Vie De Classe

Well it’s about -3 degrees outside and about 20 or something in this classroom. The boy opposite me just poked his tongue out at me but I know he’s just pissed, at this class. Not surprised. In vie de classe all we do is talk about how the class is doing. Like who is being bullied by who and who is being a bitch. Nothing new. The teacher was shocked when I told her we didn’t have classes like this in Australia. I mean we have councilling where you spill your guts to a complete stranger, but we don’t have the WHOLE class there to listen to you. Lots of kids are still staring at my Aussie tattoos that I wore for Australia day, yesterday. Today I took my left ears’ stud out and put in my feather ear ring. Remember the one that I wore when you, Shan and me went fishing Mum? They’ve also been pointing at that too. When I was in China I bought a shit-load of jewellery. I bought a necklace that had a metal ball with a smaller ball inside it. Mum thought it was great and I am wearing that now too. Now they’re talking about me in the class. Asking what affect I have on them and all that shit. Translation, I’m screwed. Not that I have done anything bad. I try to get a long with all of them but they can get a little annoying. There’s loads of talking. I think they like me, I HOPE they like me. I had a good lunch yesterday. This packet/pocket thing that was battered/fried. The inside was egg and a yummy sauce. The pocket itself was made out of cows’ leg, I think. That was companied with steamed (canned veggies that have been heated) vegetables that tasted alright. We had my 2^nd favourite desert. My favourite is a little tub (like a yougert tub) of chocolate moose with whipped cream on top. It’s called a Dannette. My 2^nd favourite is a chocolate eclier. YUM!!! Like chocolate moose that is surrounded by a puff pastry that pretty much desolves in your mouth. And to top it all off it has chocolate icing on the top. Mouth watering! Other than that nothing is happening and I better get ready to go to my next class.

1:22p.m. A few seconds into Science

Ok so lunch has just finished. I’m 113 pages into the book CARRIE written by Stephen King. Very good book. This’ll be my 2^nd time, reading it, and I now understand more. Mum says she read the book and watched the movie (I think) and she said it was ok (I think!). She also said Stephen King was in a car accident and his writing changed. She said she read/watched Christine and she liked it, but when she read Diary of a Cannibal she hated it. Christine was before the car crash and Diary of a Cannibal was after. I haven’t seen or read either of them so I wouldn’t know. I have read Carrie and watched the 1974 movie and the 2007 remake. I’ve also watched Pet Semetary and Pet Semetary 2. Both where good. I remember reading/watching something about the little boy who played Gage. I think he became a famous child actor but when he got to his teens he started to experiment with drugs and he died in his early 20’s, I think. At lunch we had a similar dish to the one that we had in my… second week of school here. It’s like a beef stew and it also has noodles. They’re like the ones you get in a Chinese/Tai take away box. Not too bad I liked yesterdays more. They’re having a Science test today so that’s why I am not participating.
