Things are changing.

School is at this really odd place right now. You see, we’re finishing up the grade. In the middle of the second semester. Year 11 is like that. So right now we’re finishing up all our assessments/assignments (English speech went well, just need to re-proof my Geography report [2700 words on ethnic communities in my area... sounded a lot more fun before I actually started]), and then we have exams in like 5-6 weeks or something. Its actually been death but its weird to think that this grade will all be over in a matter of 7 weeks.

Its also different with friendship groups. Like, its no secret that the current people I sit with at school aren’t my closest friends. Other than Smell and Chris, I do not hang out with any of them, really. Its always been like that, but I think things are finally changing now. I was talking to Samantha all Friday lunch – Samantha and I have always known eachother, always been in eachothers classes, but only now have actually started talking outside of them and being friends – and then Maddie and Stacey came along and we all basically agreed; I’m going to start sitting with new people. Namely Stacey and Maddie and their group. Stacey and Maddie used to sit with the people I currently do, but couldn’t handle the drama of it all and made their own group. And they’re more than happy to put up with me so I’m going to be there now. Its actually the best feeling in the world because I’m so sick of sitting at lunch being bored to tears, or listening to other people talk about things they do without you. Its just like, stupid.

I guess it all ties in with snow week next week (keeping in mind that I’m Australian and its winter here so there is still snow in the mountains). Everything was all complicated with it cos of figuring out rooms, but I’m going to be with Smell (cos despite her being in the “old” group, she’s still nice), Maddie, Stacey, Stella and this new girl, Rosie (who most people seem to like but I don’t know like, at all, so we’ll see how that goes – she sits with the people I’m leaving, she’s all tight with them, but she’s also new so its like, eh). I also need to sort out packing things (went shopping for some stuff today, bought the COOLEST underwear and the COOLEST pitch black sheets. Thought you should know lmao) and actually mentally prepare myself for this. 6 days. Waking up at 5am on Sunday morning to be at school at 6:30 to leave will be hell. Not to mention that this trip is in conjunction with a boys highschool, so all the girls will be annoying and boy-crazy. Boy-crazy girls annoy the hell out of me. But I guess I’m just biased cos it isn’t Dillan’s school, lmao.

But other than that, what have I been up to? Not much, honestly. Saturday was another rather pleasant day, Dillan and I went to the city for a while (got irresponsible with magazines again, as you can see), and went back to his for a bit, chilling. Its actually weird for us cos this is the 2nd week in a row we haven’t seen a film (if you read my blog regularly you’ll know that we see A LOT of films). It’ll be fine though next week, cos Scott Pilgrim VS the World comes out. But yeah, its cool that while film-seeing is kind of our “thing”, we can still have a nice time not doing that. Yeah, I’m blabbering again, I know. I’m sorry.

Speaking of films, did a bit of site clean-up on Friday, and I’ve figured that cos I see so many films, that I ought archive all the films I do see & what I think about them. I don’t know, check it out here if you want. I’ve done all the films that have been released from this year and a few from late last year.

Also speaking of which, I have been meaning to change the layout here for AGES but cos everything has been so busy lately I haven’t had a chance. Hopefully with snow week next week this week will be quiet so I can have some time to do the things I want that aren’t homework. Well that, and go to the hairdresser. Fringe again. I know, every time I’ve had a fringe this year I’ve just grown it out and pinned it back, but my massive forehead is starting to scare me, so we’re going to rock it up, old Hayley Williams style.

You know what, I’m just going to make a to-do list. That’ll solve all my problems.
