First Week Back
February 7, 2009 at 6:01 am | Posted in Life, school | 1 CommentTags: school
I have survived my first week of school.
Let’s look at the statistics:
Run ins with a ticket inspector: 1
Home groups with Mrs Doubtfire: 5
Classes in air conditioned rooms: 0
Average Temperature: 32 degrees
French Teachers attempting to teach legal studies: 1
All in all, I think it’s been an alright week. I still can’t decided if I made the right decision though.
Something To Talk About
January 23, 2009 at 10:09 am | Posted in Life, school | 2 CommentsTags: Break-up, dinner, maths, school
I hate holiday homework. As if I actually needed another reason to hate my school. It seems I got one in the form of paper and the threat of detentions. Lucky me!
On the bright side though, no more maths! Forever!
Well, maths classes at least.
I actually saw my friends at the education department have put out a bunch of ads trying to promote maths. Us English nerds really are a bunch of delinquents who’ll amount to nothing. At least I’ll own a couple of cats.
I would give you an update on my cat, but I don’t think anyone cares, so I won’t. My dad on the other hand has become more cat obsessed than me. I didn’t even think that was humanly possible.
In other news I was talking to a friend on facebook who kept asking about the break-up. Like he needs to know all the goss. I am not looking forward to school. It’ll be like when we first went out all over again(people asking questions, not anything romantic).
Wow, I’m really not coherent when I’m hungry(because, you know, I totally am when I’m not). 9pm and still no dinner. I’m gonna go and eat some delicious low fat food. Yum.
Days Likes These

…are fucking horrible.
I’ve had one of those days. One of those ones that makes you think getting run over by a truck would be a much better option than getting up tomorrow. or the next day. It’s been so crappy, even my attempts to de-crappify it have backfired.
I had two exams. The French was ok despite the waiting around. The media one was not. For a subject that I like, the exam was bloody painful. The feeling in my left hand still hasn’t returned yet. To top it all off the music auditions were going on next door.
Then I had to wait to audition for chamber strings. EPIC FAIL!! It was horrible. I can’t play all that well at the best of times so you can guess how I am at the worst of times. To make matters wosre, I ended up spending an hour at school just for that when I could have gone CD shopping(study).
I thought I would try and undo this crappiness by going to safeway, buying some CD covers and fixing my pirate CD collection. They didn’t sell them. Tried newsagents. didn’t sell them. Then I studied, realized how behind I am in English. Got hounded by my parents and sister and contemplated joining the circus.
Anyway, I’ve decided to buy CDs. The Bawdies and Glavegas. I think I;m going through a retro-but-not-really phase.
Also, You have to see this video. It’s 1000 kinds of awesome.
Tuna In The Brine

Today I studied.
It nearly killed me. Sure I ate like 7 chocolate biscuits in the process, but I did it. I managed to study for three albums(a time measurement of 10-15 tracks). Of course I still had to find ways of entertaining myself. So I studied while wearing my Dr Martens in an attempt to break them in. And gain a new blister or 3 along the way.
I can’t sit still!!
Anyway, I’ve decided that I need to put all my pirate CDs in proper cases. I’l probably become obsessed, I think i’ll wait til exams are finished. I got two new CDs yesterday, Midnight Juggernauts and Tokyo Police Club. Haven’t listened to all of them yet but what I’ve heard so far is good.
Also, I think i need a bigger mp3 player. My music collection is ridiculous.
Bass, Gym and Other Things
August 30, 2008 at 10:13 am | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a commentTags: Bass, Double Bass, Gym, Life, music, school
I”m come to the conclusion that bass guitar has something against me. Well, okay, I have something against it. I’m so used to double bass that the whole sideways thing freaks me out. Oh, and frets. Anyway, I think I need lessons. In a big. Tried explaining this to mum. She decided that I can have ONE lesson and after that I should be fine. I want to move to her planet, where you can learn an instrument overnight. I can play guns of Brixton by the clash though. Very badly, mind you.
I had to go to gym today. My mum is extremely enthusiastic about gym. She’s developed a “if you don’t go five times a week you’ll get type 2 diabetes and die” attitude. Which is great if you’re a gym junkie. I however, am not. So when I told her I’d rather stay home and play double bass and then walk to cash converters because it was (at the time anyway) a nice day. She looked at me as if I had grown another head and told me that I could walk to gym if I wanted to. Then she went on a rant about how much easier it is to go to gym without taking me or my sister. When she was the one that made us join in the first place. It’s not like we had a say in the matter. Anyway it resulted in an argument and I ended up having to go anyway. This is the same women who kept saying I didn’t play double bass enough. Remind me never to become a parent.
I had course counselling yesterday. It was alright. They told me not to do maths. I can’t complain. Jackson brought a huge folder full of work and reports with him. It’s a fifteen minute interview for god’s sake.
This is my open mind index on last fm for anyone who cares.

Maths And Other Disasters
August 25, 2008 at 10:17 am | Posted in Uncategorized | 1 CommentTags: Friends, Life, school
My friend Jackson is a funny one. He’s strangely intense about things. It is almost impossible to tell if he’s being serious or not.Some strange things do come out of his mouth and I often find myself hoping that he is joking or at least being sarcastic. Sadly he is usually dead serious.
He’s the kind of guy who goes on about how smart he is and how much he studies and how many practice essays he has written. Yet when it comes to the tests, he gets a B at best(not that there’s anything wrong with that but with all his bragging it is pretty funny).
We do share one thing in common though: an incredible lack of mathematical skills.
We both do general maths together. While I attempt the work(usually while listening to music,mind you), he draws imaginary countries in his book. In the past he has asked me where to locate capital cities etc. And yes, he was being serious. Anyway today in maths he was reading through a book about jobs and interviews etc. This led to the following conversation:
Maths Teacher 
in think Asian accent) what’s wrong with you jackson?
Jackson: I’m doing something that is more important than maths. I’m planning my future.
Maths Teacher: You’re planning your future in my class? In my class?
Sad thing was, both of them were being serious…
An update on the school situation: I didn’t get into the nerd school. Slightly disappointing but maybe it’s for better. Also, I wish my school would stop hiring incompitent English teachers.
Sounds Like My School…

Fight Apathy…Or Don’t
August 13, 2008 at 9:16 am | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a commentTags: apathy, Dr Phil, homework, laptop, school
Today was a bit of a nothing day. It wasn’t good, it wasn’t bad. It just was.
I hate nothing days. I always feel like I’ve been short-changed. at least with bad days, they’re bad enough for you to want them to end. And they give you something to mope about(any excuse to lock myself in my bedroom and listen to the smiths). In all seriousness though, days like today kinda suck in a boring, beige kinda way.
I’ve become really apathetic about school lately. Not that that’s anything new because I’ve never really been enthusiastic about it. I’m just caring less than I usually do. I used to try and get my homework done before the due date, now I wonder if there’s any point. I know what I’ll probably end up doing(journalism of some sort) so I’m basically filling in time that is better spent with Doctor Phil and my doona.
Maybe it’s just the uncertainty of next year that’s getting to me. I’ve applied to a schools I really want to get into. But it’s a selective school and I won’t find out until October. This is driving me absolutely insane. And now I’m applying to other schools with all these letters and reports saying how much of a good and diligent student I am. I feel like one huge let down. I’m not a great student. I can bullshit well, and although that might help me in said possible career in journalism, I don’t think it give me entry into any schools. At leat not the ones I want to go to anyway.
And to top it all off my laptop is buggering up. Not that it’s the end of the owrld and i’d hate to sound like a wingey emo teenager, but it is frustrating.
