I received my English Paper 2 back today, i got 25/30, i'm pretty happy with that. And i got 12/15 for Section 3 of Paper 1 (the essay). What's with teachers and not giving out averages anymore? And what's with teachers being too lazy to mark? I always thought when i was a junior that as soon as we reached senior status, our exams would get marked in a matter of days, some teachers have proved me right, some have proved me wrong. It's annoying when you get certain sections back of different exams, it gets too confusing.
I'm hoping to collect a least a few articles for my Legal media file this weekend, and hopefully get a start on the maths assignment (pfft). And tomorrow we have a Religion exam, oh great. As if we've learnt a damn thing. I also really need to do some piano practice tomorrow, but Ms. Webster wants us to go to see the rest of the Extension English presentations in the morning (which is when i usually practise); and i really want to see the presentations. I think i'm going to see the presentations and practise piano at lunch, and if i don't get a chance well then just wing it, not that hard. And let's face it, it's not like i eat lunch anyway; might as well do something useful.
I was going to ask my Grandma for money to go to Supacentre tomorrow to try and get a new adaptor for my keyboard, which i've been trying to get for ages; but i forgot to ask her yesterday and she doesn't have enough change, guess i'll try and remember for next week. Then Phillip running to get to the practice room won't be so much of an issue.
EDIT: Wow, i just found four articles for my Legal media file. All to do with topics we've covered, some even covering numerous topics. Maybe this media file will be easier than i once thought, especially since Ms. Curis will be focusing on the variety of topics in your articles rather than the variety of sources.
And does it seem like i'm posting a lot, probably because of my new layout. The last layout i didn't like much so i wasn't as enthused to post, unlike this layout which i like. Interesting the motivation for posting. Let's see how much Phillip posts now to really prove my theory.

Well Aunty Ngaire just said to me that i got the wrong biscuits for her when i went shopping on Sunday. She said she told me but i yelled "NO!" at her. Um, no, old woman, stop making things up. Then when i said "you probably dreamt it", she said i was trying to get out of it. Oh, please, go see a doctor you wilted old bag. I don't even remember her telling me, and needless to say, i think my memory is better than hers. And now my Grandma is all like "you can't talk to Aunty Ngaire like that". I didn't, for fuck's sake.
And how is Krystal under the radar, Big Brother is getting stupid. The ways they try and manipulate our votes is just becoming too obvious. Oh, let's show percentages throughout the show of who has the most votes. The fucking percentages don't even add up to 100 because they apparently 'round off', pfft, please. The whole voting for under the radar thing was just a ploy to get more money from phone votes anyway. Needless to say it's good television, but you'd have to be pretty ignorant to actually vote.

Haven't gotten any exams back yet, except Maths of course. I got 88%. The mistakes i made were quite stupid. We also had an English listening test today. It was crazy. There were so many questions and the tape was only played twice. Half the questions i just made up answers to because i couldn't remember what was said on the tape - great. I currently have three assignments and a Religion test tomorrow - even more great. We just had exams for God's sake, give us a break. Who ever heard of a Maths assignment anyway? At least maybe Phillip will be doing General Maths now, thank God. Now i know how Danniel feels when we talk about things he has no idea about.
I was surprised to see that X-Men 3 had the fourth highest grossing opening weekend (in America) in history. The only movies earning more are Shrek 2, Spider-Man, and Star Wars Episode III. There'll probably be a fourth movie then, just so 20th Century Fox can make some more bucks *sigh*. Halle Berry will probably demand to direct the bloody thing.
I wonder if Tommy's home yet, seeing as how he got off at my stop and all, due to pure laziness.

Today was pretty boring. We missed the last two periods due to some ministry meeting, which was completely pointless anyway, only the last five minutes was relevant, but hey, who's complaining about missing out classes. Middle two periods were just music practise. And tomorrow we're expected to write a short story in the space of thirty minutes for some competition. Cindy the Vampire Slayer, anyone?
The Big Brother twist last night was completely ridiculous. They had a 'lie detector test', their voices were tested. I don't see that as being accurate at all, especially enough for Big Brother to say, 'i know for a fact some of you are lying'. I even read today that those tests are only around 49% accurate anyway, as opposed to the 90% that Big Brother claims. Not only this, but the lie detector answers have been removed from the Official Site, after 'Behind Big Brother', a popular fansite reported that the tests were only 49% accurate, i'm sensing something suspicious. I think the whole stunt was only an attempt to steal first show ratings from It Takes Two on Channel 7 anyway, no serious consideration was ever put in to the actual event.

Today i was lying in bed, and i thought to myself, the videos and songs don't work on my site, the layout sucks, and most of the hits come from my blog. So i made the wise decision of shutting it down, now all that remains is this blog. I don't think anyone even went to my site. Well, i may prove myself wrong and the hits will die from now on, but i think i'm right. Not one person who wasn't visiting to read my blog commented on the tag board, so that has to be saying something.
Exams are finally over, and i did end up changing layout, as i said to myself i would when they were over. I feel pretty confident that i did fairly well in most of the exams, except maybe English Paper 2, but you couldn't study for that, so i don't have to blame myself. I think i did quite well in my presentation for Extension English, mainly because i handed in two drafts, and most people didn't even hand in one.
Charmed and Alias have finally finished. Charmed finale was action packed, but it certainly had a happy ending. I actually found the Alias finale quite boring, probably because i expected more. I had no expectations for Charmed whatsoever.
My money that i earned from Phillip's Dad has finally run out, now it's back to asking my Grandma for money to go to the movies.
Phillip, Danniel and I went to see X-Men 3 yesterday, Tommy was supposed to come, but didn't, because he was watching The OC, which he could watch anytime *blank face*. The movie was the best i've seen this year, and gets a 10; mainly because i've been waiting three fucking years. Now there's just Just My Luck which i wanna see in the next couple of months, although i hear it's bad.

Exams have started, it's been pretty much smooth sailing so far, nothing too difficult. Music, i feel i was thoroughly prepared for, although i think i only did okay (though this would be considered brilliant to some). Tomorrow is Business Studies, if anything, i think i'm over-prepared for it. There are only three short answer questions, in addition to an 'extended response' and i've memorised the whole syllabus. I am starting to fret about Legal though, so much more to remember. I'm hoping to leave that until Thursday night when my mind is free of everything else, though. The only 'exam' i'm really not worried about is Extension English, since all i have to do is read off a sheet in front of the class, and i am actually talking about things i enjoy talking about. And it is the last exam after all. I feel like i'm missing out on a week of school, it's great. I rather be at home studying than at school sitting in class while some ignorant teachers move their mouths.

Tommy, don't read this post if you don't want to know what happens in The OC, even though you won't see it for years.
Well last night when i was checking for the new episode of The OC to download on a forum, somebody uploaded the episode and said, 'i uploaded this for my lovely Marissa'. So i was like, okay, somebody is obsessed with Marissa, what else is new. Then someone later on the topic said 'how could you spoil it like that, half of the people on this forum haven't even seen the episode yet'. And i put two and two together and was in shock. I started researching and realised that Marissa dies in the Season 3 finale, which i just saw a couple of hours ago *tear*.
Mischa has been threatening to leave the show for as long as i can remember, and now her younger sister is going to take her place, great. She can't even come back, since she died.

So i was thinking today how much more i wouldn't be going online if i didn't have Josh to talk to, and how much more study i'd get done.
If this isn't a sign, God knows what is.
And so hating my layout at the moment, hopefully will be able to put a new one up after exams are over.

I haven't really been studying that much this week. But my headaches have stopped, so i must be doing something right. I think last week i was just overwhelmed with the work load, and now i'm just doing it at my own pace, and reminding myself that i'm only in prelim. year.
On Sunday, me, my grandma and Aunty Ngaire went to the Randwick Labor Club for lunch. It was FULL of old people. Only three young people were there, and they only arrived as we were leaving. But i suppose it's alright, it was Mother's Day after all. I did manage to keep myself amused by continually playing Britney on the video jukebox (at $1 per video, you should be amused). I wasted around $10, but it was my Grandma's money. I also saw some One Wayers when we left. Tommy wasn't among them, so i didn't really pay attention.
My Grandma has also told my mum that she has to come home in June so that my grandma can go to New Zealand for the birth of Melanie's child (her first great granchild). My mum hasn't exactly said she's coming back, all she's said is 'i'll sort it out'. I hope she does come back, though. Luckily Aunty Ngaire is going on a holiday too so that my mum can't ask her to look after me (although she's already asked me if Aunty Ngaire is going to be here). On Sunday she said she wanted to talk to me when my Grandma wasn't here. All i can say is: 'here we go'.
My iPod has already been slightly scratched. Great. It must've happened in some part of the process of me giving Phillip my iPod so that he could put the new episode of Charmed onto it. Well there goes my plan . . .
Danniel 'accidentally' blurted out the other day that i had called Ms. Webster a bitch when she gave me 10 in the article. I do remember doing it, but it was definetely in a joking manner. I quickly denied it when he accused me, as i didn't know what to say. I think she was angry at first (and so was i, at Danniel). But i think she's come to terms with the fact that i call everyone a bitch, and it doesn't mean a thing. As today in the after-school English prep. for the exam, Roger called someone a bitch, and i said 'that is so my saying', and she agreed. Well thank God for that, i still wasn't over the fact that Danniel told her.

Finally me and my baby have been reunited (well not really, because Apple gave me a 'new' iPod). The one they gave me doesn't have scratches or anything, so i'm determined to keep it perfect. I've even put it in some plastic thing, and cut holes in it so i can still press the buttons, that's how desperate i am. I also managed to my Grandma the Fantasy body souffle for her birthday from Myer today.
There has been so much pressure this week. But since i started getting headaches, i've tried to stop stressing, although it doesn't seem to be working. I'll just be glad when exams are over and we can all breathe easily again. And hopefully all we get this week are study lessons. Ms. Webster has marked the draft of my Extension assignment, so now all i have to do is create a good copy, nothing too hard. And only one more question left in the Music past HSC paper. So maybe this week i can just focus on studying.
Still having the same problem with my Alias download stopping and freezing my computer *sigh* and i'm so close, at 90%.

Too much to fucking do. We're expected to study millions of topics for the half-yearlies, complete an Extension English assignment, complete a Business Studies assignment (which we receive notification of next week), complete a past HSC paper for music, and prepare a piece for the music half-yearlies. I've started going to the library at lunch, that's how much work there is to be done.
But at least i have something to relax me, new Britney photoshoot <3
I got the last practice HSC paper that we did for music last term back yesterday, i got 24/30, so at least that's boosted my confidence a bit. We'll see though, after i get the mark back for the second one.
When i got home today, i went to study for Legal, and i brought the wrong exercise book home, how insanely stupid of me -_- Did still manage to get some done though.
The people from the Apple store also called yesterday, they said my iPod is fixed and ready to be picked up - great news (if it is actually fixed of course). I can't get there until Saturday though. I also plan to buy my Grandma the Fantasy (Britney's second fragrance) body souffle for her birthday, since her Curious one(Britney's first fragrance) has nearly finished. I was going to get it last week when i dropped my iPod off, but i knew i'd have to go back to the city to pick my iPod up anyway, so i might as well get it then. I told her i'm not getting her a Mother's Day present, just a birthday one, seeing as how it costs $50 and all.
My Grandma also said that she's booked for us to go out for lunch on Sunday for Mother's Day, fine with me. As long as we're not there for hours and i can fit some study in.
This post is so rushed, Neighbours is about to start and my fingers are falling off due to frost bite.

Boring day. Did some studying. Watched some (a lot of) Buffy. I've finally finished watching The OC Season 2, and only because i didn't want to start Buffy Season 6 without finishing it. I spent God knows how many hours downloading the new episode of Alias today. The stupid download stopped every 5-10 mins; and everytime it stopped, it literally froze my computer for about two minutes. Finally it's done. Phillip said he would burn it onto CD-R for me, but even then, it might not work, and i would have to wait until tomorrow or Monday.
I bought two new shirts the other day (by buy, i mean circle in the catalogue for my Grandma to buy) and they are so tight, even though they are XL. I don't get it. I can get away wearing a large or even a medium sometimes. My grandma says they're supposed to be tight, but whatever. Can't even take them back, some doofus threw the receipt out. They don't even look that tight, but i feel insecure wearing them.
Hoping to study some more if Phillip doesn't call to go to the movies. Studying is my excuse for not doing the Extension English Assignment.

Today was a very weird, aggrivating and exciting day. I've experienced so many emotions today it's not even funny. Exams are coming up and i'm scared shitless. There's so much to study for Legal, Business and English. Does anybody knows what postmodernism is, if you do, please explain? I have no idea what i'm doing in the Extension Assignment, and i want to get started. I didn't even know we had to do a performance for our Music half-yearly.
We also got our feature article back today and i fail to understand how i did so poorly. Miss Webster says it's not analytical enough. I just don't see how my article has less analysis or techniques than Chris Van Egmont's, which miss gladly gave us all a copy of. I spent so long writing the stupid article, and then rewriting it after Miss Webster read it. Why didn't she tell me it was bad when she read it? All my marks have been crap this year. Everybody (by everybody i mean Danniel, Phillip and Tommy) are getting higher marks than me. I also spent so long studying for business, and i only get 13/20. Sure, my ranking is 8, but more than half of the people who do business are complete idiots and wouldn't study to save their life. I usually don't complain about marks, but that's because i usually get them. I feel stupid for thinking that Miss Webster would understand where my article was going, but all she did was draw arrows and write 'more techniques'. Oh how very helpful. I can accept bad marks when they're deserved (eg. the speech), but i really think i deserved higher for the article. I just thought that me, Phillip and Danniel had our own specialities, and i thought English was mine, and now i don't know what to think, am i even good at anything?
And then when i thought my day couldn't take another turn, our school bus gets completely lost on the way home due to a crash on Gardeners Rd. Sure it was fun for the first five minutes, but then it's like, what the hell is this driver smoking. My grandma told me she was on a bus this morning and that the driver knew exactly where to go to avert the crash.
I then got home, still thinking about my English assignment, and i find out Paris's new song(s) have leaked. They are extremely hot, and not one person who has heard them (Danniel included, yes i can hear the jaws dropping already) has said that they are bad. I had Danniel and Alex asking me for more links to her songs. The Paris era has only just begun.

I was extremely excited when my grandma told me she was going to Eastagardens today; as Buffy Season 6 came out today, and i've been waiting for who knows how long. I told her to go to Ezy DVD, as on the website it says it's only $40. She said she nearly got on the bus, forgetting to get it, but thankfully she remembered. I was actually anticipating that they wouldn't have it, because when i asked about Season 2, they said they didn't know anything about it. But they did have it, so it's all good. It's actually already sold out on the website. It has the most special features i have ever seen on a Buffy DVD. Outtakes, featurettes, karaoke, an hour-long press conference, trailers, commentaries and scripts. I was about to throw out the Season 6 videos that i bought ages ago, when my Grandma said i was stupid, and said she's going to take them into St. Vincent De Paul. She hasn't quite got her head around the concept that videos are now obsolete and that nobody wants to buy them; but i'm sure somebody will buy them from Vinnies.
Term two has started alright, the thoughts of upcoming exams scare me, though. So much to study for! Not to mention we have to hand in a draft of our Extension English assignment next Friday. At least Buffy and Star Wars (which i'm using as two out of three texts) interest me. Not too sure about the webcomic.
Why i am so obsessed with neatness? Tonight it took me over an hour to complete my Maths homework due to the fact that we have to draw graphs, and i like them to be perfect. Some people were even doing them freehand in class.
Haven't even practised for piano this week, and my lesson is tomorrow, i better not get yelled at (here's hoping).
I want my iPod back . . .
