Summer, Summer, Summer

Your skin
Oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know you know I love you so
You know I love you so
--- "Yellow" by Coldplay

Summer has arrived. After last night's opening night for my school's performance of Wind of the Willows, I'm extremely tired. I could drop dead sleeping right... now... Only if I could, in the way. I have to leave home at 3pm to catch the 3:25 pm train, in which I don't want to go cause of track work and therefore, I have to catch the bus to the train station near my school, walk for about 10 minutes to my school then get ready for the play. Yes, I am not ready what so ever.


One thing I'm happy is that NaNoWriMo is finished for the year. I have thought what I should do it right for next year, one is to do Word Wars. If you a NaNo-er and don't know what Word War is, (I got explained by a friend called Jane who is a fellow NaNo-er) it's you have a partner and say how much words in a period of time in November. Whoever reaches that score, wins (theortically). I'm planing to do that with one of my friends that I met through NaNoWriMo.

It's (Australian time), 29 days left of 2009. I am thinking of my New Year's Resolutions (it's fun to break them, forget them and actually fail at them). Here is what I was thinking as my resolutions (debate with me if you will):
  1. To actually finish NaNoWriMo in 2010 - after two years or so not completing, I feel as a failure.
  2. To actually do well in Science, Japanese and (possibly) Maths in exams - study pretty much in those three subjects.
  3. Post more interesting blogs - maybe a year in a life of an "outcast" teenager.
Yes, three resolutions. Sorry for the side notes of all of them. I was thinking of my pen pals, like to wear a jacket or something (hehe Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants reference) and get some of my pen pals to do it. To get to know each other. I think I haven't told all my pen pals that I have another few pen pals in different/same country. But it probably won't work out, well it's just a feeling deep down inside of me thinking it won't work out.

Listening to: Car Wash by Christina Aguilera & Missy Elliot
Looking forward to:
Sunday - no more play
Least Looking forward to:
Me being in the play tonight with my cast - I have to say lines.
Reading:
Kiss (Jacqueline Wilson), Elsewhere (Gabrielle Zevin), The Book Theif (Markus Zusak) and Secret Scribbled Notebooks (Joanne Horniman)

Procrastinating is not a good medicine.

"Lookin' at , lookin' at, lookin' at me,
Look at that, look at how they're are lookin' at me,
Eyes all sticky like honey on bees,
Look at that, look at how they're lookin' at me"

A
s I try and do my half of my Geography assessment that is due tomorrow, study for a quiz on Japanese, do my forgotten PDH (Personal Development and Health) and NaNoWriMo, I should advoid, at all cost of procrastination. After it's not good if:
  1. You are doing NaNoWriMo and your word count is 4,380 words.
  2. You have a Geography assessment due tomorrow.
  3. Wind of the Willows - lines need to be learnt.
  4. Japanese assessment - STUDY
  5. Maths assessment task - find the forgotten sheet.
  6. Learn song for the Christmas concert in three weeks time.
Then I realise, after much thought, why on earth am I forcing myself to do all of these things? Am I that crazy to do NaNoWriMo when I should do it after I finish school in less than three years time? Are all the teachers torturing us with assessments that goes for year ten coursework mark in our report? Is everyone else crazy while I'm the only sane one here?

Apart from me being crazy and phycopathic, I felt horribly alone in Japanese. Apart from my friend who is the only other girl in my year doing Japanese, me being with three guys for an hour doing our "usual" (if you call it usual) things to our teacher. So a normal, "perfect" lesson. Well, I was alone in Japanese, I hardly talk and I just felt like I was day dreaming, all lesson. I hardly answer anything, just did my own work.
