Well now that we can officially burn that stimulus booklet of ours (unless you go to a cheapskate school like me and you actually have to return it or something like that). I cannot wait til tomorrow afternoon when I can burn everything related to Brave New World, Blade Runner and King Lear. I liked Frontline so I might keep my stuff for that =P
Paper One was alright. I hated section one. Some of it seemed too straight forward and I kept looking out for tricks and traps. Section two was slightly tricky, I had to work in one of those pictures into like one paragraph and change my storyline a little to fit in. And I know I skipped through it pretty quick cos I didn't have a lot of time left and didn't know whether I'd actually finish so I washed down the beginning a lot. But don't get me wrong, my time management was good, I just can't write very fast cos I print >.< And I was trying to write bigger than I normally do which, if you know me and my writing, is quite a big ask. Section three, man thank god I memorised my essay. Shut up. I know everyone told me not to but if I don't, then my thoughts are all over the place so it was just easier that way. At the end I remembered I forgot to underline all my headings but meh, sif they can take a mark off for that.
According to my mum I'm beginning to resemble a panda bear. You know, with the two black rings around my eyes. I'm getting sleep, I just don't sleep as well as I normally do. I sleep 8 hours a night at the moment, but I wake up more tired than when I used to sleep 6 hours during school. I take forever to fall asleep at night, I can feel my heart pounding but when I time my heart rate, it's normal. And then I keep waking up during the night with the weirdest dreams. They're not even really HSC related, just more like friends and life related issues. I have no idea what's going on there but I swear tomorrow after this English exam I can take a breather cos it's maths next and I don't have to friggin memorise like 3 essays.
Well to end off, I was watching this awesome movie that y'all have to watch! It's based mainly around basketball but hey if that doesn't strike your fancy, there's boys with HOT bodies to stare at too! It's called Coach Carter =) This one quote by Timo Cruz (played by Rick Gonzalez) really stuck with me for a long time so I've decided to share it with you. It's not quite as meaningful just reading it but if you ever get a chance, watch the movie!!!
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
