i got VG for my lit. comparative as well!!!! [and it's jen at the beach!]

Step on a Crack & Break your Back

orientation day was today

the food tech 20 minutes was really motivating

well the teacher didn't do anything to make it motivating, but just thinking about all the things i could do got me all excited

i'm thinking of doing an english tea theme

and i've already got this little book for my folio

and then there was....

20 minutes for vcd

sounds annoying already

then

i had a gap for 3 sessions

but followed julia into her further maths session

was really just three men boasting about their accomplishments and trying to make their view points and teaching techniques known

so glad i'm not doing further next year

found Ms Price and got my comparative sac and exam back

got a VG for my exam, which means the two highest marks i've gotten this whole year are the marks i got for my mid year and end of year exams

i must do well in exam conditions

i also collected jinali's comparative

jinali always gets better then me, which i usually understand cos she lets me skim over hers and she makes good points

i read her comparative and i re-read mine and i reckon i did pretty well, i'm really proud of the last two analysis' i've done

after that i had the last session of the day, literature

sounds good

the creative sac in unit4 sounds like it's gonna be difficult and stressful

looking forward to reading some D.H Lawrence

anyway

got home

went out again to the grocery to buy some meat for dinner and shouted mum and brian to happy cup

then had a nap

woke up, felt rushed

so hurredly ironed some of mum's pants and waiter-uniforms

then got ready for the formal

finally finished and realised it was barely even 5:00

....meeting at melody's house at 6:30 -________-

so now i'm sitting her all pretty and made up...hoping my dress isn't wrinkling on the computer chair

wats great about this dress is that if it's wrinkled, you just hang it, and they all slowly dissappear

amazingly convenient

i think my shoes have stretched

their kinda big and slip off wen i walk

practiced walking around the house...

forshadowing embarrassment

definintely there

my older brother got this job he's been going for a while!

it's a government job in canberra, so he'll be going there for orientation in two weeks

which is around the time i'm going, so hoping for a kind of clash there

and then he'll be moving to canberra in february

very happy for him

damn, still not even 5:30....

i was going to write a blog entry

but then jinali started talking to me on msn

so now i'm all type-rambled out

oh well...

maybe tomorrow, if i haven't done anything new i can write about wats been happening the last week

Bookmarking

http://www.nikkifarquharson.com/

i would just bookmark this page but brian has this thing for repeatedly resetting the computer and all it's settings

so i will leave it here

it will be very safe

unlike the blogs/deviant arts

stencil pages

and download pages

that i have previously bookmarked

Poppy Pop Art

yes it is funny how as monica put it; my blog has become a gathering place for those who should be studying

i am majorly screwed

so badly, that there is not enough time to ramble about all the reasons why

just wanted to show something i found interesting:part of Andy Warhol's last cycle, 'The Last Supper (Dove)'

fact: andy warhol was an open gay, and a closet catholic

funny

quote!

'What's great about this country is that America started this tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coca Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca Cola, too. A coke is a coke and no amount of money can get you a better coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking, All the cokes are the same and all the cokes are good. Liz Taylore knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it. - Andy Warhol

btw, finally bought a dress for the formal today

which is part of why i'm screwed

had ONE day to study for my yr12 studio exam and for methods exam

and spent more than half of it out shopping and eating yum cha

the stupidity of me

'Like most intellectuals, he's intensely stupid'

i only wrote that last entry this morning

and already, comments!

must be exams

they push students to read random blogs

anyway

was supposed to study for exams today

spent like 2.5hrs studying at the library

methods

[although methods exam isn't till wednesday]

and left literature [tomorrow] and studio art [yr12 subject] till last

we will never learn

then spent the rest of the day watching movies ['chicago' and 'dangerous liaisons'], eating, getting stressed over stupid pimples and of course thinking of how i should be studying

but the movies just went for longer than expected...

anyway

got on to do that last minute studying for literature

we've gotta do two analytical pieces

one on three unknown passages from 1984

and one on a chosen passage from our chosen book [that we used in a previous comparative piece] which will be worth less marks

i am stressed because we only have 1.5hours for this

wen usually, for one piece we have from 2 to 4 periods [100min - 200min]

and now we have TWO pieces with even less time

and the stupid yr10s [my class] have an extra week to prepare

and since the majority of my class is yr10s, our teacher didn't start prepping us for the exam until the last day for yr11s

it's alright for jinali [my fellow yr11] since she doesn't really care and is focusing all her energy on studio art

but i'd LIKE to do well in all

tho i probably won't

since i'm only up to chapter 5 in methods

and haven't even looked at general standard

or vcd

and just skimmed through one booklet for studio today

i think it'd be better if we could type up our literature exam

or maybe not

and the other thing about the yr10s,

noeing them

they'll probably have the smaller part of the exam [the one with the known passage] all written up and memorised so that the only thing they'd have to worry about is the one on 1984

bugger their nerdy-ness

andd

i still don't know exactly which part of my book is my passage

since jinali hasn't replied

so i'm just going to assume

and get some notes done

even tho we're not allowed to bring any notes in

then i will read over my george orwell notes again

before i go to sleep

hopefully i don't sleep in tomorrow

for the formal

i'm thinking of buying a simple black dress that i saw at myer

very plain

but i don't know if i can be bothered looking any more

and maybe i can spice it up with some heels

i don't know if that works or not

uh oh...crick in neck......

also got a toothache again

not good conditions to be in 8hrs before the exam period

gotta...study

Nothing

had a dream;

mum took me looking for houses

we went to look at some japanese caravans

met basically all of the waiters that worked last night there

one of the waitresses had one of those things...fluffy tubes you stick your hands in...

one of the waiters was in a band

had an argument with brian about people dying at school

then somebody [a guy that brian occasionally played games with] died at school, i think it was an axe

went to aunty's house

she was selling clothes

found two things i liked

but couldn't reach

she made everyone try these very painful shoes on

i sat with people that were my friends

i think kirsten dunce was one of them

one of my very good friends, a lesbian, started kissing me

i kissed back but there was nothing, it was painfully empty

but then i acted flippantly like 'didn't feel anything, oh well'

she got upset

then some guys came and started teasing us for not appreciating all the cheap clothes

then i was talking to one of my guy friends [i have guy friends?]

when i was suddenly flicking through the dream as if on a dvd

there was a random music clip

a girl was singing, wearing a green wrappy thing [around waist] with white shorts underneath and there was that fake wind blowing into her hair and stuff

thats all i remember

i need to study for my literature exam [tomorrow] but i'm not sure which passage i'm doing, i've asked jinali who has it highlighted in her book but she hasn't replied

also need to study for my yr12 exam and methods. they're my top priorities

then there's maths standard and vcd

but i'm too tired from yesterday to do anything

i bought Sabrina on friday [audrey hepburn and Humphrey bogart]

haven't watched it yet

my aunty came in the morning to return these other dvds she'd borrowed, i was half awake in bed, she took Sabrina

didn't really want to lend it out till i'd had it for a while...

i hate shopping for something to wear to the formal

it's a pain
