So today, 24th June 2009, Wednesday, I had my Year 12 Information Programme in JIS.
Its purpose was to give us a taste of how form 6 life would be like in JIS, and also today, we had a trip of Empire Hotel, as an activity to get everyone up and together. Especially for the new students! It'll go on for two days, where we'll have 5 classes, one period each, and they'll explain to us what we should expect of the subjects, and its syllabus.
Before I went, I was supposed to go with my neighbour's children: Nurul and Adam. Nurul is going to be in the same batch of Year 12 with me! So we talked for a bit as we were going to JIS.
Once there, she helped me around, and well, it was nice. I got to find out what class I'm in and had today. She was only in one of my classes, though she had friends to help us get around. /smile
When I was looking at my subjects and classes on the board, I met two other friends. Lynz, who had been in the same school with me for half a year before she went back, and also Natasha, who was my childhood's close friend. I've met her before, and I did not recognise her, until I saw her name!
They had two other guy friends who came with them all the way from Belait. I think they were in the same school before? Uhm. Their names were Nazmi and Wali. I'd have to say that Wali is nice, while Nazmi was a bit.. anti-social. But at any case, I went with Natasha and Lynz still.
We had to go somewhere for assembly and we were sort of early. When we were there, they gave us this booklet where it tells us what class I'm supposed to go to and all. Natasha is in all my classes, but one. So today we were practically together the whole time. I only have one class together with Lynz, and one with Nurul.
During assembly, they talked about our classes and all. It wasn't long, but I saw how many people there are. I saw Mustaqiimah as well! Apparently, they told us that they put us in random teams which is decided by the booklet you picked out. I was in the 'Swans' team, where I don't know anyone. /sadfaic
We'll be going in teams once we're in Empire, so yeah.
So after assembly, it was core studies, which is English. The ones who I know are in that class, but not Nurul. Mustaqiimah actually took me with her to English, but I... actually forgot about Lynz and Natasha.
We didn't do much since the projector needed assistance. So we weren't doing much. Natasha and Lynz came in late, but they didn't miss much. So my teachers for English were Mr. S. Denby and Mr. N. Smith. Apparently, for core studies, we only have 3 classes for each week. (One class = One Period = 45 Minutes) We'll be having assignments every two weeks, according to one my teachers. It's a one year course, and we'll only be doing two papers, two hours each. But also almost 2 essays per paper. So yeah. My teachers were rather... funny in a way. Which is great! ...then again, I always have a weird humour.
After that, we had Further Maths, where only me and Natasha was there. Apparently, I get to 'meet' one of the new students, Ian, who I'll be having 3 subject classes with. The teacher (Mr. E. Kyle) was interesting, though, I can't.. say he's funny. He tries to be, though. /chuckle
After that, we have Chemistry with Mr. T. Pluck and Mr. C. Kruger. Mr. Kruger was rather nice to me and Natasha as we were new students. Nurul was also in my class. We watched a few videos about chemistry (which is rather interesting), where after that, we made 'slime'. It was funny. My slime's name is Ambuyat. Because.. it looks like one. I was a bit... off.. since it's been a long time since I've handled chemistry... stuff.
Once that was over, we all gathered together to the buses. I was in Bus 3 with everyone else, but Mustaqiimah. I got to meet two people who asked me if I knew Fizah and Faizshah. /laugh
Then we were off!
