Stress Stress Stress

Stress est good for the heart and soul (insert tune... heart and soul.... lalallalalalaaaah)

The thing is that usually if I'm not stressed then I can't get anything done.

I have to be stressed.

It's a requirement of life.

I swear and my mum swears that I'm going to have a heart attack when I'm in my twenties

hahahaa

Today wasn't a very good day... Everything was just bad from when I woke up.

Oh but there was one thing good which was today was an autumn morning

=]]

It was awesome.

And then the sun came out and it was really really hot like right now...

But the autumn morning was good.

Autumn makes me smile.

So I was doing homework and maths was getting me in a tiz and the 2 essays I have to write are floating around in non-being...

I was getting really agitated and so I decided to make brownies.

Steph agreed that I should for the sake of my wellbeing hahaa

So I made alice medrich's cocoa brownies

It's quite a good recipe though I havent tasted the brownies yet...

I reduced very slightly (as in about 10g) the sugar and the flour...

They're cooling now

=]

I might bring them tomorrow as bribes for the shakespeare girls.

Or I might just eat them tonight by myself.

So...

Everyone's been talking about lantern yesterday.

It was alright.

I think last year was more fun because we actually did stuff.

I met lots of people who I didn't actually meet.

I think I met a lot of them at the bbq but yeah..

I still don't know their names.

I hate james.

He's so thin.

Guys should not be allowed to be that thin.

He's like the male version of Steph.

Both should have fat transplants.

Highlights of lantern...

• Dark mocha frapuccino (it's soooo goood......shame Winnie)
• 'Only one in nz' street artist with the south american thing with turpentine or something...
• Cages at Louis Vitton
• New season at Country Road (but I didn't go in =[[[[)

Hm... what else...

I was craving like burger and fries.... like the really good burger from burger fuel (not the whole thing) and fries and cold coke...

I'm making dinner tonight and I don't know what carb I'm going to make....

Noodles or lice or what?

Oh

Apparently mum froze this broth/soup

Alrighty

Broth/soup and udon

And now my mood is being ruined.

Slowly but surely.

Because he just came back from looking at the new house.

And theyre all in front of me talking about it.

And they're going to get rid of the really really pretty garden at the front.

And they're gonna put down cement and turn it into a carparking area.

It's seirously like....

My heart is breaking.

And I'm getting really pissed cz her perfume is fucking disgusting and I kind of want to throw up but I hear that's rude.

See.

Now I baked for nothing.

He and mum are both yelling at me now.

Saying that I'm being silly.

And the flower will be fine and it doesn't matter anyway.

FFS

Roses don't grow in marshlands for a reason.

Ew.

Smell.

Retch.

Arh.

Think brownies... brownies.... calm....

CALM DAMMIT

sigh.

I really should do my essays

But I cbf..

Priorities

I am concerned for the wellbeing of my education.

Not only are we doing a new qualification, but I have observed that our school does not have a great record.

The reason our school gets good marks overall I think is because intelligence comes to them, rather than them cultivating it. Our school is more about culture and society etc..

Sure SMT know the difference between appreciate and appreshiate but really..

Some of the girls in Orakei tutoring can hardly read themselves.

If they can read then they can't add 2 + 20.

I walked into s1 today and on the board was this stuff for year8 health and safety cooking prep and (it was written by the teacher) it said 'Group members will also need to be allocated rolls i.e. cook, leader, cleaner of dishes, in charge of toppings etc'

0.0

Of course she could be referring to the bread rolls (it is a cooking prep class) but i doubt there are artisan rolls called 'leader' or 'cleaner of dishes' or 'in charge of toppings'.

Sacre bleu.

Economics is so boring.

I think it's really the pace we are going at.

I can't even have enlightening debates with a classmate because a)class is too small and b)there is no one worth having a debate with.

At the beginning of the lesson the pe teacher was in and said that they were rostered on for this period in s1.

After deliberating for a while the other 3 members of my class decided that it would be a perfect time to have a free and go get a coffee from the cafe up the road.

I could hardly stand against a staff member and nearly 30 year8 kids on my own so I left to go wander around or find a teacher or visit another class or something... idk i was kinda lost.

But just as they came out of the sports centre our teacher came along and they were all overjoyed to see him when he suggested we go kick them out of the classroom.

The most exciting and interesting and worthwhile thing i learnt in the last half an hour is how to change my word from US English to UK English...

Seriously idk why the default is US.

They can't spell.

My theory is that a 'distinguished american gentleman' accidentally left the 'i' out of aluminium and rather than admit his stupidity, he decided that that is how they're going to spell it in america. Who is going to oppose him? Women? Servants?

I think not.

On another completely unrelated note, I want to go to HK in the holidays sometime (summer holidays or preferably september hols)...

Everyone's always raving about HK with it's shopping and lights and shopping and it's got quite a high hdi...

Oh and the shopping.

Have I mentioned the shopping??

Well I should go now... about to go to english...

One of the only departments that saves our 'community'.

New Blog

Damn Ms Donald.

Because of complications with my gmail accounts (before blogger made my hotmail my gmail and it all got very screwed up and confusing) my old profile got deleted.

From what I can tell my blog still exists, but my profile doesn't.

So it is permanently stuck like that.

But I suppose I am alright with what I have on there - Eugenio Montale is always a good one.

=]

It's going to be a complete pain to find all the blogs that I follow again...

But I'll get there eventually.

Needless to say, no homework was attempted in the making of this blog.

hahahahaaa

I'm going to make a layout sometime when I have time...

But for now, you can enjoy 'minima black' and its bleak wonders.

Tata,
