EDIT: I FOUND SOMETHING HILARIOUS
/ end edit
Yesterday’s post was well received and I was interested in what everyone had to say. It kind of reminded me of a particular bivouac where some current year 12s and I had this HUGE “what if” game. I decided to initiate the discussion because we were all really bored of walking on the path that seemed to never end.
The questions were like, “If you were a rape victim, and found out you were preggers, what would you do? Abort? Or keep it? (and hate it for the rest of your life”, stuff like that. I found the discussion super intense, and enjoyed having an “intellectual” conversation with good friends.
But I digress. Now is the time to be emotional and reflect on what has been happening during the past few days. We officially have 3 days of school left. On Monday, we will have our final assembly in periods 4&5 I think. On Tuesday, we’ll have our luncheon, and on Wednesday- the long awaited grade visit to Balmoral.
DSLR people such as Jero, Ben, Bosco and James will probably feel a tad unwilling to bring their lovely cameras to the beach- So I WILL DEFINITELY BRING MY CAMERA ON WEDNESDAY- I will charge my batts the night before, bring my SD card on the day, and I’ll purchase some spare AA batts from a convenience store the day before just incase to be fully prepared. I will be the unofficial year 12 camera woman.
Unless I’m the first to dive in and the last to come out, of course.
Forgive me if I sound like a gaylord in this post- I blame this strange behaviour on the side effects of writing in too many people’s “memoir” book. Having to write stuff like “lets try hard to keep in touch” and “I’ll really miss you” and “the past few years has been super duper fun with you around” really does trigger some sort of emotional chain reaction. First I feel aware that I really might not stay in touch with a good friend- not being able to be there to talk things out, make fun and bitch. Then sad, because I then realise how much I’ll be missing out, and a bit remorseful because I should have gotten to know them earlier.
There are many of you I wish I started talking to earlier. I would have had much more fun- I could have so much more fun in the earlier years of high school- but I missed out. I think everyone’s just trying to make up for lost time right now. We’re very LOUD now X) and every now and then you see cameras flash everywhere- people signing books, embracing each other, huddling in groups and posing. D: Seeing all this makes it feel VERY real- and I can’t believe we’ll stop being year 12s on Wednesday.
OHMAGAD!
Ahahaha. So it all begins now. No more school. After the HSC, people will be starting university, working their way towards their career. Today I got a letter from the firm- it was like a wake up call. I start work on February 8th. It doesn’t seem that far away anymore. I don’t know what I’m going to DO in my position. I won’t have a timetable. I won’t be going to class. I’ll be making my own decisions and making decisions on behalf of clients and gad- it’s starting to sound so daunting right now. Suddenly, I feel like someone’s been pressing the ffwd button on the remote but it’s too late now. Time waits for no man.
Moving on, today was a great day. Let’s see..
WHAT HAPPENED TODAY?!
Morning: Learnt single ladies dance. I think we’ve pretty much finished. I have no idea what we are going to wear though. D: Skin tight clothes like leggings make me feel arrrgh. The thought of seeing Phat in a leotard is also quite arrrgh. lol
Eco: Productive-ish. We’re always going through past papers, so I feel more confident answering questions in papers. It’s great.
Jap: 2nd period was kind of boring. Wait- no it wasn’t. IT WAS HIGHLY ENTERTAINING thanks to Alanine Nogo who visited our class during his free. I took a video of his slap game with Chris Au and well- it was highly entertaining. One day when I have more internet, I will post it onto youtube. At the moment, I feel like I should be more conservative with my internet usage because it’s ages until we get speedy internet.
English: By 3rd period it felt like lunch or recess already. I don’t know why, but English felt like it dragged on for eons.
Recess: I have no idea what happened during recess. Completely forgot.
Double free: Kicked a ball around with some fellow free-ers and also posed lots for flashing cameras belonging to Bosco and Jero. I’m sure a lot of gaytarded photos were taken of me today. This used to bother me a lot- but now I think I enjoy it. It takes a lot less effort to look strange (or “attractive”) than to smile. Plus they look funny and make people laugh- so it’s all good. [John also likes to look strange… *hi5*]. THEN THE BBQ HAPPENED. YAY. We all just treated it as a huge luvo/photo taking session, and yes. It was great. Ms Jenns made a heart warming mini speech which made me cling onto the person next to me more tightly (WHO WAS IT? Lulu or Sam..) and made me feel the urge to take more photos. haha.
Lunch: The legendary 11 vs 12 soccer game. Which I mostly missed D: I KNOW! Apparently it was really good- but I was too busy chatting to my loveliest mentorees and taking photos with them. Grats to year 12, and to all my year 11 readers (c. yip j.chen) suck on that :) Better luck next year!
Maths: A fun no-work-done/Party lesson where Mr Woo just played guitar with Topher while Yoon sang. Borbor/Thomas/Quentin were playing with Mayer’s Document image thingy (er modern projector. what the hell is it called? I can’t catch up with technology anymore), and there should be pictures of us on the internal memory. lol.
Then for the last free, most of us just crashed the 3u math corridor party. I kidnapped Bosco’s camera for a short while and took happy snaps- The Viet crew, individual faces, Ameya’s face, other faces… you get the idea.
Jazzog (Jazz09) had it’s final rehearsal today. We probably spent more time taking photos then actually singing. I’ve enjoyed spending time with Jazz09- got to know people I wouldn’t have talked to much in school. I don’t think we’re exactly an utterly tight knit group- but I sorta hope we don’t disband- but stay together and sing every now and then. All those auditioning for school spec- best of luck. I won’t be able to make it (and sort of sick of performing- I’m not really an ideal performer).
Chris Au has a hugeass (&) mouth (double meaning *wiggles eyebrows*)
Currently typing this up on word- my net is gay and isn’t functioning properly the way it should. Hmm. My face is slightly red and I think I look scary. In future I will not purchase alcopops because they are simply not worth it. This lemon flavoured one I have just consumed tasted and looked like solo. If my face hadn’t turned a shade of light pink- well, I would assume that someone tried to rip me off. But I feel ripped off anyway. From now on I’ll purchase solo.
OHMYGAD what a long post. More than 2 pages on word now D:
PHOTO CREDITS- some to Drew. He was fiddling with my camera when I dumped it for Bosco's sleek dslr. :)
Hope I do something interesting this weekend. Went out to Cabra last weekend for Pho and looking at dresses (I've never winced so much in one day)- NEED TO EXERCISE. Lol. Have a good weekend all!
