I kinda got lazy
Yeah, I got pretty lazy with this thing and haven't updated in a week. Time to change that :P *goes to check where the last update was up to*
Ah yes, my racism rant.
To be honest, I can't remember much of what's happened over the past week, so I'm just gonna give you points on what I can remember :P.

Tuesday... we continued work in Physics on Electricity, but that's pretty much all I can remember. Wednesday, I came home to find my Dad had gotten Skype, so we could talk for free with webcams while he was up in NSW. That was fun. Mum was amazed when she got home and was suddenly talking to Dad. Venturers that night was also fun; it was just a swimming night at a local pool, but it's generally more just a chance to talk for 2 hours, which is always good once in a while.
I can't remember much about Thursday other then our IT class; our teacher showed us this really cool video and then we talked about IT in not just education but all walks of life, proceeded by a talk about IT security which is what our next SAC is on. It was a great talk, really interesting and fun. We also kept learning about Electricity in Physics. Friday was more of the same; Physics first period, and then IT second period. I also found out at the end that out of everyone in our IT class, the teacher had picked me to road test a laptop over the holidays as a trial for a rollout of them next year to Senior School students. So there's some good news: I'll have Internet access (albeit intermittent access when I can get some Wi-Fi) while I'm away on holiday from the 28th of September to the 6th of October. Yes, that means I'll be away for my birthday
but hopefully I'll be able to get on at some point during the day so I can chat to some of you guys.
Friday ended with a test in Maths on Calculus. I did okay, but I wasted so much time on the extended response question at the end and I know I mucked up part of it. Saturday, at about 12:30am, my Dad got home from NSW, although I was asleep by then (I'd tried to stay up til he got home by reading New Moon, but shortly after midnight I just couldn't keep going). So yeah, in the morning we all helped unpack the car. There were a lot of boxes that he'd brought down and he also brought a TV down, so I now have a bigger TV in the computer room. I still haven't decided if I like it though. Sure, the picture's bigger, but it's a lot less sharper, and when you're using menus on XBMC and the Xbox 360, it can really make it hard to see some of the menu items. It hasn't affected Guitar Hero much though :P.
On Sunday we had some friends over for afternoon tea. That was fun. They also brought over another Guitar Hero guitar to lend to us because their Xbox was being repaired, so for the next few days I'll be playing a lot of Guitar Hero co-op with my brother :P.
Today was awesome. I found out in IT that me and another guy got both got perfect scores in our latest SAC on Excel. The teacher said something like "However, these two layabouts both did extremely well." and he handed us our SAC folders that we put all of our documentation into. We both pulled out the mark sheets that had our results on them, saw the 100% at the top and were like "HOLY SHIT". Then we gave each other high fives :P. However, this does mean that, if you average the marks for all three SACs so far, he's still one mark ahead of me! We have another SAC this Friday (our last for the year) in the form of a test, and it's on IT Security, so that's gonna be interesting to see how we do on that.
Once again, another long update. I wonder when I'm gonna get motivated and update every 2-3 days instead of every 5-7 days so you guys don't have to read so much. Hmmm.

what, no mention of the gh event today?
also, dibs on borrowing the laptop for at least a few minutes, for comparison purposes... I want to see, dammit!
i wrote this last night, not today :P I'll write something on it probably tomorrow night once I get back from Venturers, coz we're having a music night tomorrow night.
And of course you'll be able to take a look at it :P
