Today was, surprisingly, pretty fun.
Started with Philo, and I had fun asking Mr Funelas inane questions such as "But isn't there an unqualified generalisation in a hasty generalisation?" and having Yvonne rebut me. In the end Xinyuan clarified by saying that if the premise for the hasty generalisation is taken away, it becomes an unqualified generalisation.
Therefore:
"Sharks eat laksa with hum." --> Unqualified Generalisation
"I saw a shark eat laksa with hum the other day at the hawker centre. Therefore I can conclude that
all sharks eat laksa with hum." --> Hasty Generalisation
Excellent. I am so glad I'm not in PEP. I can just imagine the look on Mr Funelas' face if I told him that.
Next was Bio. We had this experiment where we were supposed to test the effects of osmosis by putting shelless, previously-treated-with-vinegar eggs in either corn syrup or water. The eggs resembled tiny water balloons with yolks inside.
All the eggs looked alike, so to differentiate them while weighing, LeeVoon and I named our eggs. The egg which went into the water was called Brown-Dot, the corn syrup egg was nicknamed Long-Body and the control egg was named... Normal.
After the experiment (when it was duly proved, to nobody's surprise, that the corn syrup egg weighed less after the experiment and the water egg weighed more), Xinyuan had a flash of inspiration after seeing Yvonne accidentally burst her egg all over herself. She decided to squeeze an egg over the dustbin at my bench, and the egg duly exploded...
and the contents went onto my TOFU. (The soft cuddly type from Action City, not a real tofu.) Lolol.
Physics was mind-numbingly boring. I stoned through the whole thing. Yawnnnn.
I ate last night's leftovers for recess. :D MY DINNER LEFTOVERS STILL PWN SCHOOL FOOD HAH.
Math next! Very fun, only because my Denise, LeeVoon and I weren't even bothering to pay attention. Math quizzes 1 and 2 were okayish. Careless mistakes sheesh. I didn't get what the teacher was saying the whole lesson, but I've given up trying. Shall just ask my uncle during reunion dinner on Monday, since we're not having tuition on Sunday because I'm seeing him on Monday anyway.
RS block was spent slacking off in the control room. Xinyuan and I had a strength contest, followed by my valiant attempt to knock Xinyuan off her chair. (I couldn't. Fine. Whateverrr)
Erm.
Then I borrowed Order of the Phoenix from the library and went home. Yay.
My life is so interesting, isn't it?
