Happy new year!!

So we have finally made it to the end of 2012. Its been a crazy year, and i cant wait for all of the fun times that will come this year.

 I've decided to just to what I enjoy doing, and am now considering psychology for a career, rather than pediatrics, which would allow me to continue with my love of English and literature more so than any other option (Les Miserables book review is coming, but I have been busy and it is 959 pages long). I am also planing on spending a lot more time with friends (I'm a little antisocial at times) and will be studying more too (Year thirteens get a study period).

I hope you all had a great 2012 and wish you all the best for 2013 :)

My amazing (gluten free) pavlova recipe

I thought that I'd share my Pavlova recipe with you. For those who don't know a pav is a kiwi (not Australian) desert typically served at Christmas time. the outside is crispy and sweet, while the inside is marshmallowy. Topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries (which are cheap because they're in season) this is the perfect desert for summer. My recipie has been adapted to be gluten free, as my little sister has acute celiacs disease, meaning that she cant eat any gluten or food produced on factories that produece gluten products (think potato chips and breakfast foods)

I was told that when you make your pave you are not supposed to open the oven at all or make loud noises. This is probably an old wives tale, but no one wants a colapsed pavlova.

You will need:
- eggs
- sugar
- vannilla
-cornflour
- cake mixer or electric wisk and a large bowl
- an oven pre heated to 110 *C
- cookie sheet
- whiped cream (no substatutions)
-stawberries
-chocolate

Seperate four eggs, putting the whites only into the bowl. Wisk with electric wisk or cake mixer with wisk attatchment untill the whites until they form soft peeks the gradually add the sugar (while still beating). Add 1 tsp of vanilla and the same of cornflour. Beat for another 5-10 minutes.
Spread mixtre in a medium sized circle on a cookie sheet. Bake for an hour, then leave it in the oven (which is off) for 90 minutes, cover in cream, strawberries (sliced) and greated chocolate.

enjoy :)

The end of the world

The Mayan calender

So today the world is supposed to end, that in my opinion is just a complete misinterpretation of the Mayan prophecy. In China survival pods have been built, and conspiracies theorise that under Denver airport a giant bunker has been created (see video here ), but is it all just in vain? Here are some reasons why I believe that we will still be living the same way that we are today when we wake up tomorrow:

1) The Mayans did not add an extra day on leap years, making the world end a while ago.

2) There have hundreds thousands  of similar prophecies. Tell me, at the start of the year 2000 did   your toaster and Walkman enslave you? They played your Spice Girls cassette tape and burnt your   toast? That's what I thought.

3) The Mayans did not predict that they would die out, but can predict when we will. Is it just me or is that a bit dodgy?

4) Here's a nerdy one :). Even if the word does not exist as a planet, it will always exist, even just as dust particles floating around in space.

5) The calender just shows the end of a cycle and the start of a new one, rather than the death and destruction shown in movies. For all we know this could be a good change.

6) Finally how did the Mayans know what to put on the calender? I have no idea at all. maybe the just wanted to freak us all out? Who knows?

I honestly think that this entire event is just as big of a hoax as Y2K, and will enjoy watching everyone freak out.

Have a great doomsday, Christmas and New Year.

Starting to feel a lot like Christmas

So the weather is finally starting to get better, I am currently sun burnt and have done 90% of my shopping. Its starting to feel a lot like Christmas. I honestly absolutely love Christmas, from the annual Santa parade to the hours of guilt free shopping, now that  there are just over two weeks it seems so close.

Here are some (bad) pictures from the parade   

A giant Teddy bear float


Santa's work shop

 And Santa on his sleigh

This is a random picture of queens park on the day of the parade:)

Happy holidays!!!



Summer reading list

I absolutely love reading, so when I found a list of all of the books Rory had every referred to in The Glimor Girls (That definitely shows my age) I thought I'd adapt it make the perfect reading list for me this summer. I started by removing books I have read such as The Bell Jar, Harry Potter, 1984, The crucible, and a few others. I then added a few I want to read (Les Miserabels, a few Jodi Picoult books (yes, I do know that all of her books have the same story line) and a couple of Nicholas Sparks books) All in all there are about 250 books, which will keep me busy all summer.

D.I.Y dream catchers

I may not have mentioned this but I absolutely love crafting, sewing, baking and making stuff in general. So today I was on pinterest and found an awesome link to a site which had instructions on how to make a dream catcher. I decided to make one but use what I had at home rather than buying all of the materials that would need to be ordered online and take a few days to get here. So I used white wool (from a crochet project that I never got around to doing), ribbon, embroidery thread (from when I went through a soft toy making phase), and plastic beads.

Dream catchers originated from the Ojibwa nation and are now vastly popular in most countries. I personally have one hanging on my head board, so do my nieces and many of my friends. Dream catchers are supposed to stop bad dreams from entering your head. The spider web like net catches harmful influences and the feathers are to provide a ladder for good dreams to climb up.

 

This was my attempt at making a dream catcher although it did not turn out as well as I expected.

This is the link to the tutorial. I hope you enjoy making your own dream catchers. :)

The guinea pig generation

I am part of the Guinea pig generation. Everything new happens to be tested on us. First was merging schools in year four, meningoccocal B jabs in year five, and the cervical Cancer jabs in year nine and ten. These were all tried and tested on all of us who started school in the year 2000.

Now we are testing a new version of NCEA (National certificate of educational acheivement). The new NCEA is harder and also includes an interesting new marking schedual . We; the babies of 1995 were picked again to be the guinea pigs, although this time its not all bad.

 

The new marking schedual makes it easyer to pass when you have no idea what you are on about and although the grades are harder to get, achievement with merit/exelence is still possible. you are given a grade for each part of a question (N0, N1, N2, A3, A4, M5, M6, E7, E8) as apposed to the old schedual where you could get not acheived, achieved, merit or exelence.

 

  We also have less papers for exams so we have less stuff we need to do during our final exams. We also get the bad stuff though. Teachers don't know how much depth to go into with subjects that have changed dramatically such as biology, maths and chemistry. So because they don't know we are either taughted to much or to little. Our teachers are given as little information as 'Show understanding of linked genes'. This could be either teach the entirety of these topics or learn the deffinition and how to tell whetheir genes are on the same chromosome or not. I just feel sorry for my awesome bio teacher, because I know that some people ( Who dont study independantly) will blame her if she didnt cover it well enought. Previously this topic was taught in year 13 along with incomplete dominance, lethtal alleles, co-dominance, and multiple alleles.

 

 Physics, maths and chemistry were however taught in too much depth out of fear of us all failing because we wern't taught enough. For chemistry we were not given a formular sheet, even though in math and physisc we were which probably the only reason some people (again those who don't study independantly) passed. Just. Maybe with an A3?

 

Im sure that NZQA (New Zealand qualifications authority) only did this to us to try and help form a more intellegent society in the future, but along with the higher uiversity standards, they are only making it harder for us to succeed. I under stand that our education standards need to be tougher, but I just wish for a change that it was not us.... Oh well i guess we'll all just have to suck it up, study hard, and learn how to deal with being throwen in the deep end befor learning how to float.

                                                                               

                                                                           :)

Almost there, but still so far off.

So I am now half way through my exams and have done two of the three hard ones. I still have to endure chemistry and sit biology and classics (Which are super easy).

I offically have nine more days untill I finish school for the year and I can't wait, but for now I'll just study hard, spend more time with my amazing family and enjoy time spent with my awesome friends.
:)
Have an awesome week!!

Exams

So tomorrow I start final exams and I thought I'd share the cuite little gift my classics teacher gave us on our last lesson;

'Final exam good luck package'

A four leaf clover-According to legend each leaf is a symbol. The first leaf is for hope, the second for faith, the third for love and the forth for luck.

A lady bug-Lady bugs are a symbol of luck because they eat harmful crop pests.

A heart- In your heart you want to succeed so work hard to reach your goal.

A life saver-for when you're drowning in study

Paw print magnet-Keep you going in the right direction

 

The number eight is said to be lucky-Here are eight M&Ms

A lucky coin-It must stay head side up.

 

And finally a party popper-For after the exam (which is my last exam for the year)

 

End of the school year
