I think I may be getting sick. Blame Dillan. Swine.

I have my preliminary examinations starting in a week and a half. I am stressed more than anyone could actually anticipate. I guess cos they’re essentially yearlies (year 11 only goes for 3 terms, by October I’ll be in year 12), they’re SO overwhelming. But I’m working, I spent a lot of the weekend making notes (namely for art, English and Software Design) and stuff. I don’t know, right now I can’t bring myself to study. Mainly cos my feet absolutely kill and make me want to chop them off.

I haven’t really talked about this before, because its not really my place to, but a friend of mine (Naomi) has gone through a really stressful month, and, for family reasons, yesterday she moved to Spain (to live). I don’t really see her a lot anymore (after switching groups) but she’s still a good friend so on Friday, the night before she left, her friends organized a going away party for her, which I obviously attended. Dillan managed to come along this time too, which was really great. The night was nice, if not a little awkward. I mean, it wasn’t like a party because it was a farewell, but because Naomi’s friends are all so different, there was a lot of grouping off which didn’t leave good impressions, especially since Dillan & I couldn’t really find people to stick with. But I guess it was ok too because we both had incredibly bad headaches (well that’s the scale of mine at any rate). But other than that it was a really nice night to say goodbye to her, I can’t imagine starting a new life at 17 in another country (especially since she can’t speak Spanish). I’ll miss her.

I seriously hate me so much. Whenever it is exam time, I get the most creatively inspired. I can never get this inspired other times, and I have no way to channel this because I need to study. Ahhhh.

Anyway, big talk recently with Social. Yeah this time I’m just giving in and going, not trying to avoid it because I know in the end I won’t, and if I do I’ll regret it. Mum let me buy my dress online again, soon this beauty will be mine. Just need shoes (which is proving to be a problem because I find any heel under 3″ awkward, yet if I wore proper heels, I’ll be taller than Dillan. Dilemma.). Yeah, as you can see all the studying I need to do isn’t really getting done.

It has been so long since I’ve run out of things to blog about but this week seriously… I mean, its not for a lack of things going on, just, y’know how there are things you don’t want to mention online? Yeah, its all that. Although, amongst all the drama, I did discover a little hidden Asian grocery store (discover is the wrong word, cos I always knew it was there, just not what was in it haha) that sells this amazing blueberry flavoured iced tea. It actually makes my life complete. So yes. That is my cool story.

You know what, I’m just going to end this because I don’t feel like talking about anything else.

Actually, I don’t know if I ever mentioned but I’m going to Soundwave 2011! I don’t think any human can comprehend how excited that makes me, because motherfucking BAYSIDE are playing. Anyone who knows me will know they are my deadset favourite band. I’m going with my friend Jess (y’know, the one who lives 2 hours away) and her friends, and most probably Dillan. Its going to be so great, I’m so excited!

Ok NOW I don’t have anything to talk about.

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.
