That last day of the week always seems the longest, especially today, since our field trip will go on till after school. Actually i didn't get home until about 4:30. That sort of sucks, but it was worth it considering the awesome play we watched. As you can see this is my super blog! I took a lot of pictures, which didn't really have anything to do with the play, but the journey to get to the bard on the beach. Before i start blabbing on about the play i still had two classes before the field trip so I'll talk about them first. Actually, i pretty much only had one class since our grade 9 assembly was first block, i got to miss math! Not that I'm happy about that...Maybe a little relieved that i didn't have math homework though. The assembly was predictable, basically a copy of last years, except Mr. Latimer was Micheal Jackson this time. And Mr. Davis kept going on about how much more is expected of us and our responsibilities. I think most of us know how hard grade 9 will be, teachers will start treating us differently because we're not new to the school anymore and what-not stuff like that. I found that part sort of repetitive because how many times are you going to say "The older you get the more responsibilities you'll have". Saying it once is fine, but trying to make us remember that by going on and on about it is tiring. Another thing i noticed is that they always remind you of how many years you have left. I really wouldn't like to know that! Anyways, in french we worked on our first presentations/skits in front of the class. So far my partner and I are on a good start, we have all of next week to finish so i think it'll be fine. I'm not going to go too much into that since i noticed i wrote too much about the assembly anyway. Now i can get into the interesting stuff! So the play was "All's well that ends well". It was about this physicians daughter who was in love with the son of a countess. She wanted to marry him and the countess agreed with the marriage. But the son, Bertram, went to tend to the king who was sick. So the physicians daughter, Helena, went to cure the king as an excuse to marry Bertram. She cured to king, but Bertram didn't want to marry her! He said she was too poor. So he runs off to Italy to fight in a war, and tries to woo this other girl. But Helena- being as cunning as she is- followed him and made plan to get him back. That's basically what happened. I loved the acting of the King! He sounded like a king, you know? I guess it's because he's probably had a lot more experience in acting, since he's older. I though Helena was alright, i think she was overacting just a bit. But that's my opinion of course. And there was this one guy, the countesses assistant or something, he was so funny. When he acted happy he pranced around the stage, it was delightful to watch. I think i've made this blog long enough. After the play i went home of course and basically rested and did some homework.
