flu and school

It is surprising how fast things change. At math class today, everyone was gloomy about how school was going to drag on, and how we have to make that one case to shut down the school. We then tried to comfort ourselves by stating that maybe it wasn't so bad to be in school after all.

I slept on a desk for more than 3 hours, dreaming thermodynamics, thinking how i was going to do that experiment next week in chemistry. I actually managed to dream up 4 types of calorimeters, two of which I disappointingly found out have been patented because some chemist 300 years ago had struggled to find a better way to measure the energy of chemical reactions.

I woke up at 19:00 to get dinner and the tv said someone from South Island School was on the positive side.
Now I don't know what to do, because I didn't have any plans except for homework for the rest of the term.

Now, how do I hand in my english essay?

Math class today we were talking about swine flu as well. I was saying that we could estimate the probability of the school suspending, and given there was one school suspended yesterday I estimated the chance was 1 in 500 (total number of secondary schools in HK).

I guess we handin our coursework through turnitin. As for the paper copy, I have no idea.

Worse still, I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I suppose we'll be sent work to do.

In TOK we only managed to do 2 presentations because so many people we not here.

In the last few days I don't think most people put a lot of thought onto schoolwork and are hoping for school to end.
