Creative Talents.

A couple of years ago when I was in year 10, so.... 2 years ago in my old high school we have a thing called Activities Week where you do one activity for a whole week. Well you do it for 3 days, but I guess they can't call it 3 day Activity or maybe they can, anyway back to the point. They have activities from going Camping over night, touring the city, and things based in school like fashion and the one I did, Animation.

I did these short Animation videos using a Digital Blue Camera taking photos and putting them all together. Doing this takes a lot of patience as the one animation took 2 hours to make. During the "Week" I created 6 animations with my friends and for your pleasure I have uploaded them to this blog post for your viewing pleasure.

Encounter with a Robot.

This was our first idea and I know its a bit shabby but

give me a break.

Discovery Blobs

It's what it says, they are blobs of plasticine and they discover

objects, I think this was the best out of all the animations.

Blobs in Trouble

This is another one of a series of three animations based around

the blobs, shorter than the one above but still good. There is a little

dialogue in there but you need to really listern.

Crime Doesn't Pay

This animation we were kinda forced into doing as our teacher wanted

to see what a paper animations looks like. Not getting our hopes up,

it come out pretty good.

3 Blobs in a Car

This is the final animation about the blobs and also the final one we

did in the week. This is just a quite idea which we came up with.

Again listern out for the dialogue in it.

What I've Missed.

Throughout the time I have had off school since finishing my GCSE Exams and now waiting for them, I have had a lot of time to think and some of this thinking has come to good use, some has come to bad and some has really actually made me ill giving me panic attracts (seriously). But one thing I have realised is when I have been doing things I don't normally do.
I watched HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 (note that the font is smaller because of my shame)

Watching High School Musical 3 it was like putting myself in their shoes as technically in the film they were going through the same thing as me, leaving school and deciding what to do next in the future. The thing I found out watching it is that even through it is a film and half the things in it would never happen in real life they were making the most of there last days of high school and the conclusion I came to is that my last days of St Teilos were CRAP.

I instantly thought that leaving school would be great to get away from all the bullies in my school. But the one thing I forgot was to be happy and sad about the very good friends I was leaving even the people who weren't really my best friends I was going to miss. Today I saw two of my friends, and even through it has only been a couple of weeks ago I had only seen them it really seemed like a really long time. Talking to them, they had done so much since leaving school, working getting paid £200 a week.

Since thinking like this during the final weeks of school and getting work done last minute and missing out on quality time with my friends (even through half of them thought they would have a couple of extra weeks off not coming in), I missed the last time I would be with friends. But coming to think about it even if I was to spent time with my friends during the last weeks I would feel most likely the same as I do now. I think meeting friends outside school now which I would not see now will feel really weird.

One thing I think I need to do is get in contact with people I would not normally get in contact with just to see them a final time. If I do, do that I would need t think of a place in Cardiff to go and I don't think my other friends would like the Museum as my best friends as it is the only place to go which is free.

Offically left, Good Bye and Hello.

Friday the 19th of June I had my last GCSE Exam (physics) but I did think of me leaving High School until the Prom which was on Wednes day the 24th. All dressed up in a Tuxedon (couldn't breath in it) and the prom being held at the Hilton Hotel. And after a night at the Hilton eating a stupidly over presented food which was lovely, having a few dances, judging people by there dresses and suits and also seeing teachers getting drunk, I now pronounce mysel offically left school.

In result, I don't need to put up with;
Siting through a boring lesson of English
Having attend 5 lessons a day
Put up with putting on a happy face to the teachers pretending I like them but not.
No need to wear uniform
and a lot more things.

Althrough there is always somethings you will miss when you leave somewhere.
I will miss seeing some of my other friends in younger years, also the occassional subject of Art and Miss Anderson and the funny times we had. Also leaving school togo over my friends house to play some games during lunch time but also the community of friends I had.

There are always down sides to things but there is I really hope good things to come going to St Davids College with a few friends but also meet new people and experience ne things there.

See you later St Teilos
Watch out St Daivds here I come.

Previous Blog.

My previous blog post says about a Bus advertisement or 'Folly Farm' and to me how they made the mistake of incorrectly constructing a sentence.

'Come and see Wales' only Giraffes at Folly Farm' and I said that it is not a misprint by me, I am still right on that term by wrong on the terms of reading and understanding the sentence.

The comment on the blog 'Not something I do much' which my friend posted corrected me in my path of misunderstandment.

"It's meant to be Wales'"

if it was Wale's it looks stupid (and is wrong)

They are the only giraffes in Wales, so 'Wales' only Giraffes'

I thought they taught you English. Have you forgotten everything after a week?"

So in result, I admit that I am stupid (I admitted that ages ago), that St Teilos is a rubbish school as well as my English Teacher can't tech English to me, English is the Most complicated language ever. The last thing is that they should have constructed the sentence a way that everyone would understand.

"Come and see the only Giraffes in Wales at Folly Farm." simple.

Why we go by Welsh TIme.

I found out a while back what WELSH TIME was and why nothing starts on time (apart from school) and this is because I am and people I know are Welsh or have become Welsh from moving to Wales. But I only recently worked out why we have Welsh time and this is because Stupid Bus Services never arrive on time at a Bus stop (and people have no sense of time, but this is not the point)

As I have got a free Bus Pass now I have been using the bus for anywhere I go. Going to school and coming home from school, the down side of catching a bus to school is that you need to wake up and get out of the house earlier than you did before catching a Bus, annoying. Also getting a Bus to town and well anywhere. Form catching the Bus I have realised why us Welsh have such thing called Welsh time

But also realised why so many people:

• Have bad days right from the begin to the end of the day because they have missed s a meeting or something important because a Bus is late.
  
• Why some people have such good memories; as they practise remembering what times the Bus comes at their regular stop and also which Buses to catch. 
  
• Why regular people who catch a Bus have such good balance when on buses and in any uncomfortable situation.
  
• And why people have no money, one because of the Credit Crunch and also for catching a Bus every day if they don't have a bus pass and a car or don't need it.
  

There is knowledge every where around us and things to learn, and when you do learn these things record them in a Blog, something you can look forward to doing on the odd occasion (and a substitute to doing something which has to done and you don't want to be doing i.e. House work, work in general or homework for me). 

Many meaings for one thing and differnet things and many more meanings .

In school I thought of something which is very rare of me in school. After school I do archery (trying to become the next robin hood ) and at the end this French exchange teacher coming in for a short time I was talking to asked me a question.

Now most languages are easy to learn for some people and they say if you speak another language and then trying learn to speak English is the hardest Language. I didn't think was true until today.The French Exchange teacher asked me after talking about who translations come out different "Why do we call our meal in the after noon tea when we drink tea and why do we have so many words for time of day where we eat, Meal, Dinner, Lunch, Tea." One of many many questions I cannot answer.

Then she also said "You get confused when people say I am going home to have tea now, do they mean a cup of tea or eating their tea." It was a very good question and one which has never occurred. It seems to me like one of those questions what has no answer, like 'What is the meaning of life.' My answer, stare them blind in the face.

Conclusion: The English language can be very baffling at sometimes. All you have to do is just talk and not think of things like this, but also think at what you are going to say to a person first (Be careful, Serious). If you do have the answer post a comment.

Fair Trade Stall

All last week during break times in my school I have been putting on a Fair Trade stall with a little help. To be FAIR it has been a smashing success selling chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate bars, biscuits and sweets.

But I have realised over the last week how easy it is to spend a whole £5 on sweets. Buying a bag of sweets and about 10 Fair Breaks for 25p which now results in them being a addiction for me. When you have one, you have to have 5 more

News just coming in that as it is Fair Trade FORTNIGHT, so why should we not do it for another week, which means that I best scrape up some money for some more Fair Breaks for now 20p YEAH, saving 5p.

The Count Down Begun

Enjoying the relaxation of doing nothing in the half term holidays and forget to do Coursework (big mistake) I was faced with the reality that I have only 9 school weeks left until exams and finishing high school, 27 lessons left of each subject. It is a big eye opener as Course Work has to be done and revision every night and that my next steps are dependent on my results in my GCSE's (also doesn't help that teachers keep on telling you this ANNOYING)

But whatever I do I will have something to do after school. But not suprising there is a whole load of other things to do around my school stuff and what people always says that there is not enough hours in the day is so true. Some advice from well known experiences;

1. Do not leave things till last minute
2. Always have a backup plan if anything goes wrong (i.e. an Excuss)
3. Plan ahead before tackeling something.

You have most likley heard these things before but in all truth take them on board.
