Weekly News Round-Up #18: 03/02/2013

Well, hello again! Not a lot has gone on this week, but here goes...

Monday morning was pretty intense as ANT and Master kicked off the week with some intense college applying. You have no idea how difficult it was for them to just press the 'send application' button, so they eventually did a little 3-2-1 countdown and pressed the button at the same time. Gosh, it was pretty nerve-wracking!

Later on at lunchtime, ArwaChihuahua managed to spot an ANT look-a-like. Even though she was taller and had a different hair colour, all of us, apart from ANT, agreed that there was a certain resemblance there. Meanwhile, ANT got rather annoyed at this, especially when they decided to go over and talk to 'Ginger ANT' as they like to call her ;p

Another discovery that ANT made that lunchtime was that her yogurt drink tasted like liquid 'Love Hearts' (y'know, those sweets?) How delightful :)

On Tuesday, Wicks, ANT and Master talked a little about games and some of the glitches. During the conversation, Nintendogs was mentioned, to which ANT complained how when you go on walks you always try to go for the presents, but half of the time it turns out to be someone criticising your dog. It was also brought up that you can never win in the obedience competition. Master found it strange that the dogs always seemed to be eating the side of the bowl instead of the stuff inside it. Other glitches in games that were brought up were such as in Sims when they try to walk but there's an obstacle in the way, so they end up walking but still stay on the same spot. Other times, for example on FIFA, the player's body happens to be in the ground but the feet are on top of the ground, so it just ends up looking peculiar.

In their weekly PE lesson, they had the principal observing. It was truly surprising to ANT and Master that when the principal went over to talk to their group, the one to answer was the guy who wrote 'sehr quick' in his German assessment (you remember him?) He turned out to be a seemingly confident speaker.

Later on in the lesson, they were in the fitness suite. There was one incident where ANT was on the rowing machine and decided to let the chain pull her back (as if she were Spiderman), however it didn't end all too well as the seat got stuck at the end and she had to pull it out. Afterwards, ANT looked around, hoping that no one saw her, but there's always one person who saw it all happen and in this case it was Master. Lol ;p

A rather large discussion topic this week has been the argument about whether you'd choose a wand over a gun to protect yourself. Many argued that they would need a lot of training in order to use a wand effectively, however it could potentially be a much more useful weapon than a gun. The group was pretty torn between both options, whilst ANT decided to play devil's advocate.

This week we have seen the return of the Assembly Music Act Record! We're all very excited that it is back and cannot wait to see if the previous record can be beaten.

History lessons this week have been filled with more discussions about the similarities between Harry Potter and Jesus. However the main topic has been the Book Club, which was set up on Friday. They did a lot of planning, so I think it's safe to say that there will be a lot going on in the coming weeks! Exciting :)

On Friday, ShoeLobber, ANT and Master did a German presentation on their supposed holiday together to the Amazonian rainforests on Llama with David Attenborough, Blitzen the Reindeer, Tarzan and Pocahontas. (No, this didn't really happen, but could you imagine if it did...it would be awesome!)

Until next week, have a good one :)
