So the last time I wrote a proper blog entry was 3 years ago, in the middle of my working holiday in Canada. Since I'm nostalgia-ing away on Sals, might as well write this up before another 3 years pass!
It was a once in a lifetime opportunity, I stayed for about a year working seasonal jobs, and went on some crazy ass adventures. I bought a minivan and inflatable mattress, and basically did a solo trip around USA's west coast living it up. Lots of hiking, eating, got some tattoos, sometime
I've been slightly putting off writing this blog entry for some reason, but here it is! Me and my adventures in Canada, so far I'm nearly 4 months in with 2 weeks until the ski season finishes (ie unemployment). If I thought life in Australia was wild, boy was I in for a treat. There's so much that has happened and it would take days to write everything down, so I'll try keep this one somewhat short.
I was pretty keen on leaving Australia, not gonna lie. I felt like I didn't have muc
So, life has gotten a bit out of hand since the breakup, which was about 6 months ago. I hate that I keep referring to my life as if it revolves around that event but, it'll do.
I've been thoroughly enjoying doing whatever I want whenever I want without feeling guilty, probably the best part of the single life. One of these was playing games - she hated me playing games and I often would lie to her and not-so-sneakily do it anyway. So in recent times I've been spending a lot of my free time
Welp, I did it, about 3 months ago. It was heartbreaking. We were both still in love. But, after we patched things up at the beginning of this year (see last entry), uni started up again, and we fell back into the same limbo. It was the classic case of not prioritising each other, and getting complacent. I couldn't bear with the guilt over my obsessive thoughts of 'should-I-should-I-not', so I did. It was unexpected, especially for her. I'd been with this girl for 3 years, and it was all over wi
I've hidden the last entry but here is the Part II. For those who haven't seen it, the very short version of the issue at hand is: problems with gf.
So we had a very big discussion involving a lot of tissues in a quiet little park. All our problems were laid bare and we tried to find solutions/compromises for them. In the end, we decided to try our best to work through our problems this summer break, and if it doesn't work out, then it doesn't work out. We've got a lot of good things planned
AH it's been too long since I've written one of these.
For those not acquainted with my 2000-word rambly rants over pubescent highschool drama, I direct you to just about any 2012 entry in this blog. There is some absolute GOLD if you can drag your dicks through the very jagged, painful glass that is 15-year old me. If you don't feel like educating yourselves on the inner thoughts and passive-aggressive fights of me, some extra-juicy ones are here and here. By the way, I had the BIGG
Sooo first up, the whole international exchange thing is canned. Every time I got close to getting it sorted, something would smash it all into tiny little pieces, and I'd start over again. I'm not going to go into details and relive the disappointment, but yeah, after all the effort put into this thing, it didn't work out in the end. I think that's the universe telling me that something mortal would've happened if I went through with it. Welcome to the real world, I guess.
BUT the whole rea
My blog entires are so goddamn teenagery. I mean, I've known this for ever, being a teenager and all, but I was just looking through my latest entries and it seems like my writing and me haven't changed. At all. For cereal, if I was someone else, I'd never come into this blog, it's so cringe and, ugh. Girly. Having my main audience as (much) older guys makes it even stranger, and I question why people would want to read this garbage. Wait a second... o_O
You guys all know about the mid-life
ArgHHHH I'm tearing my hair out at this whole international exchange process. If I did something common like business or maths, everything would be over in a week, there would be hardly any meetings with important people at my university, emailing back-and-forth with multiple American universities, all the DECISIONS (x10 worse for a girl). But nooo, I have to go and do god damn Geographic Information Science, that takes an eternity to say when people ask me what I do at uni, then repeat it when
SO, I have been seriously considering doing a semester of university in the USA. Thing is, the semesters seem vastly different from Australia's, and I'm not completely certain when they start/end. Can anyone educate me on this? The results are kinda confusing when I try to Google it.
I actually would prefer going to Canada instead of the USA, but Canada doesn't have any solid GIS programs, such as a bachelor's degree. They only have 1-2 year certificates etc. Luckily and unsurprisingly, ther
Hello lovely people of Sals, I have returned! Momentarily.
Things are going pretty swimmingly in my world. Nothing too drastic has changed since my last entry. I've finished my end-of-year-exams and now I'm on holiday for about 3 months! Well, I have been on holidays for about 2 weeks now so a bit less than that. Before my exams, I decided that I would be buying my first ever gaming console, a PS4! I simply didn't have time for it during university, since I went between LoL and watching ser
Hey old friends! This is probably the longest interval I've left between blog entries - close to a year!. I've been meaning to write one up since late last year, but every time I thought of doing it, I was just about to sleep, or I had an assignment due the next day, or I'd be working in 10 minutes. So, finally, the prime time has come to write my prized blog entry - in the middle of my university mid-semester exams! :D
So, I'll try to address everything that I mentioned in my last entry. I
Helloo people :) I haven't been very active for the past year, but I have been popping in from time to time. I remember back in the day when I blogged just about every day. Ah, the times. In fact, in about a week, I'll have been at Sal's for 8 years! That's kind of scary.
As for me, nothing astronomical has changed since the last entry. My girlfriend and I are going strong, and my parent situation hasn't changed. Actually, my mum said that she 'didn't like gays', on a few separate occasions.
Hullo. Me again. As some have pointed out, some things have changed. I thought I'd elaborate on my last entry, of a very special someone in particular :P . I mean I probably shouldn't and it's none of ya'lls business but screw it. Screw it all. I'm saying that a lot these days.
Before you gather your pitchforks, yes, this is my second relationship within 8 or 9 months, and yes, with a different gender to the last. That doesn't make a difference though. Actually, I lie, it makes all the diffe
Ok so an incredibly large range of exam results. From worst to best:
Maths - 54% (56% average) D:
Economics - 69% (idk average)
Physics - 74% (61% average) :D
English - 74% (57% average and top of my class!)
Business - 76% (69% average)
Geography - 93% (top of the year and everything and everyone and this mark probably was the best anyone has gotten in the past few years because I've never seen my Geography teacher look so thrilled before when he told me)
Didn't get as much as I'd t
So much that I partook in a 'math-off' with Pam on Facebook :P
With exams over, I kinda miss school, as in I can't see all my friends all the time and we actually have to arrange times to meet up and stuff. So bothersome. I'm just going to play LoL now.
Last semester, Geography was my worst subject, but my favourite, in terms of content. I scored a sad 62% in that exam, also by far my lowest.
A few days ago, I was personally pulled into an empty classroom by my Geography teacher, shut the door, and said that I got the top mark in the recent Geography exam. 93%. The second highest mark was 76%. What the hell. I didn't even feel like I did great in that exam. I'm really confused and happy at the same time. I also got 69% in Economics, but tho
I have exams in a week and I've done shizzle all.
Tomorrow's my last day of year 11.
I broke up with him.
My English teacher told my class that we've been the best class she's had in the past 5 years. Came as a massive shock for all of us, did not expect that at all. She's an extremely good teacher but her teacher-student relations are...non-existent. She was in a very good mood yesterday, and today she told us...
She's getting married! That's probably why. She's never in a good mood. Su
This is the day I have been dreading for the past few weeks. Friday, week three of the 4th term of school. Back then, it was for school reasons. Huge English assignment due, four weeks' worth of English journal tasks due, Physics test and Geography test. Also keep in mind this week was loaded with other tests. I was staying up very late every night leading up to today. Yesterday night was horrendous. I was up till the early hours of the morning, doing my English assignment with my partner, who w
I don’t know anymore.
My life is great. I have everything I’ve ever wanted when I was young. I’m well above average education-wise. I have great, loving and understanding parents. I have a job that I love and look forward to doing every weekend. But most importantly, I have friends. I went from rock bottom, zero friends when I was 10, to now, the happiest I’ve ever been.
Let me give you some context of year 5 to demonstrate to you what kind of year it was. I was dumped into a new school aft
To start off, a month or so ago I went on a ski trip with some of my year group for 7 days and 2 days in Melbourne. It was a pretty nice experience, getting to show off my skills while my friends were stacking it left and right. The snow conditions were pretty miserable unfortunately, with it being Australia. It actually began quite nicely, then as the week went by, the weather rapidly deteriorated. On some days it rained and hailed heavily, but we trudged through and managed to have a good time
Remember that entry with me getting a tonsilitis scare? I got a strange raspy feeling in my throat today and decided to do some exploring. The spots had multiplied. My right tonsil is bulging with a large prominent white spot on it. Spots littered everywhere. It doesn't hurt though, nowhere as bad as the time I described in that entry. The feeling's hardly even there. Nevertheless, I'm an idiot. I should've listened, like many many other times in this blog. I'm going to get it checked out. I hop
Got my exam results back today and yesterday. Pleasantly surprised by some, not so pleasantly surprised by others.
English - 66%. Was hoping for slightly higher, this is around average for the year group. I'm rereading the paper and kicking myself for not spotting very obvious things.
Business - 78%. Argh could've gotten so much better. Taking into account I didn't take Business for the first 10 weeks of the term I did pretty well. Dat 6 mark question...
Maths - 72% asdfasdjfhaworaoie omg.
FINISHED EXAMS! Here's a run-down on how I think I did on them, in order.
English - Not that great tbh, I fiddlesticksted most of it which I'm not very good at >.<
Business - Pretty good actually, but totally misread a 6-mark question (out of 90) and completely screwed it up.
Maths - Non-calc section was easy peasy but calc-section was quite depressing. I missed out on a lot of things and simply didn't know how to do some.
Physics - Also quite depressing. Not sure if I'll pass.
