Drifting Thing – Polar Bear Club

I’ve slacked off a bit. I’m not sure which would be better; a regular blogging schedule, or just blogging whenever I feel my life is entertaining enough.

Lets see, my week. Assessments. I have a geography one tomorrow, as well. School’s pretty demanding, but its ok, final year. We had parent/teacher interview night last night, but luckily it went really well & my parents are proud of me, handling myself so well (especially after all the business that’s been of my life so far).

Last Thursday was also International Day. Basically, every year our school has a day of celebration for multiculturalism. There are heaps of food stalls and concerts (showcasing traditional international dances and stuff). Its happened every year since I’ve been at this school, so its a bit weird that its the last one. Mind, the fact that its the last one probably won’t sink in until this time next year.

My weekend was also alright; hung out with Dennis, Luke, Ashley & Matt on Friday night, playing pool. I can’t pay pool. Failed so, so much. But it was fun, really weird night. I was the only girl, and the only people I really knew were Dennis & Luke. But yeah, was cool. Saturday I went into the city with Melanie, Lilli, Samantha and Jenny to visit the art gallery (there are photos, but Samantha fails). Each year they have an exhibit called Art Express, which showcases the best pieces submitted into the HSC (final exams). Basically tried to get inspiration, but the standard wasn’t that good in my opinion. I doubt I’ll get into it, but hey we can hope.

So yeah, boring. 2 more weeks until holidays. Can’t goddamn wait.

Song – Band

This is so awkward. I had to end things with James. It all happened far too fast, and in the whirl of how crazy everything has been I thought it was what I wanted, but everything has caught up with me and I realised that I can’t do this yet. I’m not ready for another boyfriend. He was lovely, but it just wasn’t working. Its for the best, y’know?

But other than that cheerful subject, after a clearly stressful week, had another busy weekend! Friday night was Fletcher’s 18th. Fletcher is this legend of a kid, so I rather enjoyed the night. It was one of those great gatherings where most people get along (or at least no drama) and could just enjoy eachother’s company. Met a bunch of new people too so that was nice. AND got to see Jake again, he’s great.

Saturday night was Yasmin’s birthday dinner. It was her birthday on Tuesday, so Saturday we all went out for Thai – just the girls, so Maddie, Stacey, Yasmin, Loretta, Hayley and Stella. Had a bit of a repeat of the other night and went to Max Brenner again, amazing moment in which we all started singing her happy birthday, and everyone there joined in. I love it when that happens.

So yeah. I’m starting to wonder if I should tell Jamie Britain about my blog so the next series of Skins can be based off my life. This is insanity. (Speaking of Skins; FINALE?! I loved it. Franky is me).

Welcome Home, Son – Radical Face

Its been an intense week. Life has really picked up its pace lately and I have been having a bit of a stress trying to adjust to all this change. But we’re getting there.

The past week has been a mix of miss-matched meals (pancakes for dinner twice say whaaa), homework & studying, and general schooling life. My weeks are generally so uninteresting. Weekend was nice. Stella, Maddie & I went to the indie part of town, shopping and such. Bought two outfits pictured; that dress (very Alexa Chung), and a sheer navy shirt with a simple black shirt. Fairly decent. We then went and had tiramisu in the grave yard (being generally indie losers) and visiting magazine shops. Didn’t actually buy any this time; its a rarity.

Naturally, though, the highlight was the date I had with James (aka guy I met at Mardi Gras). We saw The Adjustment Bureau which was actually rather good. James was adamant that Emily Blunt’s character Elise was just like me. I will get around to reviewing that film, and some others, when I get a chance. But yeah, the date itself was nice and cute and such. Won’t go into too much detail, but I guess its “official” or whatever. I don’t know. I know its soon, so I’m definitely going to make this calm and not rush anything or make anything too serious too fast, but its nice. I like him.

Things are simple, y’know? I have good mates, a nice boyfriend, working on decent grades, I’m generally content. My A Day To Remember tickets arrived last week too so I’ll be seeing them in May! I have a very positive outlook right now, everything is working out.
