wow its been so long since i posted anything on this blog i kinda forgot how i did it.
So i've survived what they call the first third of year 12. term 1, 10 weeks gone and a mere 25 or so left. As i sat at my square red desk at the front of my sports hall with almost 160 peers behind me today, i realised that i had just survived one of the most physically and emotionally demanding and draining weeks in my school life. Sure i've said that to myself thousands of times, usually after a couple of maths exams or friendship breakdowns, but i can honestly say that this week has been the most challenging.
heres a breif run down. going back to friday.
.fri 31/3 end of week 9- exams are over, results are back, no school just work in the arvo and kathos dancing class(ohhh that was fab!)
.Saturday 1/4 It began today: 9am-6:30pm drama rehearsals for a school assessment- still creating, still arguing, still screaming, but finally a blueprint was established. (after a few tears, sore throats and exhaustion)
went out to a friend's party.
.Sunday 2/4 Drama rehearsals 9am - 5 or 6pm ran through the show- omg its on tuesday!
.Monday up at 5am to be at school full hair and makeup by 7:30am for a drama promo infront of 500 senior school students. (might i add the fire alams went off due to overuse of the smoke machine and we had to do a fire drill- IN COSTUME!)
still at school from 4 till 9pm (14 hr school day) yess stil doing drama
.Tuesday up at 6:30 am be at school by 8am full hair and makeup for our first show.
back to school by 6pm ready for the big finale- the show and assessment- 10 weeks of work lie in the hands of about 1hr and 20mins performance.
.Wednesday physically exhausted can barely stay awake- had to run cross-country came 5th (dont speak to me about being tired)
.Thursday AHH first QCS trial- Writing task (thankgoodness it was a trial!!) and MC1 in the arvol.
and finally today FRIDAY. last day of term 1. SR this morning and MC2 this arvo.
so while i sat in that chair as our papers were collected i realised; we always survive. we always reach tomorrow. And i wondered why i cried over nothing in particular or stressed because i didnt think i would make it. but i did, i always do and so does everyone else. its rather ironic i think. And though i know how hard this last week has been i know it is only one of many that i will face in the comming months. but like today and for the past 7 days i'll make it. ill get it done and so will the rest of my grade and so will the other yr 12 students graduating in 06. just like every other year. just like everyone else who thought they couldnt do it. it really proves how strong the human mind really is. it comes back to the old saying "You have two choices".
Complete banter i know. but hey its nice to procrastinate and rather soothing to express mindless jibberish sometimes.
