Final stretch

One week left. There is almost nothing to do at school. The final week will be the longest stretch out of all 4 years at high school. With nothing to do time goes by rather slowly. I've already run out of things to do...
The final stretch is the time where you look back on the years and remember the best times. Make the last week a blast, you'll only get that chance once. Enjoy the last week with your friends before you go your seperate ways.

Movie girls

If you stereotype a girl from a chick flick or any high school movie what do you see? Pretty girls, nice hair, makeup, nails done and some - nearly all - have some form of inappropriate clothing. To me it's not a great influence on girls in high school because that's really untrue. Some try to look like girls in movies or act like them because it's "cool". "Cool" actually isn't cool, in the movies it's pure evil. Makeup from movies is done well and these days is very overdone in high school... I mean really, it's just school?...

You can take things out of movies but personalities are one thing along with clothing choices and makeup ideas that should not be taken out of a chuck flick or high school based movie. 

I don't mean to offend anyone in today's post and am sorry if it comes across like that or has offended you. Deepest apologies. 

Mistakes

You learn from your mistakes in life, it's the only way you can learn and improve. You can also make mistakes bad habits and they never leave and you can't change them. I've made mistakes but I've now made the same mistake twice in a row now and am scared it'll become a habit... This mistake makes others hurt, me feel bad and anything beyond bad and sad... Others can say it's okay and things will be right and try to help you change but their words don't do much, sometimes they just feel like doubt and a lie. 

When you make a mistake, realize where you went wrong and don't do it again. Sometimes if you make certain mistakes more than once people can get hurt. Ever heard of The boy who cried wolf? People won't believe you if you do it too many times, they'll just think you're lying.  

Count down

The posts start again.

Any important event or just an event you're really excited or nervous about you start a count down. You may not realize at first but that's what you do. I did one for my birthday, going to China and now I'm doing one for how many days I've got left at high school and graduation and formal. I finish school next Friday, 10 days. It's the sort of event you're excited about but also sad about. The other two on my list, formal and graduation are sort that make you nervous but also excited. 

What do you count down to? I know one everybody counts down to, Christmas! (That's in exactly a month.)

Apologies

Sorry there haven't been very many posts this week... I've had a busy week and will start blogging again tomorrow.

Now what?

Sorry there hasn't been a post the last 2 days...

So all my assessment is over for the year and I still have two weeks of school left. There is still school work to do but what's the point, it doesn't go towards anything. Some people might stay home but that's just as boring as school. Push through the last two weeks and then you've got free time until next years school year starts. Don't fall asleep in class though, you may be able to do that on like the very last day.

Finishing off

This is the last week of assessment for me at high school. Lots of studying for lots of tests. It is the last chance you have to push yourself to get that work you haven't handed in, in and pull yourself together for the best grade possible. Don't complain because once this week is over there is no more assessment, just two weeks of very little work. (Actually, 16 days tomorrow is how much time is left at high school.) You get two weeks of talking with friends and slacking off and the best part; no homework because the teachers have already given you your final grade.
The week only has three days left, it's already half finished or half started... Depends, is the glass half empty or half full?

Post stamps

I've had this package sitting in my room for some time and today I decided to open it. I was expecting pictures but along with those there were a whole lot of post stamps attached to the tops of letters and envelops that had been cut. They were from Australia and Britain. Everything inside belonged to my great grandmother, it was her collection of post stamps. The coolest thing about it though was it was all air mail! It brought back memories but that has to be the best collection I've ever heard of. The stamps back then looked really cool.

Limits

There is a limit on everything you do. The limit is yourself, no one or nothing else. Everyone has a set limit of how much they can take before their temper is at it's fullest. At times it feels lower than others and other times it feel higher but it's always the same' it just depends how much of that one thing you can tolerate. I can lose my temper pretty quickly but trying to keep the lid on and not blow your top is the hard part. Every person finds different things annoying but it may not just be something or someone that annoys them, it could be feelings inside of you reach the top and any emotion will set them off.
Try really hard to keep a cool around people who annoy you or things you find annoying, the cooler you are the more you will tolerate.

Lovely visit

It's nice catching up with people you barely see. I caught up with family friends today and it was lovely to see them. I won't tell you the story but the son now needs help for the rest of his life. They have a hard life but seeing them makes my day. I leave every time with tears in my eyes. Knowing what he went through and has to forever takes a piece of your heart. It's hard on his family but mine too as they are so close.
Be careful if you have a licence and drink or go out with friends.

Night time visit

My dad works a night shift and tonight we surprised him with a visit and dessert. We gave him a call to ask him where he was and then pulled up along side him. It must get pretty lonely sitting in a car all by yourself for the whole night so some company and ice-cream should make the night better. I don't get to see him much but it was nice going by to say hi. Wouldn't you agree that that's the best way to have dessert. 

Practicing for assessment

In every class you some form of assessment. Assessment comes in all forms and my favourite would have to be playing a song. Band or music class would have to be the best by far. No worksheets - except for when you do theory which is only 3 times a term - and the only homework you get is practice your instrument at home and assessment is a playing a song. All my class time is spend playing music. That's got to be much better than maths and english.
Pick a song you want to play, practice it and play it well. Band is the easiest class and the class you'll have the most fun in. Who doesn't love making up a funny tune or putting a bunch of notes together; that may or not sound good...
Music is another form of art. Are you an artist waiting to be discovered?

A nap

Sorry there wasn't a post for yesterday.
Those nights you don't sleep you often tend to get tired the next day. You don't do school work or think well when you're tired. In the breaks you get at school take a nap. It's not sleeping but by resting you can concentrate better at school - maybe. If you fall asleep in class your teachers get annoyed and if you fall asleep at lunch time get a friend to wake you up.

Not who you think

Looks can be deceiving, no one is really who you think. It's like judging a book by its cover, you don't know what its like until you open it up and read it. A person may look innocent, be really nice, sweet and lovely but if you get to them they are an entirely different person. Everyone has two sides and they only show one, the other is kept a secret. A person has different personalities for different occasions. For example a person acts differently at school to the way they do at home.
A persons hidden side is normally their dark side. It's a hidden side they don't like showing.
Every person has more than one side. Threy are not who you think they are.

Fading

Those feelings you have for someone don't always last. Most people call love in school 'puppy love' because it's more a crush instead of truly loving someone. My feelings for someone are starting to fade and are now nothing more than just liking the person as a friend. When you think you really like someone you think you're in love. You might be or you might not. What do you do when your feelings go from being really strong to mild or weak? I feel guilty but it's not something I can control... Most of all, how do you tell that person?
The person will always hold a piece of your heart, they'll take it but you gave it to them. I know the person I gave mine to has.

Final touch-ups

Nothing is never really finished; you can always find someway to improve something. The thing you can always fix up though is a house. Not so long ago my dad moved in with his girlfriend and they slowly things have been getting done. The only things left are the garden and moving some furniture. Even after those get done they'll find something that needs improving or replacing.
Old houses constantly need fixing.
Name anything and think of a way to improve it, I'm sure you'll come up with more ways than one.

Theatre

Tonight I went to the theatre to watch a friend. He wasn't in the play, he controlled the sound. Sure the actors are the people who act the play out but there wouldn't be any play with sound and lighting. They spend the performance up in the bio box. I'm not entirely sure what a bio box is but the show wouldn't happen without one. It could be a profession or a hobbie. It may sound geeky or nerdy but its actually really cool.
Next time acknowledge what they do, it isn't as easy as it looks.

Pool patry

Today it was about 30 degrees, a perfect day to go swimming. It was a great way to cool down but spend the afternoon. A great group of friends too. They did push me under and hold me there, also stole things from each other and threw us in the water. Ever used a boggie-board in a pool? Although there are no waves to surf it's an extra large hand to splash water in a persons face. You can also tip the board over so the person falls off.
If you like to push someone under the water make sure you pull them up.
(If its sunny also where sunscreen.)

Working in the garden

That big space out the back or front of your house is the garden. Do you keep it looking nice and tidy or just let it grow? If you have pets, especially dogs they tend to ruin your garden. They dig holes and run through the garden beds. My god does exactly those and had ruined my garden. My job is to fill in the holes she digs and now redo the garden beds. I've been shovelling dirt and tanbark for most of the afternoon. It's a lot of hard work and isn't all that fun.
Training your pets might be a good idea.

Family copmany

If you have siblings I'm pretty sure you've been to school with them. You tend to ignore them and are mean to them, I know that's what I'm like to my sister at school. She has a slight problem with friends at the moment - quite different to my problem with friends - and sits alone. Today I didn't let her sit alone, I made her come sit with me and my friends. She didn't talk or interact with us, she sat there and drew. I don't mind what she does, but it's nice knowing she is at least sitting with people. I do care about her and it was nice having her around today, I don't normally see her at school. She seemed to enjoy it, maybe she'll hang with me again tomorrow?
Yes you see family everyday at home and school is the time to get away from them, but it's really nice to see them and hang out with them, you get to see a different side to them.

And just letting you guys know that I might be stopping my blog if I can't find or hear about things to blog about. I really don't want to stop blogging as it's a fun hobbie, but I might have to... I don't want to beg but please comment bellow about things that happen to you - it might be useful for someone else.

What's your story?

Sorry there is only a post every two days at the moment... I do forget but honestly I don't know what else I can blog about with my teenage life. It's starting to repeat and get really boring. I don't want to keep writing about nothing and what I have to write about will make you fall asleep. I'll turn the blog over to you, what goes on in your teenage life? Boy or girls problems? Friend issues? Family issues? Bullying at school or just school in general? I'm now interested in knowing what your teenage life is like. You read mine and as I said, it's repeating. My goal for this blog is not to repeat a post or topic I've written about before and that's getting really hard now as I've done almost 240 posts.

Not every teenager is the same, so what's you story?

Comment bellow.

Together forever

Sorry there was no post for yesterday guys but there really isn't anything going on to blog about. Today was the 75th anniversary of my school. There were students from school when it started all the way back in 1938. The highlight of my day though was seeing two people. There was this couple there today and they have the sweetest story. They both went to school together in 1938 in year 7 and are married and still am.
When yu really love someone I guess it stays true.
