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.

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.

159
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!

One Fifty-Seven!
Today I learned that technically, since seeds are fruits "embryos," the part that we actually eat is like the uterus. Mmm... fruit uterus....
Got my presentation all ready for socials tomorrow! It's on Kiva. So... that won't be too difficult. She said we were allowed to pick something we already knew a bunch about.
Math was ok... as ok as it can be, I guess.
In film I did my presentation! I had technical difficulties though, so I was closer to 12 than 8 minutes, but everybody said it didn't seem like 12 minutes. The teacher said she didn't mind as well, because my lap top wouldn't sync properly and I had to cue everything up again on a different one.
In bio we just took a bunch of notes! Buuuuh. And we actually had a really long conversation about apples. That's why I like this teacher - she lets us engage her and each other in "debates," but really just questions and answering. Stuff like that. It's so sweet!

156 - An Average Number
Doesn't 156 seem average? I feel like it does.
Tomorrow we start preparing for 30 second presentations in socials. People are freaking out about it, and I just sort of chuckle to myself - I have a 10 minute presentation tomorrow in film. In math we did more review. It sucked - I was decent at the stuff when we learned it, but I can't remember any of it now, and she won't give us the next review sheet in line unless we completely finish the one before it - we're supposed to have this sheet finished for tomorrow. I understand 5/15 of the questions. And I have volunteering tonight, so I'm not going to have time. I'm gonna look at it after this post, but bio was heavy today as well, and my brain is gonna fall out of my head. In film we dubbed some voices in over hard to hear stuff and got the rest of the shots that we want, in order. They haven't been cut yet. Bio we started Plantae, finished the movies from yesterday, and watched a few of them.

154 and 155
I went to Karter's after school yesterday to get a final shot for film, but it turned out we didn't need it. So we have all of our footage for the final project, and it needs to be done by next Tuesday. Let's see... had a test in math yesterday. I only got 45% on it, but I really didn't understand that unit. Like, at all. It doesn't stay in my head when we look at one aspect one day, then a whole new aspect the next day. Blah, math. I don't really care - just doing my best. In film we edited. In biology we dissected our pigeon! I filmed, and they cut. It was pretty funky. Everybody around the class had different organisms, and people were holding up intestines everywhere. We got ours out, too. Mmm... innards.. In socials we had a mini debate / argument at our table, because our teacher had us writing down things in order of importance, then easiness. I said environment should be above some of the other things listed for importance, but the bottom of the easy scale. Then one girl said something about hating something to do with the environment / activists, and I didn't argue, I just simply said that I disagreed. Then she kept it up and the rest of us sort of let her go on. Then she got madder when we stopped replying because we didn't agree... I don't know. It was sort of funny.
Today I went home during spare to watch Lost, because Karter lent me season 1. It's been too long since I watched it, and I never finished the entire show anyway. In socials we got an assignment. In socials we have homework! What?! Yea, we do. In bio we tried to edit the dissection video but it was muy difficult because we were on iPads... I think our's looks okay though! We got it done, anyway. Math sucked because we started review, but I don't care. In film we did voice overs! The end.

Had a test in socials. I aced it (well, I technically don't know that yet for sure... but I did). In math we had our review, and I got it all done. During spare I did some pretty rockin' homeworks. In film we all started watching the first episode of Lost, because there were only like six people there. Karter edited some more of our film, but only one person can really do that. He stopped because he doesn't want to do it all himself cause he feels bad, so we'll get on that on Monday. I'm definitely going to borrow Lost from Karter. He has em' all. In bio we worked more on our dissection procedure. We found diagrams, defined things, looked stuff up... yup! I'm actually not going to be cutting into the pigeon, I'm going to be filming it. She needed somebody from each group to film, and I'm just as happy to do that as to dissect. Tada!
Now I have Ritz.

Day 152 of Schoolio
I just made the best smoothie. Like... better than the other ones. Most of the other ones, this is better than. GOOD gracious.
Found out that we have a test in socials tomorrow! .. wooo... I brought home the note package we need to have done - I think it'll be fine. This may be the final test for socials? I don't know. We had a pre-test in math today, and on Monday we do have our final test! This is such good news. I thought I didn't understand any of this unit (well, one lesson), and I was guessing on the pre-test, mostly, but I got a 75, so... Hey man. If I get that on the test, it'll be sweet.
During spare we went around and got money for Kiva again - last day! We also found out that one of the teachers left us a $150 cheque, and another teacher left us a $500 cheque! What! That's incredible hooray! In film we started editing - we have just one scene left. Our essays / presentations are happening on the 7th of June I believe. In bio we had a sub, so we did a work sheet, then we watched a 45 minute movie on sex. All kinds of sex! People sex, dinosaur sex, monkey sex, shark sex, bug sex, and on and on.
I had the weirdest dream last night! All the adults rounded everybody 18 and under into a huge arena to "protect them," then they started hucking bombs around and killing all the kids! I saved a bunch, and I even blew up an old woman who tried to kill me. Anyway... it was messed up.

Day 150
I like Tuesday being the first day of the week - I'm getting used to all these long weekends!
In socials today we learned about some stuff. We got an A+ on that little booklet that we did! Wahoo. She said that our class' hand-ins were the best projects she's gotten back in a few years. Go us.
In math we had a sub - she's a really good teacher! That being said, I still didn't really get it, but hey. It's almost over!
During spare I went around to classrooms for Kiva again - it's a bit awkward, but that's alright. Asking for money always is! We got about $25 though, so it was a good day. That's enough for one little loan right there.
In film, since my group was filming all weekend, we didn't really have anything to do, so she let us watch other student projects from the years. They were good! Our filming went well this weekend. Once shooting was over for the day though, on Saturday, I jumped off a rock and hurt my knee again. It wasn't even a very high rock. Karter was taking fast-frame pictures of Mikayla and I goofing around, and I jumped, and I landed, and it hurt. He has a picture of it though! Meadow jumps, jumping, landing, knee moving, Meadow crumpling. Very artistic. In bio today we had a test - I think I did decent. I filled in a crazy huge review sheet and it wasn't due until tomorrow, but that's a good thing, because now I don't have anything to do! OH! And on Monday we were filming again, and we were in a forest. I don't know if I wrote about it, but at one point, my bio teacher told us that if we licked a banana slug it would make our tongue numb. So I tried it. I licked a banana slug! Twice, because the first time didn't really work. Yes, yes I did.

148 and 149
I went to Karter's after school, and then I got home late enough to be sleepy, and that is why I didn't post. Yesterday we took a bunch of notes in bio and started a review, which I got done in class. In film we read through the scripts of our screenplays and good things like that. Math was as fine as it can be when you don't totally understand what's being talked about, and socials is usually a blur - especially the day after.
Today in socials we had a huge history final. I think I did alright... The essay I know I did well on, but I'm not sure about the actual question part. We'll see! Math, same ol' same ol'. We're on the final unit though, which means I'm almost finished. Oh my goodness. In film Karter brought 'fill-in' props so we could get a feel for them, but since we didn't really have anything else to do after we read through it again, we walked and got slurpees (we were "seeing what we would do for the film in the outdoor scenes"). In bio we watched two groups of us dissect sea stars - I didn't offer to dissect one, cause I had just had a hangnail ripped off and I was bleeding. I didn't want sea star in me. Then we started another review for a big test that's coming up after the long weekend. We had to draw our own charts. It was funny how many people had problems drawing their charts and making them all line up.
Tomorrow we start shooting the film! I have to go to stupid Karter's at stupid 9:30 AM because that's the only time I was able to get a ride. BlaahSaturdaymorning.

Day of School One Hundred Forty-Seven
So, if we get out of school on June 19th, and we have one more day off between now and then... We have eighteen days of school left! That seems like more than 25, somehow.
In socials I'm so tired lately... Blah. I don't even know.
In math she got annoyed at the kids who keep not bringing paper into class, and told them that if they continue not bringing paper, they have to clean stuff for her during lunch hour... so I need to buy some paper. During my spare today we had a code red drill AND a fire drill. So basically, up until now, if we had a real code red at any other time in the school year - we were SOL. The fire drill was rainy. I gave a guy from my bio class my review sheet, cause he wasn't there when we all got to fill them in! There isn't an assigned review sheet for the people who missed, so I just gave him mine to study. He can't have it during the test, so I'm basically just helping him study!
I went into the library to finish my big film essay today, too. I printed it off when I was done, but it turns out it isn't quite finished. I have until June 9th though. I'll probably work on it again tomorrow.
In film we... voted on which screenplays we'd work on. I'm in Karter's - no big surprise there. I think it will be good! I voted for his first, a skateboarding one second, then mine third. The skateboarding one wasn't my first choice because the people in it aren't always very reliable, and Karter wrote one of his characters after me. Mine wasn't picked to be done, but I don't mind at all! I think it was very cute, and the teacher loved it.
In bio we dissected a crayfish. It was good. We learned things, submitted things, cut things, and had an all out party!!
(that last part was a lie)
In socials I'm so tired lately... Blah. I don't even know.
In math she got annoyed at the kids who keep not bringing paper into class, and told them that if they continue not bringing paper, they have to clean stuff for her during lunch hour... so I need to buy some paper. During my spare today we had a code red drill AND a fire drill. So basically, up until now, if we had a real code red at any other time in the school year - we were SOL. The fire drill was rainy.

We have another long weekend next week. THAT'S good. My foot's asleep - which isn't so good. Anyway...
I dunno. The film kids all liked my screen play! One of the other guys was gonna start telling us his, but when he said the name a friend laughed, and he didn't say it then. I think it was going to be really deep and beautiful, and I'm sincerely bummed that he didn't go on with telling us about it. I think the teacher will make him present it tomorrow though, with the other people who didn't get a chance to do theirs today. I bet it will be super sweet and we'll all want to do it. That would be classic.
I got 100% on a bio test. We were allowed to have a review sheet that we filled out, but still. I got 100%. I'm getting an A in that class now. Wooo.
This long weekend I went up to the Sunshine Coast with the youth leaders from the group that I volunteer with. We had such a great time! I kayaked, I saw some snakes, one of us broke his toe, my roomie got the flu or something all Sunday night (guh), and we missed our ferry so we had to wait for a few hours! Haha, such fun times.
We turned off all the lights in this huge massive house (like, twelve rooms. It was massive) that we were staying in, turned on a really old and broken record player (it played really slow and horrifying), and tried to make the It person crap their pants every time they came close. Me and this one guy kept finding each other first, so we kept having to be It. After I found him AGAIN, I decided to actually hide in a sweet spot. I curled up at the very head of my bed, underneath, and propped a pillow against me. They came in and felt around under the beds and even turned the light on by mistake at one point and I looked one of them in the face, but they didn't find me. Then the guy broke his toe and I came out so I didn't feel like a jerk.

I had a test in every block today. Well, in film it was SORT OF a test. We watched our silent film project. It went well! One cut of music didn't work properly and kind of messed up the ending, but we can fix it before we submit it anywhere, or any parents see it, so that's good!
In socials the test was NUTS hard. We had matching, short answer, and two essays. It was open book, but even so, I had to cut my second essay short because the bell went. Good grief.
In math I only got a 61, but I think my grades overall have gone up two percent! So that's decent! In biology she let us have this sweet review page for the test as a reward for whoever was there today - so people who missed today don't get it on Tuesday - so there. I think I did super decent on that - which will be nice. It'll bring my percent up. The term is almost over! I'm so excited!
I'm going to the Sunshine Coast for the long weekend (well, this long weekend. There's three. I don't know why we make such a fuss about this one)!

My partner finished our project today. I glued more stuff... and tried to contain my excitement. We have a test tomorrow, and both times I asked her she just sorta mumbled. So now! I don't know what the test is on. Doh!
Math test tomorrow... At least I'm not the only one who has hardly any clue of what's going on. My friend who sits behind me doesn't, either. I just don't think the math lady is a very good teacher - straight up.
During lunch I stood by the Kiva booth again. Then the other girl and I went around and got people to donate change. We got like thirty bucks, so that's alright! That's a loan and a bit, already.
In film we kept watching Midnight in Paris, which we started yesterday, and I actually really like it!! It makes me feel intellectual. Verrrry intellectual.
In bio we finished our notes and started review. We have a test tomorrow, as well. Three tests. Yes that's right. At least they're all BEFORE the long weekend, which I won't study during. She also gave us a pop quiz of 'spot the mollusk' and we were all hesitant, but then she played 'Under the Sea' on Youtube, and we wrote down all of them that we saw. She's such a cool teacher! Really great.
After school I went to Karter's house with two other friends. I played Marco Polo for the first time! Yup... and we broke one of their pool surfboards, but that's ok. The break wasn't where I was standing, so it wasn't me! Besides, they weren't real surfboards...
Now I go to babysit.

I cut up a squid today, and then I ate some squid. Except that when the foods class came to our bio class, we had to clean up our dissection. Obviously. When we went into the foods class, they had us helping - that's fine. But they were telling us to do things and not giving us any instructions at all, and at the end they made us clean up again! And I saw a few of them not cleaning. I don't know. Blah. At least we got squid. The kid that we got stuck with though, I'm pretty sure he's a bit slow. He kept dropping knives and running into us and.. dropping knives. Then we offered him the plate of squid when it was all cooked (which we did), and he definitely took it all. Oh well.
Now I think it's beach time!
