The pain I can deal with. I'm just so freakin sick of being so immobile!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't like feeling helpless.

So at least I'll get some study done today. My mums gonna call the doctor's when it opens and see if i can get an appointment.

Well, as I mentioned, it is my 100th post, so I'm glad its something big! :D

Hehe. 'Smitten' is a cool word! :D It can be the smite version or the love version. I think thats cool.

Ugh. Science and Commerce are confusing me atm. And we seem to be getting even more homework on top of all the study and tests we have to do. Me, Dylan, and Mil are patoently waiting for something to click in Commerce, but it just ain't doin it for us atm. lol. Actually, I think that Mil got it today. And me and Dylan are getting there... slowly.

And our Science teacher oh so kindly informed us that we have a Science test on Monday. Gee, thanks for that. You know, maybe next time it would be nice to tell us more than three days before! I mean, its not like we haven't got 10 tests and 3 assignments that are due in REALLY soon! FAR OUT!

Anyway, rant about school over. lol

Everyhting apart from that is good. :D

Its really weird. I keep getitng these random happiness moments when it hits me just how good life is! :D Seriosuly, think about it. Good country, good income, good parents, good syblings, good mind, good school, good grades (mostly), REALLY good friends, good health. It is all so freakin good. lol

Random thoguth- Wouldn't it be better to be a pesimist? Coz pesimists are always pleasently surpried. lol

The Letters are Dancing

Not much else to report.

But my school jumper now smells like beef flavouring...

Just rode up that massive hill again. I think I'm getting fitter. Its not as hard as it used to be, and I don't feel like collapsing after riding up it. lol

Ugh! I hate half yearlys! They suck! So much work to do. :(

Hehe. Rock Bottom.

Hey, you know the phrase, 'hit rock bottom'. lol. Think about it in the other sense. You could say 'hit rock ass'. lol :-P



Hey! Guees what! Coz of something Pyro said the other day, I've decided to save the world in some way. When I'm older. I'm going to start an organization that solves world hunger, or global warming, or ozone depletion or child abuse or anything along those lines! Or maybe everything along those lines! :-D OMG! I'm gonna save the world, you just watch me! And yeah yeah yeah, I'm just one person. But I am me after all. :-D

Ugh. I'm sick AND have to do homework. :(

Do you know how much freakin homework I have? The rest of my family went out to this fair this morning and I had to stay home coz I had mountains of homework. I hate half yearlys. The tests aren't that bad, its just the assignments that I hate. :(

AND I'm sick atm. Last night my throat was killing me, and this morning my throat is worse and I've got a headache and I keep sneezing. :( This definitely makes my 'worst weekends ever' list. :(

And I'm really cold as well. Atm I've got my school jacket on (its one of the warmest jackets I have) and a blanket wrapped around me.

Hey! Maybe its swine flu... I'm gonna google it.

While that is loading, I got this in a FW email.

Ok, symptoms of swine flu.

What are the signs and symptoms of this virus in people?
The symptoms of this new H1N1 flu virus in people are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with this virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting. Also, like seasonal flu, severe illnesses and death has occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus.
From- http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/qa.htm

I've probably just got a normal cold.

Oh! That reminds me! I love this article. It was in our reading English test.

Teenage Sleep
All parents of teenagers have seen the changes that happen with puberty - the growth spurts, the mood changes, and also, the unlimited ability to sleep in on weekends. But this altered sleep pattern is not the teenageers being bone-lazy or anti-social - no, instead, it is their changing biology, lurking deep inside their brains.
How much you sleep depends on your age. Newborn babies will sleep, in a series of naps, for 16-18 hours per day. By age 5, this is down to about 11 hours, and continues to drop with age - until puberty and adolescence start. Then sleeping time increases again. Puberty lasts to about 17.5 years in boys, and 16 years in girls, as measured by the end of bone growth. But adolescence continues for a few more years.
Adolescence is that awkward time between childhood and adulthood. During adolescence, the natural circadian rhythm is mightily interfered with. First, there is a distressing delay in the onset of sleep, probably due to the later release of melatonin. I remember lying in bed as a teenager, listening to my parents' chiming clock mark away the night, before I would eventually drop off to sleep. Sometimes I would hear it run through 10 sets of quarter hours - two-and-a-half hours - before I finally fell asleep. So when the teenager says that they are not tired at 11 pm, they are usually being truthful. The second biological change is that adolescents need more sleep - between 9 and 10 hours every night. Indeed, one marker of the end of adolescence is the switch to the shorter and earlier adult sleep hours. This happens, on average, at 19.5 years in women, and 20.9 years in men.
This all means that the teenage years are very messy, in terms of sleep. They can't get to sleep early, and they need more sleep.
For adolescents, an early bedtime is, in most cases, simply biologically impossible. Adolescents need 9-10 hours of sleep, but often have to start school early - even earlier if they do sports. I am still getting up at 4.30 am to drive my daughter to rowing training. You can see the effects of this sleep deprivation when an adolescent switches over from holidays to regular school. When school term starts, they will sleep for two hours fewer on weeknights, and try desperately to make it up on the weekends. The result is that your average high-school student is sleep-walking through their school day, in a semi-permanent state of sleep deprivation.

Well, thats half of the article anyway.

My Lollies! :(

I left a bag with five lollies in it next to the computer for ten minutes and I come back and they're gone! :(

Finally talked to Stella this arvo! MISSED HER SO MUCH! We've decided that we're gonna call each other every Saturday night from now on, and after our half yearlys are finished we're gonna have a party to celebrate. Well, not a real party. It'll just be a sleepover, watching a couple hundred episodes of NCIS (and definitely Lie To Me if the series is out on DVD by the time this sleep over happens), eating waaaaay too much junk, staying up waaaaaaay too late then waking up at like, 10 the next morning with a waaaaaaaaay too massive sugar hangover. lol. That's mine and Stella's version of a party. And hopefully Essie will be able to come. She's Stel's friend, and I luv her to bits, but only ever talk to her when we're both over at Stella's. She actually jumped out a window to escape her maths teacher. lol.

New Stripe! :D:D:D

I just sewed the new stripe on my taekwondo belt. There's sopmething very satisfying about it. :D:D:D:D:D lol :D:D:D

Anyway, is sewed even a word? My brain isn't working right this morning. lol

Do you ppls ever get those days when your hand is unco and its harder to write than usual. Or maybe thats just me... lol

Crap! I still haven't called Stella. Damn it! I'll do it tonight.

Yawn (Again)

I went to sleep this arvo. Stayign up until 10:30 last night was definitely a bad idea.

Crap! I was meant to call Stella this arvo. Damn it. I'll call her tonight.

That's about it atm.

Btw, I passed my grading! :D:D:D:D

The winners of those writing comps I've entered still haven't coem back. :Z

I mean, how long does it take? Well, I guess there was 45oo entries for one of them... lol

Yawn. :O

Ugh. Been so tired lately. Its probably something to do with the fact that I stay up reading/writing until around 10:30. lol. I just can't stop when I'm on a roll. I've really got to go to bed earlier. lol. Dylan's been heaps tired too lately, but he said he goes to bed at like, 8:30. lol.

So not much else to report. But had a maths test today. It was harder than the English ones, and I finished with only ten minutes to spare on the noncalculator section. Can't remember how I did in the calculator section. But then again, we only got 40mins to do these ones, whereas we got 45mins-65mins to do the English ones.

Ugh! There are like, no good taekwondo pictures from my club to use as a desktop bckground on my computer. Atm its a newspaper article titled, 'More than just the martial arts.'. Its an interveiw that they did with an instructor. Its not great, but its the best I've got... lol. I had to change it coz me bros were sick of having it as a Twilight pic. lol

Btw, vote on my poll ppls!

Wii Fit + Other Random Stuff

So for Mothers' Day my mum got a Wii Fit, and my bros have been on it nonstop. lol. She's hardly gotten a go.

I'm gonna try out for a uni course. They're offering it to gifted and talented kids. So I fit that category perfectly. lol ;P I was getting some info from the deputy pricipal today and she was saying that there was alot of interest from the seniour students in the course, so it will be hard for me to get in. But meh. I'll never know until I try!

I've got a taekwondo grading soon! Can't wait! I'm pretty sure I'll pass. My Sabum Nim wouldn't of let me grade if he didn't think that I was ready. :) CAN'T WAIT!

Btw, Sabum Nim translates to 'honourable instructor'. Just thought I'd chuck that in for those of you who aren't fluent in Korean. ;)

Tests Which We Are All WAY Too SMart For

Today we did this national test and it was meant to take 45mins, but I finished it in the first ten, and I'm pretty sure everyone was finished it after 25mins. lol, it just goes to show how awesomely smart my year/school is. :D

Survior! YEW!

Just heard this on iTunes and now I can't get it out of my head, so I thought posting it on here might help somehow. Or perhaps get it in to someone elses head, so you can suffer along with me.

This is just the 1st verse and chorus, which are the bits that are stuck in my head.

Survivor- Destiny's Child

(Verse 1)
Now that you are out of my life, I'm so much better,
You thought that I'd be weak without ya,
But I'm stronger,
You thought that I'd be broke without ya,
But I'm richer,
You thought that I'd be sad without ya,
I laugh harder,
You thought I wouldn't grow without ya,
Now I'm wiser,
You thought that I'd be helpless without ya,
But I'm smarter,
You thought that I'd be stressed without ya,
But I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without ya,
Sold nine million.

[Chorus]
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm not gonna give up (what),
I'm not gon' stop (what),
I'm gonna work harder (what),
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm gonna make it (what),
I will survive (what),
Keep on survivin'

Yawn. SO Tired.

Don't ask why, but I spent the majority of the day dressed as a fat person. And now I'm really tired. Yawn. I want to go to bed.

Random Noises

lol. In this maths test we had, it was dead silent and then a few rooms down we just heard 'its a small world' playing coz sumone was watchin Shrek. lol. It was heaps funny.

That also happened in taekwondo when there was dead silence and then you just heard our instructor's phone going off, and it was Homer going, 'Da da da-da, hey! Da da da da da-da! HEY!' lol. We couldn't stop laughing. lol

So I'm missing my grading but my instructor said he can grade me in class next week! :D

Most Random Song Eva

Forget the most random song lyrics, I have found one of the most random songs ever. The Night That Never End by the Cat Empire. lol. It goes for 9mins 35secs. lol. Thats a lot of ramdomness.

Ugh

Atm I am feeling tired and sick. Tired coz I staryed up to 12:00 last night, and sick because I ate these jellybeans this morning, and I'm not quite sure how old they are. :S

Well, I have now thrown out the jellybeans. *Shudder* I don't know how long it will be until I will be able to eat a jellybean without remembering this. lol

I'm going wolf

This was from a few days ago, but anyway. They have picked the actors who will play the werewolves in New Moon. :D. Look at the pick and see why I'd choose wolves over vampires any day. ;P

First look: 'Wolf pack' actors grin and bare it for 'New Moon'
By James White

Step aside, aloof vampires with all your undead issues. The wolf pack is ready to howl.
Unlike cold-blooded neck biters, these poster guys for animal magnetism are hot. So hot that their temperature runs a steady 108 degrees, as anyone who has read Stephenie Meyer's series of gothic romances knows.
That gives them a great excuse to doff their shirts on-screen and expose the physiques they've been pumping up for playing werewolves in The Twilight Saga:New Moon, the sequel to last year's supernatural sensation, due Nov. 20.
Four actors — Chaske Spencer, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon and Bronson Pelletier, all with Native American heritage — join Taylor Lautner, 17, who returns as a hairier, scarier Jacob Black. The plotline finds Jacob growing closer to a distraught Bella (Kristen Stewart) after her vampire beau, Edward, runs off.
Among wolf pack job requirements: the ability to work half-naked no matter what the weather in the Vancouver, B.C., area, where the film has been shooting for several weeks.
"It's not pleasant for the actors," says director Chris Weitz. "But they have all been good-natured. They show up on location in drenching, cold rain, and I say, 'OK, off with the robes.' "

lol. Can't wait until New Moon comes out! :D:D:D:D:D

UUGGGGHHH. So freakin FULL!

I am so completely full from today. Me and some friends got together and we had HEAPS of food, but we ate it all anyway. And now I've had a massive dinner coz it was too good not to eat. Ugh. SOOOOOOOO fulllllll.

Good news: I am ready for my next taekwondo grading already! :D Bad news: I can't make it coz thats when me and some of my friends are going to this comp which we have been working on for at least 3/4 of a year. Ugh. :( I'm dreading telling my instructor. I think I was the only one ready to go to this gradign, and now I'm bailing on him. Ugh. I hate to disappoint him. He works so hard to be a good instructor.

cya peeps
