goodbye holidays.

the winter holidays have finished so fast. this sucks. my parents and brothers have been in thailand, while i decided to stay home, so i'm living with my nan...fun. she's generally cool, but extremely annoying. first of all she drags me around to all her little commitments. today's the first day in 6 days where i've actually been home, for the past 6 days i've literally been out from 11 AM to midnight. my holidays are WASTED. last week she crashed into my dad's car, which is always fun, and yesterday i had to go to the hospital for an appointment and the hospital is in parkville, it took 90 minutes to get there (usually takes an hour), because she didn't trust her GPS. then after the appointment it literally took 5 hours to get from parkville to carlton, when it should take 15 minutes at the most. i swear she has alzheimer's because she was saying that we've only been in the car for 10 minutes for the whole 5 hours, and she was literally driving in circles, claiming that she's never been on that street for 5 hours straight. then it took another 2 hours to get home because we were caught in the dead middle of peak hour traffic.

i have school on monday, which i'm dreading. i've literally been doing homework all holidays, i'm actually doing homework right now (apart from writing this). holidays are meant to be a break from school, but i seriously do just as much work, not to mention daymap (student portal thing) never works on weekends or holidays, even though people need it more on the weekends and holidays. so i'm not sure if i'm finished all my homework since i wasn't at school on the last day.

i just can't wait to leave school. 15 more months and i'm freeeeeee!

holidays!

it's finally winter holidays! the past few weeks have been so slow with exams 3 weeks ago, and then just waiting for these dang holidays after exams. i got my report back and i've averaged A in english lanugage, B- in maths, A+ in religion & society, B in legal studies, B in music performance, and A- in psychology! yes! i did a lot better than i thought i did. but i got an E- in music for one performance because apparently i was singing in a completely different key to what i was playing on my guitar (probably caused my them nerves), but my teacher also said that i kept perfect tone and pitch throughout the entire song despite the fact i was playing guitar in a different key, and if i was playing in the same key i was singing i'd get an A+, but she gave me an E-, that i don't think i deserve. she also said that it's a "rare" talent to be able to do that without training, yet i was literally 2 marks from failing.

i got a new phone case yesterday...POKEMON!

i've been sick all week with no voice. i had a sore throat on thursday and friday, it went to my head on saturday and sunday, and on monday i felt perfectly fine...until i started talking and nothing came out! i still don't have a voice and it's been 6 days. i went to the doctor on wednesday and he said i have chronic laryngitis, and it won't last longer than a week. so i'm expecting to wake up tomorrow with a voice. i've never lost my voice like this before. the first time i ever lost my voice was at the beginning of this year, and it was barely for a day. weird.

but i'm so glad it's holidays! and i'm most exited for next friday, because my family go to thailand for 12 days and i'm not going! and i'm seeing les miserables at her majesty's theater on july 9! so exited! 

idiot teachers.

so i seem to have had a really bad day today. first period i had legal studies and i had an outcome, which went really well, but we got our marks back from the last outcome and i got 40%! which means a re-submission is required. i failed because of lack of detail. it was expected, so it wasn't that bad, but i've redone it and i'm going to hand it in as a draft tomorrow just to be on the safe side. but my teacher kept me in for the entire recess, which sucked because i didn't get to eat so i had to resort to eating in math class in period 2.

then period 3 came along...i had religion & society. my teacher is a priest who is probably the least priest-like person you'll ever meet. he's rude and constantly tell me and my 2 friends in that class that he hates us. so i had an outcome due today in r&s, it was on personal religious experience (something that i'm very passionate about) and it came out to be 4,398 words...yup. my teacher didn't accept this. i've cut it down to 1,850 words, but i can't do anything more than that, but my teacher won't accept that either. on the criteria sheet it said minimum 1,200 words, but kids in my class were doing 1,300 words and he was still saying that it was too much. HE DIDN'T FREAKING SPECIFY ANY MAXIMUM WORD LIMIT HOW WAS I MEANT TO KNOW?! he's basically asking for exactly 1,200 words. i can't possibly do that, so i've just re-submitted it as 1,850 words. i literally tried so hard and put so much effort into that, and then i'm told i have to remove 1/3 of it. his reason for not wanting more than 1,200 words was because he can't be bothered reading them all. YOU'RE A TEACHER IT'S YOUR JOB!!! but apparently he's a taxi driver on the weekends too...and an ex-cia member...priest, teacher, taxi driver, cia...hmm

so basically today i failed one outcome because of too little detail, and i failed another because of too much detail. my r&s teacher is a little idiot.

i can't be bothered

so lately i just can't be bothered. and by lately, i mean in the past year. the only difference is that i have to put effort into school this year, last year i barely tried, barely did my homework. i even failed english both semesters. i have a homework/study schedule, but i decided not to do anything tonight, because there wasn't anything urgent, and i only had a few hours of sleep last night because i was trying to chase a dang mouse out of my room until 1 am (we're infested!), and then i lay in my bed all night being all paranoid and "seeing" mice everywhere. i even saw them in mid-air at time...stupid brain!

my family are annoying the crap out of me, as always. we're always fighting. and my brothers are literally the most annoying little idiots to walk the planet that won't leave me alone even if i hit a plate across their head (that actually happened once). i feel like i'm just not happy.

but what is making me happy is that my aunt/god mother had a baby! i have a new little cousin, this would be my 6th cousin on my mum's side (we don't really see my dad's side). my mum's family are very, very close. we see each other almost everyday, and always on the weekends for lunch and dinner. my cousins are like my siblings, but i actually like them because they're all 7-16 years younger than me, so basically they view me as an adult. they also play nice so when i babysit them, i'll let them stay up late. haha!!!

homework sucks!

so i'm going back to school tomorrow after autumn break. the problem is...i barely got a holiday. i literally spent the majority of everyday doing homework. i can't seem to understand why we spend 7-8 hours a day at a school doing school work, then our teachers give us 3-4 hours of homework to do that night, and 10 hours of homework over the weekend, and at least 3 hours per day of homework to do on the holidays. ihe holidays are meant to be a break from homework and school work, yet we do just as much!!!
