Weekly News Round-Up #43: 01/12/2013

So, the first thing that ANT says on Monday is, "I put up my Christmas tree this weekend". Note: It was still November on Monday.

One the same day, ANT and Master had a little debate about a certain painting in the study room. Master claimed that it featured a man with a map, however ANT believed that the map was a tablecloth.

There was a little more confusion in the Stats lesson. ConscienceSarah and Mexx Bear talked about Starbursts (sweets/candy) and there was a question about the probability of some men getting ill. Also, ConscienceSarah drew a wonderful scene in the middle of a question. Take a look here:

It was also a rare Club Week, which called for us all to do some tennis. It must also be noted that not much tennis was involved in the session. There was some difficulty regarding keys to courts and who should go and get the right key... To end the day, we did a little singing. And when I say 'we', I mean everyone, apart from ArwaChihuahua and ANT.

The most part of the week was spent discussing Alexis' old YouTube channel, which currently does not have any videos on it. Triangle and The Appalling One dedicated an entire lunchtime to making fun of a video that used to be on Alexis' channel. At the beginning of the video, Alexis does a little half-spin on the chair, however, during lunch, the story morphed into Alexis uploading a whole chair-spinning video. I think it's fair to say that everyone, apart from Alexis, had a good laugh about it all ;p

For Christmas, Master promised ConscienceSarah some new staples for a very small stapler. Master measured the staples and concluded that they were 7mm in width. Now, where are we gonna find staples of that size...?

Amusing (at least I think so) anecdote: ANT contemplated getting Master and advent calendar for Christmas. It was only later that she realised that it would defeat the whole point of the calendar to gift it to someone on Christmas Day.

Second amusing (well, not really) anecdote: On #Minecraft, Master was trying to place down some blocks, whist ANT had a jolly good time blocking Master's path.

On Friday, ANT shared with us her absolute favourite Twitter page: Nailed It. Let me tell you now, it's fantastic.

Friday was also a good day as the cafeteria was selling chips in ANT's favourite shape. Yes, ANT has a favourite chip shape. Who doesn't? And if you were wondering what shape of chip ANT favours, it's just the normal sort, not the curly fries. Now, if this scenario seems incomplete, let me complete it for you now: Master couldn't help but have a little chuckle at the salt sachet. And I'd be lying if I said that there wasn't a comment or two about packaing.

The weekend was an interesting one. We found ourselves downloading Snapchat. This prompted a competition between ANT and Master (two of the most fiercely competitive people. Well, not quite)...the 'Selfie with the Most Insignificant Object' Contest. So far, we've had a #sinkselfie, #bottleselfie, #hooverselfie, #toiletrollselfie and #tvselfie with Bradley Walsh (?) on the telly. We'll keep you posted on any more selfies.

Until next week, have a good one ;)
