I got to the school at 9 for that project, and my final was at noon. We filled out the big gym with tables and students. Everybody got their own table, and we wrote! I was against the far wall. I think I did decently... we had multiple choice, then two essays to write. I knew the topic for the first essay pretty well, but for the second one I had to do some quick thinking. It wasn't really something we covered in class - it was sort of just going on what I already know. I did better than my friends, though (we went for sushi afterwards). They said that they didn't get full paragraphs on the last essay because they couldn't think of anything - but I did.
My first year of public school is over!
Back to the school in an hour, now. Good.... good times.

164, and the final. 165. And the day after.
I don't blame me for forgetting to come on here. My brain was squish. Too many everythings.
Well, I got my Bio Final done on the Monday, so yesterday I didn't have to go to bio. I think I did really well. In socials we just reviewed on Monday, and on Tuesday we did a mock exam. I got an 80 on it, so I feel fine. That provincial is tomorrow. In math we just reviewed on Monday as well, but on Tuesday she put in Finding Nemo for those of us that were caught up with everything. It was actually fantastic. Today we had our math provincial. I'm relatively sure that I passed it. Even if I didn't, I still pass the class (I did the math - ha!). In film we had film day on Monday, so parents and friends came to watch what we did. Our final film was super hilarious, everybody loved it. On Tuesday we had our final exam, and I'm sure I did well on it. She gave us forms as well, and I took home the form for Socks, filled it out, then brought it back to her today. By now Socks is officially entered into the film festival! That's pretty exciting. We'll see if we win! Our school has one twice in a row, and both times have been Karter's brother. Can we keep up the legacy?
So yup. Those were the final days of my first year of public school. I have another provincial tomorrow, and then I keep going to the school everyday until the 27th for that project Kyle and I are doing with the councillors... but after tomorrow, I'm officially done.

162, 163
I guess I forgot to post yesterday! Huh! I honestly thought that I did... I also can't remember what I did yesterday... That's finals for you.
Today was year book distribution! I actually have quite a few pictures in there. In socials we... reviewed. Math we had a mock test (which I passed, thank you very much). Film we started reflection journals / gave feedback about final films / signed year books. Bio we reviewed. Today was probably the first day that I just didn't want to be in biology. Ahh well.
The year books were a gong show! Well, not for me, because I'm smart, but for everybody else, totally. The line opened at junior lunch and went until senior lunch was over. Magically, I have a friend on yearbook, and she told me if I lined up at the end of my spare, I'd be first when junior lunch started, and not even too late for math.
I was the second kid to get my yearbook as the line steadily grew behind me, and I was early for class. During senior lunch nobody was really trying to eat - just signing! So far, two entries in my book from friends have made me get a lil' teary. Or at least glossy eyed.

Day 161 of Schooling
In socials we had a test. I sort of forgot it was a test, so I guess I did pretty well. There was an essay, but I got it down fine with heaps of time. We got a HUGE review package though, and I don't know any of it. Oh, that's a lie. I knew 2.5 of the answers.
I wrote an essay during spare. I filmed a few people for the project for the councillor. She apparently wants my friend and I to go to another school as well and talk to a few teachers there. In math we just did more review. My goodness. But I worked it out! Even if I totally bomb the provincial (as in, get a 0, which I won't), I still pass. Whooo! I did it. In film we finished the movie! I was going to help the teacher and a few other kids with something and let my group do the final editing, but they run in and are all, 'Meadow! We need you to do it! It's all sound stuff!' So somehow, I added in every voice over, took out the audio and replaced it, synced it all up, and normalized the volume of the voice overs and songs, all in 40 minutes. YUP. I DID. I was literally out of breath when I was done. My fingers were flying! But I did it. In bio we did review questions - I got mine done. Yaay. Now I only have that big socials essay to work on.

I have a wedding shower to go to tonight.

160
I wasn't gonna go to school today because I was really dizzy and stuff when I woke up. But I'm a trooper, so I did anyway. Just review in socials and math. During lunch I first had a Kiva meeting - we've started to lend. Very cool! And after the Kiva meeting I had a councillor meeting to work out a project she's having me do for one of the other teachers. That meeting went into period 4 but my teacher didn't care. Our film was getting edited by three people, so she let us go out and start filming students for the project (I just have to get them saying some nice words and stuff). In bio we had a sub so we watched a movie. It was of a hippo getting dissected. It had 350 pounds of food in it's stomach! Duuude. They have really thick skin, too. It showed four lionesses trying to take this one hippo down, with their claws and everything, but the hippo just kept running. It didn't even bleed. Impressive.

NOW there's six days left. Apparently we have to stay in until the 19th. The days are starting to drag on - I'm sort of sick of final projects and assignments.
We have an essay due on Friday for Socials about the environment and stuff - that's awesome. Writing about that is easy for me. In math we had a mock-test today, and we're supposed to do it tomorrow as well, but I got 58 of 60 questions done today - no big deal. I spent lunch editing our final film, because all of a sudden our carefully calculated editing time isn't enough time, and we have to get it done on Wednesday. Not a huge problem, because nobody else has even started filming yet, really, but it's still worrying. Tomorrow I have a Kiva meeting - we're actually deciding who gets the money, so that'll be fun! In film we watched the last of the presentations. In bio we did some notes, watched some fun videos, and did a tiny assignment. Yup.

One Fitty-Eight
Six more days of school left! And I have no homework this weekend. I don't know how I managed that, but it's amazing. This morning I decided to set my alarm a bit later so I could get a few minutes of sleep, and when it went off I realized I hadn't done homework that was due first block. So I did that while I ate my breakfast. I hurried to school, and then oh no! I forgot to make lunch. So I went home during spare and made a sandwich.
We had our presentations during socials today. Before the class I went up to her and asked her that since I was only 2% below an A, would it be worth it to rewrite any tests. She said she'd make an exception for me and we'd discuss tests on Wednesday. Well, when I started my presentation, I didn't need any notes or anything, and I said everything necessary. When I sat down she said, 'Meadow? You just got your A.' Haha, woo! In math I got all of the review for today done as well as yesterdays - yay! In film we kept on watching presentations - they were all good today! In bio we went around in groups of two deciding if plants were monocots or dicots by properties they had, and identifying their roots and stems through microscopes and stuff. At one point one of the guys turned and asked me something. The conversation went on, and some other people got involved, and so when I added something I wasn't totally paying attention, and I called him by the wrong name. He looks at me and is all, 'Friends off! Nope!' but then he said he'd forgive me on Monday, so I'm safe, haha!
