It is sooo crazy how fast the holidays have gone by. It seems like yesterday that I was on the absolutely awesome BA weekend trip in Cape Town, and now suddenly I am getting ready for another year at school! I think everyone should have a more positive outlook on school – think about it: you get to see all your friends again and the new year is the perfect time to start fresh and pick up your marks! With just a few days left until back to school, I am going to try and do as many fun things as possible. For example, I went paintballing with my sister and cousins this holiday and I got hit so many times -  I have all of these faint circular bruises! It was so much fun, though. I did this little calculation to check out how fast that little paintball moved through the air:

Velocity =        difference in distance

                        Difference in time

V            =       10 m

                        0,08 s

               =       125m/s!

If the paintball was going so fast – no wonder it was so painful! Ha Ha!

Good luck for the new school year :-) ! Cheers
