Quote Week: May - Day 7
"Lovely cholera...Jeeves, get me some more cholera."
- H.W.
Story behind quote:
In History, they were learning about cholera in the 19th Century. As many will know, John Snow made some very important discoveries that helped people understand the cause of the disease, but he couldn't have done it without his observations and interviews with affected citizens. Of course, he realised that all the people who were dying were getting their water from the pump on Broad Street. Along with the people who were dying in the city, there was also a particular woman, living in the countryside, who liked the taste of the water from that same pump. Little did she know that the water was spreading the disease. Here is Wicks' wonderfully hilarious impression of the woman... ;)

Weekly News Round-Up #27: 28/04/2013
Welcome to yet another Weekly News Round-Up! It's been a pretty normal week, but I think it's finally hit all of us that exams are literally a couple of weeks away. Oh dear. Anyways, let's get started...
Monday form time was slightly uneventful. We got given student surveys, where most of the questions were asked twice but in a different wording. Because it was such a dry activity, ArwaChihuahua decided to make it more interesting, for the people who would be reading them, and drew a picture of a rag doll saying, 'help me'. I agree with Wicks that it was slightly freaky.
Our first lesson of the week was History. Somehow, the topic of barcode cats cropped up. I think it was ConscienceSarah who said it would be cool to have a stripey cat that would perhaps be recognised at the till in a supermarket...?!
In book news, Wicks and Master have both started reading 'A Game of Thrones' by George R.R. Martin this week. And yes, it could mean that they will be doing a double review of it some time in the future on the Book Blog... ;)
When we got to the middle of the week, we had a rather interesting assembly, complete with a marginally interesting dance and a less interesting emergency drill. With the new emergency assembly area being the field, someone asked what would happen if the grass was on fire. In that particular scenario, we wouldn't be doing too well.
I think it's fair to say that Thursday was overall a day of great timing.
Scenario #1: In German, ANT tried to remove the clip of a pen. It was a bit of a struggle, but ANT was so determined that she even said at one point, "This will be the last thing I do if I die." Five minutes later, she says to Master, "I will get this off, I guarantee it." And right after she said it, hey presto, the clip flies off. ANT claims that she had no idea that it would do that. Currently, due to its fantastic spinning qualities, the pen clip is used as the 'Ultimate Decider'. In the event of an argument, the clip is spun and whoever it points to is correct. Sorted.
Scenario #2: At lunch, ArwaChihuahua asks where Ruby and Wicks are. Right after the words leave her mouth, they walk around the corner, as if summoned.
In that same lunchtime, they had a discussion about hell and hel again. They fantasised that perhaps heaven is like the Room of Requirement from Harry Potter. This brought on ideas that everyone got their plot of land in heaven and there were portals where you could go visit other people. Somehow, the topic took a turn and a more obscure idea was thrown around: what if the method of your death became your special power in heaven? For example, if you died in a fire on the field, your power in heaven would be fire. By the end of lunch, ANT was trying to find faults in the system and, consequently, Master got rather metaphorical in counter-acting ANT's comments.
Some of you may remember Wicks and Master's conversation about Adventuring Shoes and meeting at Dustbin Corner. Previously, Master had forgotten twice about the meeting (let's be fair, Wicks also did it once ;), so this Thursday, to ensure that the mistake is not made again, Master wrote the letters 'D.C.' on her hand. However, after a moment, the skin had become slightly raised, therefore giving the impression that it was tattooed on! At least Master didn't forget ;p [For those concerned, it was just biro and came off easily with soap and water.]
In Friday's Physics lesson, the main door to the classroom was locked. Additionally, it was hailing outside. This obviously called for the members of the class, who got into the room via the back door, to initiate lockdown. This meant closing all the blinds and shutting the back door. Pretty serious stuff.
To round off the week, ANT and Master have been getting rather competitive in racing to the door at the end of a lesson. Usually ANT waits for Master, but after a chance incident, where Master got out before ANT, it has brought about a whole new level of competition. Let's just say that it has gotten to the point that they both have their eyes on the door as soon as the bell goes. Fun times ;p
Until next week, have a good one :)

Quote Week: May - Day 6
"I'm being blinded by my own skin!"
- A.T.
Story behind quote:
This week, the sun has been out so much that ANT was finding it difficult to look at her own skin since the light bouncing into her eyes was just so bright. She even went as far as to compare it with a sheet of plain paper ;p

Great Revision Quiz Report: Physics 2
Props to everyone for being on time today! This is the first time that we have started on the dot, so I think we should count that as a pretty big achievement :)
The results:
1st - 40.5 points - Wicks (a lot of marks were awarded for describing sequences such as the life cycle of stars)
2nd - 27.5 points - ArwaChihuahua
3rd - 20 points - ANT
4th - 14 points - Wadz
-
5th - 6 points - Ruby (who only joined us for a short amount of time at the beginning)
Highlight of the session: Throughout the quiz, Wadz was pretty annoyed as she thought she wasn't being awarded enough points.
Funny moment: To put the person, who was answering, off, the others kept going right up to the camera and making faces ;p
Next time...
Monday. ANT. Biology 3. See ya there.

"...you know, their crawl brawl?"

Story behind quote:
A snippet of Master's conversation with ConscienceSarah about the scene in the last Harry Potter movie, where Voldemort and Harry are both crawling towards their respective wands for the final Avada Kedavra. It seems that Master's brawl obsession continues...

Great Revision Quiz Report: Ethics & Poetry
Tonight's quiz was hosted by the lovely ArwaChihuahua, who presented us with a fantastic set of questions on both Ethics AND Poetry. Now that's what I call killing two birds with one stone (it's just a saying, please don't attempt to harm any animals).
It should also be noted that we were joined by Wadz, who made the experience even livelier. (The more the merrier, they say)
The results:
1st - 21 points +2 points from Monday- Wicks
2nd - 17 points - ANT
4th - 14 points - Wadz
4th - 14 points - Master
Even though Ruby was in attendance, she decided to take a seat in the back and not join in the quiz. However, I think you will agree wit me that it was rather remarkable that she earned a solid 4 points by answering every now and again when no one else knew the answer. Nice one mate!
Highlight of the session: Hats and lollies are officially must-haves for the session. Wicks had her Goat hat and Wadz had a nice bear hat (that jiggled).
Funny moment: Due to ANT's webcam having some awesome effects features, there was one point where it looked like her head was on fire. Fun times ;p
Next time...
Friday. Master. Physics 2. Be there (preferably on time).
