School is over! W00t!

Yesterday afternoon was weird. Multi (sit in my niche and play tetris), Drama (strangle Diana with le headscarf and talk about Page to Stage), Careers (Mr Moriss, who we were looking forward to meeting as we'd had an entire term of substitutes in the library, completely failed to show up, as did absolutely anyone else except for Mr Harrison who wandered in, looked at a sign on the wall and wandered out again), and then Jenny The Year Nine.
Jenny: Shellyshellyshelly! Come to my house after school!
Shelly: I have work.
Jenny: Jennyjennyjenny! Come to my house after school!
Jenny: I have... uh... stuff. Yes.
Jenny: *proceeds to bug the hell out of everybody*
Me: Alright already! I'll come to your house! I have to buy bread anyway.

So we go to her apartment via maroubra mall, boost and a lobby with pebbles in it. She has the music to Colours of the wind, and when she found out I knew the words she insisted on playing accompanyment and recording it. It sounded absolutely terrible. I did I mean, she was fine, she just kept stopping. So i'm definitely starting singing lessons again next term.

Today we had an incrrrredibly boring ANZAC assembly with a lietenant colonel to tune out to and a nice revellie to face Cleveland street to. I made a paper airplane from the program and wondered why I felt the growing bile of hypocrisy rising in my throat. I had the strongest urge to do a "we aren't fucking australian citizens, we're human beings, and if nine soldiers matter more than a million innocent africans or whatever, something is WRONG" speech. Maybe for soapbox sometime. I'll have to see if I can insert it into my planned "just because it doesn't affect us doesn't mean it's somebody elses problem" speech, otherwise I'll just pick one and then do the other some other time.

And in science we watched a movie about evolution. Which reminds me - the creationists are really getting to me. It's perfectly simple: If there is creation, there is no science. Period. Biology will be first up against the wall, physics will be heavily stepped on, and chemistry will die a slow painful death as it is deprived of purpose, research areas and funding for anything except medicine. Basically, it doesn't MATTER whether God created us or not - if he did, he made us to look like we'd evolved, and science without evolution theory has so many holes in it you may as well give up and go fishing, so even the people who believe God created everything, if they want to have ANYTHING to do with science, have to do science as though evolution exists. It's okay to be a creationist in your spare time.

Another segment in the long, LONG story of my computer's apparant slow reconstruction. Firstly, I have now got my old harddrive back, in an external case. The existence of Which my computer refused to recognise until I prodded it. Secondly, my sound continues absent, and my dads work guy was unhelpful. It seems we must contact the motherboard people - ASUS. My dad bought the thing in Queensland, so a return would require yet more lengthy computerless time. The alternative is to call their office in Sydney. My dad goes to their website. There are two numbers listed: one for Brisbane and the other for Melbourne. Neither of them actually connect to ASUS. In fact, the Brisbane number has belonged to someone else for eighteen months. Talk about out of date. So the OTHER alternative is to just buy an actual soundcard, which will probably have better quality than the one in the motherboard anyway. Wheee.

sLEEEP.
