On Sunday, I slept in till 10, which is the latest since arriving here. Then at 3 pm I took a train with a bunch of friends to Wellington for the Pheonix soccer game. It was ok; soccer isn't as intense as rugby.
Monday night I did my rotary speech. I think it went well, even though it was only like 10 minutes long. People had lots of questions though. I think I kinda scared them when I started talking about winter. Everyone was shocked when I told them how cold it gets.
Tuesday I went to Wellington again. The drama kids in my school made a movie and it was playing in the Paramount Theater, so basically everyone from school went. It was a legit movie too, like 1.5 hours and really good effects.
Wednesday and today I went to the mall after school. Tomorrow is the ball and I'm really excited!
On Saturday, Me, Anna, Danielle, and Dezi took a bus into Wellington and went shopping. Sunday Peter and his wife took me and the Brazilian girl Carol out to breakfast then for a cable car ride.
Monday and Tuesday I just went to school and then to the mall afterwards. Wednesday I went smallbore rifle shooting haha. I was really good actually, considering I've never shot a gun before.
Today (thursday), I didn't have my chemistry homework done. Not that it really matters, we don't get graded on it. Anyways, the teacher gave me this paper and it was to replace the homework that I didn't do. It said, "Copy the words on this side of the page onto the other side in neat handwriting." and then there was this big apology to my teacher. As soon as she gave it to me, I started laughing cause I thought it was a joke. Then I got in trouble again.
School is really easy here. Especially since we don't get homework or tests (none that we're graded on at least) until the NCEA exams. School technically ends on November 2, but starting on Nov. 14, there are the exams which go throughout the month and basically you just show up at school whenever you have a scheduled exam.
During history, we usually get one page to read and then we do nothing for the rest of the hour. For spanish, I can probably speak better spanish than my teacher, and he's not even in the classroom for most of the spell. In english we're just reading a Shakespeare play. For math, we're starting calculus. We just took a math "test" a couple days ago, but you only needed to get 2 questions right in order to pass. As for tourism, my teacher actually came up to me and told me I might want to switch out because the class is so easy and slow paced. Chemistry is basically the only class that requires any amount of work from me.
