HSC exam timetable

So i found out when almost all of my exams are from reading a thread on BOS (Bored, not Board), courtesy to Viv for finding them. I'm not really happy that three of my exams are so close together but i guess i shouldn't be complaining because someone posted that their friend has all six of her exams in three days D:

Japanese Beginners Speaking: 13/8/2011 09:00-16:00 (A whole two months earlier than all the other exams. I'm scared!)

English (advanced): Area of Study 18/10/2011 09:20

English (advanced): Modules 19/10/2011 09:25

Mathematics: 24/10/2011 09:25

Mathematics Ext 1: 26/10/2011 09:25

Economics: 28/10/2011 13:55

Legal Studies: 3/11/2011 (don't know the time)

Still waiting on someone to post the Japanese Beginners written exam date. I really hope it's not on the same date as one of my other exams, but of course i'd prioritise the other exam by far if it were.

Harry Potter part 2 trailer! Since when did he pull Voldemort off a cliff with him? I really don't think that was in the book .__. I'm so sad it's ending )'; I'd probably have the urge to read the series all over again when i have the time hehe. You just can't get sick of reading them again and again! Ah, childhood memories. It's also fun to watch the movies again because they were so small and cute in the first one.

Anthony Neely

I made a new discovery hehe: Anthony Neely, a Taiwanese American - he gets a plus for being a halfie ;) He only has one album so far, titled "Lesson One" that was released in November last year. I think my favourite song from the album is "Hide It" (first song below). The third song below is in English :D

The weather has been so horrible lately. I probably wouldn't mind if i didn't have to trek to school in the pouring rain, and there were gigantic puddles everywhere. I also hate it for making my hair wavy because the bottom got wet this morning, grr. I read that this rainy weather is going to continue for a while. Give me Summer back! Anyway, I feel that school was so pointless today. We didn't do anything practical in class at all, but hooray for leaving early because i had last period off. We were told about a cadetship opportunity in Economics today and i've been thinking about whether i should apply or not. I was telling my teacher that i don't have any "boastful achievements" i.e. leadership roles and the like, but he said that they'd probably be looking more at academic results, not that mine have been that great. If only i were getting the same marks as i did last year *sigh*. And apparently the HSC personal timetables are accessible now but what the hell, we don't even have our HSC Online logins yet *facepalm*. (It's the school's fault of course.)

Back to hell

School starts again tomorrow and i have to say that these holidays didn't feel as short as they usually do. I did unfortunately fail (epically) at keeping to my schedule though. *Sigh* I haven't been able to sleep properly lately and it's really killing me so i shall try and go to sleep now. Let's hope i don't look like a zombie tomorrow morning.

Opinions please!

In case i have any readers from overseas, our formal is somewhat like prom in the US. It's probably a lot more toned down though. I actually have a short dress i really want but i can't decide whether to get it or not because i know quite a few people are going to wear long dresses and i wouldn't want to be the odd one out. It's also 165 pounds which is around $253 AUD *sigh*. I'd have to pay for shipping too. Anyway, please give your opinion on whether you think i should buy/wear a long or short dress. I really do need opinions so please vote. I know it's hard but pick one please? *puppy eyes*

Short or long formal dress?
	Short
	Long

CN Blue - Love Girl

Currently loving Love Girl by CN Blue :3

Change of plans

I've always had my mind set on going to Hong Kong after the HSC but i suddenly don't really want to go any more. I mean other than eating yummy food and shopping, there really isn't much to see, and the fact that it'll be Winter in the northern hemisphere means i'll probably be buying less since i love Summer clothes so much more. I think i want to go to the United States now, which i find a little strange because i never really wanted to go before. Sure it would've been nice to go but i was never keen on going. I suddenly really want to go and i don't exactly know why. I know my mum wants to go and visit my grandparents in New York whom we both haven't seen since i was a child so perhaps i'll end up going (hopefully). Hehe it's more than half a year away but i'm excited already!

☂

I woke up today and noticed that it was raining, which made me kind of sad because i really don't like it when it rains. That and it's super cold today (says me who's still wearing shorts). I should probably go put on some long pants before i catch a cold *sigh*. Now i'm kind of regretting that i didn't go out to yum cha with my cousins. Anyway, i'm off to eat breakfast now (breakfast at 1:30 - yep, that's me). Though in case you misunderstand, i didn't just wake up (:

First time cookie baking

First time making cookies today D: They didn't turn out pretty enough so i won't be posting any photos (sadly). I comforted myself by saying at least they taste good haha. I'm thinking that maybe i should've made normal cookies instead of icebox cookies. Rolling the dough into an even log was rather hard, and after i sliced them, they didn't even look round any more. In the end, they turned out kind of square *facepalm*. Oh well, practice makes perfect. I should also probably buy an actual electric beater or a very deep bowl because my gigantic electric whisk from the Sunbeam StickMaster Pro (the one that they used on Master Chef *laughs*) is too big and bits of my dough were flying out whilst i was trying to cream the butter and sugar. Luckily i put the bowl in the sink, otherwise it would've flown all over the place. That makes me sound so fail ): It really was the whisk's fault though! or the bowl's. Hopefully next time they'll be pretty enough to show you guys.

Jang Geun Suk's new Japanese single - Let Me Cry. It actually caught me by surprise because i wasn't expecting rock. Hehe i liked him after watching You're Beautiful (Korean drama). It seems like i haven't listened to rock in so long D: *was into J-rock for a while*
