As of about 10:30am this morning, I've officially graduated high school! Yay! No more putting off assignments and study for exams til the last minute and stressing about getting them finished the night before! No more stupid, pointless lunchbreaks spent sitting and pretty much doing nothing but watching the grass grow! And um...no more...other school stuff! Yay! =P

Anyways, what happened at the ceremony...

Well, there were speeches from the principal (Ms McKinlay), the year level co-ordinator (Ms Barnett), Mr Coleman and a couple of others. All the year 12s received graduation certificates somewhere in between all of that. Then there was music/singing/guitar: Mr Coleman and a couple of students (James Tyler, I think it was? and someone else who I don't know) played Time Of Our Lives. James played guitar. (There was a joke made at some point that he'd need to be surgically removed from his guitar sometime in the future. Seriously. I've never seen him without a guitar. And if I have, I probably didn't recognise him.) After the ceremony, everyone went out into the foyer for photos and swapping autographs, etc.

We left soon after ('we' being my mum and I). We went passed the shops to get chocolate and mangoes, then mum dropped me home and went to work. I've been pretty much sleeping since, downloading music and watching some tapes of Gilmore Girls. Nothing too exciting.

I've been flooded by phone calls too! Totally not the normal. First it was Rebecca, then Dad and Pops just now. More phone calls than I normally get in a week! Pathetic, huh!?! =P

We're having pizza for dinner, maybe some cake (mum insisted on buying one when we got to the shops but I said I didn't really want one - she's planning on buying one later though) and hopefully will be getting out some DVDs. I'm really wanting to see the rest of Angel. It's taken me so long to get up to Season 4, it's not funny. I've seen 5 1/2 seasons of The X Files since I started Angel and almost all of Season 1 of Bones on TV, along with a whole lot of other series. Only seeing up to Season 4 for Angel when you look at all of the other things I've seen is just totally pathetic. Need more!!! XP

Oh, and I might be getting a CD or something for a graduation present from mum, too. I'm thinking The Fray or Fall Out Boy maybe. Or Snow Patrol. Not sure yet.

So, I guess that's it for now. The whole graduation thing hasn't completely sunk in yet (I'm still waiting for it to hit me) so I'm sure there'll be more when it all breaks through. Or something.

And my brother has decided to be a jerk now, so I'd better finish in case he goes and turns the power off (not unusual for him). So...see ya later! =)

Been soooo busy lately! We've had relatives over since last Tuesday (yeah, it's been a week already!) so I haven't had much of a chance to really get on internet. When I have, I've spent most of my time updating my msn group, Wiccanz.

Since I got my livejournal - *lol! I just mistyped livejournal there! came out as 'liver'! =P* - yeah, well anyways, since I got it I've been neglecting Wiccanz, so it's good getting it updated and all lately. It's also sucking a little though. I have around 10-20 fanfics sitting around all lonely-like in a notebook cuz I haven't been able to type them up and post them.

I have a few exams tomorrow and a couple next week too, so until that's done, I don't like my chances of getting anything up. *wipes away tears* I'm really not liking this cuz no posting new fics means no getting reviews! My email inbox is feeling neglected! =P Aw, well. I guess when I finally get around to posting again....*fades out for a few minutes*

Anyways, onto the more interesting stuff. Whatever that is. Then back to more school stuff after...if I have time.

Okay, so I've finally gotten Season 5 Pt 1 of The X Files on DVD! Just waiting on Pt 2, which should be in next week. Pt 1 came in yesterday. I went by Sanity after school to pick it up and put Pt 2 on order. When I got home, I watched 5 episodes straight (of Pt 1) with only one break after the 4th episode - dinner. I would've skipped dinner but I probably would've passed out from not eating in so long (since a couple of hours earlier, anyway) so yeah... I watched another episode and 10 mins this morning in my spare before school and then the same 10 mins over again plus another 2 or it might've been 3 episodes when I got home! I would still be there if I didn't need to finish off my English oral script for tomorrow - which I should be doing now instead of writing all this!

School stuff. Things have been going alright with school, I guess. Here's an idea of how I've been doing (it's more for my own reference than anything, but whatever):

Biology Oral on Malaria = not sure of the exact mark, but Mr Koina said he was going to call my mum to tell her how good it was, so I'm guessing that's good.
Japanese Speaking Exam = B
Japanese Listening and Reading Exams = approximately a B+ to an A- overall - have to find my report card to be sure
IPT Assignment = around a B, not entirely sure if that mark'll stay...

And the English and Ancient History assessment (along with the writing exam for Japanese, the Biology exam and possibly an IPT exam that I haven't heard about) are still to come! Yay! *loads of sarcasm there!*

So, that's it. For now anyway. I've really been missing my lj, so this has been great with all the mindless venting. Have to do it again sometime! =P

BTW, What's been happening with everyone else? Anything interesting? I need a catch-up! Or something... =)

I haven't been posting much lately. Randomness, fanfics, or anything really. The reason for that is I've been busy with other stuff. Exams, assignments, The X Files, formal, and a whole lot more. Plus, when I've been online I've been focusing mostly on msn groups and the like. There's a whole cycle where I focus only on msn groups /or/ on livejournal and fanfiction.net. Kindof annoying.

Anyway, I've been working on some fanfics offline that I'm hoping to get up within the next day or so. There's a Mal/Inara one and a couple of fics for The X Files as well. I've been going off Firefly a little lately due to my newfound obssession with The X Files, so I'm trying to get back into it now.

While I'm on the subject of The X Files, I've got Season 4 on order! So, in about 2 weeks time I'll have Season 3 & 4! Plus, I put Dark Angel Season 1 Pt 2 on order as well so that'll be coming soon too!

Formal was okay, I guess. The food really sucked - except for the dessert. Pavlova. *drools at the memory.* There was dancing - totally not my thing; loud music - most of which I've never heard before or completely despise; photos - which I'm completely against and went partially blind from all the flashes on the night (may be exaggerating that a little, but you get the idea); and that's about it. Fun. Oh, plus I got $100 from dad at the pre-formal party, so that's how I got to the putting the DVDs (mentioned earlier) on order. Gotta be the best part of the night!

Uh...I stayed home on Friday. Probably should've gone because I had an English draft for my oral/assignment due, but I guess it can wait til Monday. I'm hoping to slip the draft onto my teachers' desk while she's in the meeting on Monday morning, actually. She's not really my favourite teacher, and all kinds of uncomfortableness would ensue if I have to give it to her personally. More so than if I leave it on her desk.

I have quite a few assignments this term. Term 3. There's 5 more weeks of this term and then Term 4 and then freedom! I'm not completely loving the idea of going out into the real world as they say, but it's gotta be better than this. Anything's gotta be better. Yup, you're probably sensing a whole lot of bitterness there. Everything's just crazy right now and I've got a lot of stuff on my mind.

Aunty Dot is coming from America in a couple of weeks. Should be good. I think she's staying at some hotel nearby or maybe at Grandma's old house (since she's living in the nursing home, now). Don't know. I'll be finding out more on that later.

It was Grant's 4th birthday on the 12th. (My half-brother). Feels like I haven't seen him in ages! Probably been about a month or two, actually. Kindof sucks with that.

And I'm running out of things to ramble uselessly on about now. I guess I should probably head off now anyway. I've got some fics to go type up!

I was off sick on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Sore throat, headache, that sorta thing. Nothing too serious. I'm still a little sick but not so bad now which is good.

Uh..yeh..running out of things to say.. Well, not really, just having a mind-blank..

Okay, school has been really busy. I'm behind in a few subjects because of being away so there's catching up to do. Also, there's an exam coming up for IPT and Ancient History - next week, i think. Lotsa studied needed there. And assignments. Lots of them. Well, only one. But still. Lots of work. Way behind in Japanese h/w too. About 2 weeks behind. Too much to do!

Been working a bit more on some fanfic. Probably should leave it awhile til i've caught up with school stuff. I'm very happy with what I've gotten done so far though. Have to put some more up soon.

I've got to go now. Lots more stuff I was gonna write but yeh.. Smallville, Medium, Lost - lotsa TV tonight.. Write more later.

See ya! =)
