synergy with mr guthrie.mr. guthrie is nice, and synergy's more like an FAD or peer support group kind of thing, than CME. we have about like 8-10 people in our group including me, and there's only two girls, this thai girl called nok (sp?) and I. and the rest are all guys. one of them is sudipta, who's from india, we had the same buddy during orientation. so we discussed our new timetable and handbook which is called the middle school agenda, and then played this get-to-know-each-other game.
mathscience with mr huttner.mr huttner is really nice too. we had to draw lots to see which seat we got, and then go up to the front in numerical order to present 3 facts about ourselves, and put a star on the smartboard map on where we call 'home'. I put it on what I thought was singapore, until mr huttner told me it was part of indonesia. oh, damn. I printed out our nuts & bolts sheet already (which is like an expectations-intro thingy) and I need to sign it, so do my parents.
PE with mr vaughan.that's mr VAUN, and not mr VOGAN, as I mistakenly pronounced his name. he's new. again, we played a get-to-know-each-other game. it was quite fun. if I described it it would take ages, but to sum it up let's say that while it was wonderfully fun and hilarious (and embarrassing- I think it was called the embarrassing name game or something), I don't remember many people's names. I remember anna, and amy, and tata, and dajun, and kaejun (is it kaejun? it's something jun, right). aaaaand oh damn nobody else. LOL.
spanish with mr ethridge is actually next, but I'll skip it to briefly describe the next few subjects (dance, humanities and publications) cos spanish is the main bulk of this.--> dance with a relief teacher cos ms price wasn't therewe have to wear leggings and a shirt tomorrow. we don't know what shoes to wear yet, until we find out what dances we're gonna learn. thank goodness I bought leggings.
human.s with mr kenneyfun, fun and fun.
though I miss miss teng. a lot.
publications with mr everettfun again. check
this out. also, I think this article (
http://isbmiddleschool.blogspot.com/2008/02/are-children-damaged-by-materialism-nam.html) is quite good.
spanishoh damn, I need to go soon, I'll just revise my spanish here. most of it. we're supposed to read through the hellos and goodbyes and since I like walked around the house reading them aloud, I should be okay with them. here's just some of my favourites.
hola! (hello- the h is silent. so it's like OLA.)buenos tardes! (good afternoon)que tal? (how's it going?)adios. (goodbye)hasta manana (pronounced 'maniana'. means 'until tmr'.)hasta luego (my personal favourite. 'until next time.')chau! (or 'chachau' as mr ethridge prefers. 'bye', informally.)okay, I need to go now.
missing nanyang, singapore and everyone like crazy!
♥GRACIE
