Whoops, it's been a while. Remind me to change my avatars. They all suck and I stole them from various people - I'll make my own when I have time.
SUPER IMPORTANT NEWS -
I've started running, first time was last night, and it felt great. I've been becoming really unfit in the last 2 years, I used to be a pretty good swimmer/sprinter/netballer, but then I stopped because I thought I wouldn't have time when I should be studying.
Screw that! I'm definitely going to be doing this every day or every two days. I really want the Nike+ kit, except the shoes start at like $150 if you get proper ones.
I don't have $150.
I've finally figured out what I'm going to do when I finish High School (only a few more months to go!).
About 10 of us are going to the Blue Mountains and hanging out in a cabin for a week. That is going to be awesome fun, and it's only $32 for 6 days. I'm going to go to about 20 18th birthday parties in November/December, that should be .. interesting.
I don't drink because I have a really low tolerance and a really high metabolism rate. I feel the effects of it pretty soon after and feel awful. I'll have to stick to coke, which will be so sad.
Then I'm buying myself a laptop (Macbook, or the new equivalent) and a dSLR Camera. So that's like .... $2500 gone within a month.
Darn.
Then Uni will start, and I've got my heart set on Architecture. There's a good chance I'm going to suck at it, I've never done anything like it before, and I'm not sure I have the temperament for it. I desperately want it to work out though, I don't know what I'll do if I suck.
If it doesn't work out maybe I'll drop out of uni for the rest of the year and go to America. Do the Summer Camp thing, like I was considering doing, meet some new people. The only problem is that I won't be 21 and won't be able to get into clubs, bars etc.
WHAT IS WITH THAT
The legal drinking age is 18 in Australia!!! Blergh.
OH - did you know that trafficking people for forced labour and sexual slavery has become the world's No. 2 most lucrative crime?
Equal with trade in weapons, and second only to the drugs trade. Apparently you can make $200,000 profit on an investment of $8,000, the cost of a young woman.
OH THIS IS FREAKING BIG NEWS
I'm doing that thing where you don't shampoo your hair for 6 weeks. Go Google it. It's been about 4 weeks so far and my hair is more voluminous than usual, but a bit more oily.
I can't wait to see what happens after 6 weeks! Wooot.
I haven't told many people about it because, going to a girl school, they all freaked when I suggested the idea.
