Dear Blog !
Did you know that there is an actual species called a LIGER ? Its a cross between a lion and a tiger ! It is huge ! Its soo unbelievable. We were shown one in the first part of history today. History at Branksom Hall as well as T.O.K (Theory of knowledge) are the most enjoyable classes that I have because they are the most interesting ! Not just because of the subject itself but how they are taught. We at Tamaki do a lot of book work, (which I love, nothing wrong with it) but there are more discussions which I personally think makes you think more, because copying out of a text book is just kind of too easy. Anyway, in these two classes they do more discussions about questions, and with 80 minute classes a lot can be achieved ! History is full of discussions and right now we are learning about Joesph Stalin and we have come to the part where we talk about the way Stalin eliminated religion then used it again to his advantage . That of course got the discussion of religion going and once again Christine was the minority ! In T.O.K we talked about how tradition is being lost and its not really encouraged to learn your own background & tradition. Christine was the minority again ! After coming from somewhere , where I am part of the hundreds who go to church & love learning about traditions and history , it's hard to believe that people across the world do things differently. Today is Friday 29th. I think its the 29th :) anddd this week coming up is ALL ABOUTTTT SPIRITTTT WEEEK :) orange orangeee & orangeeee .. thats the colour of my clang (house) & we have cheer practice on Sunday :O They seriously go all out here when it comes to competition :) Plusss , if all goes well , I may start my investigation on whether "Environment effects maturity" which will be sooo interesting. My new friends here will be helping me produce a film noir for school :) which I cant wait for. Going to love it . :) Well that's how my trip in Canada is going soooo far ..
Keep you posted .
Oh and ps - I am nailing biology :) Mr Dewan went over Enzymes about a million times last year and they have just started the unit this year :) I feel like a genius !!!
