Stress

It's quite okay, I mean some students are better yet some are worse under stress. For example, A and B are twins. They are put under the exact same amount of pressure. But A can cope and B can't. What does this show? If that happens, it's not the authorities' fault right?

It also isn't very smart of teachers to give their students LOADS of stress, but when it is still considered just, some students like to complain and I hate that. It's so annoying.

So could those complain kings and queens out there PLEASE stop?

Manchester United

Today I'm going to tell you guys about my favourite football club, MANCHESTER UNITED!! Manchester United is a very old club compared to Chelsea, a club WAY younger than United. They have won 17 premier league titles and a LOT of silverware, so you can imagine. Sir Alex Ferguson, who has taken United to 'glory' many times, and United, after putting up a great fight are 5 points ahead of title rivals Liverpool, and 13 points ahead of Arsenal.

1998's issue should not appear again, when United, who were 12 points ahead of Arsenal, had so many injuries that they 'led' Arsenal to the title. This was major grief to United. This year, there were also many injuies, but they are a very big club and can cope with such things now that they have matured. I hope United will strive this season. They may even have a chance to win four titles! Edwin Van Der Sar only needs one more game to beat the European world record of 14 clean sheets. (If he wins, he'll have 15)

United is a strong club and they WILL survive. All the fans of the big four, inclusing Aston Villa, watch out.

P5 Camp

I loved P5 Camp! Actually, I was worried before going as I knew I would miss my parents and little sis, and I must confess I am very happy it is over. Our trainer said that a lot of bad things happened at camp, like when we were conquering the wall, he told us not to conquer it alone, your friends should be by your side when you climb it, as people ran and jumped, and they couldn't catch hold of the edge and fell on their heads as a result.

The activities were super fun but we couldn't do the rock wall as it rained, and according to my trainer, "hecan't control the weather." I liked the CRC. I didn't get to try the tyres which were hanging at different places, but I tried the cargo net and the one with the gigantic truck tyres where we crawled through. Shaun (our trainer) scared us a bit with his 'Be safe. A lot of things happened at camp before.', but it was cool all the same.

Campfire night was amazing! We combined with Group 6, and we did the one on idols. I was the host, and the Sarimbun monkeys were so funny. Even though I already seen it once (during rehearsal), I still laughed when they presented it the second time.

I felt worried everytime they said 'shower'. I don't know why. In actual fact, I love water, and showering makes no difference, but I just felt so nervous everytime they talked about lunch, or dinner, or sleep, or bathing. It was just retarded.

I didn't like all of our group members, but they were okay. When we were doing the song session, I liked it a lot. I like just settling down, and having fun with my friends and trainers! I didn't see our teacher's a lot, but I walked past the cabin. Theirs looked comfortable... >: (

On the last day, our task was very easy. We had to find lost and found items. We had to form groups of five and set off by the destination the teacher assigned. Mine? The girl's toilet. We found a lot of underwear and we had to put in in old trash bags. I mean, that sucks!! I was skeptical when Mac, the camp chief said that due to the recession the gift shop closed. I think he didn't let us go because there was no more time.

Overall, camp was fun and interesting. I took away a lot from camp, but I left my fear of heights there. I loved abseiling, and if anybody was going for an adventure camp like that, I'm in!

Hobbies

Hi everybody! So, recently I've been told to write about my hobbies. Well, they are reading, playing soccer, playing pool and I hope that one day I'll write driving when I get my license!

I'm more active and that's why I will cover 1 and 2 first. Reading and soccer are worlds apart. My favourite book (Thanks to my friend's reminder) is the Graveyard Book. Neil Gaiman is a wonderful author and I have read two of his books, Interworld and the Graveyard Book. Much as it seems, The Graveyard Book is not scary. The end is a bit of a tearjerker and I like Silas, whom although not stated, is a vampire (I think). Interworld is about a boy named Joey Harker who walks straight out of his own world and into another dimension. Read Interworld to find Joey's link between the characters in the other dimension.

Soccer is an amazing game, it is a bit pointless, twenty men chase one ball and one of them kicks it in between two poles and run around while taking off their shirt at the same time. But I love the game. It is just so interesting and the pressure just makes it more appealing. I support Man U despite constant weighing downs by some people who say I'm a Chelsea fan...

To be very very honest, I've never played a full game of pool before. I just watch it on TV and I like the way it is played.

I LOVE cars. I like the Lexus and the Chevrolet. The black for both colours is cool, and the yellow for the Chevrolet Corvette is amazingly fun-looking, even though I hate yellow. I want to get my driving license as soon as possible so I can get a car!

That's all for my hobbies. Please excuse any typing errors, I've been typing this without looking at the keyboard.

Signing off,

Nic. (Nicole, 5I)
