goodbye money

Got my calculus and genetics test out of the way and now I'm FREEEEEEEEEEE!!! Tech free section for calculus was an epic fail, but I think I did good in the tech active for once :O Genetics was a bludge, so all is good :)

Finished my calendar for Viscom!!! Click image for deviantART version/fullsize:

 

 

(I think I forgot to save after I added "Spring" to the last one haha...and the leaves for Autumn were annoying to draw x__x)

After school, went shopping for Amanda's present and something new to wear on Sunday (the latter failed). ALSO BOUGHT WICKED TICKETS FOR SUNDAY ARVO AFTER EXAMS WOOOOOHOOOO, front row of A reserve! Only problem is, ALL that money I've earned from accompaniment is GONE O__O Had to pay mum back $230 for the tickets, $25 for Amanda's pressie (I kinda just gave away the price of your gift but you knew what it was anyway...is your ipod a 2G? If not, I have the reciept ahaha...) and $20 from Steph's present aaaages ago. BUT THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR CHIPPING IN MARK, I THINK I'D ACTUALLY BE BROKE WITHOUT YOU!! Min said she's also gonna chip some in as well since the ticket was like $112, and Erika's paying some of Amanda's pressie too (DON'T WORRY PANDA YOUR PRESENT IS MORE THAN JUST AN IPOD COVER!!)

In short, I have $70 left :P But I should be getting $80 tomorrow from the last 2 accompaniment....and after 6 more weeks, I think I'll have enough for either a guitar or an iPod touch! STILL INDECISIVE!

REALLY looking forward to the long weekend, only art/viscomm folios to finish which is fun anyway...can't wait til Amanda's b'day especially and hoping to get out of the house Monday as well! I wanna go to the park, but it's effing thunderstorming til Tuesday, and I need to let my brain regenerate on Tuesday

HAPPY.

name fail

So in assembly today, they were presenting certificates for some Jap comp aaaages ago...and they called out my name (along with Erika's of course) in the perfect scorers section.

Which shocked me, coz I already knew I got the first question wrong (apparently I can't distinguish the difference between a pig and a goose in japanese or whatever it was...)

Turns out they mixed my name up with Steph's, which was too funny...when I left the stage, I heard people "aww"ing at me...ahahah rejected :P but I had to go back up to the stage to get my actual award anyway, in which the principal said to me "Congratulations on last night"

Last night? What did I do last night O.O

HOUSE ARTS O.O IM NOT IN EFFING YEAR 9

Anyyyway, Viv also injured her ankle in PE................playing ultimate frisbee. What an awesome story to tell :)

Finished my calendar in Viscom, only have the cover to finish and I'm DONE

Tonight - study for methods/calculus and sciencebio...ahh.

xo

house arts

AKEY WAS ROBBED MAN....ROBBED!!

Well okay, the winning house was incredible with their storyline, dancing etc etc but it's just a tad GRR that 2nd place lost by 1 point...WHEN THEY LOST LAST YEAR BY 1 POINT!! aaahhh and I'm not even in either of those houses

My house came last again :)

But thats beside the point...everyone was amazing so WELL DONE :D

LEAH I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CAME!! GAAAH, I saw your mum sitting upstairs with us haha

and I'm really tired right now so I can't be stuffed blogging but I'm sorry again Mark ahahahaha

xo

(Amanda - hope you're okay)

eight years

We still have a candle burning for you every year; I miss you and the all the memories...of your deep armpits :)

UNIT 2 OVER :D All went well for everyone, woohoo! I am SO not practicing piano tonight hahaa...but either way, I need to catch up on other work now :(

Finished my insane melting pineapple in art today, worked right through lunchtime AND I LEFT MY LUNCHBOX (AND BANANA) IN THE ARTROOM D:!!! Must remember to get it back gaahh

We finished Strictly Ballroom (again) during English, so basically another period of bludge

More calendar work in Viscomm, almost finished my entire thing! Three periods to go, and I have to finish Autumn and the front cover, so I think I'll be okay

Folio work however...

xo

motivation for procrastination

So here I am, failing to finish the music analysis because it's so damn boring...well no, it's just REALLY time consuming and I'm far too lazy to scan my music so I'm just taking photos and editing them brighter hahaa

Today was an alright day I suppose, the weather was really strange :( I didn't bring my jumper or anything and it suddenly started POURING and I got really cold so I borrowed Erika's...then it was warm again all of a sudden and AHHH it was just horrible

Making progress on my melting pineapple pot, but I have a feeling I won't finish it in time, it'll look really obese and it'll explode in the kiln...aahh damn you air bubbles and dry clay...

Am currently stressing for unit 2 music exam...not for MY exam but for Erika's DAMN ACCOMPANIMENT OH MY FRICK ITS INSANE. She has some lovely long quavers and I'm going nuts at staccato semi-quavers at some crazy speed aaaahhhhhhhh

We'll see how we go tomorrow...thank jebus it's not assessed for my ensemble work this time round LOL fail.

xo

ACCOMPANIMENT FAIL :(

OMG ERIKA'S PIECE IS SO BLOODY HARD D: D: D:

The fast bits are faster than I thought...my fingers faillllllll!! And with 2 days til her unit 2, BLAAAAAAAARRGHH. Thank god it's not MY unit 2 or I'd be screwed hahaha

Well anyway, this morning I got up at 6am on a SUNDAY!! and went to the market from 7-9 with Steph. Hayfever was really bad and all the 2nd hand clothing didn't help either. I didn't pick up any clothes, just a ring for $6 :) 

sorry ahahah epic detail thanks to the macro thing...

Yeah so then I went home and slept til 11...haha, woke up again and at lunch, practiced piano and went to Erika's...rehearsed for a bit, walked around to her park WITH A POND AND DUCKS, walked around the nearby junction of some kind and then went to Safeway to absorb the aircon :) It was cloudy but SO HOT today grrrr...and then I got hungry so we bought some hot chips YUM YUM YUM, got a free sample drink from Starbucks and went hoooome and SHOWERED ZOMG

xo

winding down/melting down

IT'S SO HOT AHH

Doesn't help that I'm in the living room...ahhh I'm evaporating, I swear

Had to do my final accompaniment for Johnson this morning, poor kid was so nervous for the exam...but in denial of course :) He kept asking me questions about exams through our warm-up, coz this is his first exam or something. At the end of the warm up I was secretly really worried because he was playing pretty badly in comparison to our rehearsals =/ While waiting for the exam, we witnessed a man blow his nose REALLY REALLY LOUDLY AHAHHAA but at least it made him laugh...he was freaked out coz whoever was before him was playing the same piece as him and playing it REALLY well. 

The exam went good though, I think warm-up relaxed him :) except, the examiner cut-off the best bit of the last piece :( Hope he does well!! 

After collecting my pay ($____$ *drool*) we stopped by the cool shop on the way home to find something for Amanda, but I got really indecisive...AMANDA, WHAT DO YOU WANT?! COZ I FOUND SOMETHING REALLY AWESOME BUT IT DOESNT LOOK THE AMOUNT IT'S WORTH SO I DIDNT BUY IT COZ YOU'D THINK I'M CHEAP ESPECIALLY COZ I'M SPLITTING IT WITH LISA...I don't wanna get you like...generic jewellery or something...cmon....16 :')

And since I wanna get up really early tomorrow to go to the market, I'm trying to finish random strands of homework...tie up stupid loose ends like methods homework that I *finished* this week, the English essay that I *finished* last week and the music analysis that I *finished* 3 weeks ago...........heh. So hopefully I'll pick up some cheap clothes at the market coz I hear it's awesome :) Maybe something for Panda as well!! I mean I mean I mean みかん :D

xo

house swimming

Found out I'm not actually in no events - I was an emergency for 50m free...so yeah, pretty much in no events (played on psp and ds all day...shh). I think everyone in yr 10 in our house turned up, 4 people turned up in Jamie (Amanda and Leah had to fill in for lots, which was so unfair...especially coz Erika was there and in 2 events yet still bailed?) and 6 in Akey turned up...epic fail haha YET AKEY WON, AND WE CAME LAST O___O HOW DOES THAT WORK?! WE'VE WON HOUSE SWIMMING LIKE 2 YEARS IN A ROW :( Wilky 2nd, and Jamie 3rd...I'm not a sore loser, I swear :) haha, we'll see how it goes down for house arts next week *glares*

I submitted my kwong lee dow stuff last night, it was really nerve-wracking to click that submit button...my mind kept thinking I made spelling/grammar errors all over the place but hey what can you do :P I hope they won't be that careful in reading like 3000 applications anyway haha...ACTUALLY NO I hope they're careful, so at least I'll seem smart 0:)

Almost finished another season for my calendar in Viscom, the stupid automatic updates made me lose it all halfway :( At least it was just some grass...hahaha

SO glad it's Friday, looking forward to this weekend :) I gotta do accompaniment for one of the violin exams tomorrow morning and I hope I get to see Steph while I'm there COZ SHE'S DOING HER AMUS CELLO *good luck vibes*!! Then teaching again at night, so I can't go to whatever fair with Emma and Stuart :( Hoping to go to a morning market or something on Sunday as well, then rehearsal with Erika for her unit 2 :) And somehow fit some homework in there haha...

xo

OHAY KIM :D

HI HAHA, you're damn dedicated to wander around to find my blog :) no music tomorrow, we have house swimming! But I think our next music class is our unit 2 exam D: next one after thaaat is wednesday after lunch but...shouldn't you be studying?! haha

I woke up this morning and fell asleep straightaway...except I did that thing where I dreamt that I had gotten dressed, eaten breakfast etc, so I thought I was awake. But when I actually woke up for the second time, it felt like I had to go through my routine all over again =__= not cool.

Played softball in PE today, first time in AGES. The student teacher took us and it was really fun :) Except I was totally jealous of the other classes that went off to the park to play soccer/footy/walk around :( Plus, I got smacked in the hand with Julia's hard throws coz I caught it with my non-gloved hand haha faaiiil :P

Finished another season of my calendar, 2 more to go! Plus the cover :D 

Man, next Friday's gonna be pretty packed O.O Methods topic test + Bio test + calendar due + ceramics due as well...and the night before I think I'm going to the String Soiree, and the night before THAT is house arts and there's no way in hell I'm gonna miss house arts!!!!!!! 

So I'm currently procrastinating from a bit of homework...Heroes is on tonight :D woohoo

xo

feels like saturday?

Had our "all day" rehearsal for speech night today, which is basically awesome coz we're not at school :)

It was extremely pointless for everyone who was only in the mass singing, because at least I was there for award rehearsal, in which we decided to exit the stage in a synchronised fashion - turn, smile, bodyroll and march off right foot first...which was obviously destined to fail :D Then a run through of mass singing plus an orchestra run-through as well. Everyone else (except Erika) ALL ditched us =__= So when we were done, we had to figure out the buses and stuff ourself before meeting them, having lunch and taking the train aallll the way back to the city again just so Erika and Min could DDR for like 15 minutes...I HAD A SHOT LOL :) I'm amazing. Really. 

OH BUT LOL on the way to the city, these ticket inspectors came along...so I got out my ticket and they're like "Can we see your concession card?" and obviously none of us (except Erika) had one, so he did the whole *serious talk* thing and told us we were committing a serious offence and we would be fined $168. I did the whole innocent "But I thought you needed a concession card after 16? :')" thing, high pitched voice and all :P I didn't think anything would happen anyway, but Fred was killing himself laughing after they let us off...haha

Trained home, walked to the park and waited for Mark, hung out, time flew, bladder was at bursting point and went home to have a nice pee.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Just home from Speech Night, it was fantastic :D Mass singing was AMAAAAAZZZING!!! Best EVER, it always ends up happening on the night :) LOL us year 10's decided to all say "Shanks" instead of "Thanks" when we got our award, so we could do something weird to be remembered by I suppose...haha, and apparently I looked really weird next to short Viv and tall Georgia. It was stressful to go from orchestra to mass singing, coz we had to run backstage, drop off our instrument and run AAALLLLL the way around the back of the hall...I was so dead from running that I couldn't even hold my hummmmmmmmmmmmm's properly for "Hey Children". I also hijacked Kim's dress while I was backstage, but I didn't get to sign anyone else's uniform and I won't see any of them again for a long time :(

Am currently a tad upset that dad didn't end up making it to the night, he left right when it started coz someone called him...but what can you do, gotta keep smiling :)

xo

goodbye class of 08

It's actually really depressing to see the Year 12's leave...the older you get, the more people you know and the sadder it is :(

The review was hilarious as usual, this year we got stereotyped as a bunch of ipod enthusiasts with permanent earphones in our ears :) year 7's were the OMGSCHOOL:D!! kids, year 8's were just spastics, year 9's were the orange oompa loompas as usual and year 11's were the IKISSEDAGIRLANDILIKEDIT hahaha :P The embarrassing and slutty facebook/myspace photos again got projected onto the big screen for the entire school to witness...I lol'd pretty hard at the photo from D's party with the fake alcohol :P I also heard of a few reaaaaallly baaad photos that got cut...and I've seen them and ohhhh boy they're pretty damn bad haha

After the review was their final formal assembly, the accompanist disappeared and we had to sing the hymn totally on the spot and it was AWESOME. Really nice way to end things :) This year's speeches were all amazing, it wasn't like previous years where EVERYONE cried and the entire audience was pretty much bawling =/ I really really really liked Danni's speech about thinking outside the box...who says we were in the box to start with? And and and Grace's speech made me soooo enthusiastic about debating and I'm not even a debater LOL. I almost started crying at Kim because she's just pure awesome and I'll miss her and her musical talent so much :( Very sweet how people joined in with her singing at the end! Thenn the year 12 song (written by Kim I assume) which was so pretty, can't wait to hear it tomorrow night again

After all that emotional stuff, we went back to class, which was music...and a total bludge ahahah, coz Kim, Biro, Anne and Miffy joined us and it was just a chatter session about what had just happened :) Next year's music performance class is gonna be so fun! OH AND Biro had a massive waratah flower from Kim and it was SO COOL ahahhaha

It feels like everything's coming to an end, even though we're only 3 weeks into the term o.o Speech Night is tomorrow, all day rehearsal + hanging out at *insert location here* afterwards and then I'll head home via park if I have time (I MISS YOU D:) Just polished my shoes as well :D and Dad's actually turning up to one of my school events which is practically a miracle, so if anything I'm glad I got that award just so Dad would come watch :)

AHHHH ONE MORE THING OH MY GOD DELTA'S GOING TO MY COUSINS COMPANY TOMORROW BECAUSE THEIR COMPANY IS SPONSORING HER LATEST TOUR AND MY COUSIN ASKS IF I WANT SOMETHING SIGNED...AND NOW I HAVE TO PICK ONE DELTA ITEM OUT OF MY MASSIVE COLLECTION D: HELP? 

Most likely gonna go with a CD, but which one?? First album, the most recent album or the one I listened to the most....ehhhhhh

I swear I'm not a crazy obsessive stalker fan...I WAS though :)

xo

hoorah for awkward

Year 12's last official day today! Nothing much happened all day really...WE STARTED CERAMICS IN AAARTTT WHEEEEEEE

Mine's a model of a melting pineapple :) which I hollowed out, so I can use as a vase later on I suppose...so exciting gaahh

AND LOL IN VISCOMM...well actually...

Last night Sam told me about seeing the teacher wearing a red lacy g-string once...today, Sam was like "Hey Soph come here!"...and I assumed she wanted me to check out someones calendar design...but no....it was was the teacher...sitting down...with her g-string pulled up quite high...and her pants down low....and it was not cool...*nightmares*

So er anyway, had a kanji test for Jap afterwards, I TOTALLY FORGOT HOW TO SAY THE WORD "TODAY" IN JAP LOL!! And I also accidentally wrote ごぞいます instead of ございます...aaahhahahaha

Lunchtime ended up quite odd, why did Amanda and Leah disappear?? (it rhymes hahaha) COZ MIN KNEES SEXED MY BOOBS!! And we discovered that knee + boob = noob...aahahaha noob sex!

Um...so then we had music, which was a waste of time again...then singing rehearsal agaaain which is quite exciting :D We're sounding really good EXCEPT when I start singing my dadadada's ON TIME and NOBODY else is =___= 

Aaaand then we had the announcement for prizewinners for 08. In our year: Simone, Viv, me, Georgia, Chloe, Sam and Chelsea  :) I shall never understand HOW teachers pick the people though? I highly doubt they compare results of EVERY student in the entire year level =/ I bet it's biased...coz I can think of so many more people worthy of an award!! Gah, but congrats EVERYONE!

xo

(ps, Exam timetable is in - English, Science, DAY OFF, Music, Methods techfreeandactiveinoneday :(, Art, Jap, Viscom, FIN)

lol my popsicle.

While I was in deep sleep, Dad was already cycling himself around Melbourne for the "Around the Bay in a Day" (except he chose the half a day ride, 50km). Susan's dad went as well, but I heard he was pretty much dying by the end of the race :P Maybe he was right to laugh at Susan when she suggested she do the ride as well...and holy crap, I was almost gonna do it with her =/ Thank goodness I didn't haha, me and my lazy ass would fail after 20km...

Love the contrast of his tan...check out his face and legs? AHAHA, love you. Clearly my motivation to exercise came from mum...

The rest of today is made of suck.

Things to do asap:

- 800 to 1000 word "MINI" essay (halfway there)

- Viscom analysis of that Sure Shot gallery thing

- Revise Kanji for Jap and fully memorise the oral

- Maths homework that I've been putting off since last week...

- Veggie people prac report

- Practice for unit 2 exam that's in 8 days...

- Finish the music analysis that I said I'd finished, but actually still have 8 pages to go...

Only 11 days of school til exams start D: Year 12 review on Tuesday (VERY EXCITED!), Speech Night on Wednesday, House Swimming on Friday. Also need to get Amanda and Erika b'day pressies next weekend as well!!! Hehe, looking forward to both parties, even if it's the week before exams start...

I should also do a video but I don't have time this week...too much stuff happening *frantic* 

xo

so hot!!

29 degrees...damn right, summer's almost here!! <3

Pretty much did nothing today, spent the morning learning exponential functions and logs, coz there's 11 days of school left and I doubt we'd finish off methods unit 2 in that much time...so I got a little bit ahead with tutoring :) so that's my 2nd last class for the year, woohoo!! One more class before exams and I should be fine :D

Walked to the library at 2:30, aiming to get back to the park at 3 but epic failed...the weather was soo hot and I was sweating like a pig (yes Leah, worse than my sweat from juggling)...my back was dripping, and if I wasn't a girl I woulda just walked back naked from the waist up. Ended up at the park 15 minutes late, but Mark was late anyway so I attempted reading Atonement while waiting...bloody complicated language x__x We had to move trees due to cricketers, back to our old poop tree which has really bad grass now :( + being poked to death is NOT FUNNY. I AM NOT LAUGHING COZ I THINK YOU'RE FUNNY, IM LAUGHING COZ IT TICKLES. And coz your rib bone is pointy...hahaha I joke, I love every bit of your strange ribs :)

And now I am again teaching my theory class of 2, in the living room which is like a freaaakinngg sauunaaa and one of the kids is wearing long sleeves and long pants...he's the slow one who doesn't understand dotted notes :P It took him half an hour to comprehend modulation to "dominant, subdominant and relative key"...half an hour! I know, it sounds complex but for the second last chapter of the book in 2nd grade theory, you think he would have gathered that by now...Ah but he's the most adorable thing ever, I just wanna smoosh his cheeks when he says "bye sophie" with a big grin on his face :)

xo

HELP.

So I'm pretty much going nuts at the moment, I need to write a massive application for the Kwong Lee Dow Young Scholars Program and it's due next Friday...except out of the 5 of us nominated to apply, I am so......fail o.o 

We got one person who I swear has an average of 100%, another who gets leadership roles for everything, and another two who win awards left right and centre. I have...none of those things =__= It's not that I'm putting myself down or having low confidence in myself...it's just that the application asks for leadership roles that I have undertaken, and awards that I have won LOL

I HONESTLY CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING!! So I get form captain every year, but then you have to list what the roles that position must undertake - which is practically nothing o.o

As for awards, they're all generic ones that everyone gets...and the ones that AREN'T generic are all related to music and art. I don't want my entire application to be full of music and art!! Because after that, I have to go on and say what my greatest achievement was and why (which is music related) then write a short bio for the selection panel to get to know me (which is probably also full of music and art). 

Oh and going back to the generic awards (like UNSW competitions), it would be slightly more impressive if I had the intelligence to get a distinction or something...credit's are kinda like "well you weren't crap enough to get a participation...". The only thing that I'm proud of on my list of awards is the Academic Awards, except I didn't get one in 2006, so it looks inconsistent and it bugs me :P

Okay so it sounds like I'm whinging about this...I promise you I'm not being a complainer about this, coz I'm actually pretty proud of myself :) If only I was more of a balanced nerd, rather than a music/art nerd...

xo

(ps - any suggestions on how to suckup to the selection panel without making up jizz and sounding like a...suckup o.o?)

not cool.

SO

Today we had PE first up, and the 4 of us had to perform in assembly again, so we had to leave early (around 9:15-9:20). I had no idea we would be walking to the park to play footy/soccer/walk around, so we asked the 2 PE teachers if we could either a) not go or b) get there and leave early

Response? "It's a one off lesson, the music teacher won't kill you if you're late...we'll be back by 9:25 anyway"

UMMM YOU CLEARLY DON'T KNOW THE MUSIC TEACHER!! ESPECIALLY AROUND THE WEEK OF SPEECH NIGHT!!

So we ended up getting to the park at 9:05, which took 10 minutes. And by calculation, we should have left the minute we arrived, in order to get back to school on time =__= We walked a lap of the park (which is POINTLESS!! You can walk around ANYWHERE, why did it have to be that specific park?!) and left straight after

We got to assembly at 9:25, the time that EVERYONE was meant to arrive

I totally wanted to rub that into the PE teacher's faces, coz if we had left with everybody else, we would have been 10 minutes late meaning we would a) miss our performance and b) be decapitated

Aside from that, all went well (awesome arrangement bethany!) and everything ran as usual...there were far too many awards to present in assembly, something like 62 distinctions and 10 high distinctions for an english comp, another million for chemistry and another million for another million subjects (exaggeration is fun). The junior school kids came and helped draw the school raffle, which was like a $6000 Chadstone voucher O____O second and third prizes were also $3000 and $1000 vouchers, and booksellers prize was a years worth of school fees, which is what, $20,000?!!!??

What SUCKED was that the voucher winners were ALL random people not from our school - massive anti-climax hahahha...the booksellers prize went to Liselle though :) 

Yeah and the rest of the day was a blah...went pretty fast. Had to help mum descale our coffee machine which semi failed, because I accidentally pressed "clean" instead of "descale" so we wasted a bit of the $24 bottle of descaling liquid x__x The machine is still dead coz there's something wrong with the water circuit and the coffee tastes sour...or maybe I descaled it wrongly and I accidentally drank descaling liquid instead of coffee =/ AHH I DUNNO

xo

babies

Had to make veggie people for a bio prac today! Mine was male (onion) and then I had babies with Lisa's person :) The crazy arms? Don't ask...

Then during Jap, we got kicked out of the class coz the year 7's needed to use the TV in the room to learn about making babies........

Then during MATHS, our entire application task was about twin newborn babies =___=

I STUFFED UP!!! AHHH, for real...I dunno what number I used but I ended up with a 20kg baby at the age of 40 weeks?!?!?!

Screw that.

Just got off the phone with Mark, my ear throbs and my voice hurts from singing while I was left home alone haha...now I'm gonna go watch gossip girl ep 6, and attempt homework (I dunno what the hell kinda homework I even HAVE)

xo

xtreme learning and omg!

EXCITING NEWS. I haz it.

But you shall have to read on :)

Anyway, we had that Xtreme Learning Challenge thing with skevs today, it was less crap than human relations day but still not fantastic. First rotation was Act and React and it was basically a rip-off of Thank God You're Here + a little extra drama. Fun fun, but awkward coz we didn't know anyone yet. Definately an advantage to be a funny and loud person, we had a few of them which made things amusing :)

The chocolate muffins were gone by the time I got to attack the recess food so I just ate an apple :( Rotation 2 was juggling, which I could already mostly do, but I was sweating like a pig at the end of it.

Lunch was just the usual rolls, 1 wasn't enough and 2 was too many so I ate 1 + a small pizza and I was hungry anyway. People started mingling by now, there was a girls/guys soccer game going and our little group were whacking a stress ball with drink bottles. Attempted getting Dean to come mingle coz he knew CC or something like that...

Rotation 3 was ballroom dancing hahaaaa, them males fail at dancing. Most of them had sweaty hands, some of them either didn't hold hands properly or wouldn't let go...it was pretty fez haha. Did some lame salsa and marimba, they were both really easy and basically stomping on the ground moving left and right. It's especially hilarious dancing with a REALLY tall guy, coz they have to duck so much when we do that pretzel move (that Leah fails at). It's also especially hilarious dancing with someone shorter than you, you have to duck halfway to spin haha

So the day ended early but I had to wait around for orchestra anyway, which is sounding spiffy for Speech Night next week!

And as for the exciting news...hehe, shall not reveal yet

xo

daaaaaa da da daa

My voice is all whacked up from singing hahaha

Double maths became a single maths today WOOHOO, we had a Speech Night rehearsal and basically dadadada'd our hippo part for an hour :) and does this not sound creepy?

"Hey little children, what do you see?"

...yesssss.

Lunchtime didn't help either, everyone was slightly spastic and Emma and I were singing the gospel part of "Everybody Is Free (To Wear Sunscreen)", Erika and Emma were slapping each other and then Min took a chunk out of my hand with her nail :(

Poll in the side, please take a sec to vote and help my indecisiveness :')

xo

violinists

After another 3 hour marathon session of accompaniment, I walked away with an extra $120 and the realisation that me being an accompanist to all these violinists is like...musical speed dating o.o

Not in the romance kinda way, but the fact that each person plays in a different style and it takes time for me to adjust to them. Sometimes its instant click, and the music gets along with each other straightaway, other times it's dodgy to hell and back and constant rehearsal hardly improves the disagreement in the music...

YES anyway, bad analogies aside, 3 hours sitting on my ass is super tiring but at least I can afford to buy the Wicked tickets :D

ALSO - help me out guys, I dunno if the remaining money should go towards a guitar or an iPod touch? I already have a very old and dying iPod but I am deeply in love with Amanda's touch and I want one :) I don't really know how to play guitar but I want to be able to...I just don't know if I'll end up having time? grarghh, help

HI LEAH

xo

family day and such

THE WEATHER IS AMAZING AHHH :D :D :D

And obviously I can't let it go to waste, so I trotted on my way out after maths tutoring :) Aimed for the 11:10ish train and failed so I caught the one at around 11:30...attempted to change trains at the usual place but NOOO, I had to take a replacement bus. AN EXPRESS BUS!!! =__= So I had to take the bus BACK and ended up at Scotch an hour later than I was meant to be =__= Bumped into Mel on the bus though, she was off to the Kid's Choice Awards/Afterparty...luckyy

So when I FINALLY arrived...sat on their massive oval withhh Mark/Rama/Josh (ohyeah, I saw a car with the number plate RAMA 5 and it made me lol); waited for Min and Hannah (who actually ditched class, whoaa you rebel :P) and then I have no idea what we did o.o Just walked back and forth, GOT MY SNOW CONE, didn't get my sausage coz I cbf buying a ticket and waiting in line etcetc

Min stole my camera and:

HAHAHAHA gotcha (there's about a million more of both of you as well)

Thennn Erika turned up, tried to find Daniel to return his Supernatural discs but he was running a race...Hannah left (DID YOU GET BACK TO CLASS ALRIGHT?! I TEXTED YOU AND YOU DIDN'T RESPOND SO I KINDA FREAKED OUT...)

Not sure what or why but:

You guys...the hotel's across the street :) and I apologise to both of your bf/gf's...it ain't what it looks like but I think its hilarious :D

Thennnnn we ditched Josh and Mark by accident, of course (ie, the tram came and they missed it) and took advantage of the fact that we had Josh's phone :P So yeah, Min changed his wallpaper to a photo of a half naked Erika's brother aahhaha. Ate lunchhh, Josh left...thennn Josh came back to retrieve his phone :) 

OH AND HAHAHA, I FORGOT....Aidan kept calling Min throughout the day and seeing as he hates Mark...Mark kept picking up the phone and going "hello? we're in a tunnel bye *hangs up*". And so on the way to the park, he called again and then Mark became a James that goes to Melbourne High, and we were all in a tunnel catching pokemon :) or something like that...pro improv man *bows down* (edit: LOLOL AIDAN BELIEVED IT WAS A JAMES AND NOT ACTUALLY MARK...SIF!)

We ended up in a park somewhere, climbed some trees :D 

I lol at the last pic...Mark and Erika = HIGH UP IN THE SKY :D Min = 1m off the ground and still scared shitless and needs Fred to save her...

Yeah and then we pretty much went home...Erika left, we dropped Min at her house, dropped Fred to pick up his brothers and Mark and I trammed home because of the fcking trains =__= park'd for a little while and now I'm home teaching theory again

Gah, the girl is too smart... I gave her 3 stacks of work to do over the holidays, and she finished it ALL. AND NOW I'M GONNA RUN OUT OF WORK TO GIVE HER. Plus, I can't correct the work fast enough

I think I'm sunburnt.

xo

(ps - ERIKA PASSED HER 6th GRADE THEORY WITH 85 EVERYONE!! PWNED ME BY 2 MARKS WOOOOOHOO)

green legs

Soph: "Your skin...is green..."

Min: "IS NOT...LEAH, YOU'RE GREEN"

Leah: "I AM NOT! *to everyone else* omg she just called me green :O"

Okay yeah it was funnier at the time...but Min was complaining that her legs were "getting fat" from DDR'ing all the time (muscle and fat are different...she has issues) so we started comparing leg size. She stuck her leg next to mine and the contrast of skin colour amused us for a bit:

I blend in with the floorboards :D

Had our art presentation today, everything went fine :) I discovered I don't get that nervous when I present, but I stumble on my words a lot...which therefore looks like I stutter, which therefore looks like I'm nervous =__= I stumble on my words when I talk usually anyway, gosh

LOL in music, the teacher was going on about how we should probably touch base on where everyone was at...and we're like "yeah by the way...we have our technical/sight reading exam today :)" and it just randomly went ahead o.o Got around half an hour to practice, I got so bored though so I practiced home stuff so I don't have to do a full hour tonight woohoo!! The exam went fine, tech work was good and sight reading was a self-fail, but she thought it was great so I'm good with that :) After the exam we just pissed around on the piano, Delta Goodrem songs and Defying Gravity...Erika and I yet again compare hand size and I yet again became insanely jealous :( 

And because I know you read this Hannah (quote "I read on your blog that ....etc" ahaha) I'm quite amused by your musical stuttering O.O

Anyway, looking forward to family day tomorrow, even though it sounds like semi-crap...but FOODFOODFOODFOODOMG!! And Mark :) miss you omg haha

showcase

Just got home from Steph's senior showcase concert and it was AMAZING

Puts our school to shame...seriously. They have the same number of people in their school, yet so much more musical talent and a better orchestra x___x

Steph played the same piece as the one I'm performing for my unit 2/lmus exam...her style is soo different but really interesting, I recorded it all so I can show mum/rewatch it :) Her dress was AWESOME haha, I can't believe some of the people bought super expensive dresses....one girl got a Lisa Ho for like $400 down from $1200 or something crazy like that :S ANYWAY yeah Steph pwnd...was treated like a celeb afterwards hahahaha, some random guy she vaguely knew was like OMG...OMG CAN I SHAKE YOU HAND?! and she's like haha hi *hug* and he was spazzing out that she hugged him aahahahha

Pigged out during the interval, twas awesome :) good food hahaha

I have photos as well but they're pretty goddamn shocking so I won't post them up here (might facebook them up for Steph/friends). Had to send Iris and Matt home before we could get dropped off so I got seriously late and now I'm super tired...just finished up on that damn art presentation, don't have time to finish maths and I might as well go fail my technical/sight reading sac tomorrow =__=

my legs (and other stuff)

Firstly...I have a really random mozzie bite in the centre of my leg

Secondly...WHY IS MY LEG SO SHINY?! IT'S REFLECTIVE!!! Not just the light either, we were comparing legs at recess and mine outshines them all :) but at the same time its kinda dry and flaky o.o

Double day today - Jap, science and English...can't remember much, cept I'm loving this genetics stuff in science/bio :D If you have brown eyes and your parents are both blue eyed then you're adopted. Apparently one year, some poor kid found out he was adopted by learning it in bio...and his parents still hadn't told him :( owch

Rewatched Strictly Ballroom in English again, analysing it more...blahblah, emailed back and forth with Em til my battery died. Also emailed chem teacher about last terms results, just checked my email and i gots an 83% which is an asian fail but I'm cool with that :P

Had piano lesson after school which was a hell of a lot better than last weeks, I actually have decent things to work on this week :) then went shopping for stuff with mum

ya thats about it...shiny legs still annoying me

xo

day one v2

Definately can't get used to school...had a quick/useless assembly this morning and what was first class? DOUBLE MATHS!!!

dun dun dun...

It was okay actually, still differentiating...just harder stuff now. Highlight of the class was obviously munchies, chuppachups ftw!

We lost our spot in front of the heater coz a stupid table was in the way and yeah, we're too lazy to move it so we migrated 2m across to the carpet. -insert holiday chatter here-

GUESS WHO GOT 2 A+'s FOR ENGLISHHH woohoo, so proud! Doing film study on Strictly Ballroom still, bludgeee :D

Music, we had a new international student join our class which was awesome, her name's Cleo(patra) and she seems more talkative than the other int. students :) Had a good lesson, coz the teacher forgot about the assignments and shows no sign of memory for the tech sac this week...

Lunchtime, Erika got back from the ortho and more chatter about holidays...I MADE A JENGA PYRAMID

(I attempted putting another triangle on top of that but it failed)

Started bio for this terms science rotation which I reckon I'll like coz it's genetics...spent the entire lesson going on about mid-digit hairs, tongue rolling, widow's peak and hand folding etc

LAST PERIOD WAS ART OMG I'M SO EXCITEDDD!! Next topic is ceramics, wasted the lesson doing observation drawing but I'm so pumped to make the damn thing...it's meant to be some sorta 3D plant creation inspired by a 20th century art style eeeee

Orchestra after school, ended early again and now my house smells like lamb chops and I'm pretty damn excited for dinner

xo

school tomorrow...

and that is all

xo

FOODIES

HOOKAY well today was plain old boring blahblah...finished that damn 15 page long thing though, be proud of me!!!! Still have to get the 2nd 10 page long one out of the way by the end of tomorrow =___= Technical and sight reading exam this Friday, as well as an art presentation this Friday EXCEPT I can't last-minute either of those because I just realised I'll be out all Thursday night for a concert...meaning I'll also miss Heroes :( bummer...

Tonight was really fun though, went to Logan/Rebecca's house with Susan and Warren's family...MASSIIIIVE dinner, NOM NOM NOM x10. Got to their house and there was a huuuuge long dining table all set out with tonnes of dishes PLUS the dad's were out the back bbq'ing lamb kebabs. IT WAS LOVE!!!! I ate 3 :) and Dad ate 4 BEFORE dinner even started

Susan's fam rocked up half an hour late as usual, we ate dinner and BOY AM I STUFFED. Downside was, they had 3 trays of raw oyster + one steamed + one grilled with cheese, but they were left out in the open for too long in my opinion...they smelt awful, and I hate oyster to begin with :P I usual loove the grilled with cheese one, but it looked like crap so I stayed away. Susan hates oyster as well, but for some wacko reason, she decided to try one and nearly puked :) The backyard was awesome, so we went outside while it was still light (ie, staying away from Logan's pet daddylonglegs spider :|) and basically talked about how her sister has bigger boobs than she does LOL. Logan came out for a bit and started setting ants on fire to feed his stupid spider...then told us to come inside to play Uno WOOHOOO

SO fun ahaha, I DIDNT LOSE (I came 2nd last...). Warren disappeared for a bit, so I played Halo with Logan on Xbox ahahah. He's the funniest, I swear...half the fun is listening to him commentating on the game - "HEADSHOTBAM!! HEADSHOTBAM!! DIE MOPEY!! DON'T YOU DARE GET INTO MY TANK MOPEY!! HEADSHOTBAM!!"

Rebecca and Surae disappeared as well, so Susan and I just sat there being amused by the boys...we started talking about how restrictive her dad was (he thought Mamma Mia was innapropriate for a 15 year old, because there was too much kissing o.o). Logan cut in and decided to tell us this *ghost* story. No matter HOW serious he's being, I CANNOT take him serious!! The way he talks makes me shit my pants with laughter - "So then this retarded...umm, not retarded LIKE THIS HALF CRAZY WOMAN YEAH!!! She heard the piano playing and was like WHOA there's no one in the house...NO WAIT STUFF THAT, THE DOCTOR WAS IN THE HOUSE!! And and and then so she was tied up in bed oh shit I mean excuse my French...ohyeah so she was tied up and this ghost came along and then ripped off her wig AND IT WASN'T A GHOST, IT WAS HER HUSBAND AVENGING HIS MOTHERS DEATH!!!!!!! :O"

You get the idea :) plus, he has a wogvoice, and he's asian o.o

Also spent a lot of the night playing with their dog, Milly. She's SO cute, Susan kept accidentally kicking her though, and dogs generally hate me so...that was kindof fail :)

 

One day of holidays left....*sobs*

xo

fark...2 days left

I cannot believe how fast these holidays have gone...spent most of today CRAMMING in that holiday homework

Did as much maths as I could before my brain imploded so I moved onto music :) STILL haven't finished ONE analysis for music...it's so bloody unfair!!!!!!!!! I have a total of 35 pages to analyse and stupid Erika has 3!! THREEEEE?!?!!!

=________= damn you doublestaved instruments...taking up so much space on the page gaaahhh

Afternoon, the people I'm accompaniment'ing for came an hour early, but I stayed in my room til 3:30 when the teacher came. FAR OUT I HATE THAT GUY!!! He's disgusting and he stomps too hard. What kinda VIOLIN teacher tells a piano player how to play MY instrument properly?! He keeps telling me to play more gentle WELL YEAH I WOULD IF I COULD HEAR MYSELF OVER YOU STOMPING AND CLAPPING THE BEAT =___= Poor kids, seriously...if they get something wrong, he grabs the violin and tries playing it for them and it just ends up sounding shitter than they played

If it weren't for the fact that I'm earning good $$, I would have no idea why I do this on a weekly basis.

Also to my huge group of...9 followers :D read this coz it's better than any crap I write. And also coz it's dedicated to me (first letter of every line...read them going downwards! woohoo, genius) <3

The weather was AMAZING this morning, worthy of shorts WOOHOO. Went out with Lisa to go catch a movie, caught the train at around 12 to MC and realised that all the movies were on at 2:30ish :( Decided on House Bunny hahaha...

So we had to bum around for 2 hours aye?! Ate lunch first (she had pork buns aaahahah asian), then decided to check out the Dream Festival since I'd seen ads in the papers EVERYWHERE for at least 2 weeks...sheesh

We got to Birrarung Marr and there's a whole FIELD of cloudhead eyefaced white men...which is fair enough since it was the dreamfest logo, but it was still really random...most of them were plain white with a mirror in the eyeball (lol at us)

But there were a few that uhh, stood out.
