I can proudly say that I had the best end of the week - possibly ever! I was feeling quite miserable from the workload, and the exam notifications, my last English assessment task (ranked 44/52 from 23/52, mmmmyay) and other little things - so this was REALLY great. I mean, FANFREAKINGTABULOUS!
Ohhhhh it started off with a bit of a chat up the stairs to the tennis courts in the morning (I was, in the beginning, feeling very unhappy about morning training, bbbbbut then!)... and then a few :)))))))) friendly encounters, oh, and not forgetting a conversation about a certain skeleton's missing front tooth, the colour pink (pink ties and shirts and oh just the colour) and liquid nitrogen (I freaking wish I did Chemistry. "Biology is a flower subject.").
OH IT WAS ALL JUST SO WONDERFUL. HELL, I'M STILL FEELING OVER THE MOON ABOUT IT. AHHHHHHH ROTFSQUEE.
I'd spent my past few days working on a boarders video presentation for today's Open Day. I'd come back to the boarding house during my free periods to take photographs, and in the afternoons I'd be editing them etc etc. Not only was it veryveryvery time consuming, it was so tiresome. You know, repeatedly CTRL+ALT+Iing every picture, SHIFT and UP and then type in 50 to PERCENTAGE and the image will decrease in size to 50% of it's original... Try doing that to 60+ photographs, and adding layers and changing brightness/contrast to some!

Open Day was all right, I suppose. I didn't take any pictures, unfortunately. I should have though, especially during the liquid nitrogen demo oh looking grrrrrrrreat in a white buttoned down labcoat, gloves and safety goggles ohhhhh squee*. Aaaanyway, hmm, yes, it was very tiring. I had a tennis match at 7.45, which we lost by a point or two; rushed back to the boarding house to get ready for the tours. As part of the boarders council, you help out with the tours around the house and other little things like manning the boarders' display at the hall. Jude and I were in charge of the 11.45am tour, which to our fortune had no turn-ups - so we scrambled our way to the Science demo of liquid nitrogen (hehehe). I loved it. Again, WISHING I'd done chemistry intead of Bio! Visited the Maths department under Jude's wishes, which was quite enlightening - solved attempted some Maths problems with a few Year 8/9s.
Yeaaaaaaa bunch of music performances after that - messed up my House of the Rising Sun solo YET AGAIN, but this time it sounded excruciatingly HORRIBLE. Anyway, it's over now. What matters is the present.
Dad rang me up Friday night and asked me why I didn't want to go to uni. Ok, not that I don't want to go - I mean, I'd love to go to university... If they offered the course I want to do! I told him about Billy Blue and how I reallyreallyreally wanted to go. He seemed all right about it. Of course, every parent sees the day when they brag to their friends about their child studying some big ass business or law or medicine degree at a big ass university like UNSW or USYD. Or going to the states and the Ivy League crap. I hope he supports me no matter what. University or not.
Numbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbness in my legs!
I'm off to bed now. So tired x]
I hope everyone had a good week. End of the week, too. :D Hehe. I for one sure did.
Cheers!
