So its been another long, busy week and its getting colder now, although half of the country is in the middle of a drought. I decided since it was especially cold today that I would start reading The Scarlet Letter, although I just finished act four of Othello, and hate reading more that one thing at a time. I also stated to knit a scarf, which is currently 30cm in length (about quarter of the way done!).

School is getting progressively more challenging, but still no where near as difficult as last year, which is great. I have decided to do scholarship English, because it is my best subject and I actually don't mind thought of the extra external exam or learning twice as much in that particular area.

Have an amazing week :)

Shakespear day 2013

Shakespeare day is another tradition of the SGHS year thirteens, we all dress up as people form his plays. Two of my friends and I decided to dress as the three witches from Macbeth.

The school day started as usual; we went to tutor time, then to first period. We headed to the west hall to see a performance of King Lear by The Ugly Shakespeare Company, which was absolutely hilarious.

Mrs Browning (The principle) then came to talk to us about the ball. We now have a date, which is later in the year than normal. I see that as an advantage rather than an issue because I have longer to get ready and buy everything I need, but I still do not have a partner to go with.

After that we paraded around the quad and then finished by having a Shakespearean banquet style lunch and a quiz (which was actually fun).

Here are some pics from the day:



Have an awesome day :) 

Sports day!

So this Tuesday was our annual school sports day, which is the one event that can double your house point. Sadly Mansfield went from being second to being third, but I'm not worried because music and drama are our best events.

Sadly we (The year thirteens) missed out on the tradition of having a water fight with the boys high prefects, instead we started the (possible) tradition of doing the Harlem shake in the middle of the track. It hasn't been put on youtube though. We took this picture, and then our last sports day ever was over


You probably cant see me, but I'm in the back.

Here are more pics from the day:



This was my 'costume'.



I spent a lot of time on the back field standing in for my house captain, who was doing competitive sports . It was really cool, but after two hours I owed half of my house lollies.

We also won fashion in the field, which was cool. 









Have a great day :)
