Life goes on. And i present... The new layout! I wonder if that works. Yes it does; the underline is blue and the text is pink! Its like magic! haha =] Took a while. I wanted a drop-down thing for my Music & Lyrics but i couldn't figure it out, or be effed eventually. And i wanted 3 blog entries per page but i couldnt figure that out either. But i like it =] I'm so tired. So much to do. And its been like a shithouse week too because of the tree. People went away, my dress got sold, we couldnt get the limo and i nearly got booked by the police! long story... Nonetheless, its all slowly pulling together. I have my shoes, makeup and hair booked. I swear, after the amount of times we went to the shop, we had truely bonded with the shop owner Angela- She was so cool not to just kick us out! And after all that shit went down, we finally have a car! And all for what? Well im hoping i can put everything aside and just have a good time with my friends, i just want us all to come together and hang out and have fun! The formal is tomorrow night, it must be good! I will see you there! "When people leave us, we are ener certain of seeing them again..." We eat dinner together, we eat dinner by ourselves. We obsess over our formal dressses and the tiny details that make our lives whole. So often we forget about the people we are eating with or the people who are actially paying for our formal dress. We fight with them all the time, but we'd never want them to go away. It's been a while since we've spoken because of all the shit that happened but I cant help but feel remorseful for what you've lost. Harwood was right when she wrote that being near a cemetary makes you realise your mortality and that of those around you. Why must it happen? God has a reason for everything. I take this lesson as a valuable one for me to stop obsessing over the dress and rather the people i will be spending the evening with. And the people that i have in my life [despite their infuriating ways]. Its the people that are left behind that must suffer the consequences. My next layout is in Memory of You. RIP Freedom. "The Jacaranda is the HSC tree. The next time it blooms you'll be doing your HSC" -Ms D [bio teacher], end of 2006. It all began on the last day of high school, picnic day, and continued for another three weeks until the majority of HSC students gathered at the school on 19th October to write their first daunting exam; English Area of study. The nights before i really didnt want to do the HSC, i was just freaked out big time! But the exam wasnt too bad. We all rejoiced outside the hall [or gym as the case may be] and breathed a sigh of relief; our first exam done. Oh yeah, i had music that arvo too. I reckoned if i could get through that combo i could surely get though the rest [thats how i reassured myself. lol]. Then we looked ourselves in our rooms for a further two days as we worked our asses off for the Second paper, English Paper 2, writing all about dystopic universes, universality and the media's evilness. Then we closed out english books for the last time [well not for those of us who do english ext...] A whole week went by for me and i stressed about maths, bio and more maths the following monday. A whole week between it, it was bloody stressful. I had a major burnout on the saturday before the exam so i had to chill- it was pretty bad. Got in, did Maths which was really weird. Went back home and studied biology which was even weirder- it just didnt feel like a bio exam, and what was with the 7 mark Aquaculture?! Maths ext was the death. Not as bad as 2006 but still not enough time, and i was really in a daze by the time i got out of there. I spontaneously combusted on the thursday night as i realised i was totally screwed because maths ext is probably going to count... Went to school about 2 times after that to hand in practices essays for ext 1 which made the paper much easy that friday. It was thundering outside during the exam. lol. I relaxed for the rest of the friday knowing i had completed 7 exams and only had 1 left. Economics was yesterday and thats it. My HSC is over at last! i dont want to think about what UAI im going to get, cause its a scary thought. but know i think its time to look to the future because real life awaits! To do in the next few weeks:
And today i went to the city with Sujee. she got an interview!! and it went well =] And then we went looking for formal clothes and found none =[ i need to go shopping!! Have a good holiday guys! We truely deserve it. See you at the formal :D I finished my HSC today. Im FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Graduation and Picnic day; Girrah '07 Yesterday was the yr 12 graduation; our grade became the new Girraween High graduates. It was a melancholy day as i have mentioned on many occassions over the past week. It began with our grade signing each others autograph books [courtesy of our nice biology teacher] and our school shirts. We rehearsed [somewhat] for our music performance and the event began. Our principals address was rather interesting [love/hate relationship with core HW... etc. lol]. And we graduated one by one [how embarrassing were those school photo shots on the projectors?!]. Zenia had us all in tears! Then we lined up at the assembly area and the principal made us leave ["You have to walk now, Yr 12, Walk!" lol], it was rather symbolic! And melancholy! I wont forget the teachers either. They've been the greatest ever, what with Ian in maths, LOST discussion in english, new words always in ext1, kindness all round in bio, with her putting up with us in eco and we Lesley is music. And our year advisor and our yearbook organiser- they all rock! The year 12 graduation dinner was last night. The lady there was nasty. we waited for ever, i got peeved. I drank Iced Picnic day was today. It was fun of water and laughter and fun. We played games, listened to music, ate food [lots of food!] and hung out with each other for the last time. The ride back to school was somewhat quiter- and the hugs and goodbyes were memorable. [there was one thing with a certain someone that i didn't sort out, regretfully]. And as the emo sets in and i start missing my friends like crazy; i want you to know that i will never forget all the times that we've shared. And you better stay in touch or else!.. [These are shithouse quality pics cause the originals are to compress]
I'm going to miss our grade so very much. What i still find somewhat peculiar is that after two whole years with pretty much the same time table- we still didn't end up memorising it. lol. Last year when i watched the year 12's leave, i didn't imagine it would like this.. well maybe i did.. but.. I guess what im trying to say is that I love our grade. We made it through high school together. Three cheers for Girra '07!!!
Quotes: Khajal: Hey look I've gone emo. Eleanor: Gee Khajal, if im ever in need of a DNM you've always got a problem for me to solve. Pallavi: I've noticed you're very nostalgic lately.
The last day of school. Well i feel i must say something enlightening- with it being our last day of school and all. It was a long day but a fun one at that too. Ok, im talking like a happy-chap... Anyhow, it started with Maths first thing in the morning, we watched many of Ian's cool clips that were on his ipod and took many photos, it was quite a lovely start to the day. Then we had music, we practiced that wonderful song that you'll all be hearing tomoro =] I do miss Lesley- i wish you could be here. Anyway Dez and I became rebels and left. mwahaha! At least we can say we did something rebellious- yes all the way to Greystanes and back =] oh, and we talked about boys [&& their issues.. or our issues with them..] Then i missed half of recess and we went to bio. I swear we have the kindest biology teacher ever- she got us all an autograph book and a card =] And we spent the whole lesson signing each others- i love our bio class. Then we had maths again and we became emo and listened to emo music and took more photos and ate pizza, shouted by our lovely maths teacher, how nice of him =] Then we had lunch. I had an important meeting to call with my friends, it was a bit difficult for me to get them all together and to SHUT UP! [lol Harpreet!] But they came together and it all worked out. I gave them photos in frames, i was stressing last night cause i wasnt sure whether they'd like it and whether Holly dearest would be upset. But it all worked out and i got many hugs =] It was our last lunch time together as friends. I will miss them all. I am quite fond of them all. Then we had English with Kate, she seemed kinda quiet today. We gave her the prezzies and the girls came in with the "indian chief" things, and we all got them, cause Myer and Heather are awesome. And i think she really liked the bear that Mary bought. It was so sad- she has been the best teacher and she started teaching when we were in year 7- so its personal for her too. I'm gunna miss her. Then we had economics, well we didnt really. Ms D is away, so we all split up and crashed other peoples parties. I went to Chem it was fun. I'm kinda dissappointed that [so far] i have only chalked one wall!! Tomoro is graduation, and the dinner!! I can feel the nostalgia [emo] setting in. I'm gunna miss this. Take care. Love you all. Photos are all on my blog; http://0kk0.spaces.live.com/ If you can view it ;) A night to remember? Last night was the best/worst night ever!! I got ready, took a train to central all the while listening to Teddy Geiger and John Mayer. I had the vision of what everything was going to be like tonight- it was going to be perfect. And it wasnt looking to bad =] Until i got the Opera House and realised i forgot my TICKET!! I had put a reminder on my phone- bring camera, get concession card, and what do i do? i forget the most important thing! So i called Elle and Lyn hooked me up with a new one. *sighs* All good. So we went in and watched/ listened to the music- it was nice- long but nice. Kevin and I talked about Topless women- in books [its not what you think...lol] and Roy pretended to be getting raped- well that was after. I cant remember the names of the songs- or the composers :'( Then we went to get ice-cream! Yum. And we decided we didnt want to go home yet so we went to Macca's! Where my cone broke and shit went down. And we spoke about paedophiles, i still dont know what im going to do about that... but Lesley's coming back on Monday and she will solve all my problems!! right? Roy, Matt and I had a long DNM on the way home- he was so nice- nicer than usual, and Elle was so intuitive, they both were- they got it so right. They kinda looked after me and im very greatful. =] i swear there was alcohol in that ice cream. hmm. I dont think Dez is the bipolar one.. Well that was our last concert. it was the best. A damn near perfect evening... but those are always tainted, right? ;] "Thank you for not embarrassing yourself" -Elle.
Music HSC An HSC exam over!! This morning, 6 students gathered in room 29 and prepared themselves for what would prove to be a testing challenge. They warmed hastily and waited anxiously as they were each called into a room, there to face a ruthless judge and judgess. lmao. whatever. But yeah. we all warmed up. it was so nice to see Ms. W again. Mr R was cool and all but we missed her. The principal and deputy came to wish us good luck, which was nice. Matthew was up first, and i was on at 11:25. The performances could have been better but the viva's were way better then i expected. I sung Breakaway and Can i go now. I was so glad that it was over. I was followed by Richard, Alfred, Lourdes and Kevin. We had 2 judges instead of 3! anyway it wasn't so bad and everyone worked really hard so i'm sure it showed. That concert yesterday was a total suprise. i was in role call yesterday and i completely freaked out. Thanks for everyone who was so supportive! hmmm. that is all =] Aftermath The weeks after the trials have been slow but somewhat eventful. We've been getting lots of marks back. I havent decided if im happy with the way i went. I didn't do bad but i couldve done better. By my standards, i was lacking, especially if im looking at it as a whole- the overall mark. Nonetheless, Sujee, Swetha and I went to Western Sydney last last weekend and took lots of free photos and collected free music vouchers from Apple. Last weekend, Nithya, Sharmaine, Harpreety, Sujee and I took more free photos and collected more music vouchers. And we saw lots of people there. Tomorrow we shall repeat the process! Oh, my brothers school is having a spring fair for THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!! so anyone who lives near St. Anthony's can come by!
Today marks the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana's death. I think she was a really nice person and I hope she's happy, where ever she is.
Also. On Wednesday a statue was unveiled in Parliament Square, Britain. Near statues of Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln. Nelson Mandela! One of the most awesomest people ever! He is an inspiration for his struggles and determination. The photo looks a bit dodgy but still... He was there at the time. 89 years old and going strong.
I'm just going to try to work harder for the actual HSC and pull my marks up. And dream of the life after the HSC. Dont know if that vacation will happen, but i really want it to. Music HSC is next week. I should go chuck a hissy fit at someone this weekend. Well i have a few people in mind... lol. They think im incapable of being angry. I'll show them *rubs hands*. Take care everyone. Have a good weekend! Retail Therapy Well its back. The blog just cant stay away. lol. Trials are finally over! Its been the longest two weeks of the year, and its done much to my state of mind buts its over! Monday was Paper 1 English, it was the first paper, we all survived it. It wasn't as bad as i was expecting, it was good. Music that afternoon was a little different... screwed the Vivas, not to sure about the performances. meh. Tuesday was um... Maths? and it was do-able. Biology practical was just to easy to easy... way to easy so i think there was something going on there. Thursday was English Paper 2, tough! I think i may have misread the poetry question, and wtf was with the environment in BNW/BR?? And the turkey came up to me near the end of the exam... shit that was scary... yeah long story. Friday was Economics, 3 friggin hours! 2 essays which i totally took my time on. I think i was only just ready [and calm enough] for that, but im not sure i did as well as i would've liked it. Week 1 over!! The opera was on saturday! Barber of Seville?? that was cool =] It was good to take a break from the trials. Week 2 began with Maths ext on monday. Shit, screwed it up so badly! I think we all did. Tuesday morning i went to see Ms. P about ext 2, she was so nice, she said we really need to chill out after the exams. gosh. then we had the Music Aural. We got that over and done with. Got ready for english ext which was the next day. lol, Jaismine was so happy to get in there and do it. I was so freaked that Anil's ghost was going to be specified, it wasnt. But i went and wrote about it anyway, lmao. Good exam. A lot of people were really happy that it was ok cause it was the last exam for alot of people. Biology was the next day. It was long and claustrophic with teachers everywhere and i couldnt focus. It was just... long. End of Week 2! 10 exams over!! I had to hang out around english, the teachers were so soo nice helping me to contact the Point, and find my major work, and my mentor! lol. They were so nice! So we went out today. Half our grade was in Parra today. lol. So me, Sujee and Swetha hung out for a bit and shopped for formal clothes, wallets, bubble bath and sunny's. We had lunch, then hung out with Thadsha, Sudha, Nada, Rachel, Winnie, Pallavi, Sandhya and Swetha's friend Norline?? And we all went to Max Brenners!!! We ate chocolate pizza =] =] Yum! It was a good day. I really need it. I'll upload lots of pics and stuff later. I have to do ext2 this weekend >< Take care all! Chill out! We deserve it =]
