I feel I ought to do a pre-exam journal, despite the neglectedness that is this journal. Almost a month! Oooh!
First we'll start with how well I expect to do on my exams, realistically not modesty and not overestimatinglingly...yes...
-> Chemistry: 70% and above. I feel absolutely obliged to get over 70 otherwise Chem tutor will furrow brow and make that Indian face/look, that's so disappointing. I'm not your daughter, goddamnit.
-> Math: 60% and above. Math is a bit iffy although I will study and know I can do bits at least. I will definitely pass I know that, hopefully Ms. Grahn is nice about the exam this time.
-> Psychology: 60% and below. If I'm lucky, Mrs Rawlings talk on differences between VCE and IB is startingly scary. I am now in depressed mania and now understand rudimentary torture. Hello word, here's a song I'm singing...
-> SPanish: 80% and above. Despite his talk about it I'm pretty good with my Spanish. I know my conjugation just needs a little study time, that's all. *grins* Still worrying a little.
-> English: 90% and above. Oh, look no orals so I'm putting my little head into this. My whole class will do well. Plus this is probably the only one I won't have to write lots (and it used to be the one I had to write lots for!). That and Chem. Only one wittle commentary. Hah to those VCE buggers.
-> History: Fuckity Fuckity Fuck. 60% and above. Omg! Essay and Document Study in 90 MINUTES. I know I can write an essay in 30 minutes but that was LAST YEAR! So I don't know bout me right now. THats another thing i have to revise and study before thing next Wednesday. Freaking out. Freaking out. Freaking out.
After writing this feel strong sorta panicky urge to study. GO GOGOGOGO!

I feel somewhat subdued and rathr disappointed with my teachers. Why?
a) Ms. Jarrett didn't even ask for Prac that I spent half night on.
b) Mrs Peterson looked like she couldn't care less about our essays. Shall send it thought in Psych tommorow, along with Tok Journal.
Well that's really it. Spoke to sister two nights ago, she's in Hamburg at the moment and has not changed one bit. Am glad, feel so grown-up compared to her. I guess she's always been the un-stable one, not mentally but always fluctuting in ideals and opinions and the like. She comes off all smart-alecky and grown up but she's still a dumb-shit at heart. ^_^
Hrum, what have I done lately? Am s'posed to be doing TOK but will do. Actually have to think about what I write. How absolutely lacking in crap. Feel I should talk about something else that isn't work. Well life is revolving around work at the moment. Found i have complete relaxed moments where I sit back in my chair and think absolutely nothing. Ahhh! Such pathetic little thrills for me.
Well I do have good news I suppose, I only have three weeks and two days left. Why? You might ask. Well seeing as the fifth/fourth week, three days I get off because one is start of exams, the two others are mid-term break and cup day. I also get two days off next week for 'Celebration evening rehearsals', which 'THANK GOD' is NOT when my sister is coming back. If so, mum would make me stay at home and see her back instead of me going off and partying (well, not exactly) with friends.
Bad news: well, that's a lot of classes I miss before I go do exams. So that's pretty shit but I'm not too worried. I just really need to focus for the next couple of weeks before exams and I guess I shouldn't really just waste the days I get off. No, I'll probably have to stay home from weekends now on. Badminton and Bon's b-day are special cases. yah.
Good news: Have talked to non-schoolie friends. They are well and some are dwelling on exams, Em (who is a year below me but smarter than me) is so happy while the rest of are dreading exams (cept for MV, she's done hers and finished moving). Damn her!
Bad News: End of year 11 *hyperventilating* OMG! I'll be in Year 12. Kill me! I don't even know how to tram. (Oh lord, Ames is going to laugh at that).
Talk to ya later,

YAY! Am happy that blogger has old blog template. *pats* Missed you old buddy. Oh right...supposed to be looking for Stalin - education. Have taken survey - lied to get in so that I can actually have a say. I think its unfair you have to be over seventeen, most of the people who blog are under twelve - no wait, fifteen. Think Blog-ppl, hormone time is between 12 - well till the end of time really.
Hmm, mum and dad went to see Calender girls. Got my ears pierced with really crap diamonds and I am trying to research for my Stalin essay. SO far I have been sucessfull and plan to be optimistic as long as it will last -
Yes, how long will it last?
Right now, am running to computer to see if can log up other blog entries here. Thinking of switch back to livejournal and making that my most regular blog. I suppose its easier to blog up and everything and more templates - but I will miss blog. But oooh wait, am starting blog up with other friends (NOT VCE and definitely not IB). Yayser! Brb!
Problem is, cannot copy onto blogger. Dammit. Don't always have beautiful thoughts while writing so do most at night. Mum and Dad back soon so I better hurry this up. Am keeping food diary to keep track of what I eat. Today I haven't eaten much which is good although what I did eat was very fatty. speaking of being naughty, talking to Mary on Yahoo because asshole MSN doesn't want to let me on, and her nic was 'Spanky'. I was actually quite surprised she's a veta slut on Yahoo, heheheheh. Enough bitching, I'm off.
Ta's, girls.

Oh my lord! I totally forgot! Forgive me! I didn't do a REVIEW of the FORSYTHE SAGA: TO LET!
Okay, well I didn;t do it for the first one, but the first one was so depressing. But I liked Soames compared to everyone else who was in love with Irene and...I'll save it for the Review.
!!!Review!!!
Okay. So I was a bit depressed at the start, I mean Jon(lyon?) and dear, Fleur fall in love. What else do you expect? Its part of the curse, yes? However, it continues to see that now Julian is more of the bad guy than Soames is, Soames hobbles about in the same manner as before, still tied up about money. Cept this time he's got a weakness: Fleur.
Things begin to go bad, Jon runs away. Irene has to remember the horrible things that happened. Fleur begins to show a bad side to Soames. Soames wife, forgot her name, Frenchie lets say falls in love with Monsiour Profond who pretends to like Dartie's wife, forget her name too. Dartie stops gambling, fear of ridicule of his son but dies in a tragic accident and so on.
Okay, anyway main story really ties up in the last episode.
So Jon is determined to marry Fleur, however Julian dies in a two second heart attack and Jon, convinced by Irene and Julian says no to Fleur although his heart is breaking. FLeur collapses, and falls into hatiing her father. She doesn't eat, so Soames calls for his run-away wife. She comes and they sorta reconicle and Fleur agrees to marry former admirer, Michale Mont who showers her with flowers.
Aha, but Jon hears and determines to meet with Fleur. This is a beautiful scene, the first one of three that I loved in the end. What she says:
"I am selfish but at least I'm honest..." and she goes on to relate although she appears dumb she knows and she's grown, she knows they've turned him against her. Their last kiss is really passionate but she says a definite DV ending "I swear I'll forget you, John Forsythe" With all that flaming red hair and flushed face, she definintely reminds me of Ginny.
Second scene I love, was when Soames sees his daughter and she yells at him and then he takes her roughly and tries to explain to her, and ends up falling apart. Its beautiful and Damien whatever is a great actor, a great Soames actually. What he says is heart breaking about how Irene looks at him 'and whenever she sees me, i know that's shes only thinking of that'. Stays with you man. Fleur forgives him and they reconcile! So this is reconciliation no. 2 for Soames.
Third and final scene of the film, which marks the greatest of the entire series is the reconcilation between SOames and Irene.
He goes to thier house to give her a piece of art and finds her renting out Robin Hill and her son gone abroad, off to sulk I suppose. Anyway, they talk a little and she smiles at him. And right before he leaves, she puts out her hand to shake it, the first time she has and the first time he hasn't. Beautiful ending. Last thing said stays with you too, 'Actually, he didn't want anything..."
10/10. Wow! That was a great ending. Usually films and such have crap endings but I must say that was much better than the book where Soames is gazing at the graves. I would ahve rathered a recon with Irene than not at all. NIce one guys! Corny as it is.

Friends and I are thinking of either starting a livejournal journal or blogger blogger which we can blog all we like to anyone we like.
I suppose I rather like that idea, now that I have a blog, a livejournal (and Sue's apparently).
I read this article on my friend's journal about this guy, normal sort of guy with wife, two kids and even a goldfish + dog. And the entire time he was running this porn journal thing, but apparently his wife found out from someone at work (he ran it at work) and she tracked it down. Scary, scary, scary. But still disgusting, reminds me of Draco's (snitch) thing about gay people in chapter four. Something about how there are the two extremes on the gay spectrum, one side is him with the tight pants, disco dancing and the other side is the butch, Village people and in the middle are the sick bastards, the 'denials', all middle-aged men with families who pay for the occasion gay binge.
I mean, really? What's wrong with being gay? Well I guess that's being really biased seeing that I am in fact a het, not harbouring any gay sexual tendencies. Not even wanting to experiment. I mean the idea of being with another woman creeps me out, there's nothign wrong with OTHER people doing it, it just isn't for me.
I think I once had a talk with Sue about which one of us (VCE friendship group) MIGHT be gay, maybe not now but in teh future like some religious revelation. We discussed the way we would react to the idea and whether it woudl change our image of the person or not and to be perfectly truthuful and candid, it probably would. It would change but not put them in a bad light. But then again even the idea of imaging any of us as not het (as we talk/bag boys all the time) was still spooky.
ANYWAY...sorry, I always manage to wreak a speel every once in a while.
Ahem, Biz - friend of Mary's sending 'round this meme thing: Top 10 Favourite Movies.
1) POTC - Pirates! And not because of O.B. Em!
2) LOTR and series. (Its technically one movie)
3) Willow
4) Princess Bride
5) Matrix
6) Mulan
7) Cruel Intentions
8) Labyrinth
9)Cluedo
10)Hmmm...we'll have to see.
I guess most - or some of them at least have shaped my childhood. And that's nice but I know I'm missing out a heap I can't think of at the moment.
Shall go organise new!journal thing. Have to think of spunky, funky new name and everything. Easy update thing. YAY!
