Oh No

Oh no no no NO D:
English exam looms so near
and damn that 2008 VCAA spesh exam I did yesterday, gave me false hope that I could do okay, but I should have realised 80% was an anomaly when I can barely get 60% in any of the other VCAA ones I've attempted sigh.

The way I feel towards English has shifted from indifference, to fear, to complacency, to panic, to contentment, to confusion, to regret, to hopelessness and to hopefulness.
And right now I'm floating between all these emotions, which is rendering me somewhat distraught at the prospect of 3 hours of non stop essay writing.
Have mercy on me.

On michaels macbook right now, my computer has finally succumbed to the virus, but luckily I just backed up all my files on my new 1.5Tb hard drive, sexy.
Now to format it and reinstall windows, a process that will undoubtedly take forever, oh well at least now I can finally install Photoshop CS5 while I'm at it, which I've been meaning to do for months now, though I hear that many prefer CS4 over CS5.

I tried using Michael's ipad just before but it I think my fingers are actually straining from my terrible grip when I hold pens. Shizen.
Ended up playing Vegie Samurai for a while aahaha

Ahh yeah, back to english/spesh/methods sighsighsigh.

Love Lisa.

PS. I finally finished reading Sherlock Holmes, jesus that book is like a thousand pages long (maybe an exaggeration)
But it was four books in one and the font on each page is incredibly condensed
Now to start on a Picture of Dorian Gray, which I've been meaning to read since year 9 and now I actually have a copy :)
PPS. I do apologise for any typos and incoherent sentences, the laptop is hooked up to a monitor at least 50cm away from where my face is and I can't get closer if I want to type simultaneously to looking at the monitor, anyways what I mean is that due to my lovely myopia what I'm seeing currently is half blurry so please excuse :)

Valedic & Last Day

Yeah I actually can't help but call it Valedic, I've said it too much now that it barely sounds right with the 'tory' on the end.

Love Lisa.

And here we go...

Yesterday, clearly I was thrilled with my first day back.
(LOL I look the same as the dailybooth picture ->)

Umm what's been happening..I really can't remember right now.
Because this huge motherbitchin' of a blind pimple is impeding me from thinking. Seriously. It's huge, I may as well have 2 chins.

Love Lisa.

"Holidays"

Emphasis on the inverted commas.

I already started these holidays, planning to make a sweet as plan and get organised.
Instead everything has been stressing me :\
And something just before dinner reminded me of the physics sac which will undoubtedly end up as the worst sac/test result in my life. And there's no point in convincing me I did fine when I know I really didn't do enough of the sac to attain half the marks
Great.
Sigh and I know I know, kick ass in the exam and SACs don't mean shit do they? Well I would be saying that but I highly doubt my physics exam will be amazing enough to boost my sac marks.

And it's amazing, I think I have successfully fought off a cold.
Because yesterday morning, I had the tell tale signs of the first inkling of what would turn into an onslaught of sick.
With many Lemsip First Signs tablets, Strepils, wannabe Centrum multivitamins and many spoonfuls of Manuka Honey (which is deliciously sweet anyways).
Plus keeping the fluids up ;D

Because all signs of sickness have dissipated in the past 12 hours WEOO :D
Okay *touch wood, should not speak too early.

Alright so yesterday was the last day of term, which means the last day I will ever wear winter uniform because there is no way in hell I will be wearing it it on if I have the option.
And I saw Daniel after school, which was so good since it's been foreverr D;

Also, reloving my DS, and my attempt to download roms was mainly a failure, because I wanted Cooking Mama 2 & 3, but only tetris and sonic would work );









Okay I just remembered what I spent about 2 hours this morning doing, sticking my purikura in the sticker book Sylvia gave me ages ago.
And for anyone who knows me, they would know 1. I've barely ever unpeeled a single sticker photo
2. I love stickers/unpeeling stickers
(quite paradoxical huh?)
So it was quite self gratifying to lay them out in place and then have them all stuck down neatly ;D

Love Lisa.

OH HELLO FRIDAY

Yeah sorry it's been a while..kinda ish.
School has been pretty good this week, but that's because there haven't been any sacs?
Or none that I currently recollect :D


Me and Angel clearly could not control our laughter :D

And aww angel if you're reading this, I would like to emphasise that the previous post was not even vaguely connected with you. Gosh woman as if you even felt bad ;D

Many things tomorrow,
Election Day
Skipping Chinese School
Michael's Graduation
Jess' 18th
WEOOO :D

MORE LATER I SMELL DINNER AND IT SMELLS BLOODY GOOD :D

Oldish photo..but I felt the urge to create a more high key black and white photo.

Love Lisa.
PS. sexiest nail polish ever (from Cath WOO)

Overdosing on Sleep

I hadn't felt as terrible as I did yesterday, in a year or more?
So much so that I gave up on my spesh sac, I had at least 20mins till the end where I just sat there willing her to just tell us to stop.
And in the end we didn't even have recess, great.

When I got home, I didn't want my parents to start being all concerned and all you go out too much you sleep too late blah blah.
So I was just like 'I have a headache'...understatement of the century. And I refused to have my temperature taken because I knew I had a fever. In the end my dad coerced me into it and no wonder my head wanted to explode the whole day, I had a 40ish degree fever.
And the moment dad saw that reading he panicked, just as I expected and wanted to take me to the doctor but I managed to talk him out of that one.

In the end he made me freshly orange juice LOL.

So I went to sleep around 4 yesterday and did not get out of bed until 11something to brush my teeth.
Then Back to sleep and I got up at 8.30 today, ate a roll and went back to sleep until 12.30 :)

Sigh and clearly I'm not at school right now.
But this can't be good, I'm not feeling that sick right now..I don't feel sick at all when compared to yesterday.
And I have sacs next week, ones that I don't even remember.
I don't get physics...besides from the right hand slap rule ahahah.

Oooh okay, have not blogged since Tuesday.
Well Wednesday was the UMAT, lucky we left earlier than needed because traffic within a few hundred metres of Caufield racecourse was terrible.
So I walked it.
The UMAT itself was so tiring, I can't tell whether it was good or bad, just average, I definitely did not understand many of the patterns but I think that's because I was so tired from the other sections.
Also I do pin some blame on the UMAT for me being sick, ha, I exerted too much mental strain and therefore I was more susceptible to catching some sort of viral cold.
Afterwards had spanakopita (google told me that was how it was spelt?) with Daniel :) Yum and it was soo good and I do LOVE anything pastry mmm.
Speaking of food, where are my parents D: I want lunch, guess I'll just eat fruit or something for now.

More later,
Love Lisa.

Badminton

Quality twin time today ;D Chilling on the matts, eating walnut log and berries mmm.
And sylvia bought me coffee during period 7, and I had to slyly get out of physics to drink it, then I decided it would go well with something from bakers delight that sylvia had brought.
And damn was that a good danish and coffee.
Reminder to self, pay Sylviah back.

Then after school was the return of badminton (it's a term 3 interschool sport) ;D
Weooo I forgot how much in love I am with that sport, or maybe it's only cos I play with Sylvia and that makes it more fun? Yeah that probably makes more sense.
But today proves how unfit I am, 10 minutes into it I was tiring, and I don't feel it now, but I can expect to have some sore arm/shoulder muscles tomorrow.

Also, currently wearing shorts, and it's scaring me, my legs have been in hibernation for months. LOL D: but once again, my summer tan has lasted, because I still have my bikini tan line.
Speaking of being in shorts, it's kinda cold, but then again I'm trained for this weather, I live constantly in like 10degree weather.
Besides when I'm sleeping, I woke up so warm (so warm hehe), it was almost too hot but not quite, so it was niiice.
And I don't know do normal people get condensation on their windows every morning? Because mine were dripping this morning and making small puddles on the window sill.
Creepy that so much moisture normally exists in the air.

Arghh last year I gymmed every now and then, and had dancing every week (I lived for every Wednesday).
This year, I sit in front of the computer and eat 100g blocks of chocolate as a snack. Great.

School was okay today, but I'm falling behind in everything eeek,
Love Lisa.

SEMESTER ONE: COMPLETE

Yeah I've always liked my over the knee socks.

I was trying to clear out some pictures from my computer and I found this
apparently taken on May the 24th 2009.
Random, yes? But this is literally what I do when I'm a hermit and people haven't seen me in 2 weeks..haha okay, not quite but close to that.
If my memory serves me correctly, the only thing I incorporated in the above is a combo of 3 different photos, shifted around, layered and duplicated. And I changed the blending of said layers.
The purplely/white background is just another photo that turned out really shit as it was out of focus and not quite of anything but a corner of my dress.

But finally it's school holidays, precious precious 2 weeks.
I wonder how effectively I will use my time :O

Right yeah, reports, somehow I averaged better in spesh than in my first methods sac.
Which is crazy because I thought I'd be around a C+ or worse in spesh :|

Love Lisa.
PS. Finally figured out who has been calling me around 12.30pm every day for four days straight..telstra! :S Why on earthh, since I'm with optus in every way possible, oh damn ;)

What More Can I Do

Must force myself to sleep soon, I can do more work in double spare tomorrow ahaha (yay :|)
I won't lie, I don't actually dislike doing work...as long as I understand it. When I don't, I want to claw my eyes out and when I do, it's the only sense of achievement I ever experience in my (sad sad) life.
The whole learning experience, to me, is umm..dare I say enjoyable?
Yeah, come on you can't be surprised that I say this, I've been on wikipedia for 6 hours in one day just looking up everything that came to mind. I specifically remember the bumblebee page.
Such is my life.



The jeep one is mad. If you don't like it, get out of my house and come up with something better.

People are just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

Abraham Lincoln

Pretty much sums up what I'm currently thinking. Things are only as bad as you make them out to be :)
People change, nothing goes as planed, it would be stupid to not soldier on.

Bad idea to turn the computer on, especially since I achieved nothing in the past 20minutes, there's still a bunch of work sheets, practise exams and english questions I promised myself to finish tonight.
Putting my computer to hibernate right now.

Love Lisa.
PS. I have to print about 20 practise exams but we're out of white paper..perfect.

< A Month From Mid Years

**11.55pm: It's cold, I'm tired and hungry. And have stayed up to no avail yet again :( Sleep calls. Goodnight my lovers.

I'm not going to exaggerate, I've done 5 hours of pure spesh today and I still haven't caught up with the homework.
I'm so screwed because this was meant to be a day of mid years study.

I hit my temple on a door frame it still hurts. Almost made a fail bet with my brother on the spelling of Robert Pattinson's last name. Lucky for me, he wasn't sure enough to risk giving me $20 LOL.
Shit, it's crazy how short/emaciated looking I used to be, just two years ago? Looking back at pictures..wow.
The summer of double beef and cheese really did wonders... :\

I'm sure you've all realised that I don't take photos as often. Well I've realised something too, I can spend 3 hours taking photos of the same thing, then another 2 photoshopping the only photo out of the 300 that I like.
It's a long process.
Oh and then there's uploading onto my photobucket. I'm getting lazier and lazier. :(

What's a good book to read?

Actions speak louder than words...maybe they do but sometimes you're oblivious until it's all spelled out for you.

It's so obvious now. Just step back and look outside of any preconceived notions. All in good time. You'll see.

Talk to me,
Love Lisa

PS. I'm pro at pretending I'm asleep. Did I ever mention that?
PPS. If you're following me anonymously imma stab you. Nah jokes, I'd just like to follow you back :)

Heaven ain't close in a place like this

[Oh no, I swear I stood by my promise, I just often save posts as drafts because I want to edit them and never remember to publish]


Aww simba :)

yeah I don't know why you'd want to see
but I would be so pumped to make formal invitations..i may have made one in a spare hour today... ;D
I will upload if I have the will power.

29/04/10 10.30pm~
You know what screw english homework.
My lang anal is already 800 words long and I'm not even half way done.
That's always my problem, it's never that I don't have anything to say, it's that I have too much.

Okay House Aths on Friday, let me give you the brief outline of the day:
-barely any year 12s came the effing lazy asses
-I was in long jump..ahhahaha and my best was 2.5m? which is shit as since everyone else got 3.5-4.5+ but god knows why they even put me in that event I've never done it before
-I was really into the whole House spirit thing that day, literally cheered until my throat hurt
-came second in my novelty team even, the 'Overhead', like tunnelball but over your head LOL
-took numerous photos which I will link here soon
-House Parties that night, not too bad, not a great turn out though, Becky and Jenny did an amazing job of organising it, such a shame to see only 30 people come














GWSC Deb:
-at The Grand in Wantirna South
-was a complete loner while waiting to go into the place, it was so cold my knees were weak and it was drizzling a little too :( ahaha
-met Jennifer Xu and danced with her all night :)
-took MANY photos with her too
-the food was good, came too late though and they took away our entrees before we even finished :'(
-watched the debs and their partners do their ballroom dances haha
-did the supposed 'foxtrot' with Allan because he had to ask a guest, but really it was just moving from side to side, kinda funny though :D
-pudding for dessert was intensely sweet
-surprisingly saw quite a few people that used to be in my chinese school class









Can't be bothered thinking anymore now.
Love Lisa.

Friday Shenanigans

So here is the story:
On Friday I planned to chill with sylvia because i have not seen her for almost 2 weeks, shit :( and I missed her like crazy.

I was meeting her at her tram stop outside Kew Traffic School, cept no one was home to drive me, and my blister was still a raging painful bitch.
Therefore had to hobble my way to the 70 tram, then limp off that to the 72 and then hop my way off that and onto the next 109.

The process took about 45mins, which is less than I expected :D

At Smith St we had lunch at Trippy Taco, I had a quesidilla and Sylvia, a burrito mm.
Unfortunately the burrito was served in a basket-like thing and the sauce dripped through the table onto her jeans.
Went to clean and came out with patches of water hahaha aww

Walked back to the tram stop. Lo and behold who did Sylvia see, Tracey and Jake also walking to the stop :O
Tracey then showed us Jake's concession card, and I'll just say, something went wrong when they laminated it.
It disfigured the photo into a hilarious almost unhuman face :D
Tracey couldn't stop laughing.

In the city we decided to visit Jenny, Paul and Cath, who were all at state studying.
Said hi to Kelvin outside of state, hadn't seen him in ages and bumped into Clement (Lemon) in state :)
We kinda destroyed their studying vibe when we rampaged into their area.

Tracey & Jake went on their way and we went on a hunt for fruit salad in MC. FInding some, we went to take some photos in our old spot ;)
The elevator there is always screwy, thank god for sylvia otherwise I would have been really spooked LOL
Afterwards found a nice cafe/restaurant(forgot it's name) but it's on the Elizabeth side of MC, had a lime and bitters & lemon cooler tea.





And since then, school has been alright, but it always is at the start of term.
Got my chem, physics and chinese SACs back. Very content with chem and chinese, physics wasn't that great but I didn't expect much more from it.
Still waiting on our English SAC ooh, I'm so nervous to see it, it really depends on whether my teacher will buy more bullshit again or realise how insanely I write about irrelevant (but not to me) references.

Love Lisa.

PS. Maybe you know me maybe you don't, just for your knowledge, I probably write twice as many posts as the ones you see, ie. that I publish. Some are boring, some are over the top ranting and others well, I wouldn't want my family seeing them if they ever happen to stumble across my blog. Yes, I am always on my guard and cautious, that's how I roll.

HOLIDAYS

Physics SAC was a bitch but whatever I'm over it.
I predict 70% if I am lucky. LOL. Looks like my countless hours slaving away over the most comprehensive cheat sheet known to man was a waste. But I wouldn't feel any better if my cheat sheet was shit, so yeah.

I hope I didn't already embed this video previously, but I saw this a while ago and still cannot get over how much I will my hair could do that LMFAO.
Okay the high speed camera is essential too BUT STILL.

Also her dad filmed this, she looks naked though, but I'm sure she wasn't..right?

ANYHOW I REALLY NEED TO SHOWER I FEEL GROTTY.
Love.

Run Away

English SAC tomorrow. I'm really starting to like this whole Whose Reality busines.
Though I am in no way insinuating I will be able to write fluently within 90mintes (do we get 90mins?)
Time pressure kills me.

Mrs Badoer was really nice today, brought us biscuits, dip and strawberries because our english lesson was planned to go over time.
Though she is ever so nice, she is one harsh marker, and quite critical of work.
But you have to be cruel to be nice no?

Our whole school photo is tomorrow morning.

I think I've pretty much completed my english cheat sheet. It's pretty comprehensive. Far cry from concise, (no shit) it's as anti-concise as you could get, I wish I knew how to cut down my thoughts.
But they just pour out of my cranium, no not pour, spill out and I can't sort them, organise them into something that makes sense.

Time to shower,
Love Lisa.

SCHOOLHOUSIN'

Wasting time. Must. Write. English. Expository.
Must. Finish. Physics. EEI SAC.
Must. Study.

Feeling quite drained, chinese school teacher told my parents I talk to much during class.
Which then dragged up my parents primary school criticim of my class behaviour. And the argument lasted forever. Thanks张老师. What I just realised is my chinese teacher at normal school and chiense school have the same surname :O Oh my.

Took me an hour to draw 10 trig reciprocal graphs. Pretty weak don't you think?

Made instant noodles witha fried egg for lunch.
Going to eat an apple now.

Goals for today:
-complete half my physics
-write an expository, email it to Mrs Badoer
-do an hour of methods
-start english help sheet
-copy out chinese

Until next time,
Love Lisa.

You've Got 24 Hours

It's all part of Tracey's master plan.

Also Chinese SAC today, it was okay, was over the character limit by 13 when I had finished D:
I think I cut enough out to be under the limit? God I hope, I have issues, I can't count continuously above 40..things go haywire and my thoughts float away :S

Wrote about my 'visit to Australia' and 'described two cities'. Fairly easy topic since she's given it to us as a practice..hmmm? ^o)
there was an imaginative..but I suck shit at those. Sure I have the ideas but I can't form them into coherent Chinese sentences.

Speaking of coherence, my english persuasive essay is probably the worst one I've done. I go so far off topic that I think she might mistake me for picking another prompt.

English Orals & Parent Teacher Interviews

FIRSTLY IF YOU DIDNT NOTICE, ASK ME ANYTHING YOU WANT, JUST TYPE IT IN THE FORMSPRING BOX TO THE RIGHT (SOMEHWERE) ---->
YOU CAN REMAIN ANONYMOUS :)

Oh Wang Bang as my nickname on my Year 12 jumper? Yay or nay?
The only other option I can think of is Lisa Pisa, but that could sound a little...how shall I put it, lame. Even though I consider it a valid nickname and quite like it, to the outside world..yeah

I'll talk about tomorrow and today's yearage later :)

Finally, no more english orals...ever EVER again.
I bet I'll start becoming wistful, missing them even. But for now, I can rejoice.
So my oral went okay, could have been worse, could have been better (but can't it always?)
As usual I stumbled across a few sentences and words, I have some serious articulation/enunciation issues.

After school I had parent teacher interviews. As usual my dad was ridiculous, not exactly in a bad way, but he and Mrs. Hill had a good old laugh about an incident at VCE information night.
But overall, everyone's comments were far nicer than I expected.

See I logically ordered my interviews from what I thought would be worst, to best. Or I tried, but I was restrained by the available times.
It went, Mrs. Badoer (English), Mr Hester (Physics), Mrs Hill (Spesh), Mrs Kettle (Methods), Mr. Nicoll (Chem), and then Mrs. Zhang (Chinese).
Our chats with Mrs Hester and Mr Micoll were both very shortlived, they were quite nice, especially Mr. Nicoll, and then that was that.

That reminds me, now Mr. Nicoll has me hoping for some sort of amazing outcome in Chem. He looks straight at me and goes, you can get in the 40s, for sure a 40s student. o_o eeep, I hope not to disappoint him.

Oh and Mrs. Zhang said I made good use of idioms in Chinese essays..I don't even consciously remember using them intentionally...

Anyhow, I'm dead tired. Dad made me drive home and pick mum up from Camberwell, which involved parking a few times. Which I realise I can actually park perfectly fine, just in the past Dad has stressed me out everytime I tried.

Random Fact
On Friday the 14th 2011 I will be 1000 weeks old.

Love Lisa.

PS. Is it weird that I'm inspired to work now but I'm here typing this?
PPS. Made the most amazing Windows 7 feature discovery...okay are you ready for it..Maths Input Panel (ahhahaah alright maybe the fact that I'm astounded by this revelation says a lot about me)
oh and Windows Journal, I've nevr wanted a graphics tablet more than I do now. Definitely on my birthday wishlist (it's been there since I was 12)

Give Me A Reason, Please?

School doesn't make sense. Maybe I haven't recovered from Luna Park yesterday but I was so out of it, couldn't retain a single thing.
Since I wasn't at school, I didn't get my second chem SAC back. But I dread seeing it, I alreayd know for sure I screwed up two questions (and there
s not that many questions in total), and I thought I'd ace chem :(

And now everything seems like a blur. I'm doing shitter in every subject than I have in any other year. What a great year to start going downhill.
Methods is okay, I just do stupid mistakes..the ones I thought I grew out of last year.
Chinese...well my chinese school teacher has lost hope in me, or if I continue at my current standard she'll probably want to kick me out of chinese school for dragging down the scores. I think I lost a fair few marks on the listening SAC, haven't got it back but it's one of those things you just know.
English, yeah I don't know, haven't really gotten back into the swing of writing, my essays are cliche and very mediocre.
Physics..physics..I really don't know about this one. I like the subject but it can take a while for me to grasp the gist of it.
Spec is as expected, just passing woo :D

4 days to go though :) The only thing I look forward to.

Our Last Cross Country

So it was the final year of House Cross Country that I decided, I would actually try this time.
The year that many of the people who normally ran the whole way, walked.

I ran maybe 70% of it, and it's 3.2km (i think?). Might not sound like a lot but really wouldn't consider myself to be fit..at all.
I don't ever EVER exercise. There was the gymming phase, but now I'm back to being lazy...the state I belong in.

Oh and I came 17th with Anya as my running buddy,. Not too shabby considering. I'm proud :)
I forget who, but someone said top 20 were in the cross country team, and then I wanted to cry. But I discovered it was top 10 or 12 hehee
The cross country team do hardocre running, at 6am in the morning, just thinking about it makes me feel tired.

Speaking of which I'm dead tired.
I am tempted to nap.

Love Lisa.

PS. I'll put photos up later..
I know I haven't updated anything in a while, school has been working me overtime :(
At least all the chem work paid off, got my first SAC back :D

Okay Okay..Alright

Today felt productive, I wasn't in my, oh no I'm going to fail life mood (which I often am in these days)
However, I should still be doing even more work, since the work load has no definitive end.

Saturday went South Melb Beach with Martin :)
It got a little windy and not so warm later into the afternoon but it was good while it lasted.


During my webcam photo taking sesh I managed to take like 3 non blurry pictures out of 123097235, the rest turned out like:

I'm so smart :)

Er now to do something, homework, read..ANYTHING :D
Love Lisa.

PS. There is a shit load of photos that I need to import off my baby (don't misinterpret, i am referring to my D60, speaking of which i want a macro lens so bad, but maybe a polarising filter should come first, since it only costs a fraction of the price), but the whole process is..irksome, especially when a have a plethora of other things to do, but i promise they'll be up by the end of the week, not that they're are of any particular importance. BUT WHATEVER :DD
