My Dad

This ACTUALLY happened 1 minute ago:
Me: Hey Dad, I got --.--
Dad: Oh dear...and I thought you were going to do well! Oh well never mind.
Me: Dad you have got to be joking. --.-- Are you kidding me? That's GOOD! Ok so it's not the 99.95 everybody thought I'd get but YOU agreed last night that if I got 49.95 and failed vce you'd still be happy.
Dad: I know...but still...(looks at computer screen) THERE 51 out of 50. Now THAT's what we expect!!
Me: That's spesh. It gets scaled up like 10 points.
Dad: Oh dear.

The Way We Were

Wow I haven't blogged in over a month! So much has happened I don't really know where to start. Well firstly, exams are over, so is schoolies (which was AWESOME), I now have BRACES (all together now: eeeew), and most importantly; results come out tomorrow! I don't actually feel that nervous...probably being a bit too overconfident, instead of bracing myself for the 90 that I won't be surprised to get. Ahhh don't have very high hopes for tomorrow BUT on the flipside, look out for me and seven other PLCers in the Herald Sun! It'll probably be out the day after tomorrow...and in typical PLC style, I'll only be in it if my enters good :P

All the best for tomorrow yr 12s!
Love, Julia

It's A Jungle Out There

Exams are driving me craaaazy. I can't wait until they're over just so I can sleep better at night.

Methods tomorrow :)

It's Amazing What You Can Hide Just By Putting On A Smile

I am so so screwed. I have officially failed both english and bio. Well I guess that's what I get for spending my whole swotvac on english even when I knew I was going to fail that. Urgh. So should have spent it on subjects that I actually have some chance of passing. But now I shall just go fail everything, like bio this morning. Which was SO bad. And spesh. Which I haven't done yet but I'm pretty sure I'll fail that too.

Think positive thoughts. Positive thoughts. Revs can save my enter score. And my two midyears. If worst comes to worst I can just do science at Melb :) No stress.

I'm On My Knees Looking For The Answer

NO MORE ENGLISH EVER!!!
No more Kite Runner, no more freaking CONFLICT and no more language analysis!!! I don't even care how I did, I'm just so glad it's over!! Wooo!
And now on to spesh. Ugh.

Happy times :)

I've rediscovered the piano. And it's so much fun!

Love, Julia

Do Not Enter

English is tomorrow! And that's not an excited exclamation mark, it's an 'oh my gosh I'm going to die tomorrow cos I only just realised it's actually tomorrow tomorrow and not I-still-have-plenty-of-time-to-study tomorrow' exclamation mark. And it's kinda dumb to try cram but I have to if I want to be able to write anything down tomorrow...wooo 25 here I come! So far, I have not done any essays to time, haven't memorised any quotes and have pretty much zero modern day examples of conflict. Ok, maybe exaggerating a little bit, but I'm still soooo dead. I figure that if I'm going to fail english anyway, the least I can do is make everybody else feel better about their english prep :) Don't worry, I'm happy to oblige.

After tomorrow I'm going SHOPPING. Yes I know, spesh and bio on monday but I'm prepared for bio and going to try cram spesh...it should so be the other way round, but at least maths has generally been nice to me over the years...But yeah I get to spend my $60 book vouchers at my favourite shop ever BORDERS, and know that I will NEVER have to touch english again! After 12:15 tomorrow, I will be a very happy girl.

And just to rub it in to all those people doing languages, ONLY 14 DAYS LEFT OF EXAMS! Bahaha languages might scale but you get an extra week of stress. So not worth it.

I really don't want to go to sleep. Cos then I know that when I wake up, I'll have to prepare for the thing I have been dreading all year. But I guess since I've already sabotaged myself enough, I should at least get a good nights sleep.

Ok gotta stop being negative. I'd probably never feel prepared for this even if I did all the practice in the world. It's in your hands God.

'Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.' 1Peter 5:7
Best advice ever.

If I actually manage to pass this...it won't be because of me.

Good luck everybody!
Love, Julia

The End's Not Near, It's Here

I love you guys so much. Thanks for making my years at PLC the best I've ever had. I'm going to miss seeing your smiling faces every morning...but I'd better not start on everything I'm going to miss or I'll make myself cry again.

Thank you guys so much for being the best friends anybody could ask for.

TO THE CLASS OF 08. WE. ROCK.

Throw Me A Lifeline

Ahahah clearly that hasn't sunk in yet or I wouldn't be mucking around in my spares.

Sorry for the extended hiatus. I'd like to say I've been studying but I try not to lie, so I won't. As far as work goes, I'm definately on the verge of drowning in it all. But even then I still don't feel stressed. Instead my mind is planning life post-exams. And geez it's going to be good. Shopping, schoolies, trip to Adelaide, road trip to Queensland, China perhaps? Though I really should be focusing on everything I have to do before then. But I don't know why I'm making myself feel so bad when all I need is a 95 to get into biomed at Melb. And that right there is why I have zero motivation to do anything.

Two days of school left. I'm not ready to leave ;(
Love, Julia

It's The Faith That Makes You Stronger

Looks like I'll be going to Melbourne.

I Was Meant To Tread The Water, But Now I've Gotten In Too Deep

Just got back from Marysville after staying one night up there. That's where I was yesterday if anyone at church was wondering...no doubt my presence was greatly missed by everybody...
Oh and thank you to the person who voted for me to fail my exams. That's just lovely. It's so nice knowing that I have such great supportive friends around me :)

Too much sarcasm. I'm going now. To study. So that I hopefully won't fail exams. Fingers crossed.

Love, Julia

Walk Me Down Your Broken Line

And so ends the first week of the holidays... I'm not yet stressed, but definately feeling the pressure. I keep procrastinating. It's really annoying...
Delete msn and facebook? Yes? No? Pick an answer on the left.

Hmm I haven't blogged in a while...
Sarah's party was awesomeeeeee best 18th yet. But I forgot my camera so no pictures...
Been shopping a bit....
I'd like to say I've been studying...but I haven't, so I shouldn't lie.
Missed the winter sleepout yesterday...was too tired and had no lift...geez I can't wait till I get my P's...

Ugh should probs try studying.
Anyone wanna go state on tuesday?

Love, Julia

I've Got My Hands In My Pocket And My Head In A Cloud

I really can't be bothered doing anything...

So Please, Use Your Powers For Good

I feel really high. I think it's sugar. Like I'm laughing at nothing. I don't understand myself sometimes.

Anyway. It's been a while since I posted pictures. So here are a few pics from Gabby's deb last Saturday. It was such a good night!!





Last day of term 3 tomorrow! Though I'm not looking forward to the holidays :( Thinking of all that exam prep makes me feel dizzy and less high, but definately still abnormally happy/carefree/energentic/hyper.

So I think I'm back in my bubble. Not completely though, more like I know what's on the outside but would rather not let anything in? Bad analogy, but I'm feeling rather untouchable/invincible.
Like I said, sugar.

Love, Julia

I Need Light In The Dark As I Search For The Resolution

Crappiest day ever yesterday. But it's all good now. Never underestimate the power of a good nights sleep and the perspective that a new day can bring.

Anyway I can't wait till Jack's Mannequins new album comes out!! And the holidays are in a week!!

Double Biology

Was freaking hilarious. A few quotes from Ms O'Brien herself:

'And the dark moth stood out like dog's balls!'

*whispering* 'Mr Poustie looks so innocent...but really he's so EVIL!'

'Aren't they cute the blue footed boobies?'

'mechanical isolation - where the genitals just don't fit'

HAHAHAHA so inappropriately funny. Well it is biology so I guess it is appropriate...in a way...actually no.

Anyway. Exams are over in ten weeks!

Love, Julia

The Beginning of The End

So today marks the end of August, and come tomorrow, the last week of school uniform, the beginning of September, the beginning of spring, the beginning of the revision period, and the beginning of the end of our school days. *sob* Everything's winding down to an end, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for it to end yet. Call me a freak if you like, but I love school. Seriously :(

The good old days.

Love, Julia

Someone Else's Dream

Grr capped internet. Can't wait till September.
BUT I can tell you, without a doubt, that this is amazing :)

HAHAHAHA

Found this on the internet:

The Chemical Engineer's Chocolate Chip Cookies
1. 532.35 cm3 gluten
2. 4.9 cm3 NaHCO3
3. 4.9 cm3 refined halite
4. 236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride
5. 177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22O11
6. 177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22O11
7. 4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
8. Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated protein
9. 473.2 cm3 theobroma cacao
10. 236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats (sieve size #10)

To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an overall heat-transfer coefficient of about 100 Btu/F-ft2-hr add one, two, and three with constant agitation.
In a second 2-L reactor vessel with a radial flow impeller operating at 100 rpm add four, five, six, and seven until the mixture is homogeneous.
To reactor #2 add eight followed by three equal portions of the homogeneous mixture in reactor #1. Additionally, add nine and ten slowly with constant agitation. Care must be taken at this point in the reaction to control any temperature rise that may be the result of an exothermic reaction.
Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer place the mixture piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm). Heat in a 460 K oven for a period of time that is in agreement with Frank & Johnston's first order rate expression (see JACOS, 21, 55), or until golden brown. Once the reaction is complete, place the sheet on a 25 C heat-transfer table allowing the product to come to equilibrium.


Oh. My. Gosh. To think that it's actually written in english.
I googled the ingrediants; they're actually:
1. Flour
2. Baking soda
3. Salt
4. Shortening (butter)
5. White sugar
6. Brown sugar
7. Vanilla flavoring
8. Eggs
9. Chocolate chips
10. Crushed nuts

Anyway, gotta stop procrastinating :P

Basically I'm Really Bored

I was on dictionary.com and an ad was on the page with a kid that looked exactly how I imagined Hassan to look as a baby:

Anyway guess what I'm doing? Procrastinating!! What else? :P Trying to delay doing this Kite Runner essay as long as possible. At this stage, I'll probably be trying to do it during double spesh tomorrow :)

Love, Julia

Bombshell

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=618463&rss=yes

How could someone keep that up for TWO years?! And how come nobody suspected?!
Insane. And shockingly sad. I love that song 'healer' :(

Three Things

1. I loathe english...hate isn't even a strong enough word
2. PEOPLE WHO HANG UP ON OTHER PEOPLE ARE MEAN :)
3. I don't understand how people can straighten their hair everyday. I tried for a week and I already cbb. Back to the messy, unpredictable half-curls :(
4. I'm turning into a rebel :O

Ok that was four things.

Tell Me How Anybody Thinks Under This Condition

I'm getting braces. For two years :(
I was incredibly annoyed. But now I'm not. Sugar does that to me. And after that mango cheesecake, two chocolate muffins and countless choc chip cookies, I have enough sugar in me for the next few days.
So if you want to tell me you hate me, now's the time. I'm feeling very mellow :)
When actually I shouldn't. Loads of homework after that wasted weekend. *SIGH* And now the braces news. I can't believe I have to go through graduation, my 18th, first year uni and most of second year, with braces. Eeeew.
Ok I'll stop whinging now. I guess if braces are the only thing I have to complain about, I'm pretty lucky :)

Love, Julia

P.S Happy hundredth blog to me :) Ahaha talk about a summer-holiday-boredom-filler that went way overboard.

Got Nothing But Time On My Hands

Wagged JWalk last night. Well not technically since I had no lift back. But yeah at least it was productive? Made nutella cupcakes and gosh NUTELLA IS SO YUM! Couldn't stop eating it from the jar :P No pics, camera dead.
Zero sacs next week makes for a very relaxing weekend. Melb Uni open day tomorrow and then Linley and her family's coming over :) Minimal amounts of homework so yay. Found this recipe on the internet I want to try out... caramel apple cupcakes. And it has nothing to do with chocolate which is good...gotta break that addiction of mine :P Not that caramel is much better. But still.
Everyone seems sick...Dad, Andrea, Julie...get better soon! And don't make me sick either :P
Good luck to everyone doing the 40 hr famine this weekend!

Love, Julia

I'm Making Plans Not To Make Plans While I'm Here

Got my statement today. A bit disappointed to be honest. I know, I know, any sane person would be happy, overjoyed in fact to get those marks. Guess that makes me insane? But I was a bit...I dunno...dissatisfied? I think that's the right word. Though it was quite amusing...doing better in chem than bio that is :P Doubling the scores though is really really dumb..cos every mistake you make gets doubled. Mmm I should be happy.
Quadruple spare tomorrow :)

Love, Julia

A Locked Room In A Tall Tower

Went to state with Andrea today, although we spent half the time eating :D Ahaha we had lunch then went to Max Brenners to eat more. Gosh it's so yummmmmm...
Dyed my hair yesterday. Total failure :P Got a haircut today...nothing major, just a trim.
I'm boredddd...should probably go studyyyy.

Love, Julia

Random Fact Of The Day:
My mum does not like being hung up on.

This Night's A Perfect Shade Of...

Yay for icecream, friends, Saturday night worship.
For long weekends and late nights.
For freedom.
For surviving the last major sac period. EVER.

I have a lot to be thankful for :)

I Officially Have The Coolest Friends

Amy G and Christine at PLC's Got Talent semi-finals.
Andrea's camera could only record 1 minute though, so not all of it's on it. But it was awesome :D

Even The Wrong Words Seem To Rhyme

I'm so dead. I have five sacs in the next three days...and not only did I not to do anything yesterday but today I bought Breaking Dawn and surprise surprise. Got no work done today either :) Breaking Dawn is weird. I hope it gets better. It seems so different from the other three books. Maybe I'm just reading it too fast.

Wow...got a bit distracted. Finished Breaking Dawn. AND IT'S PERFECT. The endings right. A bit tame...not enough action...but right :) omgosh it's ONE IN THE MORNING. I have definately not stayed up this late on a school night before. So dead. dead. dead. dead. Going to bed. NOW.

Love, Julia

I ♥ Cupcakes

Baking is so much fun. And relaxing. These are chocolate cupcakes with chocolate strawberry filling, chocolate glaze and vanilla buttercream frosting. I think I added an extra cup of sugar into the frosting by accident...recipe said 2 cups...I think I did 3...oops. Oh well. If they're really too sweet I can always scrape it off. They're for tomorrows bake day :) Everyone in our group (hopefully) is making something and bringing it to school to share...it's going to be so yummmm.


This weekends been pretty good. Went shopping yesterday and bought a belated bday present for Amy. Monash Uni open day was todayyy...I think I'm gonna make med at Monash my first preference. But they confirmed my worst fears...interviews are given based purely on your UMAT result and not enters. So. Chance of me getting an interview is very slim... Nevertheless if God wants me at Monash, I'll get in. Otherwise I guess thats not where I'm meant to be. Trust and obey right? I guess it was silly to think that getting into med would be easy. Nobody said it'd be a piece of cake.

Ah back to cake. I can't wait for tomorrow :) Results are out too! Finally!

Love, Julia

Guessing Games

So the umat sucked. I thought it'd be hard but not that hard. Oh I dunno. There were always two options that I couldn't choose between. I don't think I did very well...but I can probs get an interview based on enter score, if I do well. If I do well. Ah pressure...something to think about another day :)

Went to San Churros with Andrea and Venetia. SO YUMMM. I also got a pastry/icing bag so I can frost cupcakes better yay. I'm making chocolate/strawberry cupcakes this weekend for our groups bake day :) And also cookies if I have enough ingrediants. Ah fun. Baking's such a relaxing activity.

Love, Julia

It's Over!

The worst part of the week is over! English sac sucked...but it's over nowwwwwwwww. Only one more english sac for my ENTIRE life!! I am so unbelievably excited for the end of year 12 :D Amy found out that COLDPLAY is coming this summer!!! And we are definately going. Ahh they're so good. Tickets will be expensive though. I'm so excited! Seems like year 12 is already almost over :)

Wasted the entire day today :) Was fun though. I made mini chocolate cupcakes. They're so yum...I would post pictures but the cameras dead.

Love, Julia

To-Do List

- survive english sac
- do umat practice papers
- chem chapter 17 questions
- study for spesh sac
- write up spesh cheat sheet
- write up bio summary notes
- study for methods sac

I CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW TO END.
Procrastinated this wholeeeee week....and now am so totally screwed for english.

In Over My Head

I haven't blogged in ages...we haven't even gone two weeks in but there's already so much WORK to do! And next week is going to be absolute torture...dreading it already. English sac and umat. Umat should be ok-ish but I have no doubt that the English sac will be the worst 2 hrs of my life...the practice sac confirmed that :P

In response to Julie's posts about how I am apparently so 'hard working' (or so my mother thinks):

Julia's Tips For Keeping Parents Happy :)
- Set up messenger lock so all you have to do is press alt shift and all your msn windows disappear
- Always keep a textbook open on your desk
- Always have an essay open on your computer so if annoying people (aka siblings) come in you can legitimately tell them to buzz off cos you're working :)
- Use the internet explorer tabs to hide the fact that you're using facebook

See this is how my parents think I'm the hardest working kid ever. When really I'm always on facebook and signed onto msn 24/7 mostly on appear offline but still.
But don't do this when you have an english sac coming up or you'll fail like me :)
It's so easy to procrastinate :(

Oh and as for the 99.95? That's so not happening. I've realised the best I can do (after playing with the enter calculator for ages) is a 99.75 and that's IF I can get a 45 in all subjects...which might actually have been semi-achievable if it weren't for english. Gosh I hate english. Jump off a cliff and die. I can't believe next years yr 12s don't have to have english in their top four. So ridiculously unfair.

Love, Julia

SCHOOL TOMORROW!

These holidays have been awesome, but I actually don't mind going back to school tomorrow. I think things will be alright, at least for the first two weeks, before the english sac. Tomorrow will be good :) Triple spare yay.

Pictures!

(SUN!)

(I have a Miley Cyrus wannabe for a sister)

(In an old WW2 fighter plane)

Today was such a nice day. Shame that the sun comes out not when we're on holidays, but when it's time for school. Oh well. I got my fair share of sun :D

Love, Julia

Melbourne is Freaking Freezing

Cairns was AWESOME. It was so WARM and SUNNY. Perfect for lying on the beach and snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef which we did lots of :) It's so unbelievably nice up there. Everything's all green and the ocean's this amazing turquoise colour. Ah the tropics. It'd be so nice to live there, though it'd get hot in the summer. And there's so much to do. In a week, we squeezed in shopping at the city, snorkelling at the Barrier Reef, exploring/snorkelling at Green Island, visited endless national parks, ate sugarcane at one of the sugar mills (YUM), went go-karting, went to a wildlife sanctuary, read three books, went to Port Douglas, Mossman, Kuranda, Atherton and Innisfail, (random towns) and hung out at the resorts four pools. Ah now that's a holiday. And notice how I didn't mention homework, of which I now have a massive pile of. Damn English. Ooh and turned out I didn't need to go for a week without internet. We got free wireless at the hotel :) Except I had to use Jonathan's laptop so I only got less than an hour :( Being in Cairns really shows just how cold Melbourne is. When we got back it was four degrees. FOUR DEGREES. So my heaters been on ever since :P Probs not very good for the environment.

I saw Mamma Mia today with Glenny ppl. A pretty good movie but it's still weird how they randomly burst out singing and dancing. I love those old ABBA songs though and it was good to catch up with the Glennies.

Cbb putting pictures up :)

Love, Julia

12 Hours Till Sunshine

We're leaving for Cairns now :) I'm so excited! Finally getting some sun!

Only downside...no internet for a wholeeee week :( Oh WELL...

Have a good holidays everyoneeeeee

Love, Julia

Time For A Change?

Ahh this background is so fun and summery :) It goes with the title...which is actually so obsolete now that this has become more than something to fill my summer holiday boredom. But it still is the best time-waster ever. That said, everybody should update their blogs cos I'm really bored :)

Actually the more I look at it, the more I don't like it. The background that is.

Hm. What the heck I'll change it after I'm back from Cairns :)

I should start packing...

Sugar Hit

MMMMMM

I Hate Making Decisions

I dunno what to put on my rugby jumper :(

Options:

- Donald Duck
- J. Dizzle
- Squeak
- Donald

- Jukebox
- Julia Ceasar (lol)

Aha it's a bit late to be brainstorming now though. It's due tomorrow :D
I hate making decisions.

TODAY WAS SUCH A GREAT DAY

Love, Julia

Saved

OMGOSH. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY, RELIEVED, EUPHORIC, JOYFUL, CHEERFUL, CONTENTED, BUOYANT OR CAREFREE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

The intense humilliation that accompanies impromptu, secret-topic debating has been postponed indefinately since LAURISTON FORFEITED TONIGHTS DEBATE!!!!! So not only do I NOT have to debate tonight but technically WE WON!!!!

I have never been happier since I got my 50. Scrap that. This takes the cake.

I just thought I should share this with everybody before the euphoria wears off :)

Heehee. I can't stop smiling.

Happy June 20th :)

So today Shehara goes to me 'Today it's June 20th!'. I look at her like she's a complete idiot...well duh it's June 20th...tomorrow it's June 21st...WOW. She stared at me waiting for it to click. AND OMGOSH. THE JOURNEE OF JUNE 20TH 1792!! As if I didn't remember it! So much for the 50 :P (For those non revsies, the June 20th journee was where the sansculottes stormed the Tuilieries Palace in Paris demanding a whole heap of stuff. And no I couldn't even remember that. I spent practically the whole of English reading about it on wikipedia :D )
It's not an isolated memory lapse either. The other day I was reading something and the words 'Compte Rendu' came up. They sounded SO familiar but I couldn't figure out why...I knew it was something to do with revs...but other than that I had no clue. To be completely honest I thought it was some important person HAHAHAHAH I'm such an idiot. I googled it and then remembered (with wikipedias help) that it was Necker's account of the French finances at the time :P HAHAHAHAHHA I seriously need to reread the textbook or sit in on a revs class. I can't believe I have such a bad memory :D

Ooooh english was sooo boring today. And Morrissey came up and asked me what point I was making in one of my sac paragraphs. HAHAHAHAHA well now I guess I know what my sac mark will be: BAD. Ah I love english...NOT.

I'm so glad it's the weekend though...this week went for ages. Now there's only one more week till the holidays! And only 12 days till Cairns!! I can't wait :D Desperately need some sun. And a tan would be nice though I'll probably come back red rather than brown. I'm so pale now but yay sun in 12 days :) It's 26 degrees there these days :D

Paleness clearly evident here:

Me, Tam and Cam at Tam and Mel's 18th (plus Squish in the background - she's too dark to be seen :D )

I'm skipping special tuition again tomorrow. Yay :D

Love, Julia

Dumdidum

Far out. This is so boring. Morissey is such a bad teacher.

freetetris.org is fun but even that gets boring.

Yay 2 minutes till second period. Eew english tomorrow again.

I'm so freaking bored. Maybe I have ADD or something.

Bored

I hate English...but at least we have laptops today :) Even though facebook and youtube is blocked.

I'm bored.

This one's so much better.

The Big Freeze

That looked so fun!!! I so would have gone if I had known!

Potentially Dangerous

THE ANSWERS TO THE CHEM EXAM ARE ON THE INTERNET!!

http://vcenotes.com/forum/index.php/topic,3799.0.html

You have to register though, but it's quick. And they're not the official answers...just the answers according to whichever mega nerd posted it.

I'm so glad exams are over. I'm so tired though...drained.

Love, Julia

EXAMS ARE OVER :)

Ahh feels so good :D The gat was actually quite fun, and (nobody kill me for saying this) but chem was quite fun too? Bio was annoying and boring though... but yeah THEY'RE OVER!!! For four months at least.

FAR OUT. My phone started working again. But now it's not :( UGH. Time for a new phone I reckon...guess I can't complain after having that phone for over 5 years :P

Oooh the plane tickets for Cairns came today. Tres excited. Ahhh the thought of sun :)

Love, Julia

Gymspastics

Watch it. It's my sister's vault and beam routine for nationals that some random videoed and posted on youtube. I think her friend's vault routine is on it too.

Ahahah the beam routine. Flawless except for the fall at the end...which cracks me up each time :)

TIMES UP

Exams begin tomorrow. FAR OUT HOW DID THE WEEK PASS?
So. Not prepared for bio...AND I'M SICK!!! Had a headache yesterday and today and the brain's just not functioning as it's meant to. Spent half the day sleeping...only got one prac paper done. And I have to make a conscious effort not to hyperventilate.

*48 hours and it's over. 48 hours and it's over. 48 hours and it's over. 48 hours and it's over. 48 hours and it's over. 48 hours and it's over. 48 hours and it's over. 48 hours and it's over. 48 hours and it's over. 48 hours and it's over. 48 hours and it's over. 48 hours and it's over. 48 hours and it's over. 48 hours and it's over. 48 hours and it's over *

I'm ok now :)

GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR EXAMS EVERYONE!!

Love, Julia. who is calm and totally not the least bit anxious or nervous in any way. totally.

If Anyone Is Wondering...

(1) I'm not going to church tomorrow because the fam wants to go to Knox afterwards and shop
(2) My phone hasn't been working for the past month, so if you've called/texted, I didn't know or I would have replied. SORRY.

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

Ah, I apologise for my lack of posting recently...but if you've got midyears coming up then you shouldn't be reading this anyway. GO STUDY. (Which is what I should be doing...anyway)

OMGOSH. I read the BEST book in like the whole wide world a few days ago, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. If you haven't read it then you'll probably find it mildly strange and neurotic that I'm in love with a fictional character. But if haven't read, go do it. And then you'll be in love like me and my sister (she's twelve, has no hormones and yet is still just as in love) and Preeta and Charlene and a million other girls who have similar facebook bumper stickers. No seriously. I would let Edward Cullen bite me anyday.

Ah. I don't think I can ever get married now. Cos any guy I meet, I'll compare to EC and no guy can stand up to that utter perfection that is the epitome of Edward Cullen. I mean besides his personality and looks, he has TWO medical degrees, went to Harvard, has a photographic memory, has an IQ of 10000000, plays the piano, composes music, dances (ballroom, not gay hiphop) AND is a traditional old soul like me :) Um hello? Perfect guy much? If that's not enough, go read Twilight. Then you'll understand ;)

But it's SO DISAPOINTING...the guy that's playing Edward in the movie is NOT GOOD LOOKING AT ALL!!!! And he has disgusting poofy hair. It's the guy that plays Cedric Diggory in HP4. Seriously. Major let down. I'm so glad I bought the book though.

GOOD LUCK STUDYING EVERYONE!
Love, Julia

Release

ENGLISH SAC IS OVERRRRR
Biggest burden lifted, even though midyears are in like 11 days. I mean, I can do chem and bio. I might not do that well, but I can do it. English just scared the crap out of me. But no more english until 8 weeks :D Yay. I didn't do any work today :S So not smart. Instead I watched 'What Happens in Vegas'. Not a bad movie...pretty funny actually.

JULIA IS IN LOCKDOWN MODE STARTING FROM NOW.

Wait who am I kidding. I'm going shopping on Sunday.

Have a good weekend everybody!
Love, Julia

Another Day, Another Drama

Angela came back from nationals yesterday and she came third overall! Thats third in the country for her level, and her level is only two below the olympians :) So yay well done Pange.

Has anyone seen the 'social commenter' blog? It's hilarious, but kind of psychotic. Like, as if girls schools don't have a bad enough rep. But what's funnier than this blog is when people find out who this 'social commenter' is. Oh man. They're going to be killed. I wonder what the school will do, cos no doubt sooner or later somebody's going to tell Fern or someone. Ahh whoever is behind that blog is a very sad, sad person.

And I thought our group had issues.

Be nice everybody,

Love, Julia

Time To Just Be

Everything's happening so fast...

Monday - chem sac
Tuesday - bio sac
Wedbesday - chem sac
Thursday - bio trial exam
Friday - english sac

AND THEN MIDYEARS.

Feels like everything is just going over the top of me. I start off a day with a list of 5 things to do. And I only get 2 done. WHERE DID ALL THAT TIME GO? I swear I had three weeks till midyears. But now a whole week's gone by without me even noticing. Year 12 is half over. How did that happen?

I've decided. If could have a superpower like the ones on Heroes, I don't want to be able to fly although that would be SO cool. I'd rather have Hiro's power, and fast forward three weeks. TO CAIRNS :D ahhh sun, beach, warm weather...

Love, Julia

ARGH

MIDYEARS ARE IN THREE WEEKS AND THREE DAYS!!!

*breathe in, breathe out*
everything's going to be ok.

Let Me Just Add Another Photo To That

This Is Why I Love My Special Class

Best class ever.

The Aftermath

OMYGOSH there's so many photos of the formal on facebook. And predictably, it was the talk of school today.

Take Me Back To The Start

It's over :( But without a doubt, the best night of the year.

The limo was SO COOL

My very special special class (ahah we're all asian)

We have a year 6 graduation pic of the three of us so it seemed appropriate to do a year 12 one :)

I can't wait for the pro pics!

Love, Julia
