College

OK then:

The physics teacher insisted on spending most of the lesson explaining to me for their very old and knackered video camera works, which meant that I didn't have enough time to even try using tree2 (tree - trebuchet, 2 - because it is the second attempt at making one) NOT EVEN ONCE!!!

I did however have enough time to saw up some bits of metal to go into the weight holder at the counterweight end. No idea what the metal was originally, but it was no match for me and my cheepo hacksaw. We killed that metal rod!!! And then left some nice jagged edges on either end to deter people from steeling it which did not impress the teachers.

Moving on... we had 2 fire alarms today which were quite epic and meant that we missed a good 20 minutes of lesson time!!! YAY!!! especially when one of the lessons was 'Science in society' which is not very fun / interesting. I think they decided to start us off on the most interesting subject - the germ theory of diseases - and then plan to move us to transport issues, and I haven't dared look any further than that into the booklet.
