Two years
It’s not so long
Unless you’re young
Then it’s long

Forever.

Weird, Thursday was my last day of high school life. Still finding it difficult to comprehend that I won’t be going back, when I’ve been doing it for most of my life. It’s just… always been there! I mean, of course I still have exams, but school, it’s just, gone! I am happy, but I’m sad too, because I don’t know where my life is heading after school. After graduation on the 18th, some of those people standing in the room with me, I will never see again, which is sad. I won’t be seeing a lot of my friends on the regular basis that was school five days a week, plans have to be made, we won’t just come together anymore like at school. I’m preparing myself for the likely tears that will be here come graduation.

On the plus side, it’s a new chapter in my life, probably the biggest and most different one to date, and change is always good, so here’s hoping for the best.

P.S I passed all my exams, bar History (:/) but I passed it overall, so I don’t care. Hopefully my TEE exams will be better.

Sorry it’s been a while, yet again. School is as always, keeping me busy. I have been gearing up for mock exams next week – starting tomorrow, just the thing I want to do during my holidays :/ Not feeling too confident about them, as I haven’t had as long to study as I may have liked, due to work nearly every day. They account for at least 50% of my school mark for the year as far as I know, 60% for Maths, so I better do well.

My last day of High School is the 22nd of October, that is a mere eight school days, eight! In ways I can’t wait for it to end, but I also don’t want it too as I am still unsure of what I want to consider being my future after school finishes. I put in my TISC application for WA Universities, putting in courses like Hospitality and Tourism… things I might like to do but since I needed to make a decision, it’s put down now. I think I can change them, after get my TER back, which will hopefully be decent… Also considering applying for Adelaide Universities, if it isn’t too late, I don’t know if their application date is the same as WA, I looked at their websites but didn’t find anything really aiding my plans. I found (well Dad found) a nice computing course at the University of South Australia, but that too, depends on my TER. Oh well…

My proper TEE exams begin the 2nd of November, with Human Biology, followed by History on the 4th, English on the 5th and Maths on the 9th, then I’m finished! Graduation is on the 18th. Terrified at the prospect. One thing I think I will do is take a year off, and wonder what the hell I’m going to do with myself.

In other news, we finally, at long last, we moved into our new house! It took a while, and there is still a few things left to move in, but basically, we’re in. Now I have to go because I’m getting pins and needles typing this on my cold new bedroom floor due to the fact I don’t have a desk yet.

Going to see Cobra Starship (again) in March! Tickets came last Wednesday. At the Metro, making it a middle of the day concert (weird) because they’ll want to use the nightclub again in the night. Too bad I won’t be 18 by then…
Anyway, wish me luck!

I knew it’d been a while since I blogged, but over a month? Wow.

Went to Alice Cooper on Tuesday. Was actually a really, really good show. My friend Adrienne offered to take me when our friend Kathy couldn’t make it. So glad I accepted. He killed himself twice, and it seemed he told a story through the songs. I wasn’t expecting that, and I would definitely go again.

I only have two months left of school. October sometime is my last school day, I have mock exams in the October school holidays and my last exam ever is on November the 9th. I can’t wait but at the same time I want time to slow down because I don’t know what to do when school is finished! TAFE? Uni? Gap year first or not? It’s too hard to make these decisions at 17!

Leavers in Busselton with Kathy and Adrienne. Maybe off to Melbourne/Adelaide with Goya a short while after that. Depends on flights, etc. We’ll see, we’ll see… IT’S TOO SOON GOD DAMN. !

Well I actually got home last Friday but have been swamped with homework. (Missing a week from year 12 does that to you.) It’s good to be home, bu I would much rather still be in Adelaide at the moment. Two of my friends want to go so there’s a very strong chance of me being there during the summer holidays. Another idea also cropped up via Nikki and Harry, who I was staying with in Adelaide. UNI IN ADELAIDE. Seriously considering it, so I may be seeing a whole lot more of Adelaide yet (:D!) Adrienne likes the idea too. We’ll see how things (especially my grades) turn out and go on from there…

Celebrating my birthday in Adelaide was great. One more year and I hit the bit 1-8. Wow.

Big happy birthday to Kimmy who is 17 today!

I found out today, that my parents have decided to send me to Adelaide for four days, because Dad might of been going over and they knew how much I loved Adelaide the first time in ’06, so for my birthday, they’re sending me too! I can’t wait, the only thing I’m not looking forward to is the even bigger load of homework I’ll be getting for missing the first week of school. I haven’t even finished my holiday homework yet.

I’m there four days, and I leave Perth Tuesday at 2 o’clock in the morning, not that I mind, I think it’s great. Will try and blog over there, if not, I’ll tell of my exploits when I return

News from TUNE! FM that they have moved out of their home of the last 20 odd years in preparation for the brand new purpose built studios.
