Bookmarks
...I have too many. Dear god soo many bookmarks. It's gonna take me forever to sort through them.
(sorry if this doesn't make sense,just ignore)
Don't know if it's because of the recent flood of birthday parties, but I was wondering what I would do if I had a party. My dad did offer that I could hold a party, except me being lazy, I can't be bothered organizing it.^.^' But I had ideas of what I'd do though..
Well, I wouldn't do one of those standing around parties because I'd get bored myself and would have to mingle too much.. so it would be like those parties I guess you would have when your younger hwere you play games and stuff.
I'd separate our friendship group into two teams- as a team you would have earn points to beat the others. You'd have to elect a member of the team to participate in a challenge. To get points..hmm... I think I'd start with a trivia maybe or one of those buzz with your name games- if you answer wrong you have to eat sushi with wasabi as a punishment, then a karaoke with singstar..then some sort of billiard round. Hmm..other games: there was this one in China I remember playing, there is a room full of balloons and you have to pop them all and collect the little mouth pieces. If is a hot day, maybe some pool challenge where you have to collect something and swim back. And then the winning team will get some sort of prize, while the losing team will get some participation thing or something. After that, we could just sit around talking or watch a movie.. Yeah. Does any of this make any sense??? Hmm... maybe I should have a party or maybe I shouldn't.. I kinda don't want my family hovering too much though. So embarrassing..
And my grandma is coming back in two weeks!!!!At the moment, I can't say I hate her that much, because things have become a lot peaceful with her gone. It could be the fact that I don't have the same stress when being in Yr 12 and her constant complaining. I'm kinda anticipating if things will go back to how they were before she left, or will things remain the same. I'm hoping for the latter. Sigh....

Disabling 3G
Okay, so yesterday my parents got my phone bill. Supposedly I exceeded my plan or something which ended up being a bit expensive. The thing is, it wasn't my fault. On the bill it said something about my internet usage, or 'packet data' being over the limit. I've only ever used WLAN or so I thought. Being paranoid, I turned off my phone to prevent anymore internet usage without me knowing till I found out the cause of the problem. Anyway, this morning I woke up being peeved because stupid Nokia decided to make us spend more $. I think I found the problem- 3G. The stupid thing has been draining my batteries and using the internet without my knowledge!! Grrr. So anyway, I think I've managed to delete it after one hour of searching on google with no luck. Now I'm just waiting for the next phone bill. (Oh and my sis racked up an even higher bill than me- about double I think? No idea what her problem is though)

Little Swallow
Anyone heard of the nursery rhyme? I just found out that there was a second verse, and a rather depressing one actually.
An english translation of it:
Little swallow, dressed colorfully,
Comes here every spring,
I asked her, "Why do you come here?"
She said, "The spring here is the most beautiful."
Little swallow, let me tell you,
It's more beautiful here this year.
We've built large factories,
And equipped new machines,
Please live here forever.
Yeah anyway, this was mainly because of this flash I saw..

So today I went to the course information session. I arrived around 20 minutes early, but there were already heaps of people there. Was kinda awkward so I just sat there and stared at a wall. When they were about to begin I spotted Steph, thank god. When I collected my booklet from the pile, there were hardly any people taking up my course. That's so depressing. So basically the info session was a basic run down of all the stuff I've already been through on their site-how to enrol, what courses etc.
Overall I'm not looking forward to having to travel in unfamiliar territory, but I could get used to it.
Anyway, I just finished enrolling into the courses because my mum found my TFN. And my passport. Omg I'm such an ugly kid. That picture was from way back, I wonder if it'll be good enough for my ID?

Ok, so I figured out where the form was. On the stupid website. Duh. All I need is my TFN which my parents should have. But I bet they lost it.
I should start looking at stuff I can apply for in Centrelink..should help. And I wonder if I can get my Youth Allowance from mum.. she's been taking it from me since I got it (I had no idea until like two years ago?) And now I have to find a job somewhere.. honestly, who on earth would hire a student with no experience?? Well I want some kind of boring job.. maybe to do with filing and stuff? Do people offer that anymore? All part time jobs seem to be waitressing or some sort of shop assistant..

HECS-HELP
OMG this is soo bloody long!!! I've read 41 pages out of the 68 pages and it's really lonnnngggg.
It's sort of confusing because I haven't quite finished reading it yet, and I'm kinda wondering where to get the form to apply for HECSHELP. There's also this bit where it tells you when you start repaying your HELP debt, and it all depends on your income. Supposedly when your income is above the minimum threshold which is $43150. I am not sure if this is correct, because that seems like alot. What would be your minimum wage and for how many hours would you have to work to get that much in a year?
Well, for now I'll just keep reading till I've finished.. hopefully it'll all make sense.

Okay, so I did get an offer. Offer at Monash Uni(Caulfield) for Multimedia and Digital Arts. It was my second preference, so I'm pretty happy I guess. I'm not sure if it's going to be a convenient uni to get to though. And why are the enrolment dates so close too? I have to go to an info session this Friday, and enrol next week on Wednesday.
I'm also freaking out as to how I'm going to pay for this. My parents don't want to pay for me anymore, so this means I'm going to need to get a job. That sucks. Well hopefully everyone got into whatever they wanted and if not, good luck for next offers. I'm still hoping too.

Isn't this exciting, waiting for 1st round offers? The suspense..it's killing me here. Well I'm sure I would have managed to get into something, just hopefully something good. Can anyone help me answer this one question: if we accept a round 1 offer, do we still get round 2 and 3 offers?
I hope there aren't anymore parties that I'm invited to.. I'm already broke now.. when do people plan to get their part time jobs( if you plan to that is)?

GAH!!!
Spent the morning worrying about something and then found out my laptop had a virus. Took about half of my day away..grrrrr..DON'T DOWNLOAD REALPLAYER!!!!
I'd never would have though real player was the problem but supposedly it's got all these bugs and whatnot. A swear I remember it being a good program long time ago..wasn't it green once upon a time?

Happy New Year
Happy New Year!!! As we enter 2010, we are yet again faced with a whole new year to look forward to, a time which I hope to improve myself for the better. I can't believe time has gone by so fast that I've actually graduated for high school- I'm going to miss the same old routine for the past 6 years.
I'm not good with kind of stuff- thinking about the future etc. it really just worries me when I give it a second of thought. So I'll talk about something else. (I'll save warrnambool for later)
Okay, recently been invited to a few parties ( I'm sure you know) and it just annoys me whenever I see the times for them. Why does it always have to be at night??? It's probably very convenient for everyone else but it's always been a problem for me. I feel guilty asking my parents to drive me to this place and that. I know they're very tired all the time- waking up at 5 something and going to sleep late at night, getting only around 6 hrs sleep after a hard day of work.. I know this because of all the times I had to wake up with them to go to work, and I didn't have to stand and work for such long hours. So driving there and then picking me up that late would probably just make them feel even more tired..
You know, I've always wanted to become more independent. I've never really thought myself as being independent, always feeling the need to rely on others. But once my sister said that I was independent, I was kind of surprised. Now when I think about it, I've always tried to do things by myself, trying to make things easier for others if possible. But sometimes I feel that with no one to talk to, I lack the self confidence to keep going. It's my own fault really, I've never really tried to become good friends with anyone, probably just distancing myself away from everything...
Personally I feel blogging does help lessen the stress I always feel, it feels nice to just keep typing. I hope that this can help others understand me better, as this is probably the easiest way for me to interpret my feelings with others. With time, I'll eventually let go of whatever is in my heart and I hope that my friends will always be here. :)
