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 :(

Yay indeed for holidays!

"I am finally moving onto it's significant other - the ugly senior uniform" LOL ange, so true though, but I still think it's better than junior.

I got 3 more CS Lewis books from the library today to read over the hols. I haven't really read a book since Harry Potter either...
