On Friday, February 17 th, our Grade 7 & 8 classes had the opportunity to travel to the RBC Youth BIOLab at the St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre. We had the opportunity to look at our own cells under a microscope and dissect an eye to take a look at the lens inside and the amazing structure it is. Below are some pictures from our visit. Here s looking at you!!!

Grade 9 Rants, Jokes and Trivia I hate when you can t yell and call your parents names, but your parents can, omg, really, they say mean names and they say a bad word, really, but if you did yell at them and call them names, you ll get it. Sometimes I don t get, like what if you re mad at them and you really mad, but you can t, *sigh* That s what gets me mad. Why do we have to come to school? It s not like I want to see the same people every day, like, honestly, why can t there be 3 groups of different teachers and students that come in at every new term? So u don t have to see the same people for a whole year, but I would like to stay with my friends that I like, though. You know what gets on my nerves is when people tell me to do things right when I sit down it s like if u have the patience to wait for me to sit down then just do it yourself, like, one, if you re standing right beside an item you should put it away yourself, two, you make it seem like it s going to get up and walk away or get lost, three just let me do it later because unless you move the item it s not going anywhere, so just get off my case for once, just let me be! St. Patrick s Day Trivia St. Patrick wasn t Irish he was most likely born in Wales St. Patrick was a slave at 16. Blue, not green, was historically the colour associated with Ireland I hate that when teachers make you write a story or a rant. Like when they tell me to write a rant I sit there all class trying to think of what I can rant about and wait for a rant to come into my brain. I sit there watching everyone writing their own rant and I can t think of anything. Then by the time they tell us they are moving on to something else I think of something so awesome that I would get such a good mark on and the teachers won t let me write it down. So then I have to wait til the next time we have that class which I probably won t remember what I was going to rant about so then I sit there a redo this whole thing again.
