“you keep me wide awake and waiting for the sun”

Not a bad day today, really.

Had  a free in first period. Had a little meeting with Ariana, Linda and Sabrina, where we revised some of the maths that we've done in class thus far, and talked about Mr. Terry. We decided that we're going to have a class meeting, so we can pin point exactly what everyone finds difficult about him and his teaching, or just the concepts in general. We're then going to approach Mr. Sprent or Mr. Terry or both, in order to clarify the issues and such (especially if we have to keep him as our teacher forever ): )
Melkey said that the lines MIGHT change for next year, especially for maths, so we'll see, I suppose.
What hurts me the most is that i could've had the same timetable as I had last year (essentially) rather than sitting in my free, thinking about the quality teaching that my other friends are getting right then and there. It's honestly not fair. I'm going to fail maths. It is my worst subject and I cannot teach it to myself. But I'm running out of options.

Finished biology! It's gone! :) YAY!
We had Mr. Slade today. He's one cool man, I must say (even if I do believe he is a little creepy)
But Ms. Kumerich's class get him next year! WHY DO THEY GET THE GOOD TEACHERS, HUH?
Like, I had McGlynn -___- and now I have Simpson (who is okay, but he failed to explain the full assignment to us until two days before it was due - thanks, dude.)

Bought sushi at recess and chilled with the girls. Got my KK person ;D ;D
Wanna know who it is, eh, eh?

Society was reasonably tedious. Except that i got to say "Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi" about three or four times to the class. Along with "Dinki Di" "G'day mate" "crikey" "no worries" "True Blue" and etc.

LUNCH! Went to eighty ate with Elena, Sunny and Alice and bought wedges to eat in my other free :)
Sat with Jas and Foghorn and ate them.
and then the others (Renee, Carmen, Cath, Lia, Caitlin, Ness) came back from Eighty Ate when i was attempting to write the eulogy i must write for my great gran. It's actually quite hard to write. But I need to do it SOON so i can LEARN IT -sigh-
The free was enjoyable, to say the least. We discussed lame jokes and Katy Perry songs. 'Twas grand.

Maths: we were basically arguing with Terry. He was getting pretty mad. But it's too funny sometimes, you can't help but smile...
BUT IT'S SO FRUSTRATING. I don't really want to think about it.
He. Just. Can't. Teach. To. Save. His. Fucking. Life.
I mean, he's a lovely man, he's just teaching us all the wrong, pointless things, and when we try to correct him, he essentially ignores us.
I would drop Maths if I had 12 units...

Hot and stuffy on the train. The Epping is kind of lonely nowadays.

It's Mum's birthday tomorrow. I will do what I can to make her happy.

REMINDER: Get x-ray for teeth tomorrow BECAUSE YOU NEED BRACES
