With my TEE University Application!!!
And...I now have one more university application to finish. -_-"
I am rather annoyed about this. I have so much to do, like learning how to complete my homework and study at the same time; write, photograph and edit the yearbook and graudation video; organise Leavers Week and; finish university applications at the same time.
All whilst attempting to assure the rest of the world that I am not yet dead, and indeed do enjoy socialising once in a while.
And okay, I realise I did ask for this, and no one forced me to be a part of the Yearbook Committee. But it's something that I've been dying to do since I started secondary school, and I am willing to add on to my already bursting amount of stress. But social events really should just learn to come in at the right time as well.
Like River Rock tomorrow night which I will be missing out on. Much as I would love to go, it is on a WEDNESDAY. A day which is normally busy as hell for me, seeing as it is in the middle of the week.
A lot of my friends are going. And many are annoyed at me for not going.
But I don't care. I don't have the transport or the time or, really, even the energy to force myself to care about any River Rock right now. Even IF dolphins followed the boat the last time. Even if this is possibly the last event all of us as Year 12s will share.
Sheesh, it's not even just us as Year 12s, we had to invite the Year 11s with us for some reason.
But, okay, moving on.
I received two TCK postcards in the past month. For those who aren't in the loop about this, it's a little experiment by the TCKid website. One person starts off the relay by buying a postcard and mailing it, and then the receiver mails it to someone else, who mails it to someone else. And it just keeps going.
Unfortunately, we're still in the early stages of this experiment, but I really do hope it picks up quickly after this. *ahem Brice*
I have yet to take photos of them, but I will get them up really soon. One from China and one from Canada. Finally Brice, it took you long enough it did. XD And it really was rather conspicious. I mean, who else would draw cats all over the envelope?
And as part of the programme, I promise that I will mail the relay postcard this Saturday.
So where will this postcard go to next? Only time will tell...
And, well, okay the address that I write on the envelope will too, I guess.

MIA
Which I have been for a while. Year 12 is no bed of roses, let me tell you.
With 5 weeks to go before mock exams, I can't really even begin to comprehend keeping up with anything. My head of year decided to have a River Rock in two weeks time. Which would have been all fine and well, even if I didn't go, I would have considered going. Except for the fact that it was on a Wednesday. Yes, Wednesday. Who puts things like these on a school day?? It's like having the Valentine's Dance in GIS on a Wednesday. Or having the Barn Dance at Saints on a Wednesday. Simply not done. And completely wrong timing too, especially for us poor souls doing six TEE subjects, who, really, would love nothing more than a break, but simply cannot go due to wrong timing on the organiser's part.
I am currently looking for scholarships to apply to and such. I mean, yes, I may not ever get the top TER in the school, and yes, perhaps my headmistress doesn't actually believe that I will be the person to best achieve my goals in university, but I guess it never hurts to try. =)
I have also finally finally [finally] FINALLY received my TISC application guide for university. I can FINALLY apply without trying to murder myself with worry over getting something wrong. Or at least I believe I can. Who knows, I may actually get something wrong, even WITH the TISC guide. Life is so weird.
With regards to Leaver's Week, I have been pleasantly surprised. My MOM is letting me go. I said it would be in Moore River, and even though she is rather unsure of where it is [don't look at the geography failure please] she is STILL willing to let me go! This is the biggest shock I've had since being told I was moving to Africa 3 years ago. I've moved out already, but the shock still remains. And, well, she's okay with it, with the exception that she is rather worried about me being driven there by P plate drivers. Casey, JB and Teo, much as the RAC believes that you are capable of driving the streets, unharmed, my parents still have their doubts. I forsee problems with this for when I get my Ls and licence next year. Or, well, at least attempt to.
I meet Elaine tomorrow!!! I can't wait, and I am tres excited. What can I say, even in the midst of exams, and whatnot. :P Of course, I sincerily hope that I will not get lost in the city.
I had four things due in today. I had a history essay [which I am almost certain I failed, due to the whole class being completely unsure of what to write about], a chemistry quiz [which I am absolutely certain I failed- I mean, Conto even FORGOT that we had a quiz today...], a P&L debate [which I never got to finish due to running out of time], and a maths test [which was so long, I only just finished in time as opposed to my ten minutes before the ending finish]. It is appaling, the conditions I am forced to work in really.
I am also rather surprised at the amount of people who visit my blog on a daily basis. Of course it may help that I actually add in labels and such so people google it and find it more easily [someone in Morley SHS googled Morley SHS and chanced upon this blog during english lit, which is a class I belong to. How embarrassing]. But quick message: if you read this, AND you know me, OR you think you find something worthwhile commenting on, please please do so? I like to hear other opinions, and views. It make life just that much more interesting. =)
More soon.

Leavers Week
Leavers week!
It's the one week that the whole of Australia prepares itself for all the graduates to pour out of the tiny door frame of legislation and never ending schoolwork which hold them back from adult responsibility and, of course, the real world.
Leavers week is well...essentially a week when Australia gets hit with parties EVERYWHERE, and places like Rottnest, and Mandurah and Margaret and Moores River are overloaded with Leavers from all over Perth. In Victoria, no doubt, I'm sure there are other more exciting places to go to, but in Perth, I guess these locations are pretty cool too. =)
Problem is: I don't know where half these places are. =/ Being a foreigner in a public school is not the most reccommended situation in any country.
Therefore, I have left it to my friends to decide, seeing as they actually do know what they're doing. Even JB has actually taken up some responsibility in trying to organise it by arguing with Teo over where to go, and what is more fun: kayaking with 3 foot sharks, or kayaking at the mouth where the river meets the sea. :P (at the moment, the sea meeting the river sounds a lot more appealing to me)
So far, THEY are arguing over: Moores River, Mandurah and Pemberton.
All I have to say is, so long as they let me know where it is, how we're going to get there and what there is to do there, I'll be fine.
Oh, and they'll have to convince my parents as well while they're at it.
Moores River is apparently not as crowded as most are, and there's loads to do there (so they say) and it's 45 minutes away (yayyy!).
Margaret River, (and I should know this) is reeeaally pretty, and I know this because UWA is right opposite Margaret River. :P
Mandurah is wayy down south, and I'm not entirely sure what there is to do there.
Pemberton is also all the way down south, and is apparently about 3 hours from where we are.
But well, any advice on where to go, what there is to do there and what it's like would be good to know. Especially if you've been there before. And if you know what the rates are like as well as any good beach houses, that would be such an extra added bonus because I'm not sure if I want to stay in a tent/caravan park with a bunch of strangers. When JB mentioned this to me, my eyes (inertly) began to pop out. Yes, I went for Trek, and yes, I went camping and hiking for a week- sleeping, not even in a tent, but next to the firplace! But! at least I was alone with my mates in the wilderness and here...goodness knows WHAT will happen to me here!
Anywho, thanks! =)
