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…
