Happy Birthday to Me

Hey,

Jeez, I haven’t written anything in ages! I’ve had ridiculous amounts of homework – AAAARRGH!!! My birthday was on Wednesday, which was incredibly busy.

I got up early, did the prezzie thing, went to toastmasters and walked to school because toastmasters ran late so I missed the bus. Morning tea I had a Student Council meeting and at lunch a debating meeting. After school I worked on my debate stuff, beacause I’d only just gotten my teammates speeches. Then we had the debate, then went out to dinner (Yay for avocado chicken!!).

The debate was really good. I’ve been in two debates in class before and both times I was the first affirmative speaker, so I didn’t have to rebut at all. Wednesday night I was third negative so all I did was rebut, then summarise our arguments. And sure my speech was only four and a half minutes and everyone else’s were seven, but that’s still the longest speech I’ve ever made. Anyway we lost (apparently we should impose a youth curfew), but it was fun…

Okay. What to say??? Ooh. For my birthday, I got stuff. Yeah… Anyway, I got an address book (from France or Italy, I’m not sure, but it’s definitely not English. I also got a watch and a really bracelet…and a few candles and another bracelet and some hairclip and a grow your own pony, which I am growing as I speak – or type.
I have spent today revising for maths and writing a speech for toastmasters about the Boxing Day Tsunami.

Bet you didn’t know that calling it that is an Aussie thing. Well, there you go. I’ve also been researching Pol Pot, a psycho maniac communist who caused the deaths of over a fifth of Cambodia’s population. It’s interesting even though I’m trying to think of “focus questions” for my speech on him and his ethical qualities (or total lack of) which is hard.

So… I’m currently trying to unfreeze…defrost…our icecream. Our back fridge is to cold, so you’ve gotta leave it out for ages so you don’t snap too many forks. I think I’m going to cover it in chocolate Nesquik, because we’ve run out of milk so I can’t have a chocolate milk.

Why am I writing all this stuff on here? Even I can see it’s of no interest to anyone.

Well, ha ha, you’ve spent about five seconds reading about hard icecream and absent milk. Although everything before that wasn’t really all that intellectually stimulating anyway. Well, I have an excuse, I spent all day doing trigonometry revision and I’ll spend large quantities of tomorrow doing Japnaese revision and working on my Japanese speech. Jeez, I’m gonna fry my brain… maybe I should go watch “The Simpson’s” to try and avoid a total brain overload.

ICECREAM REPORT: Really good with heaps of Nesquik mixed into the icecream itself, as opposed to just being popped on top.

I have to go, this is too good to be distracted from

Bye bye.
