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.

How To...
... Get people to comment on your blog!
1) shamelessly promote commenting

A Little Too Late
It has come to my attention that it's been NINE DAYS since I've blogged. And I appologise. Profusely. So please forgive me.
In the mean time, I thought i'd go back to my early blogging roots and write a "how to" on a completely unrealistic, but hopefully amusing topic.
Just a clause: this is being typed on an iPod touch, spelling mistakes are likely to occur. It's still learning my typos. However, I must say i'm impressed by it's learning... Predictive now gives me ohmygoshness when I type in ohm.
How To: Stay Dry In The Rain
it's the end of period 3, you're in a classroom the otherside of the oval and t starts to poor. You're trapped: you have to attend your next class, but you can't get wet - your make up would run, your straight hair would curl, and most importantly your pathetically designed school uniform consisting of a white blouse will go see through. How does one reach the other side?? Watch and learn.
1) Grab a large poster, preferably laminated.
Why laminated, you ask? Laminate, my dear friends, is plastic. Plastic repels water. My friend seriously did this today. Sure it may not stop issues with your make up, hair, or getting water in your shoes but it can stop water from touching your blouse. You may look odd with a wet back and dry front, but at least you won't look like a slut.
2) Jumpers make great hats.
While laminate is great for protecting the hideousnes that is your uniform, unfortunately there's not that many posters to go around, requiring a differet solution to protect your delicate hair. Jumpers, hoodies, blazers and jackets are all great forms of protection which do not require you to hold to keep on your head. While it may be more obviius to simply wear said article of clothing, you need multiple layers of cloth to keep the water at bay. It may not be classy, but your hair will be afterwards.
3) Sprint
Sure, you might slip in a puddle, and Sure, you'll be hot and sweaty (and wet and cold) for your next class... but when all else fails, sprint (making sure to jump in all the puddles along the way)
