The Eight Idiots

Day 60

As I am sitting in my room just typing this up after burning out over Task 3 exams, I realise it's only been 60 days into high school! Day 60 is the chapter, isn't it?

I hope it's pretty obvious but its ACTUALLY been over 2000 days. That's how much 5.5 years is in days if you would like to know. There's so much catching up to do. I'm going to just release my brain onto this part (there's no real quality to the writing but rather just poorly-thought of stream of consciousness)

Part 1: The Fruity Slip

For all of us doing Extension 1, there is no doubt we've learnt about Freud. Just mentioning his theories of psychoanalysis will get the FBI on my tail for sure. Freud the fraud. Gross. Poor Hamlet and his name being tarnished by Freud. 

Well, Stephanie's subconsciousness decided it was absolutely necessary to censor the man's name. It's Freud no more, but rather Fruity-Slip is the man's true name.

It was that fateful day in Biology in S6, where obviously we don't do biology work.
Sophie and Emily were discussing Freud in a passionate conversation.

"Oh yeah, Fruity Slip," said Stephanie, chipping into the conversation.

Emily and Sophie stopped to look at her.

"Wait are you kidding?" asked Emily

"Fruity slip?" Sophie repeated. "FRUITY SLIP!"

It was from that moment, that our extension essays were filled with sophisticated psychoanalysis on the famous Fruity Slip. 

Part 2: A flashback to Year 11

We are back in preliminary biology (do you see my insightful use of analepsis?). Our teacher was teaching us about the phospholipid bilayer which is part of a cell or something that I don't remember. They just looked like...male gametes aligned in a sandwich fashion.

Now, our good friend Sophie needed a name-revamp, and Emily and Stephanie decided to take this into their own hands. Sophie had brought this letter-tracing stencil and put it in her pencil case. After mere seconds of intense discussion, Stephanie and Emily had decided what Sophie's new persona was to be.

The pencil stencil was so perfect in engraving history onto Sophie's sketching paper. It was a sight to behold...Nay it was a moment of history

SOPHIE PHOSPHOLIPS S

Or better known as Sophie Lips

Smooch smooch was her catchphrase

Part 3: The Fleshcake

Now before you get your panties in a tangle, let me explain what happened and what I mean by fleshcake. 

Wendy had the amazing idea to create our own masterchef competition. The Eight Idiots were split into two groups, each choosing a mystery ingredient to burden, I mean, bestow upon the other team. 

Wendy chose this amazing fruit, called quince. None of us had every set our eyes upon this strange fruit until Wendy had brought it into our lives. Now Sophie's team had presented Wendy's team with baby food. 

The trick to cooking baby's food and turning it into a delicious concoction is quite simple really. Wendy's team insightfully grabbed the pasta, cooked it to perfection by ensuring the water was nicely seasoned. Now came the secret ingredient. Wendy took a peak into the fridge and came out with the ingredient. She heated up the pan and put the pasta into the baby food. And then, she unleashed a whole stick of butter into the pan. The kitchen smelt so heavenly!

Now on the other hand, Sophie's team were quite puzzled with the quince. How do you cook it? What do you do with it? Does it taste good? It is poisonous? Eventually they settled on their masterplan. A quince-cake. The kitchen was in a flourish! Pans and utensils and food were flying everywhere! Finally, it was time for the two teams to present their food. 

Wendy's team presented the Baby-Food (Its like 95% butter and 5% baby food) Pasta. Everyone had a taste. It was brilliant of course.

Then Sophie's team presented the quince-cake. Are you seeing where the name is coming from now? There were pieces of orange-red wet quince plastered onto the cake. Looks can be deceiving right? A slice was made into the cake and a fantastic discovery was made! The insides were made of raw cake batter! Of course it was integral to taste the delicious cake. It tasted quite ok actually. It was the first time for many of us in trying quince, and definitely it wasn't our first time trying raw cake.

The Masterchef competition was a great success!

Part 4: You just got pranked, my buddy

I'm sure you're wondering why there is that fantastic picture on the top of this chapter. Well, let my indulge you. Let's jump back into year 12, in maths class.

Naturally maths is the worst subject in the world, and Sophie and Emily were mucking about, doodling on each other's books.

"Don't look!" said Emily, as she covered a part of Sophie's book and started to draw.

It took a few minutes, and when it was done, Emily slowly removed her hand and revealed her masterpiece.

Sophie started to laugh uncontrollable and so did Emily.

Because Emily just bamboozled Sophie with the frog's hand. Wait, you didn't see it? Scroll back up and have a look.

HA, I got you too!
