Haven't updated!











Dear Blog!

I haven't updated my blog for a long time! Well this is because I am in no mood.

UPDATE: This is because I don't have time what with the mountain load of homework.

But so much has happened in the last two week. Such as the SMASA English Debating Community basic training, my seniors tantrum, me competing in the Universitas Lambung Mangkurat's English Student's Association's program A Week With English debating championship, and the school is soaking wet coz of the rain.

I want to separate my blog on posts concerning school life and my posts on extra curricullar life.



I hope I can do more posting in the future.

Huh!

Monday, November 3rd

Today is the first day of the first week after examination week (Huh?)
As usal, Mondays starts with school assembly and the Yr 10 Rm 2 conducted the Flag ceremony. During the assembly the principal talked about the abysmal physics results from the recent mid-test examination.

After this was Biology and the teacher revised the test and explained the evidence behind our wrong answers. I managed to scrape a pass on this one.
After a 15 minute recess twas Indonesian literature. I had to write a poem.
Only 45 minutes of creating a poem about our education. Then it was 2 period of english. Fortunately the teacher didn't come to class so it was free period.

The last two period of the day twas Geography and the teacher said I passed the Geo examination. I really couldn't remember after that.

SMA Negeri 7 Banjarmasin has excellent canteens.



On Friday & Sats

Friday. Got a 73 on Biology. Civics was free period. After recess was 2 period of Math which is nothing again except exercises.

Saturday was 'friendship' day. We don't study on that day and the school decided to carry out an inter-class footy match. And a cooking cook off.

The pics tells you what happened when there is a free period.

P.S.-Congratulation to SMA Negeri 7 Banjarmasin for having 5 star canteens (theirs are better than my schools) and friendly host. They hosted a debating contest and I was invited to watch because I'd have nothing to do in school as it was free period the whole day.

Debate practices


Thursday Afternoon!

That afternoon extra Japanese was cancelled and 1 hour later was SEDCO. A community/club for school debaters. Dictated by the senior debaters, we the freshmens had to argue about how High School students are eligible to vote in a General Election.

It was damn boring and an afternoon of karate wasted. But I have to play my wits when chosen for upcoming debating contests. Senior acts as adjus and moderator.

I act as the first speaker of the affirmative team. I tried to explained them that High School students can make their own choices but the adju' (see Midi Junior) didn't get my point and said he was hem...hem... disappointed.

After that the Seniors stated that we (the Juniors) are too... well they demonstrated a 'proper' debate.

Social talks

Thursday!

After an exhaustive mid test school commenced to normal on Thursday, October 30th. Donning the Thursday uniform, the day started with Social Study (a study of social science). Me and my group presented a brief presentation about Social Interactions and Social Reactions. Then it was Q&A session. Next was Cambridge Physics. It was two weeks after the lass 'ordeal.' So keeping it cool the teacher explained how to solve vectors.

History was disappointing as we received our test results and I manage to scrape a 63. Just two marks from the expected passing grade. The teacher then explained cultural heritage. What can you expect from History? Two period of ESL was just viewing comprehension. Recounting a 25min film wasn't that exciting!

The day ended with Physics. It was too horibble what happened on Physics I just couldn't recount it here...
