So I really haven't blogged for a long long time. And I somewhat regret that because the post-HSC holidays have been an absolute blast, and seriously something that I loved and wished I documented so much better. I got to be as lazy as I possibly wanted (except at home, when my parents took doing chores very seriously lols) and it really gave me the opportunity to regain somewhat a social life after being so socially retarded just cooped up studying. To all those still yet to finish the HSC, trust me, every minute of study is rewarded during those three-fourish months of holiday. It's amazing. America, and Canada and Hong Kong are amazing.

But starting uni now, I've also realised how easy high school is in comparison. I love uni, the freedom I get during these years of my life are probably unparalleled, but at the same time, the uni content is insane. Readings, assignments, lecture notes... I really have to stay on top of it all to make sure I'm not screwed like hell for semester exams. These exams really count. If you fail, you have to repeat, which means another semester of things you've already learnt, things that you will be paying for in hundreds and thousands of dollars when you're trying to pay HECS. Needless to say, I'm not really ahead in my work.

Here's to hoping that next semester is better.

Anyway! The point of this post was that I am moving blogs.

It feels appropriate, I mean, this is my high school blog teehee, and I feel like I'm moving onto a new chapter of my life! So, new blog it is.

It's definitely a lot more personal, and it's not finished, because, as I said before, I'm behind on school work so that's taking a bit more of a priority, but .. yea. (:

I'm leaving in TWO DAYS! I should be extremely excited but I'm just feeling nerves nerves nerves nerves nerves nerves. I think once I actually get on the plane I would be happy as heck but AT THE MOMENT........... I don't know I feel quite sad.

I miss everyone and I haven't even left yet! ):

NOTE: New template is TOTALLY unsatisfactory so I've just reverted back to this one for now hahahahaha.

I think the only word that's really ringing in my head about Schoolies is epic. Like, it was different to Eurotour and different to what I expected, although I KNOW I can't really compare because Schoolies was so much SHORTER and Eurotour was in a different COUNTRY, and there was a lot of moody stuff going on at all times. Plus something happened on the second ? third? night to me which will not be repeated =_=; even though I'm willing to bet a lot that everyone knows anyhow. I DO know that I got much closer to the peeps on Schoolies than I did on Eurotour, for sure. So like, as Eurotour was more exciting, Schoolies was more relaxing and free and incredibly mind-opening.

I say that I got much closer to the Schoolies peeps because throughout those five days, actually, I think progressively, I could just say anything to these 13 other amazingians and not worry about what they'd think and feel like as if they'd be there for me no matter what. Maybe it might have also got to do with the fact that they have all seen me at my worst and made me feel so insanely lucky that they were there for me during my worst. No Love by Eminem. Hahaha. I can't even believe that they could make me laugh when I was feeling so gross and horrible. (LOL @ teh, I still remember EXACTLY what he said LOLOLOL awkward flag much HAHA.)

FOOD WAS GREAT! I was surprised by how great everyone's designated food stuff turned out! Not saying that I doubted we were all crappy cooks LOL but I suppose it had more to do with the fact that I was so stressed about not having ENOUGH food. (We overbought on our 1k+ groceries LOOOL). Let me try to remember what we had all those days LOL.

SCHOOLIES PEEPS: is this order right ? LOL. I've forgotten the order =_=;

I realise this is so non-.. in order. Frick what is that word. I hate this feeling. How there's a word that describes exactly what you want to say but you just mindblank in that exact moment. Digressing, watching shooting stars on the last night was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Considering that I never thought I'd ever ever ever see a shooting star in my life and actually being able to see three! Although I do realise that seeing three is way not as impressive as some of the other amazingians like Ed, and it was somewhat spoiled by a similar episode of a Chinmay on Murderer's Lane or whatever that road was called. Still, I think that even if there were no shooting stars, it was still incredibly sentimental being on the beach past midnight with my awesome housemates (bar Chin and Teh kus they were both sick) and lying on slightly damp pillows and blankets and just talking, chilling, relaxing, being so free.

Spending five days and nights with people like Bravin, Ksin, Minna have also influenced me SO MUCH. I can randomly start humming Minna's song (Take the foodscraps from the kitCHEN! to a suitable outside SPOT!) and I think random phrases have become a major part of my vocabulary.

OMO OMO OMO MAGIC MAGIC.

Our house was so so so nice as well! Like I remember walking in and Ruth was just like THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT BABY. I think it was Ruth.. lol. BUT either way, it was impressive. I'm talking about massive french glass windows EVERYWHERE and couches that were so comfy that I literally fell asleep on twice, probably more, and spotless kitchen (deteriorated everyday, but Ash and I made sure there was no food poisoning ever), and rooms that were big enough with massive beds that were so soft and comfortable and ditto pillows and had ultra cool lamps that you just touched and they'd turn on and off, and the showers were nicer than my home showers, like you only had to turn the hot water on and the hot water would turn on! Didn't even have to wait for hot water, and HUGE balconIES and a seriously clean pool and deck chairs. It was just great, seriously amazing. Loved it to bits (: Plus, we watched the sunrise and sunset pretty much everyday, AMAZING view because the house was on a massive hill.

The beach was great too. Okay so it was no Fiji but it was FUN. I learnt how to use Ed's boards and they are so incredibly exciting hahaha. There was even a part on the beach where it just suddenly dipped in, like a mini kid's pool. It was hilarious because everyone pretty much always forgot about it and when we were all running back to the beach we'd trip and fall into the quicksand there. But there was another part where you can just sit in the water, and there would be warm currents (and sometimes cold drafts if we were unlucky) but the water was pretty much always perfect for beach swimming. Wet sand hurts. I think some chafed my thigh and it still hurts but I'll get over it. I also tanned. A LOT. I hate it. Minna and I had a massive convo about tanning a while ago over GJs, and I was fully going on about how I wanted to be pale for formal but then she was like, Dude, you're going to be at schoolies for five days before it. How the hell are you going to get PALER? Minna is so right. I am so much darker now ): Fml.

Weather was REALLY good too. Okay so it rained once and there was lightning and thunder on when us girls wanted to swim in the pool at night which spoiled our plans, but I remember it was the night before Ruth had to leave and we were all just sitting outside on the top balcony on the chairs and just plain chilling. It felt amazing, and so incredibly relaxing. And we were just watching the storm that was going on back in Sydney and the lightning was flashing non-stop and just lighting up the clouds and when we went back in and the storm got worse, it was like purple neon lights flashing outside. So cool. So incredible. So freaking amazing. I'm feeling nostalgic just thinking about it. We didn't really have to worry much about really hot days because we had loads of fans and aircons inside the house so it was good.

Played a lot of board games! Like Pictionary and Twister and Articulate and Jenga and Egyptian Snap and Kent and Bullshit and .. what was that Big 2? Merchant of Venice or something LOLL. FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN.

Obviously there was a lot more stuff that happened but I think that's enough from me LOL. I have to say that I really really had a great time and THANK YOU SO MUCH JES FOR ORGANISING SO MUCH. I LOVE YOUUUU :D And also to Ash, Bravin, CC, Chin, Ed, Jack, Kev, Milo, Minna, Ruth, Tang, and Teh, thankyou so so so much for the amazing five days and nights :D You are all my amazingians who made post-hsc so superbly worthwhile, ILOVEYOUALLSOMUCH. I would do it all again. Maybe not in the near future LOLLLL because I'm still feeling the repercussions of our crappy sleeping patterns and all the cleaning and cooking that we did, and the moodiness that was starting to surround us all. But I hope you all know that I wouldn't have traded those five days and nights for anything.

ps. Fml that post took me an hour and a half to write out LOLOLOL.

You'd think that post-hsc is going to be great right. IT'S ONLY GREAT IF YOU FINISHED YOUR LAST EXAM ON A HIGH NOTE. Stupid economics. Yesterday I was like, oh but what if they gave us a question on income distribution and environmental management? Great work Tiff, just jinx the paper why don't you. FREAKING ASKDJLASK. Even though that wasn't the part that I got screwed over in... but anyhow, I died for external stability. I think for five- ten minutes I was just staring at that question going, wth am I talking about. Short answer and multichoice were both harder than expected too. Fml I'm worried about multichoice. Very much. VERY VERY VERY WORRIED. I know I got a lot of it wrong. Fmllllllllll ): I want to cry. 96 ATAR might be gone. Fuuuuuuuck ): And that's all I can really think about.
