A Long Day

I went back to school this morning. I went to the Maths Office to return my exam folder and got a note to get my $10 back, while Stephen went to his form room to hand in a piece of work. I then went to look for Ms Perks to return the English book I borrowed, but could not find her. So I wrote her a note and had it put into her pigeon hole. Afterwards, I went to the Art Room to collect my visual art diary, then went to Beach Road Administration to get my $10.

We drove to the shops, to exchange a cookie jar that we bought from Priceline, because the seal had been broken. Stephen and I went to look at deodorant gift packs.

We then went to Princess Margaret Hospital, for Stephen to see a doctor about his eczema. We couldn't find parking, so Stephen and Mum got out of the car, while Dad and I went to look for a parking spot. We had to drive quite a long distance down Hay Street before we found one, then had to walk all the way back to the hospital. We were waiting there for over a hour and Dad had to go move the car, because the parking spot for only for another. While Stephen and I waited, we played 2 player snooker and pyramid on Stephen's phone. We finally were able to see the doctor. She was one that we hadn't seen before and she was very nice, though her favourite word must have been frustrated as she said it a lot. She even compared my skin to Stephen's. Dad finally came back from relocating the car (he had to ask a nurse where we were). Stephen was given a prescription for a variety of different creams. We went to the pharmacy located in the hospital, but then said it would be a 45 min wait before we got the creams.

Dad decided that we should go to lunch instead of waiting, so we went to The Pelican Sport Cafe. I have no idea what suburb it is in, but it is near the ocean and while you eat your meal, you can look over the water. The place was quite busy today. The water tasted like metal and the drinks were a rip off. Other than that, the meals were so delicious. I had cabonara, Dad had focaccia and Mum and Stephen had fish and chips.

We then had to drive aaaaaallll the way back to Princess Margaret Hospital. Mum got out of the car so we could find a parking spot. Mum caught up with the person who actual served us at the pharmacy, so they walked back together and got the creams quickly.

Off to Mirrabooka Library we went, so that I could return some of my books and pick up some of my reservations. While I did that, Stephen signed up for his own card.]

Afterwards, we went to the Ballajura Library, because Stephen had reserved some items. I ended signing up. I got out lots of CD's and The Sound of Music, which had the feature film disc missing.

At 6.20pm, we went back to school for my Presentation Night. Blair and Hadassah we in the car park so I talked to them for a while. Emily and Lauren came up to us, and I saw the program for the night. I came to school not knowing what award I was going to get and I ended up getting the Religion Award, for the second year in a row. I was so disappointed and annoyed. I ended up sitting next to Diem and we talked quite a bit... she also got the Religion Award as well as Discrete Mathematics award. The entertainment was OK (The Dance Team being the best item as always) and the night went pretty quick. Oh well, no more wearing the school uniform!

Wow...such a long day...

Reminded

When Dad called home today, he reminded me that I had to return my Applicable Exams back to school. A few ours later, Mrs Vivian called me to remind me to bring them back. How strange a day to be reminded...

Retail Therapy

My family and I went to Harbour Town today. Stephen needed new clothes and we were only going to go if both of us wanted to so we did.

I bought a dress from Valleygirl and a pair of black pants from AWOL.

We spent three hours there...

Dad and Stephen finished after a few hours and while Mum and I still shopped, they went to City West.

I got home and tried on my things again. Stephen also showed us what he bought; 4 shirts and denim three-quarter jeans.

Afterwards, I watched Bring It On.

Life of Crime, Books

Mum and I went shopping today.

We originally went to go get some library books I had reserved.

I bought a yellow top and two boob tubes.

I also bought a new purse, which nearly matched my red hand bag.

I couldn't believe how many people were going into Strandbags.

Mum and I got a blueberry muffin and juice for morning tea.

We then went to Suzanne Grae.

We spent so long in there, as Mum kept trying on different pieces of clothing, some of which I picked out and they suited her.

The ladies working in the shop we trying to remember where a certain piece of clothing was to be put in the store and even though it was first time there, I knew where it was supposed to go.

We then bought Chinese food for lunch.

We got to the library, where Mum got her own card (well a new one because her other one was too old) and I picked up my ten reserved items; CSI: and CSI: Miami books, James Bond books and two CSI: Season 4 DVD's.

I wandered around the library while Mum sat and read.

We ended up getting home and 2 o'clock only to realise that the security locking system on the DVD's hadn't been opened.

After dinner, Dad and I went back to the library, where the lady who had served me before recognised me, and opened the DVD's in two seconds.

Heat Wave

For the last year, I have been looking for the CSI: Miami books. Today when I went to the library, I found some. I originally went to go find Mermaids by Patty Dann (the book based on the movie Mermaids) but they didn't have it. I ended up getting out a CSI: and CSI:Miami book and a book that Mum wanted to get out. I signed up to get a library card as well.

After that, my family and I did some general shopping, including getting some digital photos put in.

I went home and I made some Potato and Leek soup, which I haven't made in such a long time, but with a different recipe. I had to blend it when it was cooked. I put it all in, put my hand over the cover and turned it on. The cover then came off and a little flew out. Mum then told me not to push on the lid because I am putting pressure on the motor. I told her we have to hold the cover. Mum turned it on and the cover flew off and soup went everywhere! It went all over Mum's clothes, the bench and the floor. Luckily for me, none got on me, but unfortunate for Mum, she burnt herself on the hot soup.

I started reading the CSI: Miami book called Heat Wave. The book is set before Speedle dies. The characters act exactly the same, way like on the show with Eric and Speedle joking around and Horatio acting like he usual does (the whole hands on hips, I'm in control gig) . What is strange though is that it is set when it is raining. It hardly ever rains on the show...

Just Another Day

Didn't do much today.

I woke up and watched some episodes of The Nanny on YouTube.

I read some more of Dateline, reading all of the dates on January and the starting of February which took me three hours to read. I read the book outside on a blanket on the lawn with my head in the shade and my legs in the sun. I was really nice.

A New Hobby, A New Read & A Horrible Restaurant

I have a new hobby now: origami. I used to do origami quite a bit when I was younger, but I have been looking on the Internet for some videos and copying them from there. I have mostly been making flowers, such as a lotus, but I tried to make an orchid but it didn't work. I have just been using computer paper to make them, which it too thick so I need to go find some proper origami paper to make it work better.

My graduation present was to choose any restaurant I wanted to go to for dinner. I chose to go to Muscats , a buffet at The Vines because I have been there was breakfast before and it was really good. Dinner was not. There was not a very large selection of foods for dinner and the hot meals were hard to get to because it had a very heavy cover on them and you could put it down anywhere or put your plate down to put food onto it. We had to go up in pairs so one of us could hold onto the cover while the other dished the food into their plate. The most disgusting thing was the flies. They were everywhere and going onto food. When my brother and I went up for dessert, there was a fly stuck on the cheesecake. It wasn't like this restaurant was cheap and it had very good service, such as the waiter pulling out the chairs for us to sit down and putting the napkins onto our laps. They just need something to cover the food from flies.

While we were driving to The Vines, I started reading a book that Dad bought from work called Dateline. It is basically an encyclopedia of events that happened on each day of the year. I was reading the chapter of the book about the origins of calendars. It is so interesting, because there are so many different calendars out there for the different religions and groups in the world, ruled by the moon or the sun. They have been changed so many times over such a long period of time, but much of it is very similar to the Gregorian calendar the majority of the world uses today.

The Shopping Trip

Blogger was down last night so I wasn't able to make a post...plus I was feeling sick.

Yesterday, a friend and I went shopping to Midland Gate. We took the train there, which was good. For the first time, I had to get my ticket checked. The guys had these little blue scanners which scanned our SmartCards. When we got there, we were so hungry so we went and got some donuts.

Our missions was to find summer dresses. We went into all the shops looking for some, but we didn't. My friend picked up some three quarter jeans, however, in Jay Jays which were this really nice colour. After we had finished, we didn't have the dresses we wanted, so we went back to the city to go to Harbour Town.

We had to take the Yellow Cat bus there. When we were near our stop, the bus was there. We tried to get across the road, but all these cars came along. The bus was even ten metres away from the bus stop and he had stopped at a red light and the driver would even lets us go on. That was very annoying.

I ended up finding a dress at Valleygirl. They were selling all their dresses for $10. I had picked up three and two of them didn't suit me, so I really hoped that the third would and it did. Unfortunately, my friend was unable to find a dress that suited her. :(

Human Biology - TEE Exam 4

Today was my last exam and I have to say that it was the easiest of the four. The paper was so short, that I could have left half an hour early, but I spend my time writing very thorough extended answers. Lots of people were leaving this exam early and I don't blame them.

Lauren drove Chantelle, Emily and I back to Emily's place to hang out. We snacked on chocolate and lollies while playing 13 and Jim Rummy and chatting about various things. Chantelle then left at about 2 or 3. I then taught Lauren and Emily how to play Euchre. After playing that, Lauren left and Emily and I sat around and chatted.

I got picked up at around 5 and Dad and I went to the shops. We ran into Kara, who works at the Bakery there.

A nice lazy day and NO MORE EXAMS AND SCHOOL!

Signing off.

The Unexpected Hot Day

Such a hot day today! Got to 37 or something. Our ducted air-conditioner is broken, so we had to use the old wall unit. I couldn't study for Human Biology properly because the heat was effecting my concentration, but I did quite a bit so I am happy.


I watched a bit of CSI: while eating my breakfast, Spiderman 2 during my lunch and a movie called Sabrina during my afternoon tea.

My drive to go becoming vegetarian is going very well. I actually want to go vegan, so I have cut out consuming milk as well. When I was feeding Missy the left-overs of the roast dinner, I felt this rush of guilt through me.

Signing off.

Mermaids

This morning I watched the movie mermaids. It is one of my favourite movies because it is so unusual. The movie is set in the 1950's in America. Charlotte Flax (Winona Ryder) is a 15 year old, very religious girl who wants to be a nun when she is older. She moves to her new town with her Mum, Rachel (Cher) and younger sister, Kate (Christine Ricci) and falls in love with the 26 year old Joe, the caretaker, who works at the convent (See how it is getting strange).

---SPOILERS AHEAD---








She kisses him (just kisses him) about half way through the movie, and she thinks that she has done a terrible sin and believes that she God has made her pregnant. As she can't tell her Mum she is 'pregnant', she runs away from home.
Later on in the movie, Charlotte gives Kate some alcohol, but then Kate goes on to drink some more without her knowing. She takes her sister to go see the bell tower near the lake where Joe is. Charlotte wants to go up, but Kate refuses, saying she will go and find some rocks (one of her hobbies). Charlotte and Joe make love in the bell tower while at the same time, without Charlotte realising, Kate has lost her balance will walking on rocks and fell into the lake. As Kate is drunk, even though she is a very good swimmer, she nearly drowns and dies.
Told you it was strange, but I love the storyline (yes, there is a lot more to it than about Charlotte's side of things. There is a lot about Rachel, because she is very strange too).

I did some study for Human Biology.

I then played some SA:MP.

Then I did some more study.

I watched CSI: while I ate my guilt free dinner.

That's about it!

Because I Care

Mum and I went down to the shops. We went to the ATM, and two guys were refilling it. A line had formed to use the teller machine and a lady came up and stood behind us. It appeared that she was in a hurry, because she was swearing and talking to herself, while giving the hint that she needed to go next, so Mum allowed her to go infront.

We were nearly late for my hair appointment. The hairdresser washed my hair and layered it. I haven't had a haircut since before the Ball, so when it was finished, I felt like a whole new person.

I have been doing a bit of html editing of my blog and added the banner. I have signed up for that pack. I watched a video of reasons why I should become and vegetarian, and what they were doing to the animals was gruesome. You and I are eating a product of that. For me, I am gradually changing to a vegetarian lifestyle and I love it. I don't feel so guilty anymore.

English - TEE Exam 3

Nothing really exciting happened for the English exam, other than in the viewing section, I thought I had to answer both questions without realising that there was an "or" separating them. I didn't know how to answer the second question, so I left it to the last thing I did. Lucky I did that or I wouldn't have seen the "or". So I just expanded my answer to question one. The rest of the exam was alright.

Yesterday I played the best game of SA:MP. For the first time, the guys were actually being nice to me. I was being shot by this guy and Xayal came along and helped me. I jumped onto his bike and drove around. I then fell off and he came back for me. I fell off again, but this time his friend (I can't remember his name so I will call him A) stopped and picked me up. They invited me to their gang and we drove around trying to kill people. We started to gang up on people, 3 vs 1, in particular this one guy, who started getting so ticked off and he started to call me bad names. This guy got to a stage where he made his own gang to try and kill us. It eventually worked.

I teleported to the ship and a guy from the other gang said, "Come on Emilia" (The ship is a safe spot) to try and come and kill me. I sent a message to my Xayal and A screaming HELP and they too teleported to the ship, where a giant shootout took place. I killed one of them but I had taken a beating, so I grabbed a bike and took off. The guy from the enemy gang then called me a n00b and shot me dead.

I respawned at the area near the water and this other guy came and started shooting at me. A turned up and tried to help me. We both got on a bike and started to drive off, but the guy knocked off A and left me on there. I wasn't going to let go, because this guy of course, didn't want me on the bike. So he tried to get me off. In the end, he backed the bike into the water and we both fell off. Xayal turned up and I screamed at him and A to go kill the guy. The guy is swimming in the water, me catching up behind him, with Xayal and A trying to shoot at him. He gets to dry land and a shootout begins. I climb out of the water and start shooting with the Deagle, when Xayal is shot dead. Then I'm shot dead. Then A is shot dead. All by this one guy! THE SHAME!!!

Overall, such a great game. I felt like I had a purpose and not just to be shot dead. I was part of team and we had such great fun, even though we got pwned that one time. The only thing I didn't like, was when they talked in French and I couldn't understand a word...

Applicable Mathematics - TEE Exam 2

I walked into the exam room and sat down at my spot and took out my pen. I didn't realise it, but after I few minutes I was holding that pen, so the supervisor came along and told me to put the pen down. It was like she couldn't trust me after that or something. She checked my notes and my statistical book twice and she kept walking past me to see what I was doing.

Not only was this making me edgy enough, but I think the person sitting in the row to the right of me was trying to cheat off me. The gap between our rows was smaller than the others so he would be able to read off my work easily. I was going back through the paper to find parts that I had missed and went to work on the left hand side of the page. As I am right-handed, I pushed the paper to the right so I could work on the left page. I had already done some work on the right page, and, I swear, in the corner of my eye, I could see him looking. So I pulled the page over to the left and put my elbow across it, writing on an angle I usually don't.

When I got out of the exam, I felt quite happy, even though I had missed out on two whole questions.

Today was the Melbourne Cup and Stephen picked the winning horse, Efficient; with it $14 something. Lucky bug.

A Quick Hello

I have been doing study for my Applicable Exam today for tomorrow. I have worked through one day and I've just started going through a second. I went and tried on my dresses today to see if they still fitted me. The dress from my year 11 River Cruise still fits me, but my black and white dress, the one I wore for John's birthday had to be readjusted again. I watched one whole episode of Days of our Lives, something I haven't done in quite a long time (I don't even really like the show) and went back to studying.

Well that's about it. I will be doing some more study after dinner and then watch my daily dose of Neighbours.

Talk about the exam tomorrow night, when I hope I will be more happy after it than the Chemistry one (I woke up today remembering a part of the exam and I am trying to remember if I did it or not (because I missed bits and pieces from the paper) and it is stressing me out!).

Deagle Distraction

Missy was walking around the garden, nose up in the air smelling something. She then pointed her paw towards the taller pencil pine tree and stood there looking up at it. She started to cry, like she was trying to tell us something. So I picked her up so she could get more height and she sniffed some more. We couldn't see anything so I put her down. A few more times after that she asked me to pick her up again so I did. After a few minutes, we walked back inside. Missy kept looking and sniffing up at that tree, but we still didn't see what she could.

I watched the movie Tea With Mussolini day, which starred Cher, Maggie Smith and Dame Judy Dench. It was such a good movie. It was about English and American people living in Italy in the time before World War II, but then Italy declared war on England and America got involved, so these these people were now the enemy and were moved out of their homes. I loved it!

I did some study for Applicable today but I felt very distracted because I could hear everybody in the house, because my room is not sound proof. Although I had these distractions, I learnt how to do certain questions that I didn't know how to do properly before. I will be able to study better tomorrow because the house will be nice and quiet with only Mum and I.

I played a bit of SA:MP today. There are people using shotguns and automatic weapons and I was killing them with a Deagle pistol. Yes I know they are very powerful, but in GTA it is different. I went up against guys with them as well and I still killed them. I have an alliance called MINUS and he helped me when I guy was trying to kill me by running me over with his car. There are some guys that don't respect the girls playing the game and just try to kill them because they think they can't play the game. Watch out...Emilia will, Emilia will, KILL YOU.

Chemistry - TEE Exam 1

I thought that after I did my Chemistry exam I would be happy, but I wasn't. I felt like I had done really bad in it, seeing as I couldn't do three out of five of the calculations. The multiple choice and short-answer were good, but I think they could have chosen a better extended answer. Once I had finished the exam, I felt so sick like I wanted to throw up.

It felt good to be home, eating my favourite soup, minestrone and playing GTA: San Andreas. I finally got the relationship between Carl and Helena up to 100% which unlocked the hideous rural outfit. I now have to start another relationship to unlock more clothes and other goodies.

I asked Dad to get me some small cheesecakes for me for my graduation gift. Dad went and bought one for each of the family, except for me, because I was allowed two. I got a passionfruit and a triple choc one. I ate the passionfruit one today and wasn't able to finish it as it was so filling.

Dad and I went to the shops. I went to go get some chocolate, which they didn't have any that I wanted and Dad went out and got The Day After Tomorrow for me from my free movie rental pass. Then we went to the supermarket and got some groceries. We went to school to pick Stephen, who took ages to get out, because he had been watching his teaching play in his band Fools Rush In for a one time exclusive show. After we picked him up, we went around to Emily's place to give her back her graphics calculator. I went back home and watched the the movie, forgetting all about the exam, until I started talking to Alyce about it.

Graduation

Yesterday was my year 12 graduation. The chapel was packed with people and there were a lot of people standing. We had to walk in and stand up near the alter. In our rehearsal, we were told not to talk as we walked in, but when we did, everyone in the chapel was talking. It was quite rude, in my eyes actually. I was standing right at the front of the altar, so I could really notice it.

The mass was quite boring, as usual. I was happy to get that out of the way, because afterwards was when we would be getting our certificates. Dr Curry made a speech, that I kept falling in and out of sleep of. Then Lauren and Dominic made a speech, which was actually interesting to listen to because it was funny. We then got our certificates and a pen.

Afterwards, we watched the movie that Joseph made while the band played our graduation song. The bass was put up WAY too high, so when Luke started playing, it scared and shook everyone. Then Adam and Matt's microphone wasn't working so we couldn't hear what they were signing.

I was so happy to walk out of the chapel. Everyone was there hugging each other. A few of my friends then walked back to the PA to drop off our gowns. Dad found me and walked me back to the chapel, where I met up with Babcia, Dziadzio, Nanna, Uncle Tim and the rest of my family and we took photos.

Today I have been studying for Chemistry. I went outside and studied today on a blanket on the lawn in the sun. It was nice. Missy was rolling on the 'blankie' next to me. Other than that, a pretty boring day.

A Friend In Need Is A Friend Indeed

Catherine called me today around 11:30am to ask if she could hang out at my place. She had been to school earlier that morning and she had left her keys at home, so she was locked out. I went with Missy and caught up with her near the bush. We walked back to my place, where we watched Spaceballs and ate chips and cracker biscuits. Her Mum called and said that she had come back home and hid the keys. For the first time, I heard Catherine speak her language. It was beautiful. After we watched the movie, Missy and I walked her up to the main street. Lucky Missy; two walks in one day.

After that I felt very distracted. I was going to do a lot of study today, but a friend in need is a friend in deed. I did some Applicable Mathematics study, as well as some Human Biology notes before dinner, but after that, I could not be bothered and just watched TV. Futurama had a very good episode on, where the Professor had created a parallel universe. Very interesting and funny!

You Only Get One Chance To Make A Good First Impression

Today I went to my Lisa and Ron's house for a barbecue lunch. We were greeted at the back door by their dogs Molly and Maurice. They are a very, very small breed of dog (I don't know what breed they are). They are so light and thin, you can pick them up with one hand. They are very shy dogs, but Molly liked the attention and Maurice would just quickly sniff you. I tried to pick him up and he squealed at me, which scared me. He didn't go near me after that.

They had a pool table, tennis table and dart board there, as well as an outdoor TV which was set to a music channel on Foxtel, which gave the get together a good feel. I only played one game of pool, in which I lost to Stephen by sinking the white ball after I had sunk the black. I really didn't feel like doing much because I was freezing cold, so I sat their shivering.

Mark brought over his girlfriend Angie to the get together. She is very friendly and took a special liking to Jamie and Marrissa, my two second cousins. What I didn't like was that she was always on the phone. She walked off to answer her phone twice while we were eating lunch. She also likes to hug people, as she gave hugs to my Uncle and Aunty, Mark's parents, went she arrived and when she left.

It was also Ricki's birthday and Lee came out with a surprise cake for her (her favourite apparently). It was so nice, I had two pieces. Lisa also brought out a whole lot of Trumpets. I was so tempted to have one, except I did want to be more cold than what I was.

Their Farewell

In the morning, we went to the Chapel to rehearse for our Graduation Mass. It was the most boring one and a half hour thing to do.

Afterwards, we had our Year 12 farewell assembly. No one from the rest of the school cares. They just sit there, arms crossed and just let the time pass by. I remember I was like that when I was in the years below. When you get to Year 12 and it actually means something, you just see these people forced to come and watch you walk in and out of the gym. I know when they get into Year 12, they are going to want the rest of the school to care. They won't.

The whole year went to Jetty's at Hillaries Boat Harbour to have lunch together. I haven't been there for years, but the food tasted so good. A lot of the people were very noisy and didn't know how to conduct themselves in a restaurant. Daniel put prawn heads onto his fingers (interesting look). They had my favourite cheesecake there (passionfruit), but I added some little chocolate buds onto it to make it different. Yum! Some fun awards were presented and all the Emily's got presented with an Emmy Award.

When the teachers left, Catherine, Chantelle, Emily, Martin and I went to do some window shopping. The others left Catherine and I behind because we spent so long admiring the items in Crystal Reflections. We then went into this dress shop which had some of the most beautiful dresses. I wish I went to that shop for my ball gown.

The family picked me up at around 3 so that we could take Stephen to Princess Margaret Hospital. We found out that he is allergic to nickle sulphate and wool alcohol.

Friday Night Download was such a good show! They had found some of the most funniest movies from the internet I have ever seen!

Updated Look

I went to school today to set up my artwork in the library. We put all of our jewellery into the glass cabinet which made it look so much better for some reason. I would have liked to see it the jewellery with the light one because my transparent beads would have looked so good.

I was supposed to go to my Human Biology seminar today, but I couldn't be bothered waiting another three hours before it was on. So I went home and ate Chinese food, then made my blog look the way it is. I love it. I had to get rid of all my widgets, so it took me a while to get them back on.

Even though it is not the greatest grade in the world (C), it is the best that I can do because maths is my weakest area. I just hope that I will be able to pass my TEE and with great study, I should.

I had my Aunty and my Nanna come over today so that they could see the photos from their Esperance/Kalgoorlie holiday. Some of the pictures were so beautiful and they were taken with our camera!

After they left, my uncle, cousin, his girlfriend and their baby Joshua came over, so that they could do their tax returns on the internet and Dad could help them. Joshua had a keen interest in Missy and loved looking at her.

I just finished watching the James Bond film The World is Not Enough. It is one of my favourites next to GoldenEye. I love it how women are becoming more involved in the movie; not for their sex appeal but for their intelligence.

Banned

SA:MP = San Andreas Multiplayer
Stephen got our IP address banned. He used a rocket launcher from a minigame to kill people which is (apparently) against the rules. So we are banned for two days, even though I did nothing.

Didn't do that much today. Played some SA:MP before Stephen got us banned, watched some CSI :Miami and cleaned my room...

How interesting...

Seminar

So I had my Chemistry seminar today. It was during period three and four, but I had to go to school at nine because Stephen had to go to Princess Margaret Hospital to get his allergy patch test done. I went in the library and did an Applicable Mathematics exam, which I got half of it done in a distracted two hours. Nathan also showed up and he worked on Physical Science.

At the seminar, Mr C went through and asked if anyone had any problems. He also gave us all the solutions which was really good. We finished quite early. We took Kristina home, then we got Chooks.

I played a bit of SA:MP which was quite cool. For some reason, guys have this idea in their heads they can kill girls quite easily. I did the opposite. I pwned him. This guy then killed me and I was given a few opinions to punish him for an unfair murder. I decided to take his money. All $29000 of it.

Rigged & Pwned

National Bingo Night is rigged.
There is such a slim chance that you are going to win. The show was recorded weeks ago. THEN they put the games cards you can win onto the net. They have already selected which cards are going to win. There is no real lucky and chance. Besides, the show is so boring and dragged out. Also, how come we don't see (properly) the ball coming out of the sphere. It goes behind where the girl is standing like there is something to hide. The show is going to fail and I hope it does.

John Howard gets pwned by Kevin Rudd
The Great Debate was on today. On the 60 Minutes version, they show this graph and when they talk, the arrow goes up and down. Obviously, the people didn't like what John Howard was saying because his arrow was mostly in the negative section whilst Kevin Rudd had his at the top of the positive section. I hope you become our new Prime Minister Mr Rudd. Howard should go.

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader
must also be rigged. Seriously, there are some questions that a 5th grader would not know. They must be allowed to study or be given the answers. If not that, why isn't that the answers of the children not shown all the time. They must be getting questions wrong. Rove also said that the questions don't necessarily get harder. They do. Why do people leave the 1st grade questions until last? When they get to them, they are hard. I guess getting the upper grades questions out of the way first would mean an easier shot at winning. Imagine what would happen if these questions were left until last. If the questions do get harder and they choose a harder grade, people will fail.

Bloons!

I added a game to my blog and it is very addictive.
It is called Bloons and you have to pop balloons.
There are many levels but it is great fun.

I'm sick of all the inappropriate adult sites on Blogger. You just click next on the navigator bar at the top of the page and an adult page comes up.

This isn't right. I didn't think it was so easy to get to a adult site when your not even looking for one.

Blogger, stop powering these inappropriate sites!

Fun and Games

Ok. So everybody has been asking me when I am going to be putting up a new post. Here it is. I really haven't felt like writing for a while but I have noticed that people have been coming back to check if I have. Thankyou!

Now for the show.

Two days ago, something happened to the computer that I thought couldn't happen.

The start button on the task bar was missing.

Missing!

If you press the start key on the keyboard, the start menu does not come up.

Basically, anything on the taskbar has the potential to disappear.

So I search Google to try and find a solution. I was told to try the System File Checker to repair windows and to replace corrupted files. It worked.

Happened to you?

Press start+r on the keyboard

Type in SFC /scannow

You will need to have your Windows disk ready incase it has to replace some files.

After it has finished, restart your computer.

Done!

What else...

I am obsessed with Mahjong. I have been playing a version on the internet which is very good.

http://www.by-art.com/mjong/mjong.php

I saw some advertisements underneath the game for a downloadable version called

Mahjong Escape - Ancient Japan

It is such a good game. You go up levels, each one being more difficult and with more tiles. The layouts are different each time too. I'm not even half-way through the game and the time to clear the board takes so long.

This game is not for the impatient.

Moving on...

My family and I played Scrabble last night. Dad won both games.

Highlights

Stephen put down the word AQUA and I built on to form AQUATIC.

I then said to Stephen, "It's a shame you didn't have an A, Q, U, T, I, C and S. You could have got 50 points."

Mum said, "There's no such thing as AQUATICS."

It was Dad's turn after mine and he put on a S at the end of AQUATIC. We checked in the dictionary and it was right. There was such thing. It means water sports. So Dad got a high score from Stephen and I. From then on, I shut my mouth.

Dad put the word DUNK on the Triple Word Score tile going downwards. On my turn, I built onto it to form DUNKABLE which hit the Triple Word Score underneath the first. It wasn't in our dictionary, so I ran to the computer and it was on the dictionary on the net. I got such a great score. YAY.

That's all I can think of for now.

First Exam

Today was my first exam - Chemistry. Everyone was makingme nervous because they kept on going on about how nervous they were. I felt very pressed for time because I didn't get to finish all of the paper. At pens down, I was shaking so much that I had to use two hands to take a drink from my water bottle. I got home and have been playing SA:MP for quite awhile, a mod to GTA San Andreas.

Protection by Massive Attack

This girl I know needs some shelter

She don't believe anyone can help her

She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage

But you don't want to get involved

You tell her she can manage

And you can't change the way she feels

But you could put your arms around her

I know you want to live yourself

But could you forgive yourself

If you left her

Just the way you found her

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

You're a boy and i'm a girl

But you know you can lean on me

And I don't have no fear

I'll take on any man here

Who says that's not the way it should be

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

She's a girl and you're a boy

Sometimes you look so small, look so small

You've got a baby of your own

When your baby's grown

She'll be the one

To catch you when you fall

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

You're a girl and I'm a boy (x4)

Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter

Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter

And I've leaned on you for years

Now you can lean on me

And that's more than love

That's the way it should be

Now I can't change the way you think

But I can put my arms around you

That's just part of the deal

That's the way I feel

I put my arms around you

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

AFL Grand Final

Today was the AFL Grand Final and we had a party at Uncle Rodney's house. He has a projector, so we were able to watch the game on the big screen. The game of Geelong verses Port Adelaide was so boring because it was a one-sided game. Geelong 24.19 (163) def. Port Adelaide 6.8 (44). Melanie won the betting. I met my new second cousin today, Joshua, son of David. He is very cute and he didn't cry very much. I played pool and only won one game. Stephen beat quite a few people. Stephen and I played darts (around the board). We got to the green section then Stephen gave up because he had already got a bullseye. We stayed for dinner and had burgers. We didn't get home to around 7 and Missy was so hungry! I watched Pretty Woman ten minutes ago, which I hadn't watched for awhile. Overall, it was a good day.

...

I had such a bad night's sleep last night. I must have had a fever, because I was freezing cold. My stomach was aching. I felt really sick. I tossed and turned.

Today was the last day of school forever and I felt so alone. Everybody was talking with everybody else, signing people's shirts and books, whereas I had put myself to the side, feeling sick. People were taking photos with every person they could find and I felt like an outcast. Not many people wanted photos with me. I felt like I had to ask them to take my photo. I was in such a bad mood with how sick I was feeling and how tired I was because of it.

The six of us Chemistry girls had organised to have a private party. It didn't turn out to be one. Everyone else who was in the lab area came into OUR room to steal OUR food. People have been having parties and we weren't allowed to come to them. How come they were given right to come and steal our food? They kept coming back. I felt like I could scream at them. A few times we told them to leave and they still came back. I was so upset because I wanted to have a few hours with my Chemistry friends. I was so quiet. When everybody had left, which was five minutes to the bell, I exploded. I started talking loudly and banging the tables in such frustration.

I have to go to my brother's football trophy presentation night. He finally got his 50 game medallion which he should have got two years ago. The whole thing went to long and we left half way through. I said to my parents that our school presentation are quicker then theirs, plus we have "entertainment". The thing I found strange, is that a football club that endorses fitness and health provided Chooks for everyone. It was so boring that I was nearly falling asleep.

Why is everybody stuck one way? What is up with everyone sticking with their boyfriends all the time? Pushing your friends away is the most horrible thing you can do, because when you need someone to talk to other than your boyfriend, you will have no one.

I FEEL SO ALONE.

Boring present. Hopeful future.

Today was boring.

We got the cover sheets for the TEE/WACE exams.

I finished my art folio and did the evaluation questions. We took photos in Applicable as it was our last class ever.

My friends and I played Jim Rummy and 13 at lunch.

I got my results back for my Human Biology test and lab exams.

I went home and watched Judge Judy. I got on the computer.

I'm writing this blog.

I'm tired.

I can't wait until tomorrow.

No more classes ever again.

I will be able to get a good night's sleep.

I will have to worry about exams now.

I will have a party.

We can celebrate.

We have gotten so far.

We are near the end.

Mercy Day 2007

The names of the people in the photos below have not been included to protect their privacy. Please don't ask who they are.

Today was Mercy Day at my school. It is a day to celebrate the Sisters of Mercy and their leader Catherine McAuley who founded our school 50 years ago.

The day started off with a traditional whole school mass.

Afterwards, we went back to our form rooms. I visited the Augustine form room to have a game of cards with my friends.

Then, we had our Mercy Day fair. Everybody runs stalls. This years stalls were quite disappointing as there wasn't much to do. We got our food and visited where they were playing Halo 3 because Jayden was hanging out there. My friends and I went into the Gymnasium to play cards to get rid of boredness we were feeling.

Playing, what Khue called Jimmy Mummy (actually called Jim Rummy)

The Tongue Phenomenon

I did face-painting at ten past twelve. So many people wanted their face painted that I'm sure we made a alot of money. The first thing I painted was a butterfly. It was so hard to try and paint something upright when I'm used to painting something flat and horizontal. I also painted hearts and did quite a few worded requests.

They were selling the large lollipops that they had last year for 50c but they sold out before I could get some. I started haggling with people so I could buy it off them. I offered Martin $2 but he said no. He wanted $4 for it. Janna, who I had asked previously, took my up on my $3 offer and Martin was disappointed that he didn't end up making a profit.

After the fair, we had Mercy Idol, which was nothing compared to last year. They had no real singing acts this year, just a lot of dancing, hip-hop and rap. I stood up on the sides of the Gym so I could see. I don't think it was really worth it. The acts were only good for two minutes, then they got so repetitive.

Overall, Mercy Day wasn't a good as it was last year. As seeing as it was my last one as a student of Mercy, that made the day disappointing. Nether the less, I will be back next year with a group of people to show up unexpectantly.

Crowded

Not much to report on today.

The Human Biology test was so hard, that I didn't get to finish it. Some of the questions didn't have answers which we could have studied in our books.

I got my English essay that I did yesterday back and I got a 6H (80%). I thought I did bad. I said that when I did my Ten Canoes essay and I got a 7F.

At lunch I taught Martin how to play Jim Rummy. Everybody is addicted to that game now.

The bus came late after school, so it was packed with JSR students. When the bus came to my stop, it nearly drove off without me getting off because I was trying to get off, but there were people standing in the aisles because it was packed and the fact that I was holding my giant Art folio didn't help me to try and get off this crowded bus.

Signing off.

Salad Mix

I had my last Chemistry test today. I used a lot of my calculator notes to help me with the test, but overall, I think I did quite good.

In Art, we came up with designs to create our silver clay pendant. I used some paper clay and some designs from my folio to create an idea. If it looked any good, I drew it on my design sheet.

Emily asked me to help her put up the advertisements for our face painting stall for Mercy Day all around the school. I think I got a bit carried away with the sticky tape as i used quite a bit. We walked around the MLC and SLC area, to the gym and to the JLC area. When we finished, we walked back to religion, where we watched The Lion King.

In English, I had my last in-class essay (I won't be missing them!) and it wasn't very easy. I only wrote two pages and two lines of the third which is least amount I have written all year. It was so hard! I felt that I ran out of time because I still had so much to say.

I really felt like helping making dinner tonight for some reason, so I made a salad. I used a lettuce mix, tomatoes, carrots, cucumber, mushrooms, cheese and Italian dressing. It was nice and colourful, plus it tasted great too.

My Love

Today I went to John's house. Stephen demanded that I play Counter-Strike with him. We played de_dust_castle and de_co2dust. John and I pwned him. It lagged quite a few times and I still pwned him. We went to church and we saw Mr C there. John dragged me over to say hello to him, like I don't already say hi in Chemistry. Mr C didn't know that we were a couple, though he did see us at the Ball together, he didn't put two and two together. It is so interesting seeing teachers out of school. It is like they are different people...

Simple Memories

Went to Wanneroo Markets.

Did some blog browsing.

Introduced John to Habbo Hotel.

Gave Missy a bath.

Studied for my Chemistry test which will be on Monday.

Ate multicoloured prawn crackers.

Appreciation

All I did in Chemistry today was talk. The Covalent Angels all sat in a circle and formed out own little world. We joked about Chantelle's unusual laugh and Kelsey & Kristina sang and danced to the Spider-Pig song.

We had a year 12 assembly and I received three awards: one for English, one for being in EcoLeaders and a special award that a few other year 12 received for being a quiet achiever and for those who aren't recognised as much as others are. I was expecting an English award put not that one! Catherine sang her rendition of Ronan Keating's "When You Say Nothing At All" which was really nice. We also heard our Graduation Song, which is a song by Blink 182, but the lyrics have been changed. It was rocking!

Lauren, Diem, Chantelle and I went and saw Ms B during our two free periods. I thanked her for the special award, then we went to the computer room. Lauren and I went through all the slips for valediction mass and Hillary's lunch, while Diem and Chantelle starting making cards for all the staff in the school. We played 13 and Uno and it was just a great time together, talking about important and not so important stuff.

Preferences

Hello there.

Mr Godfrey called the Human Biology Lab Exam on Monday and we had to due it the next day. It wasn't very fair because we weren't given enough time for us to study and Mr Willshire's class gets to do it next week Tuesday. I had my Applicable Test on that day as well, so I didn't get to study as much as I would have liked for the exam and that study would have been really helpful.

I put in my preferences for university yesterday. I chose Pharmacy (Curtin), Chemistry and Computer Science (Curtin), Chemistry (Curtin), Chemistry (Murdoch), Psychology (Curtin) and Psychology (Murdoch). I have been researching about Pharmacy for years and the day that I am putting my preferences, I find out that I will need to get a Hepatitis B vaccination and a Police Clearance if I get into Pharmacy or Chemistry. After I had put in my preferences, I felt so nervous for some reason (I think it's because I don't want to have that vaccination!)

Seeing as lots of people are going to the ACC tomorrow, my Chemistry test and English essay have been moved to Monday. Joy. I was getting ready to do them for tomorrow! It should be a nice, relaxing day tomorrow anyway with an SLC assembly, two free period and no tests. What more can I ask for a Friday?

Lost and Lonely

So I haven't done much today. Seeing as I was in a bad mood, who could blame me? Uncle Rodney came over to do his take returns on the internet and Dad helped him. Then we talked for a while. At 12:30, Stephen went over to Luke's house to see his new, amazing computer, with 4GB RAM, 1 TB hard disk, quad core processor. He still isn't home but must be soon (oh look, the doorbell just rang). I played Counter-Strike with John and we could play CS:CZ so we play CS:NS instead and I pretended to be a guy called Simon - King George from Arabia for no real reason. Then I got upset again. I read some random blogs. I ate peanut butter off a spoon. I have listened to music all day. I played Habbo Hotel and Flip Words. And now I have to get off because I have been been on the computer for too long.

Thank You

Firstly, I would like to thank everybody that has been visiting and reading the entries on my blog. It is funny to think that since I began this blog nearly a month ago that I have nearly had 150 page views. I wasn't expecting so many! When I look at the map on SiteMeter, the map is full of visits from every corner of the globe. I haven't been getting as many comments as I would like to though (I know my friends are leaving me some), and it would be really nice to see the comments rolling in.

I haven't been doing very much today. I watched the Leonardo DiCaprio version of Romeo and Juliet, after hearing the people next door to my English class watching it. Stephen was getting frustrated with the Old English being put into a modernised movie (they changed the story so it was set in the present and they used gun instead of swords, like it is seen in the traditional play, but kept the Old English). He saw cars and gun fights and he asked me, "Are you sure this is Romeo and Juliet?"

I cleaned up my room to make it ready for my TEE study and organised everything. I realised that I had left my Applicable study book at school, so I did Human Biology study instead. I created a test on Tickle; How well do you know Emily? Several people have taken it so far, John having the highest score. You can take the test here.

Spectacular

Without any tests to worry about, she had the best day that she had had all week. Her dad decided to have a day off work, so she was driven to school, instead of the normal bus ride she has to take.

Her first lesson was a Chemistry laboratory. For the first time all year, she worked with Diem instead of working with her normal partner, Lauren, which was a nice change. The experiment involved mixing different substances together and watching them turn amazing colours, from a colourless solution to one that was bright blue, yellow to deep red or heating some of them to see them turn a bright pastel green. She tried to put some iron (III) chloride solid into a test tube but it all felt on the gauze mat that they had set on the bench. She tried again and the same thing happened. In the end, they noticed the test tube had a big hole in the bottom of it and they had a large pile of iron chloride to clean up.

After Human Biology, her year group had to walk down to the chapel to go to a mass. The mass was celebrating Catholic Education in Western Australia. Today, the mass was started off differently to how it usual does. A bowl of water was blessed, a candle was lit and salt was added to the water. The priest then went around the congregation and using a piece of branch, put it into the water and flicked it on them. When the priest came around to her side, a large water droplet hit her right in the middle of the forehead. She didn't wipe it off, but as she concentrated on the water droplet, she felt like the skin underneath it began to pulsate. As it began to evaporate, the feeling disappeared until she thought nothing of it.

Her two free periods actually involved work today. She had left the essay she had to write for English until these periods because she really couldn't be bothered after she had gone out to hand in her phone yesterday to get it fixed. She spent an hour on it and at the same time she listened to her iPod which helped to block out the people who talking around her. Afterwards, she played a few games of Jim Rummy with Diem, Chantelle joining in a short time later. She was impressed at how well Diem was playing, seeing as she got a very high score of 175 points. In the last fifteen minutes, they played 13 just before going off to lunch.

The highlight of her day came from her English lesson. The class received their essays they had done on Ten Canoes back and Ms perks told her class that she and Mina had received the highest marks in the class. From this comment, she had though that she would have got a level 6, but when the teacher handed it back to her, she was in shock. She had received a level 7F, which equates to 83%, a very hard mark mark to get and very few people have received a mark like it. Mina had received a level 7M, which is around 86%. She hadn't cared that Mina had got a better mark than her, she cared more that she had beaten her personal best...

Connections With The Past

From what I had thought, today it had been confirmed. I had just seen his picture in the newspaper as part of the Ball photos two weeks ago. I hadn't seen him since I had left primary school and then a few days later I noticed that he caught the bus with him. I didn't even realise it was him when I went to sit in front of him until I got off the bus.

Today, I got off the bus to see him in front me and I smiled. Today, he had happened to be wearing his Leavers jacket and on the back it said Tungy. I walked a bit faster across the road to catch up to him. He is such a slow walker, so I had to slow down my normal pace to keep in time with him. I was able to see what was written on his backpack. It said Tungiee (love heart) bby_Jenny. Above it it said Emo. In the bottom right hand corner there was a hand, and it said how to cut you wrist in the right way. It had an exclamation mark at the end of it, so I guessed that he, or who ever had written it on the bag wrote it as a joke.

I really wanted to say hi to him but I just couldn't do it. He was wearing headphones as was I and I continued to walk slowly behind him. I tried to bring myself to say hi so many times. He slowed down to change the song he was listening to and I gave up. I quickly overtook him and I wondered what he would be thinking and I smiled to myself. I walked past his house and he disappeared inside. For the time I have been living here, I have never known that he lived there. One day I will say hello. We didn't really talk to each other in primary school, it would just be nice to know how how he is going and what he has been up to.

My phone died yesterday for the second time. It wouldn't turn on, even though it is fully charged. So Dad and I went to Allphones to go and get it serviced. The guy that served me was quite parculiar but quite friendly. What I didn't like was that he spoke mostly to my Dad instead of me. Dad said later that he noticed that too. He came across at times that he didn't know what he was doing or he didn't know the right thing to say, like he was under pressure or something. Overall, the service was good and he gave a funny expression across when he said that my phone was in great condition and he remarked that the only thing that was wrong with it was that it had fingerprints on it...

I haven't been writing posts for the last couple of days because I have been so busy with tests and studying. The Chemistry test I had today was not easy. The next test I will be doing will be on Tuesday - Applicable Mathematics. A nice break for a few days...

I Love Jonathan Togo

I got to Chemistry this morning, panicking. Mr C had forgotten to put up the answers to the Chemistry assignment up on the web page and I was only hoping that it would get moved to tomorrow. When I walked in the door, everyone was huddled around the answers and Mr C apologised for not replying to the email I sent him as he only looked at them this morning. A few copies of the answers were handed out and people grouped around writing and trying to remember the answers for the validation. The class then asked if we could have the test tomorrow, seeing as we have finished the whole Chemistry course and we would be revising anyway. He agreed. To add onto my stress levels, the Organic Chemistry test is on Thursday, Friday being the only day with nothing on.

In art, I began to make the beaded necklace I designed. I have completed half of it, but it is going to be a little bit short. It took quite a while to do one section; put on a bead, crimp it, put on another but I should be done by tomorrow.

In my free period, we got our hands on some whiteboard markers and we started doing people's love compatibilities. This idea of fun was a big thing in primary school, and Diem and I were going back to the "good" old days. John and I got a low score of 20 something percent (which I recalculated to be 97% (blame Diem)) and we did all these funny ones. I told Diem about my obsession with left-handed guys and guns, so I did the test with Jonathan Togo from CSI: Miami and I got such a good score of 93%

Jonathan Togo - My left-handed love

(And don't ask me about the vest...it's horrible)

I had my English essay and even though the question was so easy I was lost for words! I ran out of time so I had to write really quickly, so I don't know if I made any sense.
