    Did our final essay on Saturday. It took three hours so we were a bit worried if we hadn't forgotten anything (the time for writing is 6 hours) but everything seemed okay. Well, we shall see in about two months.

    Oh, and the topic was something like: Everything has a price, but a little has value.
    If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.

    I imagine it's a contest where people compete to see who can best lip synch to a song, as opposed to who can best sing it.

    She probably doesn't know what lip synch is. Lip synch is when you mouth the words to a song as if you're singing it. A contest then would be who best could make it look as if you're actually singing when you're just mouthing.

    Oh my goodness, six hours are quite a lot! But then, it all depends on the word limit. What was the word limit for your essay?

    I just told a guy that I liked him today and now I'm wincing and waiting to see what the damage is tomorrow. (This is middle school, there is no neutral. Only extreme damage or complete victory- think war.) I'm just happy I had the guts and nerve to do so... Hope the essay went well Taliesin! It sounds like things went by smoothly.

    Sure !! I have an extra helmet too, just in case someone asked for a ride

    Where do you wish to go?

    Btw, you do know I am still practicing ?

    This sales person at the showroom said he'll teach me how to ride, so he took me to a safe road, not much traffic, and gave me the charge saying "Okay, so I have explained everything now you can start." I was obviously excited and a bit nervous too about the controls, but, I said "Okay."

    I had to press the break and push the start button, I did it several times and IT DID NOT START !! Keeping my control (although at the back of my mind I was thinking "@#$ You gave me a faulty vehicle" ) I asked him -- "Bhaiya (meaning brother) this is not starting, what could be wrong?" He very coolly said "You need to use the keys in the ignition" and I was like "Oh, Okay"

    Aw, don't feel bad, Maddie. I do stuff like that too. You will get used to that scooter in no time. I would love to see all the beautiful nature spots, and maybe some museums. Er, can't forget about a cafe, so we can sit and have soft drinks or tea and some snacks. Snacks are good.

    Congratulations bookinator! That takes a lot of guts(i know too well the war-like,black and white nature of middle and highschool life). I hope everything goes well with you too! How could they refuse an intelligent,charming person as yourself?
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    this isn't really a boast, it's more like a YEEEEEEHAA HURRAY

    my fave teacher has just asked me to teach a tutorial to go along with his advanced course
    well, I can't do it this term coz I'm already teaching 4 tutorials for my current boss's foundation course, but I'm so happy he asked me straight away after they decided there would be tutorials for the advanced courses as of now.

    maybe i can do it next term
