The Home Straight

I can't believe this year has gone so fast, it seems unbelievable that I only have five more days left of Wellesley.

I don't know how I'm going to stay on track this week, everything feels so hectic, especially with my aunt coming to stay from Israel and everything else that's going on.

This year has had so many highlights, it would be hard to choose just five, but if I had to, I would choose:


1. French & English. My favourite outdoor activity of all time.
2. Independent Study. I'm going to miss the work ethic in 7/8T surrounding I.S. when I leave for college.
3. Literature Quiz. It's the only proper quiz-competition I've ever been in, complete with buzzers and the whole she-bang!
4. The Illuminati. This cult has dominated our class whiteboard for weeks and I love it.
5. Hunger Games- Mockingjay Part One. Peeta goes crazy and it's quite funny.

If I were to choose three tips for a new Year 7 coming into 7/8T they would be:

1. If you try and continue the Asparagus trend, the Illuminati will get you.
2. Don't get lampooned on your first day.
3. Treat the honourable Mr Klox with respect. He needs an offering every day.

I've read A LOT of good books this year, in and out of class, but the winner by a landslide would be Skulduggery Pleasant and the Dying of the Light. With a hilarious twist ending and a great summary of the previous eight books, with all the loose ends being tied up, it is an absolute masterpiece.
