A virtual tour is an online tool used to show places, venues, returants and many other different places using photos, videos or a real person touring you around. The tour may give you information about the place or other essiential knowledge. The virtual tour is really quiet new to the internet, but I think it is a great way to tour places you haven’t been to before and check them out, and even if you didn’t like it you haven’t lost time or money to go to the venue and pay for a real life tour. The online tour is also very convenient in a lot of ways, for example people who live a long way away and don’t have the time to look at all the colleges when picking a school to go to. My favourite tour is the London tour, It is placed on the london eye but you can go to other places by clicking on a little button. Although the online tour is an amazing tool sometimes the venues aren’t updated or partically laggy and slow but it is a great new addition to the internet and it is an amzing way to look at tours online.

College orrientation

Today was Tauranga Girls College orientation day. We left school at 8:45 and caught a bus to TGC, when we got there some of the maori students welcomed us into the hall. The four head students, (head girl, deputy head, sports captain and arts caption) and the year 9 deans were on the stage. The head girl for 2015 said a speech, I was really impressed; great speech. We then got set with four student ambassadors and went to one of the tutor classes. We got to ask them questions about options and what were the good house, sort of questions like that. I found out that drama seems really cool from what the ambassadors said, all the options look really cool and if you pick the wrong ones in year 9 you can change in year 10 if you don't like them. I saw Steffanie from last year, and a few oats people I know. i found out that I can change my options becasue some of the ones I picked seem a bit boring now so i'm relieved about that. I am They then took us for a tour around the school and we then walked back to school.

Life Ed Summary

In life ed, Michael has been teaching us about drugs, how to get out of situations, stories about people on drugs, what happens when you take drugs, puberty, delaying the decision etc. The main message of the year 8 life ed lessons is to delay the decision until you have climbed the ladder of puberty. There are 7 rungs in the ladder of puberty, which means 7 years until you have gone through all the stages of puberty and began the early stages of adulthood. The reason for this is that teenagers are a lot more affected by drugs/alcohol then adults are, as our bodies haven't fully developed yet, we also would not know how to deal with things, and get addicted a lot easier. 

We have been learning a lot about drugs as well. Drugs are very dangerous, they are categorised into classes, Class A, B & C. With A being the most dangerous and C being the least but still extremely dangerous. Michael showed us videos of past drug users and their stories of addiction and what happened. Most of the stories they got addicted to drugs at a young age, 13-14 and started stealing to get more. They were originally good kids but hanging in the wrong crowd and the peer pressure took over. It mucked up their sporting career and their potential. One of the stories about a drug user that Michael told us was a man on P, he was taking his daughter to school and she forgot something. The man got so angry, he killed her and buried her then helped the police look for her when knew he was the one that did it. Drugs stuff up your brain and make you do crazy things you wouldnt normally do when you think its making you feel better but you can't becasue you addicted. Drugs affect different people in different ways, because we all have different bodies and brains. If you didn't already know different drugs can do tremendously affecting things to your brain to make you not your self and make you look 20 years older then you already are, mess up your life, get you into prison. 

Alcohol is legal.

It is very simple, all you have to do is with the first number, which is 4. Draw 4 lines and leave a little space and then draw 2 more lines for the 2.

Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine is a class A drug, which is a very high risk. The drug is white and odorless and dissolves easily in water and alcohol. It is manufactured in "superlabs" most often in mexico. Methamphetamine is taken orally, smoked, snorted or dissolved in alcohol or water and injected. Smoking or inserting the drug into the body delivers the drug very quickly to the brain and produces an immediate intense euphoria, which is an intense excitement and happiness. The most common street names for methamphetamine is meth, crystal meth, ice, speed.
