This. Is. A. Post.

Really. Just in case you hadn't already guessed...

So, in news of general importance:
I promise i will post a pic of my dress once i actually have a picture of it. Oh, and i also now have the shoes (black with diamontes), clutch (black with... diamontes!) and jewellery (diamontes, with diamontes). So all i have to do is figure out the hair, make up, and car, and i'm GOOD to go! Which is very exciting, and a lot of pressure off.

So... I haven't posted in a while. And i'm sorry. But i'm goign to rectify this...
And with that little announcement, we begin!

How To: Go Back to School with Style

1) Wear something new. Be this a new top (if your school doesn't have a uniform policy), a new hair accessory or a new bottle of foundation... something new and nice will definitely make you slightly more enthusiastic about school, and thus school more enjoyable.

2) Come prepared with an answer to "What did you do on your holidays". For some reason, even after a 2 month holiday people think that you can sum that answer up in one sentence. On top of that, "not much", "nothing" or "heaps" are generally not acceptable answers. Prepare yourself: "I went to the zoo, spent some time with friends and avoided sunburn like the plague" or "my family went to Sydney" are viable answers that will keep the questioner happy and enable you to move on with the conversation.

3) Remind yourself of all those boring times on holiday. Sure, on the whole it was definitely better then the study you endured during those last few weeks before the holidays, but they were the worst school has to offer. The initial week, if not a bludge, at least has a heap of gossip from the holidays.

4) Start the count down calendar. If all else fails, chances are there are less then 100 days till your next holidays.

An Update

Hey all

just thought i'd let you know what's happening with me (apart from recovering from the Bones breakdown)

So, i have eaten all of the chocolate i was given for Easter (admittedly, it was only a handful of chocolate and a bunny, but still) and about half of what i bought (which was a fair amount more). Therefore, i'm about to start a new fitness kick (any ideas, PLEASE comment. i tend to get bored of walks/bike rides/runs fairly quickly).

Glee was on about 3 hours ago in america, meaning it was posted online about 1 1/2 hours ago, so i have watched the first episode for 2010, with mixed feelings... i'm not sure if i'm overly pleased with where the writers seem to be taking the show, but the songs are still great and story lines still interesting.

I managed to get an appointment for the next stage of treatment for my eczema, so fingers crossed that all goes well...

Which means i've spent all day re-arranging plans for tomorrow, when i was supposed to be going to an awesome playground to hang out. Which i'm still doing. But at a later time. And somehow, the group of 12 is down to a group of 6 (doctors appointments, assignments, lack of parental consent, etc) so i'm having to reorganize things again this afternoon. Next holidays i'm going to let everyone else organize me, i've decided.

Finally, i've spent about 6 hours now refreshing SN to discover they only have 3 articles (excluding open thread and aunty sparknotes) posted today. Which is worrying of itself, until you realise only 1 non-routine (aunty SN, open thread, thing of the week, etc) article was posted yesterday. Making a grand total of FOUR articles this week! So if anyone has any info on that, it'd be much appreciated ;)

Apart from that, life is going back to normal (ie things are starting to begin again for the new term) as the holidays wind down, which is depressing... but hey, only 2 1/2 terms to go!

What's happening in your lives??

Happy Day-Before-Pi-Day!

As most people know, Pi in mathematics is roughly 3.14... and as most American's can tell you, in 1 days time (well, for me anyway. I think it's still 2 days time in America) it will be March the 14th, aka 3/14, aka PI DAY! to celebrate this momentous date, my maths C class (this is the extra maths i take, with only 7 other students) are having the first ever maths C excursion to the local bakery to buy pies. Which is super exciting, seeing as exam block starts 2 days later, so we're basically getting an excuse to miss boring revision lessons, for a holiday that doesn't even work here Down Under (we write the date as 14/3...). In any case, my friend and i spent last night coming up with some of the many reasons pies should be celebrated on pi day.

1) they have a circumference - with the exceptions of pizza and cookies, pretty much no other food has a perimeter that uses pi in its formula. 1 point for Pies.

2) pieces can be measured using radians - with the exception of pizza (again), what other food would you slice up into equal pieces using radians, aka angles with pi? None, i tell you. 2 Points for Pies

3) they're called "pies"... - which is obvious, but the chief reason that pies should be celebrated on pi day, obviously, is the fact that they're homonyms. What other food shares this glorious name? Can't think of one, can you. 3 Points of Pies.

And with that settled, i shall leave you to organise your own pie day celebrations. Comment me with ideas, what you're doing, or your favourite kind of pie. Mine's apple ;)
