Update!

Ok. So I'm going to be changing schools. It's confirmed. I've got most of the uniforms (second hand! but seriously-no-kidding ugly. The winter uniform I mean). It's really bad. The winter uniform. ARGH! But I think the main reason is because I'm always wearing so many layers. I REALLY dislike it! For one, my skin is like dying from under exposure of the outside world. Seriously. I look so bulky and fat. It's so annoying! It's just uncomfortable. But all for the sake of keeping warm. Do you know how crazy I am? I wear TWO pairs of tights you know. TWO. WHO DOES THAT? HUH? WHO WEARS TWO PAIRS OF TIGHTS ONE ON TOP THE OTHER????????!?!?!?! Yea. But granted, the second pair of tights is like really thin. I'm such a sad person. Scoff at me. Anyway. The winter uniform. IT'S. A. PINAFORE! They call it a tunic (PFFTT Pretentious) but it's so a pinafore. And it's grey. And the worst is that we all wear GREY tights. GREY! WHO WEARS GREY TIGHTS??????!?!?! But yea. They're changing it next year, but I don't know, I might not buy it because it's not worth it for just a few months. 


I'm pretty worried though. I'm not sure how tight they are (tight is an Australian term!!!!!!!!!! Just so you know (Jessie McCartney -.-) it means strict) on the uniforms. Like in my current school, we can wear navy/black tights/pants. Even girls can wear pants. We can wear winter uniforms during summer and vice versa. We can buy any white button-up shirt from Target or something and not get the school's official white shirt. So the thing is, when it's not summer here, it's still pretty cold. So if that's the case, can I wear my winter uniform or something then? When it's really cold, I sometimes wear a hoodie underneath my school jumper in my current school. That's actually not allowed. But they don't really bother. I don't think I'll be able to do that in my new school. Stressful!! The cold is horrible. HORRIBLE! 


Anyway. I also realized something as I was in the shower. When I left my old school back home to come here to Australia, I was sad not because of my current school at that time, but because of all of my awesome friends there. But now, as I'm leaving this school, I'm sort of sad, not because of the friends there, but because of the school itself. It actually is a pretty good school. As in the system and everything. Granted, it is sort of an acknowledged 'geek' school, but IMO, that's better than a school full of bullying and 'bad stuff'. Ditto my blog name. -.- Haha. 


Truly and sadly, I don't feel any real affection for anyone here in my school. Yes, I think some of them are really nice and really cool (definition of cool being my definition of cool, not cool cool. -.-). They are good people. There are good people. But when people hear I'm leaving they're like 'BUT WHY??????'. And I don't feel anything at all because I don't feel any affection for them, it's not like they even talk to me regularly, why would they care? Do you get what I mean? There are so many people who suddenly care when they hear about someone leaving or something like that. It's like how there's a farewell party for some random person and suddenly everyone starts caring because they want to be 'in the know', want to get invited or something. There are probably only about 3 people I really feel affection for, who I'm actually sort of sad to be leaving. Sum Sum, Janet and Silkra, this girl in my Chem class who is LEFT HANDED! =D I feel sort of bad because I'm really ditching Janet. I'm in her Chem and Methods class. We study together and stuff because we both are 'high achievers' *cough hak cough* and we sit beside each other and stuff. And we're prac partners in Chem. Sigh. But then I can't really do anything right? 


Part of me is still silently asking questions, having doubts. As in, should I have just arranged a home stay and stay in the same school? Things like that? But then just as I mentioned before, I'm just going to follow it since I've been accepted. Sigh. Just go with it yea? 


I think the class I'll miss the most will be Literature with Ms. Touvoli. She's cool!! Well, on one hand, Lit is like my relaxation class. It's the one class where it's not stressful and stuff. We mostly have very interesting discussions (most of which fly over my head, all of which I never contribute in), write practice responses or watch Literature movies. It's really fun! On the other hand, I really learnt a lot. It was tough, no kidding. (Don't know whether I've mentioned it before but oh well) We had to do this Reading Journal where we right down our opinions, thoughts, reactions etc on 10 texts we did (in two terms). At least two which were Australian, no more than two film texts, at least one poet, at least one from the 19th century and from the 20th century respectively and at least one play. It was really hard to try and write about them, about our thoughts and stuff. It really opened my eyes and forced me to construct another path of thought that I never had before. That's why I like Lit. Because I actually learnt those things. It challenged my choice of books (granted, it still wasn't that good because I didn't have much time) but then really. My world is just that much wider because of Lit. I'll miss Ms. Grant too. With her not-so-hilarious comments which loads don't really like. But coming from a school where not many teachers joked with you and stuff like that, it was cool. 


ANYWAY. The lowest temperature is 1 degrees Celsius today. :O It was really cold this morning and night. Well.. I couldn't really feel the difference. Because I was dressed up like a fat penguin and wearing gloves and scarf and everything PFFTTT THE TORTURE! But then seeing as it was almost 11am and I could still see my breath, was proof that it was cold. And then tonight, (I went to work) and when I went out to collect Francesco, this statue-like thing of a butler-like guy with specs, in an apron and holding a tray, who is on wheels, and wheel him back into the shop, the moment I stepped out of the shop, I could see my breath. And when I stepped out of the shower, in the bathroom right there indoors, I could see my breath. Haha. Funny how I measure the cold with whether I can see my breath or not. So silly. So me. So geek. (Y) (how pathetic tsk tsk). 


Well, sadly, the most exciting thing happening in my life right now is me looking forward to going back! SOON! If I say that one word, soon!, you know I'm talking about it. It's a surprise again. Not telling anyone the date. But it's soon! And I can't wait! I keep thinking about wearing shorts, not waking up freezing my ends off, not having to FORCE myself to wash my hands after the toilet because it's SO my-brain-is-going-to-explode-because-it-cannot-comprehend-it COLD!!!!!! ARGH! I can't wait to hear the soft thrumming of the CEILING FANS which I have come to absolutely love. I can't wait to lie on the smooth leather couch in the living room at home with a book in my hand. I can't wait to SEE ALL MY FRIENDS and hug them and look at their face in flesh, not through the laptop screen on Facebook. I can't wait To. Be. HOME! 


Oh I got a raise from my job. Yea. Will talk more about it next time. Going to go to bed now. Tired. Take care! =D =D 


SOOOONNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
