got all my year 12 books today

...I told myself I would be productive today, and so far I have almost finished arranging the cello part for chorals instrumental

PSHH "arranging"...more like copying out the bass line from the piano score HAHAHA

I HAVE to accomplish something pretty soon, or these holidays are gonna disappear before I know it :( and then comes the final year................................

Well so far I know I get to look forward to Susan's Christmas party! Yay for an all-day baking session :D I'm not so sure it's gonna be a successful outcome given my track-record with dessert baking, but here's what's on the menu

- Apple Sauce and Cranberry Gravy for the turkey (her mum's handling the turkey, thank god)

- Grilled Seafood Salad

- Chocolate Espresso Snowcaps and Upsidedown pear and gingerbread slice for dessert

something for everyone!

with Erika, Amanda, Min, Sam, Steph, Mike, Jackie, Min's nameless dog...

good times! 40 degrees isn't so bad when you're in the water...but it's pretty bad when sunscreen doesn't seem to work :(

crazy day :D

Mum jumped on me at 7am demanding to know if I got my SMS with VCE results...then my phone went off a second later

so proud, I got a 49!

Problem is, I feel like I'm not allowed to be proud because now nobody wants to tell me their result for subjects I don't even do. Is there some kinda study score etiquette that I'm not aware of?? It's not like they did badly, they just don't tell anyone at all =/ oops? I dont get it T___T

Met up with Corrinne and Bhavisha from my old school today :D I was gearing myself up for an awkward hangout but it was so fun and we just talked for 3 hours over Gloria Jeans and sushi...reminscing about the old days when vce didn't exist :) and wondering what the hell happened to x y and z etc...............

2nd host family

Ayano got swine flu so right now I7m with my 2nd girl called Misa :D Had a lot of fun with her these days, we went to a game centre, did some shopping and we:re going to Disneyland tomorrow! Her dad and little brother speak English fairly well so I'm feeling less language tired these days :)

But physically tired? Um hell yes...sleeping on a futon isn[t too comfortable, and theres a lot of walking around every day. PLUS they go to school on Saturday WHAT THE HELL!

Gotta go sleep, 5:30 start tomorrow -_}____^

FREAKIN KEYBOARD!!
