Some of my friends got WOW classic and are starting to play it, but I don't wanna get it since it's a monthly subscription, and also because I don't even like MMOs. There's way too much to wrap your head around, and it is very overwhelming. I think I need to start reviewing for some of my subjects, but I'm pretty sure I'll be fine for Japanese and philosophy, so I'll study everything but those two. Technically I'm dropping IPT next year so I don't have to study it, but I probably should anyways. paint = bitmap, draw = object. VDU = visual display unit Microphone is fully analogue CDROM = secondary storage ROM RAM DRAM EPROM = primary storage

I got sick. I couldn't go to tkd anyway because dad couldn't drive me, so not much of a problem. We had the GP visit, and it was just the classic drugs and alcohol and mental health stuff. It was better this time because we broke up into groups of 15 and they just answered our questions. Star wars episode 9 trailer and the mandalorian trailer just came out. I guess there are 2 new movies to watch soon.

I have the GP visit thing tomorrow and that means I miss out on Japanese and maths. I really don't want to miss japanese, but I get to miss maths so whatever. We had training on Sunday, and we didn't end up doing too much. We did a bit of boxing, I got taught how to hip throw someone and then we played a bit of basketball. I realized my hand wasn't in a good position for typing, so I placed my wallet under my wrist, which was the perfect height for it, and now I can tap faster on osu.

Set up my bank account, and I'm now trying to set up my PayPal account. The one thing I'm having trouble with now is coming up with good passwords. There's the old tricks like the first address or your favorite instrument and stuff, but the hard part is the small symbols you have to fit in. There's always leet speak though, which is s0m3th!ng l!k3 th!s. Now that everything is set up, I should look to get my resume done and go apply for jobs. I'll have to up my time management and stuff. I climbed from gold 4 to gold 3 by myself and I'm currently in promos with one win towards gold 2. I've just been playing ranked by myself.

A lot of my friends tried playing league yesterday, and they think they'll try to get into league. I mean, all the better if they do stick with it and come to our level, but I feel like that's a lot of hours to pour into this game. One of my friends started to sell small chocolates and skittles, just like the other friend who sells drinks. It's actually really nice, since the school canteen had to remove all sugary things because of the department of education's anti-diabetes thing. Because of that there's really not much to buy from the canteen except for hot food, which is severely overpriced and really bad quality. Started doing revision for the IPT assessment coming up, and the topic is actually quite hard, as the actual course is much more broad and general, so there's a lot to cover.

We're starting to do revision for IPT and SDD. I think I still need some work on the diagrams and the ASCII code for sdd, and still need some work for whole systems and social and ethical problems for IPT. I've been doing the driver's knowledge test, I'm getting most of the common sense ones, but there are some rules and terms that I need to be familiar with. I've been playing games recently and I feel like I've been playing with my brain off. I literally just lose focus when I play games.

Booked for the TFN interview and the driver's license test yesterday, and I went and did the interview today. They didn't actually ask me any questions though, I was really just there to prove that I'm a real person, I think. My driver's license test is next week, so I'm just going to do a bunch of practice tests. Apparently there is a fat book of all the actual rules, but I don't think anyone bothers reading that. After I receive my TFN I'll set up my bank account, so now I can finally pay for stuff online by myself. I might have to set up a paypal account though.

Apparently the teachers had a conference with a lot of teachers around here and around the world, so my sdd and ipt teacher saw Eddie Woo, and saw a teacher from a school in Japan. The teacher from Japan came and visited our school while he was in Australia, and he came in when I had SDD. Apparently the school wants to have some sort of relationship with the school in Japan, and it might be done easily because the principle speaks Japanese. Ran the city2surf, which was 14km. When I ran the actual thing, it didn't really feel like 14km. When it said it had 3km left, I thought it meant I already ran 3km. I didn't actually feel any pain straight after the marathon, but my thighs are in pain if I try to squat or walk right now.

Yesterday my headphone's right side sounded quieter than my left, so I was looking into new headphones today. It boiled down to either the Seinnheiser PC37x or the Hyperx Revolver s. The PC37x is an open back and super comfortable headset, while the Revolver s is a closed back with a toggleable surround sound setting. I think I'm going to go for the PC37x, because of the open back and the fact that a youtube that I frequently watch was sponsored by the company, which gives me a $20 discount if I use his code. My TFN application form arrived, so I'll fill that out and do the necessary stuff and write a resume and everything. I think my headphones are fine right now. I think maybe something screwed up yesterday and a restart fixed it.

Got taught the logic behind bubble sorting and I was able to program it pretty easily. The idea is that the algorithm goes through the numbers and just compares two numbers and just make the bigger number go to the left or right. I fell over at tkd yesterday and my back really hurt from since, but it's alright now. Beforehand, I really had trouble with bending over and everything because it hurt so  much. They nerfed my main on For Honor, so I'm going to have to learn a new champion, which I think I'm just going to fall back onto my old main.

I finished the book for english, and yeah the comic I saw ages ago was a spoiler for the end. It was kind of obvious what was going to happen though, since there was a lot of foreshadowing. I found out a clothing company called Orochi that does For Honor merch, and it looked pretty interesting. Once I get a job and have money to spend, I might buy some of the clothes. The owner of the minecraft server went on holiday for a bit, so he reverted the server to our original world while his gone. This just means that we can't do UHC or parkour or any of the other official game modes.

Got my SDD and english marks back. For SDD I got 86%, with the highest mark for documentation, which was 19/20, which is surprising, since I didn't know what I was doing. For english I got 16/20, which translates to 80%. I think the one thing that lost me marks were that the first text I did wasn't as in depth as the second text. We've been playing more UHC, but this time on the official realms thing, so it's much more well done. It's actually quite fun, so we've been playing a lot of it. There are other game modes and maps as well, so we'll be sure to check those out.

Since all my friends are getting jobs and stuff, I might start working somewhere as well. I'm thinking of the retail place close to my house. It's in walking distance, and I have the time, and also money. For that, I'm going to have to set up a bank account, write up a resume and everything. Digging up stuff I entered into, certificates and stuff with references. Might be a massive bother to do that. A friend of mine got a new phone, and switched from apple to samsung. I might get a samsung phone when I get a new phone, since it works a lot more like a handheld computer rather than it feeling restricted. But I do have like $30 in my apple account, so maybe not.
