The conclusion of the weight of a bag

A conclusion to the story. By Ella Brislen

9.4kg. That is how heavy my bag is. Note how I use the word heavy instead light. Now, if I weigh about 40kg, that means that my bag is more than 20% of my body weight. This is the "incorrect" amount of bag to body weight ratio, and, please, 9.4kg's is too heavy to be carrying around for 6 hours.
                                     
I actually enjoy Mondays. Quite ironic right? Well Mondays are the day that I have the most options and options mean less books. Mondays = Light day

Tuesdays are best described as a ton of bricks. I have a joke among my friends that I am starting a brick factory and every Tuesday I bring in a brick. Although I don't, it seems like I could be! Tuesdays I have the least amount of options meaning Tuedays hit me like a wall of bricks.
Pun intended.

Wednesday's (the day we weighed my bag) is still like Tuesday. My classmates found that I have some stuff that I don't really need eg, sunblock when it is going into winter time and a book that I don't need. I think that maybe I should clear out some stuff.

Thursday's are good because I have a great string of subjects with an equal amount of option and compulsory subjects. My bag is less than Tuesday and Wednesday but a far bit more than Monday. I found that sunblock is the only thing that I can take out of my bag. Everything else I have a use for and a need for.


Friday's SHOULD be great right? 


Wrong. 

Friday's are awful. My teachers seem to enjoy getting me to lug to 2 books for each subject on Friday's. 
I have one option but that needs a book and then the rest of the time I need two books per subject.


 9.4kg for a Year 10 student to carry on her shoulders for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week for 11/10 weeks per term and 4 terms. That excludes having to bring extra items for activities.

It's a bit ridiculous right?

The Summer holidays are coming up for those of you who are not yet out of school. And what better thing to do in your holidays than read comics? Well I guess you could go outside ... and read comics. So here's some basic myths about comics debunked followed by details on how you can get into comics that would interest you. 1. They are hard to read. A common comment I hear from people is that comics are too hard to read, the thing is - they're not really. And that's not because I was brainwashed from a young age to understand them. Comic books are literally books, you just read them like books. Left to right and top to bottom. As soon as you get used to it you forget you're even doing it. Action Comics, art by Andy Kubert, written by Grant Morrison 2. They are not all superheroes. Secret Wars #1 cover by Alex Ross Contrary to popular belief superhero comics don't dominate the medium. Well they do but... they don't. There are tons of superhero co...
