Hello!


Hello everyone!
Gosh, it really has been a very very long time since I've posted anything. After a few of you asked, 'Why aren't you posting anything???' I've decided I would do a little entry tonight.
Firstly... here's a loud helllooooo going out to all of you loyal blogders who've been reading the same few entries and happily tagging me on the tagboard. :)
Alright... on with the actual entry.
We had word introduction today and Beatrice introduced 'haemophilia' to us. I knew it had to do with blood because of the 'haemo' bit, but the actual meaning really eluded me, and the class as well. We were all about to give up when Doel sauntered into class from the watercooler and very coolly said, "Oh, haemophilia. I know the meaning of that word."
He proceeded to tell Beatrice the answer and at that point, I think we were all pretty flabbergasted. And it turned out to be the correct answer! The entire class broke into applause for Doel. Heh... that was quite exciting. It was such a close shave; if he'd been at the watercooler a while longer, Group 3 would have gotten 10 points!
Later on, Clemence introduced the word 'ubiquitous'. Thankfully I knew the word this time round. The clue he gave to the class was "Trees are ubiquitous" which makes perfect sense when you know the meaning of the word.
To the rest of you who haven't introduced words to us yet:
Please feel free to stump me! :)
I shall have to do some work now. I'd see everyone tomorrow!

In case you're interested, haemophilia is a condition where the blood cannot clot normally. This means if you get a cut, you would keep bleeding from it.
Ubiquitous simply means being everywhere / can be seen everywhere.
