Early morning and I'm in the school canteen hiding away from the morning heat, listening to my Maroon 5 and busy typing away. Don't get me wrong, I'm not busy typing away homework, I'm just, being my usual bumsy self.
I've survived Pastoral Day yesterday and honestly, it was no where near as bad as I thought it would be. It was... fun. But anyway, after that "worry", it's done. I can finally just chill, sorta, till the summer holidays. I believe, after this week, it should be pretttyyy smooth all the way till I get back, to year 13. Dread.
So today I only have 3 hours of school since I don't have english today so I get to leave at 11:40am, brilliant. Then, tomorrow I have a 2 hour free because of english again and my normal one free period so that's another chilling session. No chilling session on thursday unfortunately but I'll live. And then friday, shoppinnngggg with Rach at Temple Street, TST, wherever. I need to start buying my stuff for the trip to Paris/Southern France. Yep, pretty stoked for that. So I need to get my bikini and maybe a kaftan top for the boat bit because honestly, it's quite crazy to be wearing a swimsuit (literally, although it's two piece) on a boat when you're on a vacation. I needa get into that vacation, relaxed feeling.
And after friday I have a loooonnng 3 day weekend and that's when my uncle and aunt from Sydney are going to arrive and stay over for 2 weeks. Annoying that my brother would have to sleep in my room but hey, the more the merrierrr so i'm fine with that. No wait, that came out wrong. The "merrier" part was a comment on my uncle and aunt arriving, not my brother sleeping in.
So that weekend's going to be fun and after that, I'm maybe going out again for another shopping trip with Oon Him. But I mean woah, these shopping trips are going to cost me ahem, and let's just say I haven't been exactly saving up lately. And on top of that, I've got birthday gifts to buy, school supplies, etc. etc. A nice (but going to be very expensive) scrapbook for my photos?
So then after that monday, (btw I miss ANOTHER ToK double lesson which I'm pretty happy about) then it's the usual school days, blabla which I'm sure I can handle because after that it's just 2 more weeks of school and I'm off. FOR SUMMERRR! Then again, there is no summer holiday for the year 12s this year. This summer holiday really just translates into:
- Off the normal school days so I can go back to my sleep late/wake late hours
- A month and a half of really, no holiday.
- WORK. WORK. WORK.
- MORE WORK?
Yeah, it's pretty pathetic but I'm definitely not going to spend all one and a half month working. That's, insane. It's a summer holiday, I'm going to go relax on my france trip and then maybe when I get back, I will spend at least 3 days, working, ALL day. The probability of that happening really is near impossible since I know my procrastination habits are going to kick in but hey, no harm trying.
So once I'm off from school, a few days later I'm off to Franceee! I'm so stoked I can't wait to take loads of photos, shop, practice my limited French speaking skills there? Best bits, I'm going off alone. Sometimes I just get this feeling my rents are shipping me off there for 2 weeks so that I can learn to be more independent and prepare me for next year's university life and I have to admit, I'm not exactly the most independent person in the world. I mean, I can't cook, wash clothes, yerr. But anyway, back to France. So I think I'm going to Paris and parts of Southern France like Nice? I'm not too sure of how the one week of sightseeing is going to go but I'm sure I'll have a hell of a time shopping there, taking photos. I might even just pick up more French, ah hah.
So that's basically how my wonderful life is planned out so far, pretttyyy exciting and something to look forward to. Really, that's most of my motivation now to get through with these remaining 3 weeks, it's that. And the shopping, even though I'm going to be blowing cash which I really should try and control. And then I just remembered, report grades. Well, I'm not as freaked out about it this semester because I think I will do fine even though I didn't manage to get my 36. I'm sure it will be way better than the other terms but hey, no getting my hopes up too high but that's no big deal. Sort of.
So that's about it, my update on my looking-quite-bright life so far. And I forgot to add, the year 11s and 8s are off this entire week so that's another bonus, I mean, wheeww way less crowded and noisy in the canteens in the morning, I can type away in peace.
But anyway, my school day's going to be short today, just got to bear with 3 hours of class and I'm off. So laterrrss.
