Stuff's been happenin'. Yes it has. Mm-hm. ^^
I've finally managed to get a hold of myself and finish up a few assessment tasks. (I screwed up on my English speech, though. >.< I forgot we were supposed to bring in two texts. Guh.) So, it feels better, now... I'm not done with all my work yet, but it's getting well on its way. I'm so frickin' relieved...
Oh, yeah! Art's Fest is coming up, next week! It'll be a day where the whole of high school is off class, for the sake of artsy stuff! It's the best day of the year! ^^ (I couldn't contribute a thing, because of my current status, but still...) It's basically a competition between all four of our school houses - all representing yellow, red, blue and green. (I'm in the yellow house.)
Speaking of our school houses, we have notice boards for all four houses situated outside our library (Usually displaying house events, promotion, all that jazz). And I take the competition quite seriously, due to the fact that the red house has won every single Art's Fest since it first came into existence. And I grow frustrated by the day that our house has never really beaten theirs. >.< Anyhow, I was walking past the notice boards, off to the library.
And stopped.
And stepped back, a few paces.
Knuckles the Echidna had been posted up on the red house's noticeboard, saying "[inserthousenamehere] ROCKS!"
I was shattered. I was just shattered. My God, Knuckles. How could you!? How could you side with the ENEMY!?
Yes, I am totally rambling, right now... Ignore my gripes, dudes. Ignore. XD
On Friday afternoon, I saw an old friend of mine after about six months. (Ella, though she prefers "Catty.") That's a long time, actually - I recall that she and I were close friends for a long time, until she got really outgoing. Personally, I'm naturally a passive person, so I often just listened to her. XD I guess I was a tad like a journal to her. Anyway, we both had issues after a while, and I considered her too much of a handful to be around. (Even though she's truly a nice person at heart) Anyhow, she left the school, and I didn't see her until last night.
After my English Extension class, I met up with Steph, Ella, Adrienne and Mai. (Steph is from my year, and Adrienne's from my brother's year. Mai, I've never met before. XD) We headed off to the city to eat dinner... though I should say that we spent about an hour and a half running around Sydney to find a place to eat at. XD It was loads of fun, though - I hardly go out in the city at that time. We were just chattin', chilling, having fun, catching up... It had been a long time since I'd done something like that... It felt brilliant. ^^
Finding a place to eat at was a pain, though. On one occasion, we literally wound up squeezing our group into a dodgy little elevator, which led up to another little restaurant (which was also full and booked out. XD) - it was like a scene from a movie. (What made it all the more perfect was that Adrienne pulled out her phone and started playing the "Fooling Mode" theme from Naruto. XD It fit perfectly! Just the awkwardness of it all. XDD)
Anyhow, we finally made it to a place in Chinatown which sold dumplings. Loads of dumplings. Very tasty - pork, pork with cabbage, prawn, lamb, vegetarian, and even broccoli with garlic sauce, which was pretty darn tasty. ^^
After that, we helped direct Steph to her pickup point, then the rest of us went off to get dessert. I got pretty sick afterwards from eating too much, though. We went to a food court, and sat and chatted, until I called my Mom to get me. Then we chatted some more...
... and, I got in trouble for not specifying the pick-up point with Mom. ^^;;;
We talked in the car, and settled things after a bit. It surprises me that later she admitted she was concerned about making a scene in front of Ella. XDD Ah, Mom. I love you. ^^
So, yeah. Fantastic night. :D
I just finished the first chapter for the fanwork exchange over at the Professor Layton community, and am writing the next one, now. ^^ I've got the whole thing done in my head - pretty short, but I hope everyone at least enjoys it. :)
Anyhow, I've been going on for too long...
Left hand hurts. XD
