As requested by the lovely Annika:

Behold: An update on EVERYTHING (that I deem to be of importance).

School:
- I spend more time calculating percentages and averages than I do on actual schoolwork. Consequently, I can tell you that I have an overall average of 88%.
- I got 98% on the latest Psych SAC. FTW.
- I have now completed four practice exams ( Read more... )

May/June = months of epic horror.

Things that I have just done/are coming up:
- Legal SAC
- Psych SAC
- English SAC
- Psych trial exam
- ACTUAL PSYCH EXAM D:
- Two Lit SACs and the GAT (ON THE SAME DAY :O)

I miss summer. I miss Narooma. I miss the city.

I miss my boyfriend. :(

Yet another list of things that I have done, am doing, or am thinking:

- Started Checkpoints for Psych this afternoon. Exam in less than a month. D:
- Am currently listening to "Every Time I Close My Eyes" by Vanessa Amorosi. It is very soothing.
- Bec's 18th was muchly enjoyable. Swing chairs are awesome.
- I need more superheroes in my life. Also, ( Read more... )

In the first three months of Year 12, I have achieved the following SAC results:

English: A+, A+, A
Lit: A, B+, A+, A
Legal: A+, A+, A+, A+
Health: A, A+
Psych: A, A+, A+, A, A+

That is amazing, even without considering the inordinately high level of failure I managed in previous years. Yet every day, I wake up and walk around with a heavy lump of dread ( Read more... )

Sylvia Plath just made me moan.

Fuck yes.

Oh, Neil Gaiman. You just...stun me. You make my childhood world intersect with my (almost) adult one in all kinds of beautiful ways. You make me feel like my passion for history and writing and books and all the beauty contained within those spheres is worthwhile. You make me feel like perhaps life is not all about the bread-and-butter (working ( Read more... )

Things that have made me happy today:

1. "With reference to the functioning of both cones and rods, explain why perception of colour diminishes as light intensity decreases" being a question in my Psych textbook. That is a gorgeous question.

2. Being given a good deal of chocolate (including a KINDER SURPRISE EGG! :D) by Mum, and also, The Swan ( Read more... )

I can't stand seeing girls I know update their Facebook statuses with "these holidays are going to be just my boyfriend, my boyfriend, and more of my boyfriend". Not because I'm unhappy for them, but because I'm so jealous. I know they must have just as much, if not more, work than me, and are obviously neglecting it in order to do what they're ( Read more... )

There's something very peaceful, despite the upcoming SACs it's in honour of, about sitting at one's desk, surrounded by handouts that say things like 'Analysing Context in Literature' and 'Marxist readings', sipping hot chocolate and contemplating the views and values within Beowulf. I love being a pretentious intellectual.

In a slightly less high ( Read more... )

More things, because I am apparently addicted to lists:

1. I got 81% in the first Psych SAC I did. I just found out that I got 92% in the one I did on Friday. I have improved by 11%. Go me. :D

2. Mum doesn't like my Health teacher because she is "officious".

3. Mum doesn't like my Psychology teacher because she used to be "officious".

4. Mum doesn't ( Read more... )
