Weekly News Round-Up #12: 09/12/2012

There were definitely a few events worth mentioning this week, so let's start from the beginning.

On Monday morning, ANT and Master were greeted, in Form time, by the Papadopoulos (basically, when they walked in, they found a folded piece of paper on their desk and decided to see what it was). Now, if you're unsure of what the Papadopoulos is, do not fret because here is the explanation: "The Papadopoulos is a creature that resides in a lake near the White Mountains. It is 12 ft tall and has the eyes of a bug, pincers like a crab, wings and a six-pack of abs. Special powers include extremelegs, meaning it can reach astonishing speeds of up to 40mph. The Papadopoulos preys on humans. If a human is fishing in the lake, the Papadopoulos will swim underneath the water and grab its victim with its pincers." - Extract taken from The Sheet On The Table In Form
I hope that's cleared some of it up for you. After reading this, ANT just said, "It has so much personality!" Oh lol ;p

On Tuesday, ANT and Master noticed that the balloon on the tree has come down! As mentioned in 11/11/12's Round-Up, ANT and Master betted on how long they thought it would stay there for. The results for the bet are being justified and will be available on a separate post as of tomorrow (10/12/2012). Click here for the post :)

During the middle of the week, our assembly was all about the true meaning of Christmas. They had wonderful clips of the Coca-Cola advert and 'Arthur Christmas', but still, everyone walked out not 100% clear on the meaning that they were trying to get at. Oh well, there's always next year ;)

Wednesday also happened to be the day of the Boccia tournament. One must admit that it was a rather fun day :) ANT and Master thoroughly enjoyed showing people where the toilets were, and to top it off for ANT, there was a visually impaired competitor, who ANT enjoyed watching and pointing it out to ArwaChihuahua that she was right about the 'can blind people play Boccia' argument.

Thursday lunchtime saw ArwaChihuahua and Wicks, once again, battling it out for the sake of this eternal hatred between them. ArwaChihuahua made an un-provoked attack on Wicks when she just randomly hit her in the face with Wadz's glove. Meanwhile, Wadz and ANT both attempted to sort this whole thing out, however walked away unsuccessful. Better luck next time ;p

Now, it's that time of year where we must all make very important decisions, such as which courses to take, etc. On Friday, whilst discussing courses, ANT decided to diss her own subject, Art, by saying things like, "You have to do a 3000 word essay, could you imagine doing it on a random painting? What would you even say? Would you write the whole life story of the artist and then go on to say how that influenced him/her in making the decision to paint a certain corner of the painting blue. Then you have to suggest how the colour blue indicates sadness..." Oh dear ANT ;p

One thing that made everyone's week was something that happened on Friday in our German lesson. to find out more about it, you'll have to wait for the quote on Day 22 of the Advent Calendar ;) You won't want to miss it!

When Master was out shopping on Saturday, she saw an awesome solo teaspoon-player! I must admit, it was pretty cool ;p

Sunday sees many members of the Form doing a 'Santa Jog' for a charity currently unknown. Although The Beckster, Ruby, ANT and Master are not taking part, they were willing to donate. Well, in all honesty, ANT was a little reluctant to pay as much as everyone else in the Form and was almost peer-pressured into it by all the other numbers on the sheet. Of course, it's not because ANT is stingy, she just wanted to know where it was all going. Fair do's, ANT, fair do's ;p

Until next week, have a good one :)
