Graduation is over

I have several visitors at my home right now. One is also from Brazil. I am audiotaping the event and I'll post updates next week

Written exam done

Written exam in English is done. I have there at least one minor mistake. I hope that I get at least 4(B)

I have a verbal exam tomorrow. Wish me luck for then!

Graduation is on 17 June 2005 on 17:00 Estonian time

Virtual Arlene chase day 2

I am listening WNTM-AM right now. I have bookmarked a near-realtime webcam from Mobile, but I hope that there are some more. I am also starting to look some for WeatherMatrix.net.

I am updating data with Weather Watcher every time. Latest data was, that light northeast winds are blowing in Mobile, AL. So far, I haven't seen anything special during my virtual chase. I can't wait til sun rises in Mobile...

Breaking news: Math exam 4

I just had a phone call from my mother who had a phone call from my class teacher. I do know now my math grade. It is 4(B!)

I guess I failed Math exam

If Estonian language exam brought many good news, then Math exam brings bad news.

I guess I've failed (I call all grades below "4"(B in USA) as failing) the Math exam. It is likely, that the Math grade would be "3"(C in USA). It might not terribly collapse my quarter grade, but still breaks all my hopes to get A-s in all subjects during this schoolyear.

I am still shocked, and a bit earlier ago I even lost an appetite for life and just wanted to die. Now, feeling is gotten better. Because I've been learning for math, I haven't been doing English exercises for a days now. The exercise debt is at least 15 units long. The whole weekend will go to preparing English language exams. And I really have to work all days long as I have so many exercises to do. But I am still shocked, what happened, how I did fail.

Today's exam ruined all work done in last 9 months and I am very sad. I keep you posted with latest exam news

Two days left

It is only two days until the Math exam. I made 8 Math exercises today and continuing to do them later. Meanwhile I've made some self-made exercises.
Here are they:
1. A tornado was sighted in two weather services in Laguja. One weather service, Lepiku Meteorological Agency saw tornado at 50 degrees. Koru Weather Service at 2 kilometers SouthEast(160°) saw it in a direction of 20 degrees. How far was it from both weather services?
2. An eye of the hurricane was moving 400 kilometers during 7 hours. It was moving 4 hours with its usual speed, 3 hours with speed 5 kilometers per hour higher. How fast was the eye moving? How much distance it passed during these two speeds?
3. During June 2005, it is possible that Laguja would get hit by 7 thunderstorms. 3 of them contain tornadoes, 2 of tornadic storms contain also hail. 4 of thunderstorms don't contain tornadoes, but 2 of non-tornadic storms contain hail. What is the chance to get hit by a tornado? What is the chance to get hit by hail with and without a tornado? What is the chance to get hit by a thunderstorm in June?

Well, I am watching a TV a bit and then back to school books!

Edit at 20:25 - Some text fixed

It was terrible day today

After yesterday's good news, I have to write bad news today

I have my Maths consulatation in a big class. We have more than 15 students in that class. I cannot study in a big classes, where are more than 2-3 students. The worst of all, that many guys from that class are problematic children. They have severe problems with behaving. I was shocked as I couldn't ask any help on my exercises. Psychological block came on me and I couldn't do any exercise. I counted minutes til the end of school. I don't know, what should I do today. Everything looks so hard. My free time goes to near-zero. My weather data on the Web has been dark for weeks now, but looks that I should stop collecting data either. Well, I might have now computer time for a hour or two. Other times, I MUST study.

I know, that I am causing too much stress on me, but my hands are tied. I MUST study and that's all!

After the exam

The exam is now over and I am back home. It began at 10:00, I finished it at 11:55. I was the first one in my group who finished it. Few minutes after me, some other students also finished their exams. First I had to read the text and answer the questions. One text was from "Kalevipoeg"(Son of the Kalev - story about one Estonian hero) second one from article at Postimees. Then, I had to write at least 200 words long short composition on topic "What is necessary to be happy." Finally, there were some gaps to fill and for 11:55, my exam was done. Exam ended at 13:00, but I got free earlier.

Today I have to start studying. Do exercises in English, I didn't make yesterday(I had to rest before exams) and also todays exercises. I have also to do homework for Math consultation.

Wish me luck!

First exam TODAY!

Good morning to everybody!

At the time, I'm writing these lines, it is a bit more than two hours before exam in Estonian language. I hope that all goes well. Many people have wished me luck. I hope that I get 5(A) from that exam. In pre-exam on late March, I was in Top 5

My graduation takes place on June 17th at 17:00 Estonian Daylight time (10:00 AM EDT, 14:00 UTC)

Meanwhile the other news. It is only 3 days till we have a visitors from Eschwege, Germany. Better learn some German words(actually I have already some skills in German)

Meanwhile, one my relative Erik Henno(former radio voice in Raadio Elmar) will arrive to Estonia next week with his wife Juliana. It is a small possibility that he can come to my graduation. We'll have a big celebration on June 17th.

Well, better end now! I hope to write today after the exam, how did it go. And I hope, that we won't have any thunderstorms during the exam. EMHI forecasted possibility of them yesterday.

Breaking news: Estonian language exam 5

A few minutes ago, class teacher called my mom. I know my grade in Estonian language. It's FIVE(5 is the best grade in Estonian scale)

My first exam ever was done perfectly! Thank you everybody for wishing me luck.

Next exam is on June 10th and there, I really need some luck as it's a Math exam and there are some very hard topics (like simplifying)

Exams are coming

As the final exams of Basic school are approaching, I haven't got much time to write about my living. Today I found out in school, that I got all 5-s(A-s in USA) during this quarter of the schoolyear. To make it perfect, I need to finish exams

I guess you don't know, when do I have a final exams. Well, I tell you. First one is on next Monday, on June 6th. Then, I'll have Estonian language exam. At June 10th, I'll have Maths exam. At June 15th I have written and on June 16th a verbal version of English language exam.

I started programming new program today in Qbasic. It contains different formulas about geometrical shapes. I've already finished cylinder and trapeze modules.

My relative Erik, who lives in Brazil, started a blog yesterday. Although I discovered it already yesterday, the relative's parents called my mother today and also said about him web diary. This summer, Erik will visit Estonia with his wife Juliana.

This was the little "news bulletin", this was Tarmo Tanilsoo. I wish you good night and maybe I'll write again soon

P.S. Erik and his mother do have a birthday today (June 2nd)...
