Well, not much has been going on in my personal life. Not that it would be very interesting anyway. Okay well. Lets see, what can I tell you? School isn’t working out as well as I’d planned at the beggining of the year. I had planned on getting two A’s for math this year. But now I can only get one, seeing as I’ve been FAILING all my assignments and tests so far. My only hope for a B is to pass the semester exam, 100%. Not going to happen, so I’ll have to deal with a C. I could be doing a lot better in PDH/PE, and I’m really disapointed in myself, because that is where I scab more of my A’s from. So far I think I’m on a B. Damn. Other than that I’m happy. For PDH, we have to make an advertisement on health. Me and my mate Courtney decided we’d film one and it would be about alcohol and drug abuse and what it can lead to. Like teenage pregnancies and unsafe sex. It’s going to be a hoot filming it. Maybe I’ll post it here when it’s done.
I’ve suddenly realised how close I am to the rest of my lifeTwo years isn’t a long time. Yet, so much can happen in two years that can make or break me. We had our year 11 information night. The subjects we pick are important, so is the AST we sit in year 12, so is what school we go to. I have half decided that I’ll be majoring in: English, Math Methods, Design Technology and Information Technology. I’ll be minoring in: Visual Arts and Physics. My aim is to become an architect, I enjoy designing things, I’m interested in conservation and engineering. My dad on the other hand thinks that I’ll get no where in Architecture and he made it quiet obvious. I cried that night. My parents should be supporting me, whatever I do, but instead insist I do something like medicine, I can do it though. I get sick easily and I can’t stand touching other people.
The battlefront between my friends is not improving. Unfortunately for me, this makes it awkward to talk to some people. It also means, that I can’t spend as much time with some people, because other friends think I’m siding with the other side. Pfft. If you understand that, you are very smart. I’m also having issues with a couple of my friends, two in particular, or make it three. FRIEND ONE. She is very close to me, she and I have grown up together and we’ve always had disagreements, but lately she’s fallen in love with a pothead. Her every second seems to be spent trying to woo him. I think another one of my friends like him too, so those two girls spend a lot of time together. Flirting. FRIEND TWO. She’s amazing, gorgeous and very talented at Kung-Fu. She doesn’t spend time with us anymore, unless she has no one else to talk to. It pisses me off. If she doesn’t want to be friends with me, then that’s okay, but, I don’t want her to pick me last. Also, every guy in the world loves her, I hate talking to my guy friends and then be told how hot she is. FRIEND THREE. She is a new-old friend. She is very preppy, and is usually in a good state-of-mind. Lately, she has given up all social events because she wants to get the best possible marks. I think shes got a good way of looking at it, but she needs a break from time to time. She gossips a lot though, and it drives me crazy, because she has been telling people stuff about me that I would not otherwise want them to know. I told her, because I trusted her, but now I watch what I say around her.
Now a change of pace, tennis. I’ve been to a couple of training sessions this term. They are trying to get me to perfect my serving technique. I’ve got the power, but havent got a high enough “strike rate”. I got my ass whooped yesterday. By Old Parliment House, but they were really nice, and one of the mum’s said I was good. I’m not that dissapointed because they are on top of the ladder, so it was to be expected. I’m going to start training more and for longer blocks of time.
I went to a Lankan band’s gig. They are from Melbourne, so I’ve never met any of them. It wasn’t as good as I thought it would be, but it was good catching up with friends I wouldn’t normally talk to. One of my friend’s cousins is so hot. I found out he’s 25 and is getting married next yr. So, he’s too old for me AND is getting married. Ahhh, never mind. I never really went for curries before. So why start now?
OMG. I’m developing a crush. On one of my best friends. I hate it. I don’t want it to get out. I don’t want him to find out either. I know he’s had feeling for me before, but we’ve established that he doesn’t anymore. I’ve known him for years, so why out of the blue do I like him all of a sudden? We talk about everything. Everything. He knows when I’m down, even if I’m yelling and smileing and faking a happy mood. No one else can tell, not even my own mother. When something good or bad happens, I always want to tell him first. But I’m afraid that if he finds out, what we’ve had over the years will mean nothing anymore. Help me.
I ADDED PSDs!!! I’M SO PROUD, FINALLY, I GOT SOME SITE STUFF DONE.
There is some of Aishwerya Rai and Avril Lavigne. I’ll make more soon. They are in the content section.

Okay, so school stuff first. Well, we’ve gotten a few assignments over the last little while. So it’s been a constant rush to finish them all by the deadline. I’ve been doing okay so far, no mental breadowns, no crying, no tantrums… So, it’s all good. I’m doing an essay on “The Effects Of Feminism on Australian Culture After The Second World War“. Mainly it’s about sexual freedom for women, including abortions and conraceptives, inequality between the sexs and descrimination. And I finished that essay on Schindler’s List, at first it seemed impossible to write 600 - 800 words on a movie as horrific and grusome as Schindler’s List, but after you got started it was a never ending ramble about lighting, editing, frames, camera angles and themes of the film. The hardest part for me was actually finishing off. I couldn’t make my point/s in just 800 words so my essay ended up about 1300 words long. I hope my teacher doesn’t take off marks for just having passion for the topic. He wouldn’t. I hope. Anyway, in the ACT, the government has introduced a method called the ‘dumbing down of the system’, it means, where NSW schools will get essays on the same film, but with a minimum owrd requirement of about 2000 words, we get a minimum word requirement of around 600. This is to give, lets call the ‘less talented people’, the chance to their best. Unfortunately, its the more talented that suffer here, when they decide to apply for a university or college outside of the ACT, they will be almost certainly rejected. And the worst part of it is that I’m paying for this! I don’t think that fair on the people who want an education, who want a chance to take the career path they choose, who want a chance at their dream. Okay. I’m done with my whine. I want to know what you think about it.
Yeh, thats right. The cross country. For those unlucky enough never to have experianced the thrill, adrenilin rush and excitment of cross country. I feel sorry for you. Truly. Most people hate cross country, but I don’t see what they are all complaining about. I love running around, wasting time, being fit, showing people up and being dehydrated. Well not dehydrated, but the rest of them I love. The best part, missing out on classes and the worst part: period pain, for the men in the room, it’s an agonising pain just below your stomach, and when you have it, you just wanna lie in bed all day. We ran 4km this year since I’m 15. I came 8th. I was so pissed off, I wanted to beat this girl called Tara cuz she beat me in the cross country last yr, leaving me in second place. Grrrr. But no, she beat me agin this year. Next year I’m aiming to beat Scougall and Tara. Cuz, it’s really shitting me now. I might do an extra lap just to spite them next year. Hahaa.
We also had tha UNSW Science Competition, it was unfortunately compulsory for me since I’m in the top class. It was kind of okay, in a way. It meant missing out on classes. Which is okay by me! I reakon that most people reading should at least know about the competitions because it is held throughout Australia and Asia. Well, I don’t think they should call it a competition, it makes people feel as if they need to compete with other people, it shouldn’t be like that, it should be a reflection on yourself and your personal achievements. So before the results come back, if you get ‘bad’, you shouldn’t think so, because in most schools it’s only the top students in schools who are even given the choice to do the test. So technically you are ‘competing’ against the top 10% of students around Australasia. And even if you get a participation, you are smart.
My friends are being losers lately, all they do is create problems; for eachother constantly. Like one of my best friends no longer hangs out with our ‘group’, and another friend has a serious issue with it. She pulls faces when the other approches us. Another friend brang up something that we’d all been trying to keep hush hush for nearly a year. About a now ex-couple. It’s not fair on the couple because they broke up a few weeks ago and the girl is devestated. And to top it all off, one of her friends is now going out with him. She pretendsnot to care, but you can see it in her eyes when the other two go lovey.AH. Now it comes to the part where I say I’ve done nothing for the site. But… alas, I have. I started making PSDs. Please tell me who your fave celebs are right now so I can start making PSDs of them. I got one and a half of Avril Lavigne. Quiet an achievement. I also joined a new topsite. So, VOTE VOTE VOTE. Please. I’m going to reply to the last post’s comments right now.
