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.

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...

Friday booboos!


Friday,

I had to come to school early today 'coz the school along with the student board decided to have another Friday Preach. This was the second Friday Preach. On Friday Preaches, the whole students gather at the basketball field and sit facing a religious preacher while he...well...preach. Today's subject is about the three curses god give to those who insult their teachers. I personally disagree. I am a person who have faith in my religion but also have faith in the freedom to say anything.
After the preach was Biology. We discussed Monera critters and I had to explain the differrence between a bacteria and amoeba. It was fine except I didn't explained clearly and the teacher, she didn't hear me say the Whittaker's Kingdom classificaion.
Next was civics, a subject about the structure of politics and the likes. We had to create 5 questions and the best will be chosen for the upcoming mid-semester test.

After 15 min of recess was General Mathematics. It was the long awaited Math test. The teacher handed out the question sheets and we were told to explain the solution in another sheet. Thank god I got through rational fractions and root forms just fine.

Wild!!!

Wednesday,

Today's chemistry test was cancelled (or postponed). Apparently the whole class practically begged the teacher to call off the test 'cause he didn't announced today's test beforehand. So the 2 lesson period was quite an enjoyable affair as I finally understand what Chemistry tables are (I hardly understood anything these days). Physical education was a free period as our physed teacher went to either Yogyakarta or Bali for the 2008 Asian Beach Games .

Cambridge Math (one period after a 15 minute recess) was a 'dozing' affair. Our Math teacher is so relaxed and 'pure' while teaching us that most of us are yawning all the time. It takes an effort not to fall asleep during his class. It is amazing that he left retirement to teach again. Not only that, he taught Math in English at a speed of light (to some of my classmates at least).

One period of Music was replaced by counselling. Nothing special. The day ended with a very brief Music class where the whole class was turned into an orchestra of our National Anthem. It resulted in me not wanting to hear 'Indonesia Raya' ever again.

Cancelled!

Tuesday,

The Math test today was postponed until Friday. To my relief. Tuesdays started with Economics. The teacher explained 'bout markets and financial graphs. She also preached about the upcoming mid-semester tests. Up next was 45 minutes of English. We were told to get into groups and staged a drama and should be prepared in two weeks.

After 15 minutes of recess, it was Cambridge Chemistry. Nothing special as the teacher only assigned us exercises. To be completed Thursday. When the bell rang signalling the end of Chemistry, it was Math. When the Math teacher walked in he decided to postponed the test to Friday, to our relief. The 90 minute lesson was dedicated for quadratic equations instead.

After another 15 min of recess, the (school)day ended with a two period of Japanese. Today's Japanese class was nothing but playing some Hiragana Snaps.

Whatta day! As I went home I had to finish my Music homework, prepare for the Chemistry test tomorrow and write a play in English! But I blog in English.

Gritting teeths

Dear Blog,

Tomorrow is Monday. All day I've been trying to study math and biology but instead I've been falling asleep. Tonight is CSI Supreme Sunday. The mid-semester examination is less than 8 days away and I haven't done any hardcore studying.

The Biology evaluation test is tomorrow. That's no problem, but the next day (Tuesday) is the math evaluation and I'm extremely nervous as I understand 1/8 of what Logarithm these days.

Hope I'll pass these examinations and pull meself together.
