Jingle bells?

Hmm… it’s been over a month since I last wrote in this thing. A fair bit has happened during that time. We all headed off to the formal a while ago. The night panned out just as I had anticipated, after going to four of these events, you come to know what to expect. Nothing major happened, it was the same as any other formal, they’re all the same really. This was the first formal that I’ve to gone sans date, but that was my choice and not something I regret. Teachers should really not be allowed to drink alcohol, or better yet, should not be allowed to dance (… well, except for the Dyer’s, they were like the cutest couple ever). And while we had to suffer watching the very bad dance moves of one particularly drunk teacher that shall remain nameless, my success of the night was getting to bed by 3am and arriving home with my shoes intact.

We’ve also all just received our HSC and UAI results. All the effort was worth it in the end and although I won’t get my first preference, my results *should* be enough to get me into what I want. Another good point of course, is that I won’t have to leave Sydney!

Christmas is closing in on us all and the festive season is well and truly here. I am one proud cookie to be able to say that I got all my Christmas shopping done in one day during a marathon shopping spree. It took about 7 hours all together and I was exhausted and slightly delirious by the end of the day, but alas, I got in early, avoided painful crowds as well as my usual last minute rush. So muhaha to me.

Here, check out some of my awesome present wrapping skills lol:

I’ve already been on holidays for around six weeks now, so it’s a strange feeling to be able to say that I have yet another TWO MONTHS left off… I’m used to crappy breaks between semesters, the longest being a six week break during summer. So I am getting a little restless and have almost lost all sense of time as the days begin to mesh together. I still have no idea where I’m going to be or what I’m going to do during the 25th and for New Years. I usually go up the coast, but didn’t make plans this year because I thought we were going overseas. Now that that’s fallen though and EVERYONE else has left me (I’m looking at you Cassie), I am quite frankly, a little lost.

Some pretty disappointing news this week, one of my (many) goals was to start a ‘warnie’ chant at a cricket match. I envisioned myself standing on the grassy hill in my best yobbo outfit, complete with sombrero, Aussie flag thongs and beer in hand (although the beer would just be for dramatic affect, I actually hate the stuff). But no, he had to go and retire on me now didn’t he. It’s a shame too; those guys that do that at the cricket always look like they’re having so much fun lol.

But anyway… all is mostly well in the life of me, I’ve picked up more hours at work and thus more $$$. High school is over, it’s the middle of summer and it’s also the festive season. Not much to complain about at all.
