Rest in Peace, Eduard Khil

It is with deepest sadness that I report the passing of Eduard Khil, known to us as Trololol Guy.
After a stroke in April, he suffered irreversible brain damage, and lost his life today at the age of 77.

A memorial service will be arranged upon Stu/Wigg's returns from Europe.

Dino & Wiggles go to Europe (episode I)

Hai guize! 

Hope y'all's summer is going splendidly and you've finally let go of the IB stress. I'm having a blast, taking our new friend Dino on his very first outing! For those who weren't aware, Dino is a brontosaurus that we won at the arcade after the french exam; if all goes according to plan, we'll be mailing him around to everyone to go on adventures all across Canada/The Netherlands/wherever else we may to study/work/for shitsn'gigs. 

Here is Dino looking out of our hotel room window in Lyon at the passing TGV

Dino was supposed to be in this shot of Lyon, but I forgot him in the room.

No dino, but here's a bird just chilling on our café table in Geneva. That bird was an asshole - he tried to steal my bread. 

Dino, chilling on a Roman-era pillar beneath Cathedral St. Pierre in Geneva. 

 On somebody's coffin, also below the church. 

Same place, but now on a mosaic floor. 

Showing off his piece, in front of city hall. 

Sitting on a 14th century choir bench in the cathedral. 

Hanging out with his buds, Duck-lizard-dragon-thing and penis-looks-like-his-mouth-man. 

And finally, I have a little something I thought Sarah would like: when we passed by the Cathedral last night (sans dino), the church bells were playing a rather interesting selection of songs including a few Bach pieces, the Star Wars theme, and this:

Our Souls Have Been Released!

 

On Monday, May 28th five of us opened a time capsule from the beginning of IB. Here's a list of what we put in it:

Kara - Part of a feather boa from a fake illegal wedding to Carlos Peterson

Stuart - A Sea Shell from Black Point Beach

BPye - Bubbles

Sarah - Drawing of the things she did over the previous summer

Wigg - Video Game Manuel

I've seen some time capsules inside the little room off the computers in the French pod

from previous graduating classes... We should do an IB time capsule and keep it there. Thoughts?

The Last Day Any of Us Were in IB

Finally we are all done! Here's pictures from the day I've been meaning to put up:

Beautiful Green Hill

Catherine just before she did her speech, POST IT!

After the picnic, (if you don't already know...) some of us went to the mall to hang out and play at the arcade eventually ending up in downtown New Glasgow:

 

DOES IT?!?!?!?!

...the legend lives on...

Tro...ol...olo...ololololololo

it doesn't get any better than this................................................................................or does it?

Bop ya on the nose

After discussing with kara, we have concluded that rat fuck is now my official insult.

Original prankster

...is in the house. Cat'z first post.   Enjoy my darlings

The End - Kara Gets Sappy

Guys ........ We survived IB.

Also, derpedyderpderp is fairly accurate summary of the past two years. Particularly Theory of Knowledge.
What in the FUCK is a knowledge issue?! I STILL DON'T KNOW.

Seriously, though, we made it. What's more, we made it without anyone killing themselves (Sarah), becoming a terrorist (Laura May), or being murdered by the rest of the class for extra points (me).  It's all over, and there's nothing more to worry about... July 6th is over a month away, and besides, even if we failed, it's not like we can do anything about it now! :)

The end of IB is something that I think I can safely say we've ALL been looking forward to since, oh, September 2010?  But now that it's finally here, it's kind of bittersweet. No, I am not going to miss staying up until 7AM to analyse Maya Angelou's works or that oh-shit feeling I got during every mot-du-jour test when I realised I couldn't remember any of the words. But as I'm sitting here in my bed, staring at the empty spot on my floor where my biology/chemistry/math textbooks used to sit, I can't help but feel a little bit nostalgic.

No more cringeworthy and occasionally disturbing videos in chem class.
No more dancing on tables at lunch time.
No more being growled at by Mr. Stewart.
No more life advice in the middle of bio with Ms. Wood (remember, penis size does not matter).
No more pretending we got something out of ToK to appease Mr. Green during presentations.
No more 4AM tweets about how we should be studying.
No more trips to Neptune Theatre with annoying girls who will not put their phones away.
No more dirty looks from academic students who don't understand what they're missing.

No more of Laura May's random giggles disrupting a more or less silent classroom.
No more of Sarah's incessant desire for McDonald's.
No more of Jen's quiet helpfulness (always the first to offer a pen to a classmate in need!)
No more of B. Pye's LIVESTRONG obsession.
No more of Hannah's eagerness to help others in math class.
No more of Kara's wheelz. (By the way, I've decided that page needs to go back up on the blog, for posterity.)
No more of Holly's tendency to always know what's up.
No more of Catherine's strange voices/accents that seem to be contagious.
No more of Bodo's rants about Tim Horton's.
No more of Morgan's ability to maintain her personal style, even when the rest of us say "fuck it, it's time to live in sweatpants."
No more of Stuart's stress over oral presentations (even though he always did a wonderful job).
No more of Wigg's laid-back, not-giving-a-fuck attitude.

No more IB.

Honestly, I am going to miss you guys so much. I know it's unlikely that we'll all stay in touch, but I also know that I will never forget NRHS IB 2012. I wouldn't be who I am right now if it wasn't for the influence of each and every one of you.

Bon chance!

Countdown is over??????

Guys, there's no more countdown. We're actually done. Like, right now. Done. Done high school. Done IB. Done with IA's, IOP's, IOC's and EE's. Hell, most of us are done with Pictou County. Is anyone else finding this utterly surreal?

Chemmychemchem, and also Stewie Griffin.

Why oh why am I not studying, chemistry papers one and two are tomorrow .. GAAAAHHHH.

Last night I was watching Family Guy, and since this particular episode was set mostly in France, I'll say that I was preparing for the French exam. Stewie and Brian arrive in Paris, and Stewie says "I thought Paris would be a bit more picturesque.  It's just traffic and a guy with a jackhammer."
Then the guy with the jackhammer says "oh, no, monsieur, it is pronounced 'jaqueshammer.'"

.. I thought it was kind of hilarious.

ANYWAY, I guess I really should go learn what enthalpy is.
Happy studying, folks.

EXAMS START TODAY

OSPWBDKDDJDHEGEHWO. GUYS WE ARE ALMOST DONE. Good luck everyone, seeee you at the fire hall for Mr. Green's speech in two hours...

It's May.

Nine days for Stuart.
Eighteen days for Morgan and Jenn.
Twenty two days for the rest of us.

WE

CAN

DO

THIS

Eagles Are Turning People Into Horses: The Movie

Filmed on a budget of $11, this is probably the best 15 minute waste of time I've ever found.

No Posts?

Does that mean everyone is actually studying? 

Flashmob Video

Bucket List?

or just for when we have nothing to do after exams.

Take Me To Chicago...

What did this title make you think of? If you answered Ms. Murphy, then you'll be interested to know that the woman herself was in the building today. I repeat, Murph was in the building! Dressed in a pink tunic and black slacks, she was her chipper self and wishes the IB class good luck on their exams and hopes we are doing well.

DELF

If we pass the DELF exam, we get a diploma in the mail around the end of the summer.
Catherine and I were wondering what we would get if we failed, and thought something like this might be nice.
