Us Conquerers

Today's General Knowledge Question:
What is meant by the term 'geocentric universe'? [Answered by Divya: It is a universe where Earth is at the centre and the sun and all the planets revolve around it.]

The closer the exams are, the shorter the days seem to be, to me. Just now, we did not get to do much during English as thirteen of us were taking part in the University of New South Wales' International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (UNSW's ICAS). It was a Science paper and as I flipped through the paper, I think it was slightly difficult but I am confident the Gs can do well on it.

Meanwhile, the rest of the class did some comprehension questions.

After that, we went through the meaning of first, second and third person, because judging from the English Activity Book, most of the Gs have no clue what they mean. So I had the help of Divya, Skyler and Ashley and demonstrated. One of the examples I gave for 'first person' was that "I AM QUEEN OF ALL THE LAND!" The class immediately groaned. (As expected.)

OK, so it is fine for Naveed to write a manual about taking over the world, for Bryan to collect Blu Tac in effort to conquer the world, and for the Hope boys to turn into vampires by turning up their collars???? And it is not fine for me to claim myself as QUEEN OF ALL THE LAND????

Anyway. Getting on. Math periods were spent going through 2006's SA1 paper. I took the pains of explaining each and every question so that those among you who are too shy to approach me to clarify your doubts, will benefit from it.

We have covered the syllabus, we have practiced with past year papers and you have half-killed me with your endless questions. You are bright young people. So, I see no reason why we can't do well in the coming SA1. DO NOT let carelessness and laziness get in the way of success!

At this point, this is not about doing well or not doing well. This is about getting an A or an A*! (Above 80 only.) Bs and Cs are absolutely unacceptable. I have a good mind to have you come back for remedials in June if you get less than an A for any subject.

Let's get through this together!

See you tomorrow!

[Update on theft cases: We are getting closer to the actual capture but I do not want to reveal the suspects yet. I have a new approach for the patrol team to tackle this. We already have a schedule so none of them misses out on recess too much. However, we need more recruits. Non-prefects, preferably. If interested, please approach me personally.]
