I’ve never been friends with Sunday. I’m currently on a self-appointed “lunch break” – today is dedicated to study for Maths. See, on Thursday I have a maths exam. Not cool. Last day of term before 2 weeks holidays. Its also the day of my History exam too, which I’m yet to even study for. I’m just praying Jess can help me with that one.

Besides all that, yesterday I finally went to Broadway in the City. I actually love that mall, and practically was there every day last school holidays, and hadn’t been since them, so yeah. Its weird when you have a connection like that to a place, but whatever. Dillan was dragged/went with me & we saw Get Him To The Greek – not my usual kind of film (I’m not usually big on the whole Jonah Hill/Seth Rogen kind of film [even if Seth Rogen is kind of hot now that he's thin]) but it was alright. Good laughs. Crude laughs, but laughs none the less. I really got tired of the whole emotional sub-plot (spoiler! The lonely, depressed rock’n'roll star who has everything but loves no one is a really overdone and ridiculous plot. /spoiler), it usually annoys me a lot when a film which is basically comedy tries to also be deep and meaningful, its just out of place; I wanted Russel Brand to do something stupid, not try to teach me to respect fans or some shit. Whatever. Its not the worst film I’d seen, and it did make me laugh a lot, so its alright. Tom Felton looked so fit in it, and the surprise!Foxboro Hot Tubs was GREAT, so yeah.

Like always, the rest of the day was spent faffing about. I bought the new IdN magazine (International designers Network), which I won’t let myself read until after exams, but it looks SO GOOD. I think its going to be another magazine which I’ll start collecting; I get Computer Arts on subscription every month, buy Empire magazine every month too, I’m planning on buying No every release too – good thing it only comes out quarterly haha. So now I’ll have four magazines… I’m actually going to save up to buy an Empire subscription, cos I’ll save about 25% if I subscribe, so it ends up cheaper. Just gotta somehow find $45. I am so unbelievably poor now, I often don’t have enough change to eat. Its kind of ridiculous. But meh. Starving artist or some shit.

My mind has not been in the present lately. Its full of things I want to do in the holidays, things I want to achieve soon, even contemplating the past & things like that. This is really bad considering my pending exams. I’m actually not that stressed about maths cos I actually know a lot of the theory, I just gotta practise. And then I feel really guilty if I’m not practising linear functions, but looking up magazine subscriptions or thinking of new layouts or thinking of what I want to do over the holidays or whatever. I mean, you need balance and can’t always studystudystudy (contrary to my fathers beliefs), but I still feel like I should be, even if I know I’ll go insane if I do. These are going to be a tough couple of days, eh? Jesus…

I should go back to studying. I keep reminding myself that this time next week, I would’ve finished my exams, be relaxing and working (possibly) on this site, chilling to new tunes (again, something I’m depriving myself of until after exams) & cheerful. Well, I better be at any rate. All this stress better count for something.

Song: All In My Head – Good Shoes

Tra la la la la its Friday time! Which means I’ve watched Skins (Katies ep – which was amazing. Not as good as Cooks, though) and done my things & ready to blog about!

Well, this week, eh? The weekend & Monday was spent getting rid of the swelling on my face. Mum actually took me to the hospital, she was so worried about it. 3 hours in the waiting room & 5 with a doctor. Lovely how our health system works. But yeah, other than that I was fine. The swelling was gone by Monday, and most of the sun-damaged skin has peeled off/faded, which is important. Still, I’ve had to wear my fringe again (I cannot explain in human words how much I hate wearing it out. Its so damn annoying.) & heaps of sunscreen to prevent any more damage. I’m really not built to live in Australia, not with this climate & my lack of heat tolerance.

Other than that, my week has been extremely boring. Just school & homework & faffing about online – sites like Texts from Last Night & Not Always Right don’t really keep me busy, but when its no use starting up anything in PS, they serve as good time fillers. Actually, I don’t always like those kinds of sites, like FML & MLIA. ESPECIALLY not MLIA – it was alright when I first found it & that, but then it got popular. The popularity isn’t my problem, its the fact that all the stories are now all the same, and, more often than not, fake.

Ergh, I shouldn’t rant so much here, but really its a lot of what I think of. I’m really annoyed at my group at the moment; though I do say that a lot. What this time, then? Well, for the past week they’ve been organising to go to this U18’s club tonight, but naturally haven’t told us about it. I mean, I winged a little to Harriet when she accidental called me (thinking I was another Cassie), but she’s all “oh no, you’re invited, you’re part of this group, we want you there!” Yeah, likely, seeing as we were asked if we wanted to go, and we were told their plans for organising it. They probably expected us (Christine, Melanie & I) to say we didn’t want to go, but just presuming? Its rude. They’re ignorant.

Lets talk about something different. Oh yeah, remember when I mentioned a few blogs ago about a class studying Twilight? We’re going to have to, too. In English, we’re studying gothic literature, and we’ll be juxtaposing two texts. One of which is Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw, and, well, the second is the Twilight film. I’m kind of annoyed that Twilight is coming into our education system (where as Harry Potter is yet to be seen), but it could be worse. Our teacher hates the Twilight film/book/franchise, so its not like it’ll be glorified, and the film does have Jackson Rathbone in it (who I’ve fancied ever since his appearance in Criminal Minds), but still. The world is ending, I’m telling you.

Well, another issue of Computer Arts has arrived, so I’m going to return comments and read that. Fun!
