Back to school AGAIN!!

I felt better today (or rather, as long as I wasn't dying, Mum was going to send me in anyway) so I went back into school. Didn't really do much. Put some margerine and vegetable oil in boiling water and then bromine water to test for saturates.
In history we did some work on why WWI ended. I had to explain why I put the list of reasons in my own order of importance (USA joining the war, the Allies having better weaponry, the number of German casualties, the Ludendorff plan failing, the blockade of Germany and the Allied tanks breaking through enemy lines) and I made myself look like an idiot.
"And yeah, the Allies having better weaponry was important because, well it was important to have weapons, right? Then the Germans couldn't, like, fight or anything because most of them were dead, then they were really confused and annoyed because of that Ludendorff thing, and all the Germans were starving. And oh yeah, the tanks." not the height of my eloquence, I'm sure.
In maths we played a weird game. You had to get into teams of two or three, so I ended up with Cameron and Ben. We were CASOBEN!!! It's genius right? Each team had £200 pounds to start off with. We were companies who were selling items that cost £20 to make for around £50. Then you had to work out how much you spent on advertising and told the teacher, and he put it into this computer program that said how many items you sold and what your starting balance was for the next round. We came fourth out of eight groups.
Then at lunch, me and Chloe were discussing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that her seven-year-old brother read aloud from books like. A. Robot.
Didn't really do much in German. Something about dative, nominative and accusative things. Why do I need to know these things for German? Nobody told me this when I was learning English, and I understand it alright.
Art was fun. The teacher keeps giving us our work back after we've finished it, so we turned the sheet over and drew pictures all over it. Me and Meghann drew eyes everywhere, and I drew a pretty Indian patterny sort of flower and a giant green smiling thing. I can't remember what Chloe drew, but at one point she drew a Celtic cross to explain what one was to Meghann. Then Henry drew the aliens from Toy Story and we drew beards and grass skirts on them. Then We wrote things. Chloe wrote 'Do you smoke weed or do you smoke astroturf?' it's from Bowie, by Flight of the Conchords.
After that, I came home, managed to turn my camera on, uploaded some software and now I'm here.

I'm trying to win the Fashion Show on mydivadoll.com YES Dad, I know basically what you're thinking. You get like 60 virtual quid for winning though, and a sash that says Miss OhMyDollz (they're really slowly changing the British version to look like the French version, because the company who owns the site is French) I enter all the time, and I think I've actually got an alright look going on.
This is the girl who won last week's competition:
I don't mean to be the jealous type (but I am, I can't help it). This is my current outfit - and I'm working on another one:
(just in case this comes out weird, I'm the one with blonde hair.

  1. You should have told your maths teacher that you were going to use your Dads company to deliver a viral marketing campaign which would have a significantly cheaper cost of conversion than your luddite competitors and therefore you win, destroying their brands in the process.
