Hey guys!
The main reason why I'm blogging is because I have another 7 hours till this stupid plane lands, and since I'm a complete pigtard and decided that I will go to bed at 10am, I didn't get up till 18 (It's not my fault I'm dumb! ..much) and so I am wide awake now.
But whatever, my ranting aside, I should continue. As many of you know, I spent the last week of school and the following two weeks of holidays at a summer camp in America. I can, without any hesitation, say that it was the most awesome 3 weeks of my life and I am already impatient to get back next year. The reasons why are endless: the food, the town trips, even the classes! But the best part by far were the people! There I met some of the sweetest, dorkiest and funniest people I know. They made every day an unforgettable adventure and I want to thank them all for it!
And as cheesy as this sounds I feel like I changed, for better (hopefully anyway). Oh, don't worry, by no means have I become more mature... if anything I feel more a five year old now than ever (which may be because I have a fluffy bunny pillow pet on my lap.. just maybe). Not only that, but I have gained some pretty, emm, 'interesting' hobbies which will no doubt come in very useful in the future...
1. Cloud watching: did anyone ever realise how pretty clouds are? I never really noticed till like the first week of CTY when I was just sitting on the quad looking around when I realised how the clouds swirl and gently sway in the blue sky.. Since then I wasted way too much time just looking up at the sky.. But clouds are the prettiest during sunrise and sunset - they go a light baby pink and look exactly like candy floss! I mean, how YUM is that? Especially now in the summer that I have sugar loads of spare time I just know I'll spend forever wondering how that cloud completely changed shape or how it simply disappeared.. and don't judge! I bet when Descartes wasn't busy pondering over the existence of his body he liked to just relax and look at clouds too.
2. Moon/stargazing: having spent every night on the quad it was hard not to notice how brightly the stars shine or how the moon slowly changed from the glowing slim crescent to the fat round.. blob. (okay, on a scale of one to ten how BEAUTIFUL was that?) When all you can see in the sky is that (well, that and a few helicopters) how can you resist the urge to just look up and admire the night sky?
3. Planking: a form of art which demands creativity, skill, but most of all, pure talent. It is not something you can just learn.. with planking you need to just know. I will not lie - in these three weeks I have met possibly the most talented plankers of our generation - Sir William Cronin, Miss Fiona, The Welland Twins, Lady Zoe.. these are just a few of the plankers that I have the honour of working with. Needless to say I encourage everybody to partake in this extreme art.
Hah. Just kidding! Planking is awesome and all but if anything it is the easiest (but still extremely fun) game which everyone and anyone can play. I promise that I will dedicate another blog post just on planking so this is all I'll say for now but if anyone is interested the internet is an open (even is slightly unreliable) door to information :]
So yeah, that's it. If for some peculiar reason you bothered to read this far (admit it. it was boring. but thank you anyway :]) I think you deserve a prize. The link underneath will lead to my never seen before, extremely embarrassing....
HAH. YOU POOPS. I WASN'T GOING TO SHOW YOU ANYTHING! HAHA. IN YOUR MUM'S POOP PIG FACE.
PS. This was written on the 20th of July but I never got around to transfer it from iPad to computer till now so I hope that clears up any confusion!

Maths Resource Center, Missing Chairs and Fake Love Letters (Originally posted February 14th, 2011)
Well hello there. I know I haven't blogged in a while which may have given the implication that this blog has died. It just kind of went into a coma... if that is possible. Just to clear things up, I didn't blog due to exam preparation as well as, blatantly putting it, my laziness. Which, in case you are interested (which I doubt you are), is represented by this emoticon: ( ￣ー￣ ) (i.e. snorlax face!). Well, come to think of it, I shouldn't be restarting my blog now with exams this week and DofE Adventurous Journey preparation going on but so many awesome *enter heavy sarcasm* pranks were played this April Fools Day that I couldn't leave it un-blogged..
Well, as 9D students are trained professionals in the pranking business, our first prank was an instant success with hilarious results. Not. Anyway to the prank. I came into registration and, well, nothing was happening. I sat down with Jasmina, Rachel and Linda when Jacek got a brilliant idea.
-Guys! Let's hide in the Maths Resource Centre and stand around like lost and confused penguins stuck in a box because that would be totally hilarious!
Ok, so maybe that's not quite how he phrased it but that was pretty much what I heard. Anyway, grudgingly, everyone - that is the whole class of 18 people - all squeezed into one tiny room filled with maths sheets and colourful binders. As we stood there, half-asleep and not in very much of a prank-y mood we (or at least I) started wondering: 'What the hell are we doing here and how is this funny?' Which meant that we all went out, as a giant mass of people, to be welcomed by a smiling Ms Debevec, a rather confused but somewhat amused Mr Tonkin and Maria Maciejko, who was just kind of sitting there. So yes, that prank was a major success, especially considering that we weren't actually pranking anyone (that I was aware of anyway).
As bad as this prank was, this really kicked in the April Fools mood. Our first lesson was Art and considering that it is the lesson of creativity and thinking out of the box we played two rather unoriginal pranks:
Unfortunately for our teachers, this was not the end of our pranks. In Art, Jasmina and Jacek decided they were going to write a fake love letter to our dear and beloved RE teacher from a certain Piotrek. As everyone else was working on their graffiti thing they wrote a heartfelt love sonnet (or rather copied from the Internet) to ‘Diana’. Of course, once that was done, Mr Potter taught them to make a red envelope in which they proceeded to put the letter in and then, a bit later, with the help of my distraction skills they managed to sneak it onto her desk. Unfortunately we didn't see the results because we kind of forgot to tell her it's an April Fools joke so..
As the day continued our pranks varied from completely unprepared and on-the-spot pranks (like me and Rachel telling Year 8s Mr Tonkin wanted to speak to them and then literally forcing him to come into the classroom on the way back from the toilet) to planned and yet still completely pointless ones (like hiding two shelves worth of exercise books which took away 20 minutes of mine and Rachel’s break yet had no reaction.. at all). Also, to our disgust, we found out what mountain oysters really are (if you don’t know look it up on google). So yes, I think it was a rather successful day (:
*awemazing - word coined by Linda Phan
**orrmazing - word coined by Mr Potter (I know, ama- I mean, orrmazing, right?)
PS. In case you aren't a complete nerd (like yours truly) here is a picture of a real (or as real as a cartoon can be) snorlax:

As bad as this prank was, this really kicked in the April Fools mood. Our first lesson was Art and considering that it is the lesson of creativity and thinking out of the box we played two rather unoriginal pranks:
- The first prank was an all time classic: we changed the time on the clock. This had a somewhat delayed but extremely amusing result. Half way through the class the Cleaning Lady from the Art room happened to be glancing at the time on the clock and was surprised to see that, supposedly, only a few minutes had passed since we came in. Not quite knowing what was going on, she repeatedly checked its time with her watch's, causing her to resemble a befuddled (I know, my vocabulary has actually improved past point of using just 'amazing', 'awesome' and 'awemazing'*) bobble head, looking up at the clock then back down at her watch. Needless to say, this caused Leon to laugh very loudly and poke me till I looked as well.
- The second rather well planned prank was our 'Missing Chairs' prank. Having gotten to the Art Room before Mr Potter the three 'pranksters' ran in and, with a rush of spontaneous thinking, hid all the chairs in the storage room. Surprisingly enough the three main pranksters where Jacek (actually no surprise there), Rachel and Jasmina (who was scarily pumped up about pranking teachers). Anyway, by the time the rest of us (the rather less excited students) came in half the chairs were gone and Jacek, Rachel and Jasmina each had a chair which they were carrying towards the storage room. Most of us proceeded to help and when we were finished we rushed out of the room, closed the door and replaced the look-out (who I think was Ronja or Adelaide) with Jacek to distract the teacher while the rest of the class calmed down and tried to let the suspicious excitement fade a bit. Mr Potter, knowng nothing, entered the room and the first words he said (well, first after: ‘Yeah, Hamzah. It IS a shame Pakistan lost, but next year, ehh?’) were: 'Oh no! Where are the chairs?' after which we decided to explain to him what an orrmazing** (I take it back, my vocabulary sucks) joke we played on him and after a photo to keep souvenir, we continued our lesson.
Unfortunately for our teachers, this was not the end of our pranks. In Art, Jasmina and Jacek decided they were going to write a fake love letter to our dear and beloved RE teacher from a certain Piotrek.

What do you get if you put a fruit a some cars together? A traffic jam! (Originally posted November 29th, 2010)
Okay, this brilliant joke was created a few weeks ago in one of Mr Stephen's amazing lessons by my apprentice Jasmina O. She's pretty amazing, don't you think? Anyway, today I spent 1/4 of the day in the car. Which was very nice and all (not. I tried to commit suicide, but I didn't have the gun that Rachel made me).. but I guess I should start from the beginning.
Lovely Morning at School:
As usually, Monday mornings are.. well, very tiring. The day started with Science during which we achieved nothing, then we had English. You see, English was never my strong point, and my concentration span is about as long as a goldfish'. Sorry, not goldfish - goldfish have an okay memory and attention span, since they can learn all those awesome (pftt) tricks. So maybe like an octopus. Yeah, that works.. So when Mr Doherty asked us to work in class, well, you can guess how well that worked out. Now on my to-do list (I really like using bullet-points):
SNOW!!!!!!
Well, on Saturday it started snowing. Not light snowing, but woosh! Instand blizzard! So as you can guess, we were all super excited about going outside and rolling in the snow and I was putting on my water-proof gloves (which Rachel keeps making fun of) to go outside when the teacher tells us that we can't because 'the snow is icy, so you could slip'. But since we are totally bad-ass *snort* we tried to sneak out (and failed) because Ms Hall caught us and threatened with a red censure... So fussy. We were so disappointed but refused to give up! At lunch, there was Ms Hemerka who was a bit nicer, so me and Rachel (Linda and Jasmina wouldn't come) got to hang out outside for about 5 minutes. It was so cool! Since the wind was blowing, it felt like being on a very cold dessert, since the snow was crispy so it flew about everywhere :] Unfortunately, Ms Hemerka made us go inside, but NO! By now Jasmina had joined us (Linda left after a bit of wandering to do the Polish homework) and we tried again! We were like total stealth ninjas! We ran ALL THE WAY from the main gate to the to the door to the KS2 corridor! Actually, we hid like 3 times, in fear that we would be caught. I know, James Bond would be proud. We were gonna do it again, but I think Ms Hutchinson almost caught us, so we decided that we had achieved the peak of awesomeness, no need for more
"I have alcoholic candy! I can get drunk!" "So? I got drugs! Cough syrup!"
That is by far my favourite quote from one of my super-fascinating conversations with Little Michael (we were both stuck in the traffic) Anyway, so I leave music school at six and can you guess what time I got back? Ten! That is four hours! I felt like punching my window! Seriously! I was so bored that at one point I started doing homework! That is of course after my battery ran out, I won the whole 'Crazy Penguin' game TWICE, as well after calling practically everyone on my contact list (so about 5 people (not really, I'm not that pathetic... not THAT pathetic anyway)). After about the third hour, I was starving! And can you guess what I found? ALCOHOLIC CHERRY CHOCOLATE. It was disgusting. But I was starving so I ate it. Of course, afterwards I found some 'Paluszki'* but you know.. Also, the traffic lights were absolutely useless! I literally didn't move from one spot for about half an hour! The the lights kept changing; Red, Yellow, Green, Red, Yellow, Green; yet no one was moving! Can you see why I hate traffic lights now?
Finally Home
At ten, I finally got home. I know, it felt like half of the day passed me by! Oh no wait, it did. Well, one sixth. Anyway, the moment I got home, I had to do some homework and then... *drum roll* I blogged! By the way, I finally realised why I blog (I had a lot of time to think... but I spent most of the time trying to kill the traffic lights)! I know how boring life can be sometimes (probably better than anyone else) so I like to think that I'm helping SOMEONE be a little less bored (though I'm probably doing the opposite.. sorry guys, my intentions are in the right place)! Plus, the whole no social life thing..
*Paluszki: Fingers. Or you know, salted bread sticks.

- Check Polish HW (Ditto as in French only I actually finished it)
- Research the 'Legend of Anastasia' which is awesome and all, but I could do without the extra work
- Geography Assessment (but we might be doing that in class)

I play piano like a choking manikin (Originally posted on November 17th, 2010)
Well, after 4 days of lounging about, waking up at noon, I woke up a TAD late for school. How 'tad'? I basically had 5 minutes to: eat breakfast, change, brush my teeth, pack my music school stuff and get into the car. And surprisingly, I kinda managed! And was only considered late because of Mr Prior being in registration (I literally came in at 8:21). Anyway, Monday was a never ending (well, until 15:45) swirl of lessons - Polish to French to English... ARGH. Of course, as a lovely way to finish the day I had 2 hours of fricking music school. Plus, I didn't practice piano, AT ALL, so my piano teacher wasn't too pleased. Her best quotes:
-STOP MOVING LIKE A MANIKIN!
-WHY AREN'T YOU HUGGING THE KEYBOARD?
And my personal favourite:
-You look like you're choking! (She calmed down by then, so she stopped shouting)
So yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm not her favourite student After that I had the lessons upstairs, and, well, my music school friends got a bit over excited about my balls. Aw gawd, that sounded... wrong. I mean the little glowing ball with Spongebob. I was messing around with it, when Karolina, a slightly hyper person, decided that she will behave like a dog and stole it. Like the canine animal (which is inferior to all felines) she started running around, barking and well, you can guess. It took me and Ola (or Ola and I, but really, who is going to correct my grammar on here?) about 5 minutes to get it back. Yeah, fun. By the time I got home, I had crazy fun finishing off the Geography assessment and doing maths *and the crowd cheers*. I literally stayed up till like midnight doing maths. Oh yes. I'm cool like that.

The Amazing Pen Top Instrument (Originally Posten on November 8th, 2010)
Okay, so I know that I didn’t upload a new post in a while but I tried! In fact, I was gonna post it yesterday, but it crashed! So I wasted a whole fricking hour typing for nothing. Yay… I’m writing this on Microsoft Word in case it happens again, so don’t worry, I don’t have an excuse to delay any further.
Well, first of all, I’d like to apologize for not uploading in such a long time, but since my social life is like zero, I don’t really have anything to talk about. If I were to write something everyday, it would come out like this:
Day 1: Woke up late today. Got yelled at by piano teacher. Did homework. Went to sleep.
Day 2: Woke up on time today. Didn’t have piano lesson, and so didn’t get yelled at. Did homework. Went to sleep.
Day 3: Woke up-
You get the drift. My life is pretty boring and repetitive. Anyway, so what happened in those past 5 days? Well, on Thursday I had an awesome last three lessons. Double Maths and French. Well since Mr Tonkin is in Australia *READ WITH AUSTRALIAN ACCENT* we learnt absolutelu nothing in maths :] That in itself is a legitimate reason to smile.
The french lesson was.. interesting. It was basically, a whole load of racism, combined with music (since we had Mr Fitzgibbon as a sub). Here is what I learnt about 21st Century racism:
1) People tend to think that just because a word rhymes with a real word, it instantly has a meaning. (eg. Glieffen Schieffen Piefen. Okay so maybe none of these words are real but you get my point.)
2) Apparently some people still think that ‘Ching Chang Chong’ actually means something. I’m gonna break some news to you guys… it doesn’t. Also, what did you think it meant? It’s as if a Chinese person came up to you and randomly said: ‘Joe Po Shmoe’. I mean once would be confusing enough, but let’s multiply it by about ten... thousand times a day?
As you can see, it was a very educational lesson of French. What else did we 'learn'? You'll be glad to know that we mastered The Pen Top Instrument (capital letters necessary).
On Sundat I met up with some friends who actually weren't embarrassed to be seen in public with me and we all went to Galeria Mokotow to watch ‘Due Date’. The movie wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t that bad either.
Quote #1: Hah! My dad would never do that to me! He loved me!
Quote #2: He always enjoyed coffee… Now he’s enjoyed AS coffee.
Quote #3:
-If you are allergic to waffles, don’t eat waffles!
-THEN DON’T TAKE ME TO A WAFFLE STORE!
Quote #4: Hah, he’s so stupid! He thinks he’s human! *laughs and continues to feed the dog*

Harvest Festival (Originally posted on October 23rd, 2010)
The day was pretty ordinary. Well, except for the part where it was awesome! (gosh I'm just too cool.)
It started with PE. We had to go outside which caused my elf-like - they're not even nilbog-like - ears to go numb. Overall, it was quite fun. We spent break and English preparing the posters for the harvest festival and then came lunch. As usual, lunch was awesome! I went outside to hang out with Iiris, Maria M., Maria T. and Adelaide. I took loads of photos, after which Adelaide stole my camera which caused me to attempt to go piggie-backing on Adelaide. But at the last second, she ducked and I landed flat on my butt. Needless to say, ouch. After a few more lessons it was time for the harvest festival :]
We came in and set up the 5kg of stuff on 3 tables (one of which was stolen from another group). Our best selling items? Adelaide's flapjacks and brownies (man, those were delicious...), spring rolls, Jasmina's Panookies (pancake/cookies :)) and, of course, Linda's face painting. I advertised our stall, took awesome pictures of teachers hit in the face (or body, due our lack of accuracy) with soaking wet sponges, or watched the unbelievable rate at which Michael Th.'s cupcakes were sold (even though they were such a rip-off).

Afterwards, I met up with Olivia (who came back for a week, since she has her half-terms before us) and we watched 'Eat, pray and love'. It was not as great as I was told but it was pretty cute :] Afterwards, I went to Linda's house where I tried to master the labyrinth game, ate about 20 jelly beans and simply messed around. Actually, I almost killed a child. You know, one of those running things? Well, I was running on it (don't as why) when these two little kids climbed on behind me. I told them to get off, but they just wouldn't leave! Then one of the kids fell off and DIED! Well, not died. But she got like a scratch...
Yesterday (Saturday, for you confused followers.. assuming it is in fact plural) I spent like 1h30 sitting on the roof (I know! How awesome is it that I can do that? Though it's not as comfy as it looks in all those American movies, where the kid sulks on the roof, etc. In fact, my butt was numb by the time I got off) doodling and listening to my iPod. Of course, since it's a (very annoying) habit of mine, I sang along. And I swear, this woman started walking faster when she heard my singing. Maybe I shouldn't sing in public.. or at all.
As for today (Sunday.. duh), I woke up at 10am for some strange reason and had some breakfast. After that (and some maths.. I know, I do maths on weekends. I'm lame. Deal with it), Linda picked me up and after some unsuccesful shoe-shopping, we went to watch 'RED'. One of my favourite quotes:
-So what are you gonna do, Frank?
-Kill the vice-president.. What about you?
Hahaa :] For those of you guys who haven't watched it, it's epic! Anyway, afterwards, me, Linda and Ola (whom I forgot to mention... but she was watching the movie with us) had some sushi. Which was pretty good.. I mean, I had better. Then came the dessert. It was awemazing! It was like maki, but the wrapping was chocolate and inside were melon and kiwi.. and with this cream sauce... Mann, it was like being in heaven... Mmmmh, food..
It started with PE. We had to go outside which caused my elf-like - they're not even nilbog-like - ears to go numb. Overall, it was quite fun. We spent break and English preparing the posters for the harvest festival and then came lunch. As usual, lunch was awesome! I went outside to hang out with Iiris, Maria M., Maria T. and Adelaide. I took loads of photos, after which Adelaide stole my camera which caused me to attempt to go piggie-backing on Adelaide. But at the last second, she ducked and I landed flat on my butt. Needless to say, ouch. After a few more lessons it was time for the harvest festival :]
We came in and set up the 5kg of stuff on 3 tables (one of which was stolen from another group). Our best selling items? Adelaide's flapjacks and brownies (man, those were delicious...), spring rolls, Jasmina's Panookies (pancake/cookies :)) and, of course, Linda's face painting. I advertised our stall, took awesome pictures of teachers hit in the face (or body, due our lack of accuracy) with soaking wet sponges, or watched the unbelievable rate at which Michael Th.'s cupcakes were sold (even though they were such a rip-off).

Well today was nice... (Originally posted on October 3rd, 2010)
Today I discovered some super lovely things:
1) If you get really cold, your skin will turn a deepish shade of purple:
Well after managing to convince my mother that washing your hair does not in fact lead to death, I finally got in the shower. And what is the first thing that happens? Freezing cold water comes pouring down! Panicking, I try to turn the knob to hot but it seems that my shower does not like me because the water became even colder. So I grabbed my towel prepared to get out when I realise something. I have turned purple. Freaking PURPLE. LIKE AN OOMPA LOOMPA (I think?). Anyway, so that was a rather unpleasant experience (plus now I feel like I will die. Or you know, catch a cough)
2) Eating while coughing will result with most of the food, well, not in your mouth:
I was having dinner, so you know, basically rice when POW! COUGHING ATTACK. Needless to say, it was very gross. Urgh.
3) And lastly, it is extremely hard to blog when you can't see:
Yes I know, I can't believe my glasses broke yet again but what can I do? Not homework, that's for sure *snicker snicker* so what else but blog? Actually it's going surprisingly well! ..except for the occasional spelling mistake but I make those even when I can see so...
So yes. To shorten it - cold icky half-blind oompa loompa showers. Yeah, that sums things up quite nicely.
