LUCKY STIFF!

Went to Newcastle to see our music teachers musical today....

To Quoth Steffie: "Lucky Stiff was excellent! Miss Botham's voice is absolutely flawless! The harmonies were AMAZING to the point where they made me teary. It was a fantastic day in Newcastle and that is pretty much all I can say because I can hardly remember what happened and I'm really tired."

Bandanarama!

Today was BANDANA DAY!

We all bought bandanas to raise money for cancer research. Amy got a creepy one with faces on it and we worked out who was who and Steffie cut a mouth hole in hers and made a bandana-beard!

We also got some WONDERFUL news which made Bridget and I very very very happy! XD

Seeing Miss Botham's musical tomorrow with Amy, Steffie, Loui and Katrina... It's called Lucky Stiff..... should be lovely.

Ugh! Just realised SCs in a week but I just can't be bothered studying!

The Things We Do For...... Cash!!!

Today I spent FOUR HOURS trudging up and down Maitland High St; going in and out of shops asking the same damn thing:

"Will you give me a job?"

It was exhausting!

I was however, successful and now have to drop off about 40 copies of my resume to various businesses. FORTY! THATS FORTY OPPOTUNITIES!
And also forty chances for rejection. =(

I really hope i get a job or two because I AM SICK OF BEING BROKE!!!

It'll just be a pain in the ass doing the daily 2 hour bus ride. XZ

Ugh! Science tomorrow, haven't studdied, will probably fail miserably. =(

Also, Saw UP today. It was lovely and very, very sad! =D

Examinations and Enlightenment.

Examinations: Unfortunately, due to the sadistic nature of our teachers, our end of year exams commenced on the VERY first day back at school. So after two weeks of insanely busy but thoroughly enjoyable holidays, I had to spend the early hours of Monday morning cramming for Australian Geography and PDHPE. Neither of which I actually care about of course but my profound fear of failure does lend itself to panic sometimes... On the whole I think I did okay.... which means I probably failed.
I then had singing, which was really cool because I learnt more of one of my german exam piece and am finally starting to get the technical stuff down.
Then had to briefly visit the DELIGHTFUL Rutherford IGA which i swear boasts the biggest range of condoms in the southern hemisphere!
Spent Monday night sleeping, dying my hair (pic soon) and eating Encillatas! Yum!
Tuesday I had English and Religion. In English I wrote a story about World of Warcraft Addicts and Religion was cool cause there was a find-a-word! Double English was bludgy so i wrote the guest list out for my party! On Tuesday night my family went to the gym while I crammed for maths. Something I continued until 2:30am!!!
We had our Maths exam this morning and I think I did okay but during the exam someones phone kept going off and they wouldn't let us leave until someone owned up for it. Liam Allen ended up handinghimself in, but I think it was Jade. Then we had collapsed classes for 4 & 5 and I drew Louis Armstrong. I went home at lunch and got to sit and watch The Boat That Rocked (which is awesome!!!) while eating REALLY good hamburgers from next door. Was verygood after all the stress of Maths.
Then I spent the evening making invites for my after party, which I still don't like, and talking on MSN...

OH AND WATCHING JOHN SAFRAN'S RACE RELATIONS - which was very wrong but very, very funny!

NO SCHOOL TOMORROW! YAY! Elective exams are tomorrow and mine don't have tests this time! So I'm going to either go summer job hunting in Maitland or bake cookies, depending on when i wake up! =P

After that I only have to survive my science exam and I'm done! lol. Can't Wait. 

In Other News...

• I REALLY WANT TO SEE WHIP IT! and that new Heath Ledger movie!
• I realised toight how much I REALLY like that boy.
• I need more episodes of Glee!

Enlightenment: During the last three days of holidays I was invited to attend the Rypen camp, run by the Rotary Camp. At first I was very hesitent, the idea of spending three days with people I'd never met before didn't sound too fun! BUT IT WAS! It was basically like retreat but not quite as nice.  The first day was really weird because no one knew each other but by the end of the second day we were getting along fine! I met a LOAD of awesome new people and it really helped me refocus on what really matters -especially at this time of year an this point in my life. I'm really glad I did it. My favorite things were singing, spacejump, building newspaper cubbies, the team challenges (like the spider web and the decoder challenge), the general socialising and BOARD BREAKING! WE GOT TO SMASH THEM! IT WAS AWESOME! After it was all over I was very happy but very tired. It was Lovely. ♥

Late Night Ramblings. Live from my mobile.

do you ever get the feeling that youre getting left behind? that life is going too quickly and you just cant catch up? thats how i feel right now. its strange. all my friends are out there living; getting their licenses, having sex and getting into relationship that seem more really than i can physically comprehend. and me? im almost 16 and a half, have no license, my virginity and, as much as i hate to admitt it, so lonely i could die. where did i go wrong?! i keep trying to change things but i never have any energy! i want to be pretty and everyday i hate myself a little bit more; more than people understand; but everytime i try i run flat! no matter what! i want to get my licence but honestly im terrorfied ill fail and i keep trying to practise but when i do, i panic and fail. WHY CANT IT JUST BE SIMPLE!? As for sex and relationships, i am pathetic. the disasterous ending of the closest thing ive had to a relationship (ergo, like a boyfriend i didnt actually like) has only confirmed that i fail at humanity... this in hand with being minorly obsessed with an ex-foe is in short, shit. i dont see how i can have these feeling for someone and they not feel anything in return! some people have suggested he feels the same but i refuse to believe this. soley because it what i want more than anything and i know that there is no way on earth he would like me back! how could he!? i dont even like me! it hurts too much to hope. to add insult to injury, my voice is playing around and being verrrry unpredictible and not being able to sing make me feel worse than anything. WHY CANT IT JUST LET UP ON ME!? I JUST WANT MY LIFE TO BE RIGHT FOR ONCE! is it that much to ask? xoxo Aly
