Day 45

Hey everybody! Today is Tuesday 25th, and from today I have around 9 days left in Australia which is kind of sad. Anyway, I must admit I am pretty homesick...I miss my family, my friends, my boyfriend, my bedroom...Luckily I brought Dulce de Leche with me because otherwise I'd be starting to eat Vegemite! (Vegemite is a dark brown Australian food paste made from 
leftover brewers' yeast extract with various vegetable and spice 
additives ) I have a theory about Vegemite, which is that only Australians like it, and I am pretty sure than less than 5% of people of other parts of the world do too. 




Back to my morning, today I had music, physics, english, CLD and modern history. On the last period we had a Whole School Assembly. Its theme was about what yourself. Mr. Peter Crawley, the Head of School, gave a speech about rumors, expressing that you have to chose who to believe and who not to. Also you have to learn to listen to others, but mainly to yourself. It is very important to be conscious about what one thinks about himself. He showed two clips while giving his speech(both posted above in the order mentioned).  The first one was about people being pranked about an elevator working as a time machine. The second one was one we saw at school about how one sees themselves and how others see you. It was an ad by Dove 
He concluded with the reflection that we don't want to be fooled like the ones in the video about rumours, but you also need to be aware of what your own opinion about yourself is. It was a very nice speech and it was followed by the prize giving of the Swimming Carnival, with all sorts of cups. 
Montana had Physics tutorials, so I waited for her until 5 pm and then we went back home. We had wraps for dinner and after that everybody headed off to do their homework. Instead I read and blogged haha. 
Before I leave, in case you haven't noticed, I added a gadget that you will find in the right hand side of the blog with the days, hours, minutes and seconds I have left here. 
Talk to you later!
