AUSTRALIA

OHMYGOD

SUCH an epic movie, I MUST work with Baz Luhrmann one day...hahahaha, he's a genius! Camerawork, scenery, storyline ahhhhh *lovelove*. There was a reference to Strictly Ballroom at the very start "A life lived in fear is a life half lived"...and the guy who played Doug in Strictly Ballroom was in Australia as well :D Pluuus of course Nicole Kidman also being in Moulin Rouge...Baz Lurhmann and his connections hahaha

So Steph the nob missed the train...no, not because she was running late...because she was standing at the platform DAYDREAMING HAHAHAHAHA, the train drove RIGHT past her and I was inside thinking "...wut". Buut I ran into Kim on the way :D hello! haha

While I waited for her, I went to get lunch...I swear, ALL the money I've earned over the past few months has gone to FOOD =___= I spent $12.60 on food and a drink today :(

Oh and Steph bought a floppy hat coz she's going on holidays next week, luckyy!!!

xo

school temporarily officially over (again)

VCE intro classes done :D So all I have left is the last day of school, which is generally pointless (assembly, yearbook and reports)

Music 3/4 sounds pretty good, I'm happy with the set works :D Summertime by Gershwin and Carmina Burana by Orff...definately have a listen to both, I'm sure you guys have heard of the 2nd one...I had no idea what it was til I heard it and it was like "OH, that song that's always in movies and ads..." haha

Printing out programmes for the xmas piano concert...oh boy, I sure hope I don't have to print 100 of these =/ stupid printer speed

I should totally price the programmes at $1 each, then give the money to charity :D

^ Cover :D

xo

good fun and good news :D

Went to see Mirrors today with Erika, Min and Fred :D When I got there, the others started ddr'ing for ages, then Erika had to leave for a violin lesson

While we were eating in Nandos, Viv and CC walked by so we played cards for an hour LOL :P Mucked around in the pet store and Dick Smith's til the movie started (Viv and CC left, chickened out haha)

HOWEVER

We had issues buying tickets, coz it was MA15+ and Min lost her ID =________= Lady didn't let us buy them, tightass...

So we called up Viv and CC, told them to come back and buy tickets with me :D and this time the OTHER lady served us hehe...so yeah, we got in :)

Movie was really good, great storyline!! Min screamed at 2 things

1) Sudden movement from a....pigeon 

2) Dog jumping up to the window

LOL, the 2 least scary things in the entire film made her scream like a chickenshit...some dude in the row in front yelled "IT'S JUST A BIRD!!!" ahahahha

And during the movie there's handprints on the mirrors that can't be cleaned, so afterwards in the bathroom, our conversation went like this -

Min: Actually, I'm not so freaked by mirrors afterwards :D :D :D

Me: It'd only freak you out if there was a handprint on the mirror

Min: *puts a went handprint onto the mirror*...........*SCREAMS AND RUNS*

What...a...NOOB ahahahhahaha

Got home, checked email and found out I got accepted into the Kwong Lee Dow thing :D Welcome event on 12th Dec, yay

xo

ENGLISH

xo

return of the exams D:

Will cut to the chase, in order of highest to lowest...

Music - 95% (I fail at hearing repeated notes hahaha)

Viscomm - 95% (she gave me 2/4 for using at least one filter? I USED 2 FILTERS DAMMIT)

Jap - 93%

Art - 88% (thing about art is, she ticked everything but still took marks off o.o I have no idea)

Science - 85%

Methods - 77% tech free and 80% tech active (tech active improved and tech free deproved haha)

English is tomorrow...hopefully will be fine :)

xo

semi-last day of semi-freedom

Getting exam results back tomorrow, so today was kinda the last day of early holidays :) In which I did practically did nothing all day but eat a really gross Deli Choice roll from maccas :(

Went to the library via Susan's house who had juuuust gotten home from a maths and history exam. Also bumped into Steph who had juuuuuust gotten a haircut (couldn't see the difference though haha). Sat in the park in the cold with Mark for a while on the way home as well and I apologise for my leaky nose :)

And I find myself back at home watching movies...again

I AM SO HUNGRY

xo

WICKED x2

Second time seeing Wicked today, with Erika this time :) She missed her train, so while I was waiting for her I bought me some marshmallows for chubby bunnies haha

Had a few hours before the show to waste, yet we got there 3 minutes before doors closed *phew*. SO close to the front this time round, row G (first row of A reserve) and pretty much dead centre :D

It's incredible watching it a second time round because you notice random things that you never noticed the first time round, for example there's a guy in the chorus who played a woman through the entire show O.O I assume they needed another woman in the cast, but still needed a male voice haha...or the actor just likes doing drag, i dunno :P

"I'm Not That Girl" and "For Good" reduced me to tears once again; everyone cheered for Bert Newton taking over as the wizard (although his singing voice isn't that fantastic IMO, his character is excellent :D)

After the show, went home, refreshed for a bit then had to go straight to a rehearsal which lasted an hour and a half...went home, practiced piano and la la la sleepy

xo

weather fail

Not loving this weather

If its gonna rain, RAIN DAMMIT!! Don't do the on-off thing all day...grrr

Had plans to go out but the hail made me cancel, then the sun came out, then the sun went down and I got confused and in conclusion I didn't go out and stayed home all day :(

Started designing the annual piano concert programmes for 08, gonna go with a corkboard sorta theme this year...06 was cute and xmassy, 07 was classical and elegant and this year is totally random coz my creativity juices have been totally drained from taking art and viscomm haha

SEEING WICKED WITH ERIKA TOMORROW!!

xo

movie marathon

 Yup, spent the entire day watching random movies

Hancock, Good Luck Chuck and Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control :) all not too bad, good for time killing...

Went to the shop and grabbed milk for mum, had a look in the cool store coz checking out their jewellery makes me happy :) unfortunately the price tag makes me depressed but that's another story haha

And now teaching them little ones coz I changed their lesson time to Friday night (xmas concert rehearsals start tomorrow!)

xo

freedom day one

Went out withhhh: Min&Fred, Amanda, Lisa, Leah, Viv, Steph, Sam and Tamara&Andrew todaaay :) Planned to all meet at 12 (except Lisa), but somehow that stuffed up and only 4 of us were there on time...

Went to some random jewellery store to buy Lisa a birthday present - solid sterling silver necklace with a key pendant :) Split the price of it up between 7 of us, which ended up looking pathetic for Lisa but she liked it so all is great :D

Mucked around in the toy place, ate lunch, bumped into the Urban08 people and then set off to Crown to watch Sex Drive

Except we didn't feel like watching Sex Drive and ended up watching Burn After Reading

Which was a bad choice =/

Movie was funny though, I just didn't get the point of it...maybe I'm not mature enough haha, plus the Osbourne guy reminds me of Mr O'C...AND BRAD PITT IS LOL 

Tired, gnight

xo

ZERO!

Freedom *relief*

Jap went well, I stuffed up my different verbs for "to wear" though...mehh, I can't be stuffed caring where you're meant to "do" a scarf or not :)

During our break haha, we texted Lisa happy birthday...6 of us texted 6 seperate chunks - "Happy, sweet, 16th, birthday, lisa xx, from everyone :)", which I thought was hilariously dorky of us :D

Viscomm was hilariously stressful...during the course of the exam, I somehow managed to accidentally change the computer keyboard to French, and I was trying to type:

a girl's

and it came out as:

q girlù$

Plus, EVERY time I pressed Ctrl+S, Ctrl+A or Ctrl+ANYTHING it would ask me if I wanted to save before quitting Photoshop...I got SO confused, and had to do things without shortcuts for a good 10 minutes :( Also couldn't type any numbers, which was a pain in the ass coz I had a random stroke of inspiration, but I needed to edit the canvas size but NOO the numbers wouldn't type =___= I fiiiinally figured out the problem in the end, thank bajeezus...

And throughout the entire thing, I wanted to yell at Min to stop working on questions 1 and 2...she spent an HOUR fiddling with the most pointless things and it frustrated me so badly hahaha

So tomorrow we're going out :D of course, haha, CELEBRATION MUCH!! Plus, we have to get a pressie for Lisa (good luck for piano tomorrow!)

Should we watch Sex Drive or Burn After Reading? :)

xo

FINAL TWO EXAMS TO GO!!

ART IS DONE :D Wasn't too bad, the matching up of the artworks with the style/artist was easy, though halfway through one of the essays I needed to go pee so I had to hold on til more than one teacher was in the room so one of them could supervise me peeing, which is so lovely and awkward :)

I skipped ahead to the 25 mark essay and spent a good chunk of my time on it...then after completing it with satisfaction I realised I had less than half an hour left to do the unseen artwork comparison D: which went fine haha, but I officially have 3 blisters on my fingers from going into a writing frenzy

Bus'd home again, and now I'm studying for Jaaaaaap!!!! 

I'm only excited coz its the last thing I have to think about before I'm FREEEE (ie, I can't study for viscomm anyway haha)

xo

(ps - kimmmmmm...you mean to say...you did music AND methods 3/4 in year 11?!!)

THREE

METHODS DONE AND DUSTEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Tech free - fail

Tech active - better :)

The only thing that is MAJORLY getting to me right now is this stuuuupid question on the Tech free about a Peter who wants to shortlist people for job interviews

My answer looked something like this

(5,0)+(5,1)+(5,2)+(5,3)+(5,4)+(5,5) = 32

Peter has 6 possible combinations for a shortlist

Waitwait, rewind.

What did I write?

6 possible combinations?!!

I EFFING WROTE 32 in my working out and decided to be a smartass so I pulled 6 out of my butt AS THE FINAL ANSWER =__=

...Oh well hahaa, I totally skipped out on question 2 as well coz yeah...didn't know how to :D goodbye 5 marked question. AND GOODBYE FREAKING PETER AND YOUR FREAAAAKING JOB INTERVIEW SHORTLIST

OH AND!!

Goodbye methods for a year :)

...hello gen maths......................................AHHHHHH

xo

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yeah methods tomorrow

Yeah I'm slightly screwed :)

Spent most of today actually revising, I can't seem to get the hang of things...in general I get it, but when it comes down to the specific things...can't...effing...do it.... :(

Took a break after dinner with the fluffhead, which was nice but it was cooold and my bladder got the best of me

I'm back home with an empty bladder now, thanks for wondering (or not) and I'm getting back to maths :) hope my CALCULATOR doesnt die on me tomorrow haaahh

...So where's that luck you promised to wish me every hour aye? BRING IT

xo

thanks $2.50 pen refill

The only thing I used it for was English exam (6 pages of writing and scribbles) + maths cheat sheet (1 double sided page)...cmon, you'd think it could last longer than that!!!!!!??!!!

Anyone else get really picky about stationary? Like if a pen you REALLY love is slowly dying, you use it only for *special* things...and by special, I mean extra neat and nerdy things (ie maths cheat sheet...)

Almost finished the probability side of my cheat sheet, so all that there is left to revise is calculus, which shouldn't be as much coz it was the last topic we learnt :D

BUT CRAP 

I NEED TO STUDY FOR JAP!!

xo

four

Music exam was pretty tough...didn't think it would be that hard, coz I pretty much aced last semester (except for 1 freaking %) and I figured I'd be alright this time too

But nooo, I almost got screwed over on question 1 LOL...but luckily all the written work was okay, it was just the aural!! DAMN AURAL!!!

Stuffed up last bar of rythmic dictation, and stuffed up random chords :( I can distinguish between major and minor, but everything else was just...zxjhkdsweoquealksdjaldjfnalkdjhlaskdfhjlsdkfhj

Well three down, four to go...

Methods however...I am so so SO screwed...uuuughhhhhh :( can't wait til all 2 and a half hours of it is OVER

xo

NOT HAPPY

HOME FROM THE ORTHODONTISTS

THEY FCKED UP ON MY TEETH

YKNOW HOW THE LEFT SIDE WAS STICKING OUT MORE THAN THE RIGHT

YEAH WELL TURNS OUT IT WASN'T MEANT TO HAPPEN

=_________________=

It wasn't really their fault I suppose, turns out a bracket was damaged or something like that...so I got ALL my braces taken off :D :D :D then put back on again :( :( :( At least the new brackets/wire looks really neat and straight

Next appointment in flipping JANUARY!! If all is good, I can get them off *prays for Jan 12th to by my lucky day* I JUST WANT THEM OFF BEFORE SUSAN GETS HERS OFF =________=

Anyway, I spent the entire day revising and wasting time. Got my circular functions all done and dusted, including the cheat sheet for that topic EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT MY SO CALLED A4 SHEET TURNED OUT TO BE 4CM SHORT OF A4

*tears out hair*

xo

five

Science down!

Physics fail.

But everything else was great :) 

NO MORE BIO AND PHYSICS FOR THE REST OF MY SCHOOLING LIFE HUZZAHHH

Chem however...

:( got a fat stack of holiday homework AND I'M NOT EVEN ON HOLIDAYS

WHAT IS UP WITH THAT

Dr J is far too enthusiastic about chem...seriously - "The periodic table is such a marvellous thing!!!"

I kid you not, he actually typed 3 exclaimation marks at the end of that

Maths revision from today til Monday...I demand you all to wish me a fat load of luck every hour, okay?

xo

art walk

Was awesome. SO much talent and inspiration

My pot however...turned out a tad fail

Check out the little melting blip at the bottom...the one that looks really odd in comparison to the rest, hah

And the spikes are cracking :(

xo

six

English done :D I think I went alright

R&J - I was praying so hard for a topic on types of love, but NOOOOO I just HAD to get fate didn't I =/ Either way I studied fate pretty hard yesterday so I think it was okay :) better than the other 3 topics anyway...ahhh

Strictly Ballroom - there was a topic on "what was the most significant theme" or something like that, and I basically copied my practice essay so (Y) woo

I also learnt I can't open doors. Had to run right around to the front of the hall coz I had to pee WHEN THERE WAS A DOOR RIGHT BEHIND ME =__= I tried opening it but I obviously pulled instead of pushed...grr

Artwalk opening tonight, I'm gonna make mum look at the art while I get my awards then run home and study for phys/chem/bio tomorrow (I coulda just said science, but it sounds smarter that way :D)

xo

echo'ing amanda

Yup, *studied* for 4 hours but felt like I learnt nothing as well.

Went to the state library coz it's a good study space...spent first half/most of the time studying for English exam tomorrow. Attempted to write a practice essay, but ended up listing a dotpoint structure of possible essays on fate and love (for Romeo and Juliet).

Ate Nando chips for lunch, went to chinatown to get a really expensive pen...what CHEAPASSES man, they sell the ink separate to the case of the pen?! 

Do the math yourself =.=

After that, I vaguely looked at science but I feel like there was nothing much to learn...went home via park, had a shower, filled self with dinner and am currently turning my essay dotpoints into sentences :D

Exam 1 of 7 tomorrow AHH

xo

stu-dying

Really didn't do anything all day

Did some R&J and Strictly Ballroom summarising

Looked at physics, looking at chem

Ate, breathed, talked

Fin.

xo

how to steal a paper clip

 

 

Magnetic forces ftw :D

Yeah that was pretty much the most fun I had all day...amusing myself with a paperclip container. Worked at dad's place for 8 hours, and by *work* it's just babysitting the office and taking phonecalls/messages. Got less than 10 phone calls all day, including one from mum wanting to hear my phone voice, and one from Mark who decided to relieve my boredom riight at the end of my 8 hours (you NOOOOOOOB but I love you). Some kid got dared (I assume) to barge into the office and ask if he could buy a house...I asked if he had any money and he awkwardly went "it's just a joke, don't worry about it..." and barged out O.o Aside from that, I got quite a bit of revision done, I think I've completely finished revising circular functions haha =__= that's actually quite sad...but I'm really tired and got home after 5

And what am I doing now?

Working =__=

3 theory kids in one class today, not sure why one of the girls decided to crash the early class but she did...meh, its better for me :) $36 in an hour instead of 2 hours

I'm looking forward to sleeping in...siiiiigh

xo

end of year 10

Last day of official classes were today! 

Which meant I've had my last art and viscom classes for the rest of my life :( noooooooooo

And what a crap last lesson, art was just theory Friday...wasn't paying much attention, was sifting through the share drive and stealing photos from the Big Day In, Speech Night, Music Camp etc :P 

OH MY GOD AND JAP ORAL WAS IN PERIOD 2 HAHA, I went first and got it out of the way...just before we started, I was told that we'd get asked 2 or 3 questions afterwards. I went through my oral pretty much perfectly, and did I get 2 or 3 questions afterwards? NOOOOOO, I got like 15 =/

1. What kind of cake did you eat?

CHOCOLATE (the only one I answered enthusiastically aahahah)

2. How many people came to your party?

3. Were they school friends?

Yup

4. What did you do for your party last year?

...

5. Did you go to Sofia's for dinner last year?

No (previous question fail :D)

6. What was your favourite food at Sofia's?

Pasta

7. What is your favourite Italian food?

...Lasagne (what the hell, I just said I liked pasta...ya think it'd be the same)

8. Can your mum cook Italian food?

...uhh...Chinese (I thought I said "middle school" instead of "Chinese" so I confused myself haha)

9. Is cooking your hobby?

No

10. What are your hobbies?

Music (I thought she asked "What are you going to do on the holidays" so I spent ages thinking, then realised it was hobby...aahahah)

11. What instruments do you play?

Piano and flute

12. How long have you been playing piano for?

11 years

13. Are you good at piano?

NAHHHHH IM TERRIBLE, THAT'S WHY I WASTED 11 YEARS OF MY LIFE PRACTICING IT pfft

Okay so not quite 15, but it was amusing thinking back about it :)

Double music after recess, exam *revision* which consisted of coming up with random songs that started with different intervals :) funn!

Maths after lunch, blaaah, then viscom *sobs*...both were pretty boring and the weather is downpouring so msnmsnadkjhdiuhdfhkladf

Will be working at dad's office for 8 hours tomorrow, hello boredom, hello exam revision and hello MONEY

xo

JAB

Double PE for the last time EVER!!!! I desperately wanted to play minor games ie WARBALL but we had some ridiculous taibo instructor come in and makes is punch, kick, jab, lunge and god knows what else :( blaaahhh. We got a game of warball in the end, lost a game and won a game :)

Double viscomm was just a crazy rush of finishing folio work, making sure things were up to date and all - I redrew my finale sketches coz it was a piece of crap, printed out some so-called "inspiration" and glued in things that were falling out :)

Bought a homeless soccer charity shirt during lunch for $10 :D It's slightly (read: extremely) massive, but it's really comfy...yay for manshirts :)

I lol at Teigan - "But...it's not Tuesday today, it's Thursday!!"

Got our calculus topic test back in maths...83% :) which is my second best result all yeeeaaarr!! But methods exam is in a week and a bit, and I've forgotten EVERYTHING...omg, forreal =/ Everyone was on question 7 or 8 during revision and I spent 10 minutes on question 4...fail

Got ALL out physics/chem/bio stuff back in last period, the physics teacher didn't even turn up?! She's so slack, I swear...grr, plus she marks really inconsistently =__= 85 on phys, 83 on chem...it's so retarded, I always do better on physics and I hate the damn subject...and chem is my favourite and I always do worst?! ahaha too bad I'm not doing bio coz it's always been my best, even with the "shhhhp" teacher

Am slightly screwed for the science exam, I have to go to the Art Walk opening on Tuesday night to get some art award...they make a big deal out of it, but it's just a shitty piece of paper in the end, and another award that I COULD have put on my KLD application but it's too late...blaahh, and I can't find Gossip Girl on youtube, so I have to download it...and if I miss Heroes tonight I suppose I'll download that too

xo

OBAMA LLAMA DUCK

YAY

Today was ENTIRELY a bludge, due to double jap, double bio and double english

Why?

Spent most of Jap talking about Saw with Leah, and the rest of the time writing bludgey essays for exam practice :) I REALLY NEED TO WATCH SAW 4, THEN 5!! And Leah really needs to watch 2-4 haha

Bio was stupid, we spent the whole time cutting and pasting chromosomes ahahah...got our test mark back and I got like 95% or something yay :)

English was equally as stupid, Viv and I played this game and went from lemurs to pens, from maple syrup to handguns, and from something else to elephants...so fun haha, and the rest of the lesson was devoted to finding out who won the election

OBAMAAAAAAA 08!!

(and I've decided to go with the iPod touch, will continue to save for a guitar...I think it's best to focus on finishing with my piano exam next May =/)

xo

massive headache

I have NO idea why my head hurts so damn much right now...pain's just stabbing really hard at my temples and GRR

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIKA!!

Left the house early in the morning to go have a massive wild party for Erika's birthday. Massive wild party of course consisting of 2 people :) We watched "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People", which I didn't think was so awesome but it was funny enough and Megan Fox is hot :D Just before the train left Flinders to get to MC, Erika called me (she got into a different carriage) and told me to get off the train, so I did and I found her surrounded by total randoms who were yelling out to a Connex man...apparently Erika passed out in the train O.O I was in panic mode when I found out, even though she had already recovered and was drinking water...while I was on the train, I heard an announcement for "the person who pressed the emergency assistance button" to please press it again, and I thought it was some idiot who pressed the button as a prank, but it was actually Erika fainting omgah...she's all good though, just ran to the train too fast, sat down and stood up too fast...ahahaha noob

Ate at Grill'd NOM NOM, then went searching for a pharmacy that does ear piercing, the LAST one we looked in just happened to be the only place open and has piercing haha. I wasn't allowed in the room to watch coz it was too small, but I heard the earring go through the ear and it sounded really satisfying LOL. Called mum one last time to ask if I could get mine done but fail :(

Went home, showered and went off to the English tuition place that apparently is amazing...and it's really awesome :) I really like it there, as nerdy as it sounds...it's in an actual house and everything's jsut really homey styled. The people there are great, all really intelligent and Robyn is really lovely, just how I imagined her to be! Class of 6, 3 guys 3 girls (though I think one of the girls ain't coming anymore coz she's doing Eng Language - plus, I vaguely met her coz she's Min's friend haha). We did language analysis stuff which I'd already done in semester one, and everything's pretty relaxed so it's easy breezy :D

Just ate dinner and my head still hurts...ugh

xo

stuck

Dammit, I swallowed a pill with not enough water and now it's stuck in my oesophagus and it feels like aahhhh

Completely wasted my day today...I swore to myself I'd finish my work, revise etc but I ended up watching Saw III and Sydney White, spending time on and off Skype with Mark, and drawing stuff

(sn)

But it was fun ahahha

Got photos back from Kathryn/Marcel's wedding! 

I LOOK SO YOUNG AND IT WAS ONLY WHAT, HALF A YEAR AGO?!

Kathryn...is soooo pregnant now haha, I FELT THE BABY'S FOOT UNDER THE BELLY O.O Very much looking forward to the kid being born, I think it's gonna be a girl :) and they're naming her Belle! eee, she's gonna be the prettiest thing ever, coz she'll be a halfie and all :) haha

And that was my day...will go out and savour the last moments of the long weekend tomorrow x__x

xo

amanda's 16th

Will set this blog out similarly styled to the one on my birthday - chronological order (let's test my memory)

8:00am

Wake up. WASH THAT GREASY HAIR AHHH

12:00pm

Get a call from Min telling me to get my ass to the city to help her find a dress for tonight (it's slightly awkward shopping for strapless dresses/bras with her boyfriend? ahaha). Chow down some lunch, rush out the door with all my clothes and shoes for tonight BUT I FORGOT THE ESSENTIALS - AMANDA'S BIRTHDAY PRESENT AND MY CAMERA :( :( :( :( FAIIIIIIL!!!! :( :( :( :(

1:45pm

Went to buy Amanda a pretty awesome ring for a gift from Min - then ran around to Artbox to get a cute box :)

1:00pm

In Supre helping Min try on a dress. She wanted this silky bubble dress but it was too large in the chest area - STUPID GIRL, THE DRESS WAS MY SIZE HAHA and she's like twice the thinness of me...I don't even understand how she managed to think she could fit into it =/ But she got almost the exact same dress minus the silky fabric and the bow at the front, for half the price :) Bought a while bow to tie round the middle as well. Then got dragged to various shoe stores to find matching shoes for a decent price, ended up finding some random pair of heels for $30. Toughest job left to last - buying a strapless bra LOL AHAHAHA yeah I'll skip the details but it took her the longest to buy that one :P

3:00pm

FINALLY ARRIVED AT AMANDA'S PLACE and hour late...heh...mucked around for a bit on DDR (Min forgot to bring another mat) and the Wii. Ate lots of junk food, I still feel bad that all those little pies and stuff were untouched :( I think we played pass the parcel first OH SHIT I JUST REALISED I LEFT MY KEYRING THERE!! OMG AMANDA AHASDJHALSKJDHLAKSJDHLAKJSDHLAKJDHS I WANT MY KEYRING :( AHHHHHHH

Um yeah, then LOL we tried to kill a green dragon pinata, but we ended up making the string break so we had to take it outside, so all the lollies just went BOOM everywhere ahahah good fun :P THE BEST GAME OF ALL LOL was passing popcorn to each other via suctioning it through a straw...so funny, we ended up doing variations of the game and stupid LEAH made us all laugh and fail multiple times :D 

5:00pm

Before we left to dinner, Amanda's aunty and mum did our nails and stuff, it was SO cool!! They're so amazing omg...

:D 

Then we all got dressed up and shiz, all looking really pretty and ready to go...into the pouring rain YAY =__= 

6:30pm

Emma called saying she had arrived, but when we got there she was nowhere to be found?! TURNS OUT THE FAILCHILD WENT TO THE ONE IN THE WRONG SUBURB LOLOL AHHAHHAHA I love you :) Julia rocked up late looking really upset, coz she had spent an hour trying to find it :( but we cheered her up and everything was all good! We spent most of the time camwhoring and I felt bad for *ignoring* Amanda's old school friends...there was a point in the night where we ALL went to the bathroom and her old school friends were still at the table o.o I felt like I was being really rude haha...

Highlights of the night was towards the end after we had devoured all the food - we had a MASSIVE cake, sang happy birthday like 3 times, and I had a cake eating comp (no hands) with Jennifer and Pedro (I hope I got the names right...) AND I WON HAHA, I didn't even get cake on my face? Min had a water sculling race with the same Jennifer, an ENTIRE bottle...if it wasn't water I swear they looked like alco's :P but Min epic failed. I later dared her and D to go up to the waiter and act drunk, but they started stalling and ended up going up to a random asian man and asking him to fill up their water bottle...ahahaa

Many photos and stuff later, we all went home. It's pretty late now and I cbf, so I'll add onto this later (no guarantees) with photos and whatnot...SOMEBODY FACEBOOK THEM ALL UP NOW?!

xo

WHATSUP?!! not much.

Had my last two accompaniments to do this afternoon, both went well! Linda hadn't done exams before either so she was pretty freaked out. I'm upset with her teacher, because she's a great violinist but her teacher is pathetic - he doesn't give them ANY aural/general knowledge training, and hardly any work with the scales. Basically he sets ALL the 6th graders the exact same pieces, and teaches them those 4 pieces up until their exam. What's the point in learning an instrument if that's all you're retricted to? And how BORING would it be to be the teacher, hearing the same 4 pieces again and again........gaahh, it drives me up the wall, because these students have so much potential but they're driven to hating their instrument because of a dodgy teacher...

If I had my way I'd give them a hand with aural at least...the poor girl came out of her exam really upset coz she had no idea aural work was even ON the exam :(

Susan went well as well hahaha, she dropped her bow while playing the last piece :P I would've laughed pretty hard but given the exam circumstances aahahaha yeah no.

$80 in hand, goodbye accompaniment :D and goodbye moneyflow...

My lol'age of the day came from one of my students attempting to draw mezzo staccato (WOOHOO FOR MAC PAINT!!)

Also have been watching Saw I and II all day...really wanting to finish II but I can't til class is over

xo
