School

The end of school was a little weird, cause there was the last full day of classes, then a week of shutdown with tests, a couple of days when were just told not to come and then half a day.  It was a bit weird, noone seemed quite sure when we really finished.

But whatever.  I’m putting up photos.

The wonderful Modern History class. [click to continue...]

Our Modern History student teacher gave us this a couple of weeks ago.  She swore someone wrote it seriously, and while I’m not entirely convinced it’s still pretty funny.

Here goes:

“Dear Dr Stacey,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God’s law.  I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can.  I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to follow them.

1.  When I burn a bull on the altar of sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord (Lev 1:9).  The problem is my neighbours.  They claim the odour is not pleasing to them.  Should I smite them?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7.  In this day and age what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3. Lev 25-44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both males and females, providing they are purchased from neighbouring nations.  A friend of mine claims this applies to Mexicans, but not to Canadians.  Can you clarify?  Why can’t I own Canadians?

4.  I have a neighbour who insists on workig on the Sabbath.  Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death.  Am I morally obliged to kill him myself?

5.  Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight.  I have to admit I wear reading glasses.  Does my vision have to be 20/20 or is there some wriggle room here?

6.  I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

7.  My uncle has a farm.  He violates Lev 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field.  He also tends to curse and blaspheme alot.  Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them?  (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn’t we just bring them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their inlaws? (Lev 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.  Thank you again for reminding us that God’s word is eternal and unchanging.

Your faithful listener,

P. Uzzled

I have finished all my exams for year twelve.

I have a job.  (Yes, it turns out I did get it.)

I have my formal dress.  And shoes.  And makeup and hair figured out.

All I have left with school is one assembly, one graduation rehersal, one graduation and one formal.

Photos will be up shortly.

Only nine full school days left.

Yay.

(Shelly is cool.)

I am so happy right now.

My big stupid term three year twelve exams are over!!  They’re the ones all the teachers have been trying to scare us with since about grade seven or eight.  I think I did okay.  Messed up Maths completely, but you get that.

It’s a really bizarre feeling right now.  I don’t have anything at all to do, which I’ve been looking forward to for SO long, but now I pretty much can’t handle it.  I’m so bored it’s ridiculous.  Egh.  But whatever.

is weird.

If you try and search the term “Nazi” in Google, it’s blocked. But we have an entire term of Modern History devoted to Nazi Germany.

Incidently, “prostitution” and “brothel” are okay.

I will never understand Education Queensland.

They announced the winner of the sports carnival today.

D’bah: LAST.

Oh yeah, we suck. But as Jess said, we’d put too much time into our costumes to run.

So, back to school.

Ergh.

I’m not going to write too much here, because it hasn’t been posting lately…
Here goes.

Toodaloo

We’re doing women’s liberation in Modern History at the moment and found a few quotes that were quite terrifying/hilarious.

…his own experience of ladies at municipal elections had been that they were somewhat weak in mind. He thought that ladies, like cats, were best kept at home.
