1 of October - Thursday

Oh man, what a day!

The main news was that the ENEM exam was apparently leaked by someone so, instead of having it on the weekend, it has been posponed for what should be a period of 45 days.

What was most tiring today was what happened after school hours were over.

At night, our teams went to Graded school to play some football (or "soccer" as Graded must call it!).

For those that stayed behind and were going to do their ENEM (depite it's cancellation) were welcome to a talk from Mrs. Viegas about techniques on the exam and ways to go well.

At 6 'o clock at night, the Handel concert began. It was a great hour of wonderful classical music in the theatre with a lot more people than I expected, to be honest. It was also the perfect opportunity to train Gian, the newest member of the lighting team, how to work the lighting board in order to be my replacement when I leave school at the end of the year.

11 of September - Friday

The end of the week arriving and most of the school already turning on their "relax" gears.

Today was a pretty normal day with nothing out of the ordinary happening, though I must say that Vicky's stretching exercises during P.E. though were spectacular and extremely envigorating. I don't know exactly how to word this because describing pain as "good" without sounding like a masochist is extremely hard. Hmm...despite it seeming like every cell in my body was screaming in agony when I was done, it was a "good" pain because it was one that left me (and I'm sure the others as well) with the feeling that we had improved our fitness.

It certainly was a healthy and good alternative to dodgeball, an activity that I've been wanting all week but never seem to find enough people willing and able to play when P.E. lesson finally arrives.

4 of September - Friday

Three main events happened today. First off, Alberto told us, in assembly, a little extract of the speech he had given the McCann Society the day before. It was about Economics and credit. I think we will all agree with the fact that this was a very good speech and we hope to hear similar extracts from the other speakers in the McCann Society ECA.

Film today was quite unique experience: no teacher came to the class to teach us. Robbie, Zhao and myself stayed in the classroom and worked on our Film Courseworks. At 9:15 (15 minutes before the end of class), Mr. Burnside, our film teacher, walks in and asjs us what we are doing. We were then asked what lesson we are supposed to be having. The answer? "Film, sir...with you..."
All 3 of us were given Bene's by Mr. Burnside; I think it's my first Bene in about 3 years...

Extended Essay's were due in today and many people were in a drastic hurry to finish them off and hand them in. 4000 is a lot more than it seems, for some people.

With the large amount of rain we had, P.E. was a very limited class. We had the option of Table Tennis, Dodgeball, Futsal or work in the 6th form centre. Dodgeball and Table Tennis were abandoned as nobody showed up for them.
