The theme is the good ole "No Particular Theme" theme

So my internet is slow at the moment and beside making me want to learn how to hack into other peoples' faster internet I know a quick fix to the problem will probably be an ineffective measure much like the pull-out method. I'm just going to have to suck it up and bear with the African dial up connection speeds inflicted upon me by the cruel internet-speed God (damn you!).

Life is, like many other IB students' lives, hectic (by 'hectic' I mean 'busy' and by 'busy' I mean 'filled with spiritually-enriching activities' and by 'spiritually-enriching activities' I mean 'painful shit that reminds me of that one near-death experience I had, and, subsequently how unfortunate I believe I now am having to do IB'). That reminds me, when I was a kid I remember almost drowning in a river, and now I can't swim. So moral of the story ... nature sucks. 

Lately I've been getting annoyed with people getting uppity about pointless things. It's like 'suppress the brown guy's opinion' week or something, which I would usually be down for, if the previously afforementioned brown guy were not me : (

Seriously people need to relax at my school. I know things are tense and everyone is generally pretty high-strung--I got to the school as well -_-'' so it's not like I'm saying this as an outsider, but I don't see the point in starting an argument about me saying 'I'm not really sure about the difference between HL and SL English, or if the difference is that great at all".  

maybed I'm just cranky because ...

Aaaaaah I miss my mum xD
She left on Saturday with my dad to Samoa for two weeks and before she left we talked and now I feel like she would love me no matter what decisions I make in life (I.e. relating to university course selections, future career goals) . Even though I should've known that beforehand, the confirmation was still nice : ) 

    

"oh wow, how non-descript!"

So last night I got home at around 6PM, and entered my completely dark, empty house. "Good, I can walk around nekkid," I thought (    ...    what? I only thought it). Yesterday was the school cross country which made for a surprisingly enjoyable day. Seeing as though it was cross country I was a little dirty and tired. I tried calling a bunch of people because I needed someone to keep me awake, but noone picked up their phones. I didn't even run/complete the actual course which makes me sound very unfit ... yeah, okay then. I was too tired to go shower so before I fell asleep I made my way to my sister's room to sleep in her bed, while I was home-alone, so that I wouldn't make my bed unclean. Yay for siblings! 

Fast forwarding a bit past the sleep I decided to expand my repertoire of Karaoke songs so I've been checking out some of Wang Li Hong's older "chinked out" rap songs. Heroes of Earth is pretty cool. Just thought it was worth mentioning because the upcoming holidays are only a week so it's not long enough to slack off and enjoy life ^ ^

Before I slept thought I browsed the net for a bit, and dad kept calling my name. I kept thinking I was getting in trouble because he would shout my name, I would go over to him, then he would tell me to turn on the tv or get his phone. The one thing he was actually yelling angrily at me was for leaving the buttons done up on a shirt that came back in the laundry. 

So what else is on my mind?

-Well break starts tomorrow, except it's only one week =/

So I don't think there'll be sufficient time to learn everything I need to know/revise, but I shouldn't let this stop me from trying

-My unseen english commentary

Even though I did poorly on the practice oral commentaries in class I don't feel too anxious about the real thing, but I will probably feel a lot worse the closer it gets. I wish I felt more scared about it now, get the fear out of the way. 

-getting serious about school

Well yeah Ib yeah year twelve yeah blah blah blah

-msn not working

Since msn is no longer working well, I guess I won't be going online as much ... which is good for my studying. Yay.
