I installed an awesome new skin on my blog. It’s activated now and it features two widget sidebars, which is good! So if anyone actually reads this, please feel free to comment on the new skin in the comments!

[TABLE=2]
Today was my first day of school! Today i officially started Year 11 at Eden Marine High School. I’m about to embark on the final two years of school - senior school. A time in which i hope to grow, experience new things, discover things about myself and more.
Today we went to our old seat, as usual. Sat around until bell time, as usual. And then went to assembly, as usual. Then we went to the gym and got our time tables, outlines of courses, and chose out sport, etc. Today i had:
- Period 2: Physics
- Period 3: English Advanced
- Period 4: Ancient History
- Period 5: Mathematics
We had spent all of period 1 getting our stuff, and talking about responsibilities and crap, so we went straight off to period 2. Physics - Oh joy!
Physics was good; we basically did nothing. Just talked half an hour first about basic school things, and responsibilities, etc. A big long blurb about Senior years and the HSC. Then we went into the actual Physics course, what we’ll be covering, when we hand things in, etc. We’ll be covering things like motion, space, electricity, etc. Which should be pretty interesting (im hoping)!
Next was english. Basically we just went over basic course things. What we’ll be doing, what books we’ll be reading, when assessments and assignments are, etc. We then talked a little about extension, and when that’ll be happening, etc. Kind of spent the whole hour not doing any actual work. That’s fine by me!
Ancient history…i must say was boring. Half the class are…well…i wont say it. But hopefully it should be a pretty good subject - maybe half the class will drop out (i hope!?) and we can got on with learning about Egypt and Greece (our subjects this year) and then we also get to do an assessment task on a chosen topic (we get to chose).
Maths was just maths…straight into work. We did a double sided page after getting our text books from Mrs Maxworthy, etc.
So! Looking forward to tomorrow, i suppose…
I thought I’d take this opportunity, late at night on the eve before I go back to school to start year 11, to outline a few goals, first for this blog, then for my travel, and then for myself.
Goals For This Blog:
- Officially “launch” this blog by the end of April 2008. I realise the blog is currently online, and public, but so far I have not been actively advertising it or anything.
- Make enough money through advertisements and other avenues on this blog, to pay for the web hosting and domain name by the year’s end.
Goals For Travel:
- Have a 50% rough plan by the year’s end.
- Have saved atleast $5000 by the year’s end.
- Have saved atleast $20,000 by the end of 2009.
- (Maybe) Purchase a HD Video camera by the end of 2009.
- Chronicle my journey in a documentary style film.
More:
- Finish Year 12 (HSC).
- Get accepted to University of my choice (As yet undecided).
- Have fun!
