMEONE won't believe me when I told him how we put the hole in a bead, I had this photo taken as proof:
  

  While I'm at it, here's a bead that I made last time (I couldn't take it with me last week because it hasn't cooled down yet and it needs to be in vermiculite to slow down the cooling, and I didn't have a bucket to take vermiculite with me):
