Surprise!

Yesterday, John and I surprised Lauren by bring Chris over with us to her house. She was so shocked that she squealed and gave Chris the biggest hug. She was so happy and had the biggest smile on her face; something that I haven't seen in a long time. We sat around for awhile while we decided what we were going to do for the day and as we did, we watched Tom and Jerry on Foxtel.

We ended up deciding that we wanted to go watch "I Am Legend" at Warwick. Lauren drove us and she put in her party mix CD and started singing along to songs that John and Chris didn't really like. We went into Coles to get some snacks to bring into the movies instead of buying the overpriced food at The Candy Bar. The movie was quite popular, as they put us all in the Mega Stadium and it was quite full. The movie itself was quite suspenseful and things jumped out of no where. There was one scene where Will Smith's character was walking through a dark hall holding a gun and this guy to the right of me screamed out stupidly, "Watch out!" That broke the suspense.

We then went back to Lauren's house and the others went for a swim. After a while, Lauren came and sat with me and we had a really good chat.

At 7:30pm, I turned up for Blair's 18th birthday party at Hogsbreath. I and a few of the guys turned up before her. She looked quite pretty with her hair in curls and wearing a black dress. She really brought colour to the party, literally, as she brought in blue and white helium balloons and napkins to replace the Hogsbreath ones. I knew everyone there except for two girls who were Blair's childhood friends. The food was pretty good, but I was disappointed that they have taken my favourite meal off the menu. B;air had brought an icecream cake as her birthday cake and it was the best one I had tasted. I'm not sure exactly it was made of, but I tasted strawberry sauce. Overall, it was a great party.

And it was a great day with friends.

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!

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!

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!

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.
