Home Economics

I am a creative person, I love cooking and adore sewing, so why dont I like Home Economics?
I could speed through the Home Ec module this year it is so easy, but I just can't because it bores me... I have cooked meals for my family before many, many times. I have sewn pyjamas, aprons, clutches and am currently working on a laptop bag. So it's obvious that baking muffins and sewing a cushion cover is really really boring :(
Anyway getting away from that boring streak about meals and cushion covers, to show that I am actually good at Home Ec, here is a picture of the cake that I made for mum's birthday yesterday and then a picture of my hands afterwards:I deliberatley did not put a picture of the kitchen floor afterwards!!!

Term 2... here I come!

On Thursday and Friday we visited my grandparents in their new house in York, so we missed out on the first days of school for Term 2. Instead, today is my first day!

And, I haven't had too much luck this morning....
First, arriving at my classroom a bit late, I had to hurry to get my laptop started for my Health Centra lesson. Then, the computer randomly decided it needed to do a check-up before it started up, there goes a few minutes... Luckily I have finger swipe instead of a password, so logging in was simple. Then the internet wouldn't work, just my luck! A fewmore minutes gone there... Finally, once I had that sorted out, the computer stopped responding. Great! When I finally logged into Centra it was too late... :(


Wait, there's more... after that I decided to fax off some work, but first I needed to photocopy it. Usually all I need to do is put in the sheet and press: Black Copy. But not today, the ink was out, so tried several times and when it just came out white asked Mum to change the ink. She did. Then we had to do a test run, and it still wasn't good, but that would have to do, because I had had it by now. So it was pretty average photocopying. Now all I needed to do was fax it. But yes of course, the fax machine jammed the paper up, and once that was all fixed up, I got the number wrong, then finally, my job that would usually only take the press of a few buttons was done... several hairs torn out along the way!

By the way, it's not Sunday, it's Monday, I'll have to change my settings..
