Today's Highlights
well... my Grandma said anus. at dinner. Hmm... awkward.somehow- still a great time, as my cousin and uncle kept trying to get her to say it again (she didnt really know that she had said it, she was trying to pronounce some spice. yet- gt's had by all) :)
The big news...!!!
I got a 141 out of 130 on my math exam!!!!! eek! I cant even believe it. =)
heres the bonus question, try your hand at it....
Shannyn has more than 5 pencils. Her friend, Craig has three times as many pencils as Shannyn. Shannyn gives 5 pencils to Craig and then Craig gives Shannyn three times as many pencils as Shannyn had after the initial exchange. How many pencils does Craig have after both exchanges? (show all work and logic for full credit--only the names were changed, for entertainment value)
-one tip of advice for life, if there are reports of severe thunderstorms, and tornado watches... wear goggles before going for a run- cuz debri and random trees are blowing everywhere. and they will get in your eye. but it sure is gor-ge-ous.
It really got the song "Beautiful One" stuck in my head. (no, i decided not to take my ipod with me... just didnt seem smart-like i might want to have optimal use of all of my senses-- and there was enough noise/ music coming from nature and the wind through, well- everything)
-getting something of a life invitation...hmmm, still not sure of the words to reply to that one...
-ending the evening with a movie in a candle filled room cuddled with my sister and mum.
...and now my sister is gone, and i think i bombed todays math quiz... hmm... "another day another destiny, this never ending road to calvary" -Les Mis always appropriate
hope youre having smiles!

What the? Why are you doing maths??
Ok, it's been a while, but I'm going to say:
- After first exchange, Craig has 3S + 5, which means he has >20 pencils, since S>5.
- After second exchange, he has 3S +5 - 3(S-5), which means he has 20 sticks.
Just humour me if I'm wrong, my fragile ego couldn't handle it :D . My excuse will be that I'm still wiping away the tears from that opening line. Way to go grammy!

What I am still trying to deal with is the fact that in America you can get more than %100 in a math test!
Our American lecturer was telling us why it was really weird & different marking stuff here in Australia & now I understand why!
congrats go to you jt for your correct deduction! nice work.
-n' tim, its jus the extra credit.. of which i will except gratefully with arms wide open :)
-and Sara.... me = busted out laughing. =) *sigh* remember when you first told me that story?! wow... aww.. twas on our way back from our 1st venture into ye ol' city of sydney~ thankfully, with the bus NOT getting stuck in an un-naturally steep driveway. who does that anyway? oh now i remember...a church of loco aussies- thats who... ;-) t-hehe

Gheever & I realised that if you combined the author with the writing habit you get <3 = 'Kat's Bum'!!!!
We don't have extra credit in Australia. Strangely, we work in the concept that 100% is the most you can get in something. 100=perfect!
Tim+now=finished with this comment!
hahaha..hmmm... i believe we'll have to discuss this lil deduction of my signature. lol
and well, you know americans..we're a glutunous people by nature;... supersize-bonus sizes- buy one get one free- extra credit.... (perhaps its because we know that we're not going to do very well continually- so its just another way of making up for our lackings..)
hmmmmm...
-kat's bum
