It started off as "Holidays" but I'm not sure what to call this anymore..

So after 11 long weeks (2 of which were exam-filled), it's finally holidays. And after 4 years of the ugly junior uniform, I am finally moving onto it's significant other - the ugly senior uniform*.

Well. I'm not really sure what to say. Except that I am reading a good book, and am looking forward to reading other good books these holidays. I haven't completed a good book (or really, any book) since Harry Potter (but even still, my mind is undecided about whether it was actually good). That's what school does to you, alright.


*Note: It didn't used to be so ugly, but my school has this obsession with making the life of our year group pretty miserable. They ruin/abolish anything slightly good (work experience - we didn't do it), introduce things we'd rather not have had introduced (Armidale - well it wasn't that bad, but the work was boring, and the place is a hole that's 8 long bus hours away) and change horrible things the year after we had to endure them (yr 7 camp - hiking isn't my thing...niether is peeing behind a termite mound). They decided all this wasn't enough, and hence changed the senior "blouse" just as we are about to changeover and made it compulsory to wear the new one.




P.S. While writing this blog I discovered two important things:

1) With more exposure to the extensive amount of punctuation in the English language (or in any langauge I spose), I have become quite sucky at constructing sentences. I tend to use every other form of punctuation BUT the full stop, which often results in one massively confusing sentence. I also noticed this when I recieved my Science exam, in which I wrote a whole fat "extended answer" in 3 sentences, the first 2 merely restating the question. Opps.

2) This new blog spot sucks, you can't cut-and-paste :(

We were meant to live for so much more...

Life not death
Love not hate
Selflessness not selfishness
Smiles not frowns
Faith not indifference
Doubt not ignorance
D'n'M's not superficial chit-chat
Empathy not apathy
Laughter not tears
Hope not hopelessness
Generosity not greed
Spuring not stirring
Companionship not isolation
Joy not despair
Patience not impatience
Opinion not disregard
...Have we lost ourselves?

Blogger.com - Home of my new blog

A long time ago, I got over my myspace blogging and accepted to do some confidential work for another. However, recently, I decided that I needed a new blog spot. So now, I have moved onto bigger and better things here at www.epitome-of-an-epiphany.blogspot.com, where you can make my procrastination a little worth while - and perhaps procrastinate a bit yourself - by reading my blogs. Enjoy :)
P.S. Anyone who uses these blogs - what region do I set the time to? It's not working :S
