On Monday we had our study skills day at school. It was actually super helpful, and I feel energised to study more consistently this term (a concept foreign to a study crammer/procrastinator like me).
The funny thing was that after the study skills bbq thing, the prefects had scheduled a meeting for the Anzac Day Ceremony on the Tuesday and we were in our meeting room, discussing, when our Year Advisor Mr S comes in and says "Hey guys..I actually booked another speaker for everyone in the afternoon but I forgot to tell you guys so most of the people outside have gone home..."
So we ended up having a secluded/private session with the speaker (who was teaching us about pencil grips or something).
On Tuesday in the afternoon we had our Anzac Day Ceremony! Ran smoothly, although all of us were pretty stiff after standing at ease/attention on the stage for about half and hour lol. TJ says he nearly fainted which is pretty scary stuff! :(
On Wednesday we had our public holiday cos it was Anzac Day and all the Prefects, which is kind of a traditional thing, went to Arthur Whitling Park in Castle Hill to attend the Dawn Service. Lol AM had slept over at my house on the Tuesday night so my dad could drive us both to the Service and when our alarms rang at 5am, it was still pitch black outside, and AM was like "It's not Dawn Service..it's midnight service." Lol. Regardless we got there on time and wactehd the sun rise as we paid our respects to those brave soldiers :)
JJ's photography. So many people turned up at the park that next year they actually have to move the venue to somewhere bigger
Then we got free breakfast at Castle Hill RSL :) After the breakfast it was still only 8something in the morning but since we had got up so early, it felt odd, like it was already 3 in the afternoon.
Wednesday night was JP'S birthday! I had to get there from maths tutor at Castle Hill and I was trying to research how to walk to the restaurant from Parramatta Station by using googlemaps and HAHA I'm so silly cos I had supposedly reached the restaurant address (as googlemaps had indicated) but the picture was a bunch of work buildings and I was so confused, trying to zoom into the buildings to see if the restaurant to see if it was hiding behind there and going all the way up and down the street again to see if I'd missed it (because by now I was convinced that googlemaps was utterly untrustworthy) when about an hour later I realised it was right across the street from the work buildings. Lol I'm a genius

On Thursday my sister made a cake for her friend's birthday! I ehlped a little (by being the professional taste tester)
Drizzling chocolate over the berries on top of the cake :) Inside, the cake is two layers with rasberry cream in the middle
:)
Strawberries!
Long post today! Anyway, better crawl back to bed and recuperate as unfortunately I got sick from the Dawn Service (it was suepr cold in the morning and our school blazers are pretty thin)
Love: Michelle
P.S. We gave Biscuit a new toy this week-FISH :) SO cute! Haha when Biscuit has her fish in her mouth we call her a fisherdog, cos it looks like she was down at the lake and is bringing back her winnings...
