This new monitor is great – literally.

Well, it would’ve been better if there are more correctly proportioned screen resolutions to choose from, but that’s the problem of the adaptor and not the monitor itself.

C’est les vacances! (Yes, I still like that song. xD)

As usual… I collapsed as soon as I got home after school on the last day of term.

Well, the term is over at school, but I still have two more lessons in my outside activity. Last term (even though I didn’t join any class there) it was the school that had two extra weeks, now it’s the other way around.

I hardly ever write here any more. I’m sure something interesting must’ve happened recently. Hmm, let’s see. Yesterday there was the chemistry teacher trying on someone’s jersey. It’s a medium, and it actually fits him quite well. My jersey is a large, so imagine how loose that is on me if a medium is big enough for that teacher.

Oh, and it was so foggy yesterday morning that everything outside was covered in white.

How did I manage to delete a file without ever noticing?

Or may be it’s more how did I ever notice that I deleted the file when I don’t even need it?

Or may be it should be why do I even care that it’s gone when I don’t even intend to open that file again any time soon?

I’m such a pack rat.

Actually, why am I writing about this when I have an assessment starting at 7 am tomorrow?

If anyone in my maths class sees this: do you know how to do part e? I don’t. It’d be nice to know if anyone else does. Not expecting anyone to help me, but it’d be nice to know if I’m the only one.

I totally forgot about the trackwork during the long weekend. Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem, but I had to go to the economics seminar today.

It was alright, but I was very tired.

Leaving was the hardest. On one of the streets that I walked past, the temperature was only -0.6°C, and then I had to wait for 10 minutes before the train arrived.

…and you can’t spell smart without art either. Well, I’ve printed my “You can’t spell smart without art” logo onto a t-shirt, and that’s what I wore to school today. One teacher even told me that I should’ve done art after seeing it. Many of my classmates have said that to me before, but I think it’s the first time I’ve had a teacher say that.

Assembly was cancelled, but I didn’t get to sign out early this time.

The highlight of the day was after school. I went to see the opening of the “Art Expressed” show at the Ku-ring-gai Art Centre. There’s a lot of variation in what people do for their HSC major work. There was a meaningful speech made by someone who’s teaching there too. One quote I remember the most is “You can’t have art without love”.

It was such a coincidence that I was still wearing the t-shirt that said “you can’t spell smart without art”. I got the idea for the phrase from a maths teacher (who’s not at my school anymore) who commented “What’s a smart girl like Anne doing art for?” after being told that Anne was on an art excursion. I hope that wasn’t serious.

What a good day! So what if the maths extension 1 assessment had a really difficult question in it?
