I remember getting a credit for the economics competition last year. This time, I got a distinction!

Today in maths the teacher was giving out the reissued assessment marks on a sticky label, and they didn’t peel properly. It turned out that they were printed on the wrong side, as in on the backing and not the sticky paper. Look carefully at the picture, the text is on the backing paper. I pointed it out to the teacher even though it wasn’t very important, and she said “Just shows how some people can’t print. Guess who printed these!”, and somehow it was obvious enough who she was talking about. Let’s just say I’ll bring the label to roll call tomorrow. xD

Wait, that almost sounds as if I’m looking forward to roll call. How awkward. Roll call is always awkward in Booralee group 2. I don’t look forward to roll call at all.

The most special thing that happened today was the economics excursion. It was to the conference between the RBA people and House of Representatives economics committee in Tattersalls Cafe in the city. Me and the others from my school actually arrived late, so there weren’t enough seats for us to sit together. Somehow, I ended up sitting right at the front, behind the governer of the RBA. It was both a good thing and a bad thing.

As you can see from this picture, the worst thing about sitting right at the front was that there was a bright light right in front of me. It was also quite awkward because the person on my left was using his phone to record what the speakers said, and then there was someone else on my right too, and I had my vest with the very full pockets so I had to try to keep curled up. It was even worse when it was time for a break, as the person right in front of me dropped his chair when he was getting up, and guess where it fell! Right on my knees. Overall, it was a very boring excursion. Sure, I could hear everything from where I was sitting, but it’s mainly things that I didn’t really understand anyway, and it’s not really going to be much help for the HSC. I had a feeling that the photographers weren’t very happy about me sitting right behind Mr Macfarlane. They must’ve been trying to get him in the photos while not having me in it.

In the evening when I got home, I realised that there were people filming it as well, and guess what, it was on TV, and I even saw myself peeking out from behind Mr Macfarlane.

It was a very boring excursion, but how often do you get to go somewhere like that?

First of all…
Happy birthday to Leighann!

The trials are over! Yay! The physics exam was another one where I had an hour left at the end. The maths ones were the ones that I had to write the whole time and still not finish. If only I can have the extra time in physics for maths instead… xD I picked out another misplaced apostrophe in this paper. I even giggled right there. I’m sure someone caught my giggle. Oops!
