and it begins

English teacher turns out to be PJU and he's......interesting.

Threatened to bash us up if we left the English exam room early. And awkwardly talked about blogs for half the lesson

Already have homework :( Gotta catch up on the holiday homework that I didn't know about because THE SCHOOL IS SLACK AND FORGETS EXCHANGE STUDENTS, and do an essay on conflict

Chem stresses me out already, Dr. J gave us his phone number to "text only" because calling him would be violating rules between male teacher and female students AHHAHAHAHA highlight of the lesson...I filtered out the rest of the stuff in class but I guess I have to do the 35 questions from the book......

uh oh

So it's time for Year 12 in 2 days D: So here's a list of what scares me:

• I'll never wear my regular school jumper EVER again since Year 12's have their own jumper
• I can't zone out in the Induction Service next week
• I'll NEVER be able to zone out in assembly anymore
• Assembly speeches every fortnight... (but funnily enough I'm not scared of the speeches at concerts...just assembly?)
• SACs and exams...pfft I'll be scared of that when the time comes haha
• I've become the person I used to look up to when I was in year 7.....a role model? aah...
• It's the last year ever... :(

But here's what I'm looking forward to:

• Um, it's gonna be the BEST YEAR EVER?
• HOUSE CHORALS, AUTUMN CONCERT, ANNUAL CONCERT & 120TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION, JAZZ SOIREE, SPEECH NIGHT
• Year 12 formal (screw the year 11's) and valedictory
• Lots...of...18ths...
• HOLIDAYS LOL
• A VERY crammed timetable cos I wanna join ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING this year (also wanna fill up all the room on my big ugly pocket
• It's the last year ever!

Hm so I guess it's about even :P Oh, and I got my blazer pocket done! (thanks Viv for blurring the stalkable information LOL)

nocturnal

I've discovered these holidays that I'm a night person...I'd rather NOT go and have brunch with my mates cos I'm not even awake, but having dinner at a relaxed cafe is the BEST! If only this was asiaaaa and shops were open til 10...and if only my parents weren't so oooold and could pick me up from people's houses at 3am :(

Sam&Tam's party was really fun, mostly cos everyone at school I care about was there :) so it was good to see them all, eat food and dip chips into the wrong dips (Viv). There was some guitar hero, extreme uno, foosball, a piano, loud music and dancing...Lisa and Amanda taught Erika and me their dance from NYSF (who knew they would dance at nerd camp?) and I'm pretty sure I was laughing the whole way through it.

Funniest part was when Min was convinced some guy had a 6 pack and was trying to get him to flash it at us, but then Eric came along and was like I HAVE A 6 PACK and got a texta and drew 6 rectangles on his body...under the belly button? HAHA.

Erika made an amazing gingerbread house for them and it tasted sooo goood! Viv's Ronaldo soccer jersey cake also tasted amazing but after diving it into about 30 slices, Eric said it looked like diarrhea with blood in it =_____________= and he HAD to say that when it was in my mouth...ahh :( So at the end of the night I had consumed WAY too much sugar and now my skin has suffered the consequences...I also took like 3 photos, so I'm relying on someone elses camera for photos of that amazing gingerbread houseee!

Bridge Rd with Steph and Susan today :) Went to Steph's place first and Chris had a WHOOOLE bunch of friends over...that kid has grown up wayyy too quickly! We left the house before all of them did, but ended up waiting at the tram stop for half an hour, and the rest of them caught up to us by the time the tram came. I didn't buy anything (because I'm broke and I'm leeching off mum) but had a good browse anyway...probs gonna go back to help Lisa look for formal dresses soon :)

We ended up in the city, took some photos at photoworld (it bothers me that there's 5...the OCD in me wants to fill that last gap argh)

aand a tribute to 2007

...and Susan bought some heels at Scooter. She had to go home because Ben and Andy were coming over, so Steph and I ate out at a cafe and bitched about school, music, guys, girls and all that gossipy stuff...we so didn't feel like going home afterwards but here I am full of pizza, avoiding homework and looking for sheet music from the TV/movie Madeline :) so far no success but we'll see...

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHEN SCHOOL STARTS??!

I still have 2 books to read, a film to watch, and some general psyching myself out...but I finished the chem holiday homework! one down....

I really don't know what to expect this year...I kinda thought I'd be chained to the desk these holidays but I'm still lacking the motivation I never had. Final year's meant to be all WHOA STUDY (for asians) but I am SO ready for the other stuff yknow? Celebrating achievements, 18th parties, concerts and stuff...I DUNNO I JUST WANT ALL THE WORK TO BE OVER but I don't want any of the other things to enddd :(

I also need ideas for MY 18th party...ahh!

(happy birthday Su-Yiin and Sam! SO pumped for Monday :D)

new blog layout!

So I spent the last hour finding a new layout (because I felt like it) and then realising this layout had a column that says "categories"

...and I NEVER use labels, so I just went through about 100 of my old blogs adding labels onto them and laughing at the things I typed. Until it got boring/tiring/painful/old/figured nobody would care except for the OCD part of me

SO from now on my blogposts are gonna have labels hahaha

xo

ps. ooh crap i just published this without labels...force of habit gee
