Am I Beeing Unfair.Or Is This Wrong?
6th Period Humanities....who new what surprises awaited me there?
On Tuesday i walked into humanities: bored, tired and past being at the school that day. i could almost hear the home-time bell ringing just 50 more minutes till school would end.
i didn't walk into room 9 expecting to be inspired not even mildly interesting in whatever my teacher had to see.
then i saw we were doing. WW1 history and i was genuinely excited. I wouldn't say world war history is my specialty or that im anything special in that area but it is something i really enjoy learning about an i have a deep respect for.
As i was riding on cloud nine happy with the prospect of enjoying humanities for the first time since the start of year 7 i was abruptly brought back to earth.
My Class,10b.
I realized at that moment that i wasn't going to enjoy this subject because my class had no idea.
half of them wouldn't even be able to point out the countries involved on a map! (bar Aus and the USA maybe)
how did this happen? when did people start not caring out WW history, being so callous?
i can understand and respect that not everyone enjoys history but i believe every Australian should have some appreciation what the men and boys did for our country! i was hurt, no i was angry that my class didn't care and knew hardly anything about past sacrifices!
now maybe this just me but i think people should have respect for this topic!!
perhaps its not their fault...maybe they have never really been taught...
i disagree.how many projects on ANZAC or remembrance day would the average year 10 student have done? answer: a heap!
BUT IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO SINK IN!!
perhaps im being unfair but that is something i really cant stand!
last year we did the holocaust and half my class hadn't even heard of hitler.
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? i repeat.
sorry about my ranting and raving but it just GETS to me...i cant help it!
why doesn't anyone seem to care
argh its just so frustrating
Am I Being Unfair?
i apologize again but this is important to me and i think it should be important to others aswell!
love Bella

My First Review
OK so I'M NOT the New York Times nor Entertainment Weekly nor am I Angus and Roberson but I AM and avid lover of books and i know what i like and which book i thought was super interesting and which others bored me to tears.
I recently read a book i really enjoyed - The Time Travelers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger and i really enjoyed it.
It was an amazingly interesting plot, full of mystery,fierce emotions and and many little intricacies.
The story revolves around Clare and Henry. now these guys meet when Clare is 6 and Henry is 36 but meet again when Clare is 20 and Henry is 28 and get married when Clare is 22 and Henry is 30....not possible you say? well it is because Henry is a time traveler(not the whole time travel machine like in back to the future)he has a rare genetic disease that drags him at random moments into random places in the future or past.
I personally love romance and am not afraid to say i probably am a hopeless romantic but this book was something else entirely! it wasn't you usual boy meets girl, or vice versa, they fall in love then something separates them then they realize they need each other.
it kept up all the amazing passion of a great romance but it wasn't overwhelming gooey or lovey dovey.That's what i loved, they loved each other in completely believable way, a way which you could almost think "hey that could be except for the time travel" but that realness didn't diminish or make their love seems less strong and true.
i think it's best attribute is that its just so ORIGINAL!
i definenitly recommend it
Rating- i think a 3 and a 1/2
hope you give it a read
Love Bella

Such Is Life
SUCH IS LIFE- words of wisdom,we cant always have complete control of our life.
Where is this leading you may ask?
OK,so i went to a funeral about a week and a half ago.The man whose funeral it was was a close family friend.he was a really nice person and was too young to die- a tragic accident.
at said funeral one of his relatives spoke.it started of as usual, loving memories, kind words and tears but then she said something to make me think, stop, take a look at me , my life and those around me.
her words of wisdom where these (as close i can remember anyway):
"by the end of the day i want everyone to hug a loved one and tell them you love them.
shake hands to a stranger."
(and one other which unfortunately i cant remember)
then she said something so powerful: (again as close as i can recall)
"life is short and so i want everyone to forgive all those people that they are unhappy with,forget your petty arguments and grievances, because ,after all, what is the point of it?"
and i so i thought about what she said.
i thought of all the people i was annoyed with over trivial things,so MANY people
and why what is the point who cares a bout a DVD or a seat in class IT DOESNT MATTER!
so now i am going to impart some words of wisdom of my own(maybe not so wise i'll let you judge for yourself):
please read and take in what i am about to write and what this lady at the funeral said.
I have friends who are fighting with other friends at the moment over something i personally do not think is more important than the friendship they have.i want to them to think what would they would do if they lost that person without ever having made up.it would be awful.
so please who ever reads this blog:
1.give a hug to a loved one and tell them you love them
2.meet someone new, help a stranger, or get to know someone you dont know well a little better
3.send a message, talk or call someone you havent seen in a while
and finally (heres the biggie)
4.forgive someone you love(or possibly someone you dont love)for something trivial unimportant becuase yo might lose them
once you have completed these i guarantee you will feel better

The First Chapter
I first decided to make a blog today during first period science. My friend Alice had confided that she had began to document her life online, by blogging.It sounded like a great idea! To be able to capture both our lives in words.....
So my name is Isabella Eyre, but all my friends call me Bella. I go to a little school in Southwest Victoria and live in a little town where the most interesting thing has happened in a long time is when lightening struck the tree that had the Tarzan rope tied to it at our local watering hole and knocked it over so we couldn't use it anymore.
I have AMAZING friends: Alice Eamon(my motivation and inspiration for my blog), Millie Howlett, Casey McKinnon and Lee Kruger. These guys are my closest mates, Millie has been with me since Kinda and Anna, Casey and Lee have been with me since year 7, the start of High School.
I don't have a boyfriend at the moment, although Ally,Casey and Millie all do, i wouldn't say there was a huge choice of guys in country Victoria...
We are a mixed bunch of people,with huge personalities, all with one thing in common-being the best of mates.We have all been through so much together.
My Mum is Val and my Dad is Lance, i have two brothers Lucas and Chris and two dogs Jazzie and Cobee.
Horseriding is my hobbie and passion and i have two horses Prince and Lilly.
I enjoy school and love my french class with Ms Cecil, Careers with Mr Cyprus, and English with Ms Bennet and I am currently in Year 10.
Not much happens in the little inconsequential that i call home and this is my life so far.
The rest? we all shall see, wait and see what happens...
