How to hole yourself up for HSC cramming

1. Kick any offending siblings out. NO SIBLINGS ALLOWED.
2. Make sure you have plenty of water at hand. At least six water bottles. You're not planning to move for the next couple of days.
3. Have lots of snacks handy. Wasabi peas are recommended - keeps you awake and fills your tummy.
4. Clear out your table. KNOW where your books are. Assign spots for stationary, notes and blank paper.
5. Wearing comfy clothes? Warm enough? Check.
6. Have the HSC date and count down staring at you. In. Your. Face. This is a must.
7. Download all necessary study material off the internet ie past year papers, HSC online notes, whatever. Everything must be stored in the hard drive, ready for the next step.
8. This is the most important step: Pull out the wire connecting your computer to the modem. If using wireless, switch your wireless radio off. You MUST refrain from going online at all costs.
9. Double check that your computer is offline.
10. Study! Study! Study!

This is a ten step process that I have devised for a person like me. I find it quite effective for at least a couple of days. And then I come up gasping for the internet like a drowning person deprived of air.

Only two weeks more until my HSC....Until my cramming will be over...Until my life is over.

Cheers!

Procrastination

It's a bad idea, but who can help it when the HSC is only 2 weeks away? O.o  Yep, it's a really bad idea...anyway, I've put up a new template. After the HSC I'll fool around a bit more and actually be creative. Because this template isn't mine. XD It's all thanks to Lorelei and the blogger team. I'm doing my part of the thanking, because I'm sincerely grateful for all your hard work. Please continue your brilliant work and share the joy! Ehehe.

Cheers!

Inappropriate things make me laugh

Maybe they aren't that strange. It's just that sometimes what I laugh at doesn't seem that funny to other people. But seriously, what isn't funnier than the words "Bad juju"? Every time I hear someone say that, bubbles of laughter threaten to rise and consume me from within. Somehow, those words don't convey that sense of urgency and danger that it is supposed to be associated with. Say it. "Bad juju!" Doesn't it sound a lot like scolding a very cute pet named Juju? It just like how I say "Bad Bobby!" when my dog bites my slipper (which has, over the years, been downgraded to his chew toy). In reaction to that, my dog sits down and just looks at me. Yeah, we trained him well. >.<

Funny thing number two: interactions between guys and girls. Especially when guys try to woo girls. Regarding this, I'll admit that I can seem a bit mean because I find almost everything about it funny. Especially when a guy is doing it to me. Hmm, no wonder the attention has dwindled over the years...Jokes, jokes, I laugh because it's how I deal with stressful or surprising situations - it really doesn't happen to me that often. But let me explain myself. I am not a person who laughs on purpose to spite people. That I am not. I laugh because the slightly sadistic part in me automatically reacts to the masochistic part of the whole process. Basically, I don't think when I find things funny.

Anyway, wooing involves throwing away pride. And unfortunately, the modern girl doesn't automatically fall down to her knees when they see a guy do that. An example would the group of guys I saw singing to a girl eating her lunch. They were actually pretty good; backup singers, guitar, drums, the whole gangbang. But the girl had this woe betide expression of "Leave me ALONE" on her face. Everyone saw the guys and went "awww". I saw the girl and laughed.

I ran off because I immediately felt embarrassed about laughing. The guys were trying their hardest. The girl was trying her hardest to put up with them. Then this intruding stranger laughs. Aiks. Point is, I found that whole situation highly amusing.

Something else I witnessed that was highly amusing (to me):

Girl: Tell me you love me.

Boy: I love you.

Girl: Shyte! You're supposed to say "no"! Now you've just made the whole break up harder!

Boy: ...

I bailed again. Had to laugh out loud somewhere more private or face getting more dirties and be called a meanie again.

If I exchanged positions with the girls in both situations, I would be laughing. Somehow, I think that my reaction would have probably offended those guys more than their prospective partners. Maybe it's a good thing that I'm NOT those girls after all.

Dear Buddha, I am sorry for my habit of laughing at in appropriate things. I will try my hardest to merge with the crowd and conduct the behavior appropriate to the situation. Today, I have already managed to not laugh when I saw a ball hit an inattentive person in the head. Instead I ran up to the person, inquired after his well being, kicked away the offending ball and gave him an icepack.

And then I turned away and laughed.

Cheers!

Noooo, slow down!

I can't believe it. My second last week of high school! I only entered high school yesterday! This is absurd!....

I had my first farewell party in Maths today (there will be plenty more to come). It was a gorgeous spread, and I have to thank Mrs T. for being so generous and buying everything. We had our little gift for her too, a massage coupon from Red Balloon. =D It was so nice having her as a Maths teacher; she's a wonderful person.

Mr. M will be leaving his English class behind for NYC tomorrow as well. We tried to give him a farewell party, but he was having none of it. All we did was look at trial questions. Well, what I really want to say is:

Thanks, Mr. M. I will most definitely miss you. I wish you a wonderful time on your holiday marking our last minute essays on "BR" and "AYLI". I wish you'd pass your farewell speech to Mr. P so that we can still enjoy a roaring time without you. Even if you did, it just won't be the same, because the absence of your presence will be like a gaping black whole in the universe that is school life.

Sigh. It's spring and I'm as melancholy as an elder tree that has lost its leaves to the coldness of autumn.

Cheers.

Another Late/Early Post

I'm going to beat my previous record and post at 4.34am now. Whoopee!

I'm currently taking a break from filling out scholarship application forms. Not that they are due tomorrow, but they are due to be validated by the school tomorrow. Oh dear.

I have a dragon's egg! ------------------------------------------------------------------->
Please click and view!

It's another all nighter. If I keep this up I'm hoping eventually I'll never need to sleep again (at least for several days at a time if not for the rest of my life). That would be the best ever. More time to be serious as well as goof off.

Cheers!
