This post is long overdue, I'm trying post every 3 or 4 days. If I post this quickly, enough, it'd just fit into the 4 day mark. But I'm struggling to find things to write about. I could talk about the impending doom of the half yearly HSC economics exam but nobody wants to hear that drivel. They hear enough of it already at school. I can't write about basketball because none of you can appreciate it. But luckily, I found something to talk about today. I just watched The Hurt Locker because my dad got it for me. I will not explain his methods. But it is a rather good film. I think it was really deep but I didn't get a lot of it so that took away some of its potential. What I mean is that there's a lot more to it than a couple of IEDs and wire snipping. Actually, I think it'd be great as a related text for the Human Condition so for whoever hasn't got a related text, is desperate for one and actually reads this blog, then you can use The Hurt Locker. It's a win-win. You get to watch a good movie whilst (indirectly) doing your essay. There is actually quite an amount of humour in it as well as shockers. Whilst it's not not for the faint hearted, don't go into the movie expecting an easy ride. There will be explosions that take you by surprise. Especially the last bomb, heck that gave me a jolt.
Oh well, I missed the 4 day mark. Not gonna stop me 'cos I'm halfway through. And how to finish...oh yes. I think Thai and Kalana were asking around at lunch (and by around, I mean just the Stoop) about the school's social environment and our opinions on this. Seeing what they got down, it doesn't put Baulko in a good light. Our grade is quite segregated. Groups are very clearly marked and only a few converse with others of other groups. The grade is very competitive, however, that can be said with the ENTIRE school. But I think we are competitive in petty things, like Peggle. However, with that being said, not everything about our grade society is negative. Those groups are tight and support each other and competition is a good thing ( also economically) because it pushes everything to do that little bit more. But that is just the social environment. The physical environment, ie the school itself, is rather atrocious. School infrastructure is outdated, the bottom oval does not have grass and our drainage system is ineffective. BUT, this does make the school cosy. Think about it. Aside from being easy to navigate (Ruse has the WORST school layout. It's like a sprawled piece of grass with a couple of dots of concrete. And the Bball courts are on the other side of the school. What is up with that?!), going into one of Baulko's classrooms gives you a sense of warmth and acceptance (except for the metalwork rooms. That place is COLD).
Well, this post was rather bad and a failure so I'll just end it with a picture of a hot chick. She's Asian so by hot I mean pretty. I find that Asian chicks aren't hot, exactly. Perhaps I will discuss this later. Or the Guide to High Fiving. Both are good topics.
Linda Chung. HK actress/singer. I ain't a HK TV/film/music industry buff so I don't know a lot about her. And also prolly not the best picture of her but I'm tired and I don't have those fancy Asian forum accounts.
