    TWO

    Two down.. one to go... and it's the most dreaded one...
    Gahh ran out of time today for BRM... pretty much missed out one question worth 30 marks... =(
    But I'm pretty sure I passed... same goes for Database... probably just.. but I'd be happy not having to repeat the subject ^^.
    I'll have to start studying for programming.... soon.. XD
     
    YAY sitting out on the swing chair is awesome...
    but I got bitten before I applied my trusty OFF! =(
     
    I don't know what I wanted to write.. I just felt like blogging...
    blog blog blog

    Work it... out

    Ok I've got it all worked out thanks to Billy =].
    SHIT... just calculated my scores again for Networking..
    I think I just got a Distinction.. ... instead of a Credit... JUST...
    That's what the scores on Cisco is suggesting too, XD it says 75.1 LOL.. I hope I'm not jumping the gun ><".
     
    If that's true.. then I need to at least get two credits...in BRM and DB cause we all know I can't get a credit in Programming ><"
    and a pass...in programming to just keep my credit average...
    or if I fail programming, I need a distinction and a credit in BRM and Databases to just keep my credit average.
     
    I really really need to pass programming.. cause I don't want to have to do it again ><"...
    but I'll have to HD the exam... gahhh.. how am I going to do that?!!!!!
    That's getting all the multiple choice questions right and then 3 quarters of the coding questions right.
    DAMNNIT... they better make both the coding questions easy.
     
    On another note, I enjoyed by birthday immensely...
    Wendy's Secret Garden is an awesome place, and it was heaps fun walking along the Harbour Bridge...
    I'd love to ride my bike on it one day too =].
    I was sad about Dippin' Dots though =(... KPower closed early.. 4pm my ass XP~~~.
    XD ate woodfired Pizza.. haha cause my first choice wasn't possible at the time.. I wanted to go Blackheath and eat the nicest fish and chips.
    Yes I'm a simple girl... with crazy ideas hehehehe.
     
    Orthodontist appointment in less than twelve hours... I'm going for red and black =].
    Then off to Billy's with Rowena to study for DB ^^.
    Uni on Tuesday to study DB with Joseph and who ever else turns up...
    DB exam on Wednesday
    BRM exam on Saturday
    and Apps Prog exam the following Wednesday...
    and then... FREEDOM ^^.
     
    Night!
    Helen ♥
     
    P.S. Yes there's alot of "just"'s, lol I'm not in a very stable position right now; let's hope this changes for the better, next semester XD.

    Good Day

    I really should be sleeping right now hhehe.. but Gossip Girl's taking an age to buffer..
    and I want to get as many shows as I can out of the way XD.
     
    Today was a good day =D, minus the hot weather.
    It was really fun to hang out with out with everyone, free on exams and watch Paranormal Activity,
    wasn't scary.. lol though I did jump XD, kinda turned into more of a comedy lol from all the commentary, but it was all good.
    Hopefully I can pass the database exam, lol it would make me ecstatic, same goes for programming and business requirements modelling.
    Speaking of uni... I like my timetable for next semester.. lol and my second semester timetable even more =D.
     
    Friday was also a good night, went to the Halloween party as blue leopard,
    and true to form I did something eye catching.. this time it was the hair... love that coloured hair spray XD.
    Though the music was a bit.. ehhh... not what you could really dance to... but all up it was a great night cause we let loose =].
     
    Gahh it keeps buffering ><""" whyyyyyyyy?
     
    So this is the end of this blog...
    but there will be another one following for two very special people =].

    Dressing Up ;D

    The BiG Haunted II party is coming up...
    'Tis a Halloween party... which means dressing up ^^.
     
    Gahh I don't know what to go as.. it's been a year or so since I last dressed up properly... ahh good times.
    Should I pull out all stops and wear something themed around a garter belt, pull ups and corset like belt? ;D
    Or go as something more innocent?
     
    Hrmms...
    lol Rowena wants me to funk up my hair.. XD but there's no way I'm walking to uni like that...
    I'll do it in the first years lounge if someone helps =D.
    Let's see, I've already dressed up as:
    a tame vampire, in a card set, as Tuxedo Mask, as kids, the Joker, european barmaid, a blue plastic cat, a pirate, school girl, three random blue outfits XD and a weird looking lion.
    Hmm maybe a banshee.. I wonder if there are any sexy Banshees.. LOL just joking.
    But I really want to wear my garter belt, I haven't dressed up in it yet XD. BWAHAH a dead hooker? XP
    Or maybe something kinda Victorian or Elizabethian.
    Ghost? LOL
     
    I need help!!

    Long end and new start

    sOoo since I can't shower cause my mum is, I thought I'd blog =].
    So my long weekend, Sunday went Michael's party... lol let's jst say it was surprisingly unexpected.
    Lol I know I usually blog in more detail, but I think I'll hold off for now.
     
    Spent Monday studying with Joseph, we actually got stuff done,
    admist the facebooking and ebuddying. So it was a good effort.
     
    Tuesday, first day of uni... GAHHH.
    Lol I woke up early to catch the train with Rowena and co., XD almost missed it.
    BUT YOU KNOW WHAT... I LOVE EDWINA WONG, cause she hung out with me at uni ♥.
    It made my day, lol plus we skipped stuff hahhahah.
    Got to meet Samatha and met up with Lawrence, he crashed my databases lecture with me ^^.
    Now to the downside of the day... got my programming marks back... failed, BUT it was a better failure than expected.
    AND FAILED MY DATABASES TEST =.=", so yes.. two failures in a day ><, plus our Cayan Grill burger coupon wasn't being accepted anymore ><".
     
    Haven't left such a short blog in a while, erratic =]P.
    Night y'all.
     
    Happy,
    Helen ♥
    10/4/2009

    The beginning of the long weekend

    Whooo Hoooo... Friday was pretty awesome, lol I wasn't that crazy but let's go through the day.. really fast;
    Met up with Rizwana first for lunch and then Brandon called me to tell me he agreed with my terms mwahahh ^^ and told me to hug EVERYONE...
    which I kinda did, lol I hugged everyone I would hug and was familiar with.
    Then Tharun, Yasaswi, Preetham and Preet came.
    So lunch was spent eating KFC, since we had coupons, we bumped into Jane and Feng.
    As we were leaving Naman and Charlie came, so a quick hi and buy and off we went to drop Preet off.
     
    Lol Adem finally came and we hungout for a while and went to Yasaswi's work Oktoberfest.
    I managed to guilt trip James and Joseph into not cancelling Friday night... I LOVE YOU GUYS.
    LOL we almost were caught, which caused us to be late, a quick little stop over had to be made, and we were on our way again =].
    Started off in the Pavillion, then went off to China town, watched James play the drum game and then back to the Pavillion again.
     
    It was pretty awesome, lol my knees and feet hurt from all the dancing XD.
    Am I an alcoholic for downing my drinks? XD eveyrone was like wahhh what are you doing Helen =.=".
    One of the many highlights of the night, YASASWI'S NINE guys, followed closely by EMILIE'S TWO OR THREE GUYS... nice guys nice ^^.
    Unfortunately James left early, and Joseph slightly later than James,
    so they missed out on the trains these girls were pulling, but I'm sure there'll be a next time XD.
    Bumped into Daniel too cause Emilie knew Miki and then we rode the train with Kevin.
     
    Saturday night was pretty awesome too, I'm sorry I missed your birthday Ben ><".
    Drove to Hornsby with family, in the rain, so I'm pretty awesome, still alive =]P.
    Had dinner and then went to James' place.
    Lol I suprirsed Phillip and David by joking around with them like how I usually do with my friends,
    I had decided they were old enough.
     
    Talked to Nathan online too, lol he was 'tipsy' or so he says, lol I WANT TO SEE him when he's drunk XD.
    But hopefully I won't be a target when I do. Stupid Nathan =.=".
     
    YAY MICHAEL'S TONIGHT ^^ and then Uni on tuesday lol, I have a databases exam I haven't studied for yet ><",
    and then lunch with Preet, Yasaswi, Brandon and maybe Nathan ^^.
    10/2/2009

    XO!

    Fun day, went driving, lol only got beeped at once, so that must be a good thing right? XD.
     
    I didn't end up going to the airport, probably cause I slept too late last night XD.
    So instead I increased my driving hours by driving my mum and myself to DFO.
    Then drove to PPS to pick up Holly from camp, and walked to meet up with Yasaswi and later, Preet =].
    Quite a good day, but I still haven't gotten the presents I'm suppose to, soon though, soon.
     
    GAHH I don't know what to ask for for my five points... lol I have an idea... but would it be too crazy?
    It goes something like... me texting Brandon about it =]P.
     
    Can't wait till lunch and our night out ^^.
    We shall get crazily drunk and dance the night away,
    ok we won't be that bad, but I feel like letting loose XD.
     
    I will see you all soon, if I'm still alive after tonight =]P.
    Helen ♥
     
    P.S. I'm still a little confused, but I'm moving from one direction to another. What I want and need has become clearer. 
    10/1/2009

    A cause for celebration

    Well, today is the 60th Anniversary for the People's Republic of China,
    and sadly that's kinda the extent of the knowledge of my heritage =.=",
    I'll ask my parents when I wake up later.
     
    But to today's adventure,
    met up with Yasaswi in the morning to receive the picnic goodies,
    then went to UTS to meet Sheng for our group assignment and learned of the FREE CAYAN BURGER OFFER LOL.
    Meet up with Chi with Sheng at KFC and got our first burger of the night.
    We were joined by Sheng's friend Raymond, which we probably amused a bit with our strangeness lol.
     
    AND THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY,
    watching "She's Out Of Your League".
    Oh the comedy was so funny and original, it had me rolling in my seat and Chi had tears of laughter in her eyes.
    The only bad thing was that the story dragged a little bit at times,
    but overall, IT WAS AWESOME.
    I loved it =D, so now you must all watch it, it's one of those feel good comedies.
     
    It was pretty funny how they had the whole rating system happening.
    I've kinda just only learnt about it, so it was interesting watching a movie based on it =]P.
     
    That feeling's gone, and I'm happy that things can remain relatively normal,
    now just to quell other waters and I'll be as right as rain.
     
    Airport tomorrow, but big bang theory =]P,
    Helen ♥
    9/30/2009

    Sleepy

    A nice full day today,
    Woke up early in hope of meeting Yang, but he forgot about me and went to uni early ><".
    So I waited at the station for 30 minutes, or so, for the 9am meet up with Amy, Tijana and Melda.
    They got there on time, bought tickets and off we went to the NSW Art Gallery, lol we were all so tired and craving seats.
     
    Arrived at the gallery, admired the artwork, read the description and took some photos, which I will eventually upload.
    Btw it was much more interesting than I'm making it out to be, I'm just kinda tired and want to finish this fast =.=.
    Then walked in the direction of Townhall, Amy was so cute, she had a little map draw out so we wouldn't get lost, awwww =].
    Ate at Macca's and Subway, I got a deluxe cheeseburger and a foot long meatball sub, ahhh it was so satisfying feeling full ^^.
    Later left Amy, Tijana and Melda for my driving lesson, while they went to watch Fame.
     
    Had a driving lesson at 3pm, which really meant I got in the car and didn't start driving till 3.30pm.
    Sigh~~ I can't reverse park properly, it comes and goes, lol I need to be more consistant, and my decision making is horrible,
    plus my positioning of the car when turn is bad too, lol I'm usually blocking traffic =.=".
    So there's quite a bit I have to work on over the next few weeks before I go for my driving test.
    Let's hope this all eventually becomes natural for me.
     
    Finally met Yang afterwards, caught him as he was coming back from uni,
    had a nice little chat, but both he and I had to run lol so I walked him to his bus stop,
    as I said to him "You're the woman and I'm the man, so I've got to make sure that you're not violated" XD.
     
    AND THE LAST EXCITING POINT OF THE DAY... I GOT A TENT! YES! and I finally got my Anaconda club card thingo.
    BUT I GOT A TENT ... and that's the important thing.
    NOW... to drag people to come camping with me.
    I don't know, Chi and I were discussing once that we should do it for our birthdays, but she might've changed her mind.
    Plus if we both invite our friends, the people might outnumber the resources, sooo more on that later.
    BUT I'm definitely going to go camping before the end of 2009.
     
    Lol I actually have a list of what I want to do before the end of 2009,
    it goes like this:
    - Western Line Station Photos
    - Mt Annan (DONE)
    - Olympic Park Bike Ride
    - Manly Bike Ride
    - Ruined Castle, hmmm maybe I can combine this with camping ^^.
    - Grand Canyon, the one in Australia XD.
    - Giraffe Coat Stand, I've been meaning to make this since last year ><".
    - P's, Soon, very soon XP
    - Hornsby to Berowa or Berowa to Hornsby
    - Fishing/Boating
    - Lake Parramatta
    - Job, lol I've got to fix up my resume first XP.
    - Bookshelf
    - Go to Via Alley and Treasure Society
    - Birthday Camp
    - J4G Picnic Surprise (DONE)
    - Memory Box, in progress ><"
    - Maths/English Tutor, lol I'll call them eventually.
     
    HAHA so much I want to do, and only three months to go... I'll do it, just you watch XP,
    and I'll drag you all with me ^^.
     
    Sleepy,
    Helen.

    The Weekend =]

    Here I am blogging on word…Monday, 28th September 2009, 12:08pm.
    I would’ve been on the internet if my peak time wasn’t so near to the capping limit, or something along those lines. So this post won’t be up until 12am.
     
    Last few days have been hectic, lol, managed to pump out enough cards for the picnic, do a little bit of food organising and had some trouble with the bus tickets, but we managed to get everything sorted out =], so it was all good. HAHA until the day, lol we missed the first bus, which resulted in a 30 minute or so wait for the next one and then we filled up the bus, we had 36 people =]. But other than those few minor troubles it was all good, I think a majority of people enjoyed the day, or at least they pretended too XD, but you really can’t ask for anymore when you’re organising stuff. I just really wished I had more of a chance to talk to people and catch up, but that only means we’ll have to do something again, soon…ish and maybe on not such a grand scale.
     
    I’m still in pain from the day, my right arm hurts and my leg too, my voice was a little horse that night and I almost lost it, but I found it again so it’s all good. HAHA I wonder if I’ll just be remembered as the little asian girl screaming at everyone.
     
    Most people seemed to click really well, so I’m really happy with that, that means next time things won’t get so awkward or all over the place. Was I really looking that stressed that day?
     
    On a different note, watched An Education with Chi, Melda and her sister yesterday. It was really good, I can see how it won the cinematography award and people’s choice award at the Sundance Film Festival. Have some horrid looking photos of me and good ones of Melda, so I shall upload them soon.
     
    Meeting Preet now, actually I need to be out the door.
     
    Happy and sore,
    Helen
    9/22/2009

    La la la

    YES! Approximately half way done with the surprises.
    I'm liking most of them so far lol some are just ...ehhh... hehe.
    I should give myself a pat on the back, almost doubled what I originally had.
    OMG I just realised what else I was suppose to do =.=".
    Damnit I hope that'll be easier than this... it'll mean that I'll have to finish all of this by tomorrow night...
    then start on the next surprise.. and I need string too... hmmm.
     
    Lol freaked out today about my pasta recipe.
    I couldn't find it in my unfilled cookbook.
    Luckily I used it once for Food Tech, so I had it on disc.
    Lol now speed up the cooking time.
     
    I hate this stage of uncertainty, if it's not one thing, it's another.
    It would be so much easier if you could draw it out of a hat and it would stay that way.
    HAHA but then again, you'd cheat and only put in what you want, but at least that would narrow things down.
    All over the place now =]P.
     
    Lol guilt trips are fun... but oh so annoying... means I must stay in limbo till it passes.
     
    Wondering,
    Helen ♥
    9/17/2009

    Almost time

    YES... and I have finished all my assignments for this half of the semester and I only have one tutorial/lab test tomorrow.
    Ok not really that much of a happy yes since I know I failed programming.. but that just means I'll have to work extra hard the second half of this semester.
    Wow almost a complete year of Uni.. hahah who would've thought that I'd have this much drama in a year....
    and now that I think back on it, I've always had some kind of drama or other every year... but it's usually spaced out...
    This 3 quarters of  the year has been quite a rollercoaster.. hahah I'm kinda glad I went to an all girls school.
     
    I really can't wait for the Thank You Picnic, we're really going to have to do some HARDCORE organisnig and planning,
    the numbers for it right is so much more than we expected and it's really going to challenge us, but we've done it before and we'll definitely be able to do it agian.
    Plus we do get a week so I'm going to put as much effort into as I can without drawing away from my social life or education. LOL usually the social life wins, but I really want this to be special so, fingers crossed. =]
     
    Ooo had my first experience of staying overnight in the First Years Lounge, Building 10, UTS.
    I really liked it, haha it was different and Uni's kinda relaxing when there's no one around.
    I'd really like to do it again.
     
    Maybe I had an inkling of what would happen, but I didn't think that I would actually happen.
    And I don't know now... I'm quite confused, but I won't do anything about it until I can understand.
     
    Last day of uni in a few hours... I wonder what the day will hold.
    Hehehe we're suppose to do Brandon's make up... I forgot to text Rowena about it... so I'll bring some along.. and hopefully I can wake up early enough to text her to bring something too... or maybe facebook Miranda. We'll see heheheheh... photo time =].

    8/24/2009

    Quick

    Lol here's to making sure I blog more often.
     
    Went to see Glow worms in Saturday, had heaps of fun lol since I wasn't the one driving hahah; I slept the whole way =D.
    Spent time out with Holly on Sunday. Lol I killed two birds with one stone, spending time with Holly and scoping out places, so I'm pretty proud with myself.
    Off to Macquarie tomorrow in the afternoon, so I'm going to MAKE myself wake up early to do a bit of studying and pianoing since I have a lesson in the evening.
     
    GAHHH I want to watch Coraline already... maybe thursday... since Uni will be done for the week.
     
    Monthly dinner this friday, yay!
    Still no reply for the crusie... you'd think they'd want to sell tickets =.=".
     
    Ooo and I discovered yesterday that Virgin lets you access transport info, weather and truelocal for free. SCORE! I love virgin mobile even more now ♥u♥.
     
    Need to get started on that Business Requirements Modelling Assignment, general notes and studying.
    Where's the database mini quizzes.. I want to get it over and done with!
     
    Lol no meaningful blogs today, time for shower and then sleep!
    Helen ♥
     
    P.S. I've got to remember to look up accommodation and entertainment information for the Christmas holidays, time's trickling away ><".
    P.P.S Ooo all the photos are up-to-date too... lol so I'm not too behind in things as much anymore... well internet-wise anyway, now just to focus on studies and piano HAHA
    8/12/2009

    Any time

    Ten past one am is a good time as any to update my little blog.
    Hahah just when I said I'd revive my little 'ole blog here, events TORE ME AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER...
    Ok not literally tore, since I was on msn, ie, firefox, facebook, random internet sites and hotmail...
    but tore me away from proper social contact, if you can even call this that.
     
    Anyhoos, update;
    • Got dumped as you can tell via my poems and general wishy washy behaviour/lack of updates.

    • FIRST SEMESTER HOLIDAYS WHICH WAS AWESOME, I spent time with heaps of people, worked for a day, got sick, spent some more time with people and then spent the rest of my time with my family.
    • Had a little self-reflection, as I tend to do during these times.
    • Went a 'little' wild, it may be mild for some people, but for me it was kinda reaching wild, though I've probably done worse-ish

    Tuesday are a bitch, cause I have uni from 12pm till 9pm, thankfully I have one, one hour break and one two hour break. So I guess that's okish.
    The rest of the days, Wednesday and Thursday, both start at 12pm and end at 3pm. So overall I'm pretty happy with my timetable =].

    Can't wait till Sunday, spending time with family again, HOPEFULLY, fingers crossed we'lll go to Chocola and then Imax to pick up our gift vouchers, dinner and maybe LNC... if we can find it XD. But I can't wait ^^.

    Ooo meeting up with Jonathan one of these days. Lol Haven't seen him since the beginning of the year, so it'll be fun to catch up.

    Gahh so many people I miss, and so little time to catch up.

    But we'll leave that till next time.

    Year of the OX

    Hello there once again,
     
    This was the year of another great change... from High school to University, from single to being in a relationship and from long to short ( I never seems to be able to keep continue growing my hair XD).
     
    I shall try and keep this concise and see what I end up with.
    As you can guess I passed the HSC, not with flying colours, but good enough to still be able to do what I want, IT!
    Oh yeh, in the end, I went hiking by myself in the blue moutains, which was exhilarating ^^.
     
    I can't really recall what exciting things I did before today.. but there were plenty of events, which I will let remain forever unknown, well at least online anyway. I guess if you check out my album you can get a rough idea.
     
    Let's see from single to being in a relationship... I'll let you figure that out on your own, since I've hardly ever named names, but it really won't be too hard to guess.
    I love you mushroom! ♥
     
    And from long to short, that's in reference to my haircut. Yes I have cut my hair again, it was actually getting pretty long this time round... but I really needed to cut it since it felt as if I was getting weighed down by some past events that occured before my chop. I feel a little crazier now =].
     
    I'm suppose to mention chi here.. HI CHI!!!!! we did spend time in the holidays... which I guess was fun... funny enough though it wasn't as much as I expected, damn you chi for being a hermit XP~~~... but worry not, we've spent more time together since then... horrible I know =D.
    WE'RE GOING UNIFEST ^^.
     
    OOO I almost forgot to mention, we (Chi, Yasaswi and I) have created a facebook group by the name of bush hiking to highlight all the fun hiking adventures we've been going on.
    The very first event we went on was one of the trails from my birthday hike and then the second event was on St. Valentines day were scaled the Watons Bay to Bondi, coastal walk. Unfortunately we haven't hiked again recently, but if the weather permits us, I'm thinking of arranging another expedition ^^. Either near Campbelltown or Berowra, that's kinda like two extremes =D.
     
    Exams are creeping up, but thankfully I've only got two.. which consist of 30 MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS.. how awesome is that??? AWESOMELY AWESOME! lol.
     
    I miss EVERYONE, and this blog is really erratic. I seem to have lost my blogging thumb?
    I wonder what the second half of the year shall hold.
     
    See you around,
    Helen
     
    P.s. I never ended up taking the photos I wanted to take. I shall do it soon.. I wanna dress up ^^.
    10/28/2008

    To whom it may concern,

    It's been a long time, lol a very long time since I last updated.
     
    I'm currently in my HSC period and will be for the next 2ish weeks, though after Thursday I'll basically be doing nothing, well besides studying of course lol, cause my next exam isn't until November 13th, lol the second last exam on the last day of HSC (Chinese finishs one hour after us, so we're not last, yay!). Two more exams to go and I'm home free.
     
    Okies now time for updates.. let me consult my trusty calender ^^...
    well from the 27/08, yes I did for Vinyl shopping and I spent like $70 on records XD.. so yehs, not good lol
    That weekend we, Alice, Marcia, Chi, Claire, Celina, Peiling and Terry went to the open days for UTS and USYD, though we weren't together the whole time, it was quite fun.. tehhehe got free stuff^^. Sunday after went to the Record Fair in Parra, spend like around another $20 on records.. lol but it hasnt' become an addiction yet, so rest assured =].
     
    The month of september was quite jam packed, well for a HSC student anyway, where we're suppose to be dedicating ALL our time to study.
    Went to the ParraSip Awards to support Preet and eat food, Dressed up one last time for our last High School Mufti Day, the theme was Villains and I was the Joker, apparently a bit scary lol. We, Marcia, Chi, Nikki and I, performed in the Year 12 Concert to raise money for something, I'm not sure what so that's probably not good lol. We went to all the open days that month, UNSW and Macquarie. The weather was horrible for UNSW it was raining and windy, really really windy, Macquarie was alright. I also completed my UAC preferences so I'm all set yay! Now I just have to get a good UAI ><. My Dad went to China for my cousin's wedding and he brought back a guitar and a Graphics Tablet ^^. I spent the Moon Festival with my mum and Holly, lol we took capitols which I will upload eventually, I don't think I uploaded it, I can't remember. Also went to watch the 'Garbage Warrior' with Chi, free movie courtesy of WWF.
     
    The last days of school were basically a bludge, we got pulled out of class a lot to practise for our Graduation. Thankfully I finished the Year 12 Graduation DVD on time, though of course I would've loved to add heaps more stuff but we only had a 5 minute time frame, which really suck, god I had over 4500 photos, it was hell to sort through, LOL and it's still sitting in my computer. We also performed again for the Year 12 Graduation, we as in Alice, Claire, Bahar, Marcia, Chi and me, so that was quite fun. Graduation was awesome, there were heaps of people crying and afterwards Alice and Chi came over to my place and we just watched 'I know who killed me'. We went to Jamberoo for our Year 12 picnic, the weather was pretty crap it was raining =.=", oo and I called Seamus that day cause it was his birthday =]. The Friday after graduation, Alice, Julie and I went to the state library to study, like always it took us forever to get there, and afterwards we took Capitols, which I will eventually upload =D. And that concludes the Month of September
     
    Now for October. Basically thoughout the holidays I slept and I slotted in some study time, though not a lot lol. I stayed at home most of the time, mainly cause I would get up when the sun set or well after that. Only places I went were to Parra Library to pick up a book and to Amanda's 18th =]. OO I also went out to pick up my 'dirty thirty' diesel jeans ^^, they were only $30 ^^ and they're limited edition too.
     
    The 16th of October is when the HSC began and my subject was up on the chopping block. IT. It was ok I finished everything so hopefully I'll get a good mark, English was the next day and I finished everything, though my creative writing was really lame. The Monday was the second paper of English, gahh! I didn't finished Gwen Harwood, which is usually my best essay, but fingers crossed it was good enough. Then I had a three day break between English and Legal, Legal I hope I did ok in, I finished everything lol though I know that I got the natural law question wrong XD. Mathematics was today, it was quite horrible, lol I was zooming through the first few questions and then the rest was like -.-" I just hope I pass, gahh I can't fail maths or I'm screwed. I have my English Extension on Thursday and then Society and Culture on 13th November. Afterwards there's Katie's party and then Formal, I've already got my dresses, no there's no mistake in my use of a plural lol, I ended up getting two dresses XD, oo and I need shoes.
     
    SO that's basically it. No idea what I should do for my birthday. Damnnit I wanted to find an obstacle course and just go crazy, but there's none near by and they're expensive too lol. Let's hope I think of something, I wanna do something extreme and crazy. OH and I WANNA GO CAVING!!! but I just need a car and money lol, so I'm almost set to go.
     
    I wonder what crazy and fun things Chi and I will get up to, since we're the only one's left lol.
     
    Yours truly,
    Helen
     
    P.S. We also watched 'Fly me to the moon' for free after Jamberoo in IMAX =]

    Second week of trials

    OMG I SURVIVED ENGLISH ADVANCE AND ENGLISH EXTENSION...
    I feel the relief lift off my shoulders ^^.
    XD sigh I didn't finish both papers, but I did as much as I could.
    Bladerunner and Brave New World was so bad XD
    HAHA and in the break time Alice and I hardly got any studying done.
    It was just like us preparing for legal, there was a crowd of pigeons and all we did was laugh.
    Well we did read over our essays a bit
    LOL Nabonita said that we were more carefree than her...
    I ended up writing like 11 pages or something.. and I still didn't finish ><
    short story was like 5 and so boring ><
    Let's all hope that I had enough value in it.
    lol my hand started tingling afterwards.
     
    NOW ONLY I.T. (information technology) TO GO!!!!!
    I'M GOING TO KICK EVERYONE'S ASSES!!!!!
    in a nice way of course XD
     
    I feel like celebrating... maybe I'll go on a hike or something, or shopping or just sleep in XD
    aww Rachel's already gotten her formal dress.. and I still don't know what I want let alone where to start looking XD...
    Something long I think... though I'm probably going to have to get it adjusted.
    I long something with a corset, but ONE I can't afford it, or maybe I can. and TWO I have nothing to hold it up XD!!!
    ahh well wish me luck, in I.T. and in getting a formal dress.
