Bits and Pieces

The happenings of the last few weeks have pretty much been arriving in little fragments that are not really enough to have a blog post for each one. So today I will be doing what my last year class frequently finds me doing in Mrs Tee’s ePOD lessons. That is grouping my points together.

My grouping of points last year was actually quite funny cos every time I raise my hand to say something it begins with (let’s say I have three points to talk about) “I have 3 points to make...” And so on depending on how many points I grouped together. Eventually Noel succinctly stated to the whole class the effect of point grouping: “Allister can you stop grouping your points together because the only thing we remember after you’re done is your last point” XD

Thus ended the grouping of points.

Anyway lets go all the way back to the day after The Meeting (previous post), last last Wednesday. PIano practical exam. Fail. For sure. Because every piece had a ton of mistakes, and the scales got messed up real bad too. No need to wait for results already, I know when I’ve failed. A bit stupid in retrospect, that I took the exam knowing I didn’t have enough practice because I didn’t have the time to practice.

Thursday I borrowed OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD from someone. Thanks a million to that person :) Don’t wanna mention who here, later he gets bugged by lots of people XD

Friday was Year 1 First Aid at NCDCC which I was teaching. Then had to coordinate the practical test at the end of the day. At the end of it all I was dead tired, from running all over the place to make sure things go smoothly. Thanks to all the Year 3s who helped me out here :)

On the same day Ms Fiona Ho had to sort out the New South Wales Writing competition for both Year 3 and 4 into the various classes. The amount of entries were a stack of paper more than 40cm high. About 3/4 didn’t write their class down so she had to compare with the class lists and sort them one by one.

She was busy that day so me and some other people helped her to sort it out. Thanks so much people :) And thanks a million Nicholas for coming over from 3.9 during free period, and also taking over most of it when I had to attend to C Math work :) I would have died if not for you.

Wednesday of the next week after school we had NCDCC camp planning meeting. Year 2s are usually supposed to plan the year end camp, with the Year 3s kind of guiding them along. We were pretty much hands-off this year, and I think that was good. Tell people what to do but not how to do it and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.

Saturday was NCDCC Service Day, basically going around the HDB flats and surveying people on fire safety as well as giving out pamphlets. After we came back to school at about noon, I had lunch with Nicholas at Broadway. It was nice to be able to spend time with a friend to catch up on each other’s life :) Talked about all the funny things that happen in our class (Bose, Kwang Pow, etc. all the gossip XD)

Yups that’s what’s happened the past weeks.
