Last maths class :'(

I had my last maths class during period 1 today. My last maths class forever! Finally, after 14 years of hard work in maths, it's finally over. Well, not exactly over yet. I still have to do the exams next friday and the following monday.
It was a pretty memorable maths class. I though the teacher wass pretty touched by what the class did this morning, and he gave a speech, and I thought it was pretty touching too. Thank God no one cried hahaha
Anyway... we had a great fun at period 1. There were food being served (in class of course) : chips, gummy babies, cakes, etc. People took some crazy photos and stuff, and even record it onto a video. But some are still very serious, they still spent some time working on their past papers and asking some questions to the teacher although there's no formal class or anything. Mc is usually pretty strict in terms of working in class, but not this time though... he doesn't care what the students did in class, which was pretty nice considering for some people like me, it was their last maths class too... forever... (Coz we can't be bothered taking specialist or any kind of maths in yr 12 of course, not after methods 3/4 in yr 11)
By the way... 3 or 4 people asked questions.. me ??? I was having fun... asking one question towards the end :)
Bit sad that it's gonna end... not the maths part of course, but being in a class with the same people every year (except for one), which rarely happens in Australian school during your senior year. I had a great class by the way, people were friendly, funny, and... undoubtedly... exceptionally genious, which kinda buggered me in some way coz I'm under pressure to keep up with them hahaha :D
Anways... I'm off to watching 'The Terminal' now... On computer that is... not on cinemas
And bad news is... exam's coming up in... lets see... saturday, sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday, THURSDAY... 5 DAYS
Gotta get my brain to start working hard again... after that... i'm gonna party my ass off to celebrate the adjournment of a year full of hard work. Wish me luck, I need all the luck I can get in this world. Although I'll try not to depend on it much... Anyway...

Relationships...

Here's something to think about. This article is extracted from the first few pages of Anna Warwick's book, 'Dating Disasters'.

I love dating. I love meeting new boys and making new friends. Don't get me wrong; I am not the most social person on earth and I don't click with everybody - but that's the funny part. We are all individuals these days, which is why single life makes sense, and why we are all so fascinating and strange to each other.
I don't understand the war of the sexes. I mean boy + girl = how hard can it be? We all work, play and sleep; we all need cuddles; and it's hard and scary for everyone. Any differences at all between us should be celebrated (life would be so boring without them). But it has been an issue for centuries, and probably always will be.
If a relationship is the way two people related, then every individual you meet will offer you a different relationship. Since there are billions of us humans, the possibilities are endless! And let's face it, we're not chasing woolly mammoths anymore so why not chase each other? It's not a life or death adventure but it sure can feel like it!
Dating is not just about looking for The One; it's all about getting out of your comfort zone and making an unlikely connection. Some people love being single. It's especially fun to be single when you have friends of the opposite sex to hang out with. To be honest I wouldn't have many friends of the opposite sex if I hadn't tried dating them at first. Now I can't do without them.
Even if you are looking for The One, it is very hard to squeeze a relationship in when you're working full-time, having an active social life, keeping fit, pursuing new hobbies and keeping up with the rellos. The occasional date can give you a shot of romance and really boost up your mojo. Things don't always have to end in tears - honesty from the start (I'm not looking for a relationship and I don't have time for one') is the key.
Of course dating can be scary! You might start talking about pets and it turns out they just accidentally ran over their pedigree cat and squished it all over their driveway. Or you might spray chardonnay out of your nose when laughing... Anything can go wrong at any time and then you're stuck there smiling politely through dessert...
It's worth it for the gory horror stories, you can dine out on them for months.
If a relationship is fun, like a friendship, it will be worth working on and keeping, but it takes time to find that kind of conection.
On the way you might get a few pashes, yummy meals, shags, laughs and probably a few hangovers. And yeah, there may be a few Saturday nights when you come home from another disastrous date and just want to cry because you're thinking you're a freak magnet and it's been going on for too long and you will probably be alone for eternity... or at least until your best friend wakes up in four hours and you can cry down the phone to them
And if you are stuck at home on Saturday night do something about it or just admit that you're happy infront of the TV in your trackie dacks and with a large pizza all to yourself. There are dating websites, nightclubs, pubs, trivia nights, bingo evenings, RSL clubs, festivals, dance classes, concerts, cafes, cinemas, etc. Don't just sit there moping, take action! Get out there and get amongst it!

"In a world full of lonely people it would be terribly selfish to be lonely alone." - Tennessee Williams

That's it... got u thinking bout ur own relationships with 'people'?

Chuck it all in one day!

Period 1: General Maths Advanced Test
Period 2: Business Management SAC
Period 3: Last minute study before maths trial exam
Period 4: Co-Captain interview with Head and Deputy Head of Campus
And after that, coming up in approximately 20 minutes, my Maths Method Paper 2 Trial Exam
Good luck to me... I need all the luck I can get in this world
At least I haven't got training afterwards...
Of all the days they can choose to have their bloody interview, test, sac, and trial exam... ALL OF THEM HAVE TO CHOOSE MONDAY!

Exhausted...

I have so much to write... but I don't have the time to do it. So I'll just save it for another time. K, let's start the 'tired' story. Once upon a time, ... no no no... wth am I doing? Telling a fairy tale to a preppie? *sigh* (this shows how tired I am)
Let's start with my schedule for next week. On monday, I have a test at period 1, a SAC at period 2, followed by a trial exam after period 4 *yay...* (by the way, I was being sarcastic)
Badminton started today. Bloody Cab was supposed to pick us up at 3.45, but didn't turn up til 4. Actually, I don't think it ever did. We decided to hail one after we got sick of waiting. And after training, we waited for half an hour before it turned up at WH campus. We have to call the bloody company 3 times before we get our bloody cab. I mean... how hard is it to get a bloody cab!?!? The second time we called, they say the put us down on the wrong address... How many caufield grammar school wheelers hill campus are there in melbourne? Why can't they actually listen to us when we're ordering a cab for once... For God's sake
And this is what you get if you're absent from your one particular sport for half year. Tired..tired..tired.. Took me a bloody long time to beat up the girl on my first match. Shouldn't have taken me that long to beat her, and shouldn't have won by a narrow margin only. I mean.. I'm not being arrogant or anything, but although i won my game, i felt like i wasn't playing up to my standards... it was actually way below it... When I finished my game and reported my score, the people who trained with me last season were actually shocked and asked me what happened. But it got better on the 2nd and 3rd game that I had tonight. So hopefully it'll all come back soon. Next time I should remind myself to play at least once a month rather than holding my racquet once in 6 months, not mentioning that's only because I needed to change the grip.
Anyways... I have to make a photo presentation for next friday's farewell party. I've been up til 2 a.m for 4 nights now and I can only get it up to around 5 minutes. Not mentioning that I really don't have the time to do it unless I push myself to my limits. I mean... wednesday night is gone coz I have to come to the school's bloody speech night. Saturday and Sunday night is definitely gone considering I have 3 assessments on Monday (I mentioned this before didn't I?) - By the way, what a fantastic way to spend the weekend... stuck at home studying
Anyway... I better go to sleep now... I couldn't wake up this morning coz I accidentally over-snoozed my alarm, without realising that I did it... That must've been a sign that my body and my brain can't cope with my 'sleep debts' anymore
Luckily, baddie matches won't start for another 2 or 3 weeks... So I still have 51% chance of surviving next week

Last Day

Last day of holidays! AARRGgghhh! It's not actually the last day... School officially starts on Tuesday. But for some reason, the bloody school choose for the methods trial exam I to be held on Monday! Yeap... it's now official... I HATE SCHOOL!
I don't know why, but I don't think of this term as another term of school (Does this make sense?) Anyway... I'll try to explain it. I'm kinda gonna go through this term thinking of it as ... hmm... how should i say it... as a short 'school stop' before my looooooong holiday at indo.
I mean... there's not much time for studying new stuff anyway... there's only 32 days left until 'kick off' (start of my exams that is). Which is 21 school days, not mentioning there's the revision crap and of course, not forgetting the teachers' favourite part: telling us how important revision is and happily beating it up into our heads... By the way, I think I'm gonna hate my exam time table. (I'm a fortune teller... in this case misery teller)
Anyway... I'm gonna write this just to make me feel better... after the exams, there's headstart (which I don't mind.. considering there's no tests and stuff), and then I'll be back in indo... and I live happily ever after.........
(Until school starts again)
