No, I'm not starting University! I'm only in Year 10!
Hello.
Yesterday and today I went on an excursion to go to the CQU and TAFE to see what its like and to think about our future. It was fun, but none of it helped me with my dream of being an animator/cartoonist. :P
On Monday, we did numerous activities and listened. For lunch we had pizza, and I only got two slices of vegetarian and one slice of cheese! D: So my teacher gave me a banana along with some nuts and cranberries. He's awesome.
We went to the bushland and had to pick 10 different plants, and I think I was allergic to one of them. Then we used microscopes to have a look at them. Actually I don't remember much from yesterday. I know we got free stuff. A bag, a pen, lanyard with nametag, notepad (my teacher stole 2 from unwanted bags), a booklet and a sticker. We just mainly learned stuff like how to get certain careers and backups and how to get the right course and if you are really interested and we played Pictionary. :| Somebody already figured out that I was drawing a Chef, and I only drew a wok! :|
I just remembered at the hospital area we used stethscopes, those finger things that tell about your oxygen and such. Next we had to put on these glassess that prevented us from seeing and it was to show how people suffering have to manage. There were different glasses, and mine had one dot each eye in the middle, so I was alright. Everyone else's was blurry dots everywhere. Also, we did this thing where you out your hand underneath this blue ray of light after putting this wierd stuff on our hands. Then we had to wash our hands thoroughly and if our hands glowed, the germs were stil there.
Today we went to the TAFE and did some stuff, We played with toys and made stuff for Early Childhood. I made a koala unicorn that was supposed to be a giraffe. :| You know those baby toys with the mazes and wooden sphere things and it's sort of like an abacus? yeah, I played with one of those. Those things were my CHILDHOOD. :| At the Manual Arts centre we did this thing where you wear clothes and out your hands in a box and hit some sort of steel or something in the bottom and it melts!
At the Tourism area we learned so much about countries and such. Good questions from us were rewarded with a lollipop! I asked a question that has never been asked before by students apprently, so I got a lollipop.:cool: At the Nursing centre we did the stethoscope and those finger things again, but we also played with a skeleton!
Afterwards we went back to the university and did more listening. And interesting activites! For Lunch was....SAMMICHES! I took all of the vegetarian ones and left some for home. Then one of our supervisors (who is really, really awesome by the way) and the CQU gave us cake! It was very big (at least one slice each for about 60-70 students) It said "(Our school name) Uni Skills 2012". I got one slice and my friend got 3 slices, including the last one. :| I offered some cake and I just wiped off most of the icing and ate it. XD I also got icing and put it on his shirt, for fun. :P After that we did some ADVANCED GOOGLING! *dramatic music with thunderstorms for effect*
:|
But both days were pretty fun! I think I gained weight from the all the food, but it was nice. :) .........I don't want to gain weight!:cry: We all got a bag from TAFE too! It had a booklet, a pamphlet and a notepad! Well, this blog it way too long. Do people still read these? Huh.
Goodnight!
