Badda-bing!

I really can't wait for the Olympics to be over! I miss my televison! But today was very exciting because the IQ box started finding shows again! Yay! Bones on Monday! Too good! Its Sweet's first episode I think!

I just spent the last hour and a half collating my Maths survey results. Super fun. Luckily I did it in pencil cos I kept missing one when I was collating (I realised later that one of them had fallen between the two feet seats)

Seeing as my good television has disappeared for the duration of the Olympics I've been ODing myself on the FOX8 Animation Domination and I have to say, 6 hours of continous cartoons is likely to turn your brain to mush. Mine's started dribbling out of my ears (but that might be from concentrating too hard)

I broke a mug today, Mum was NOT impressed. Not that it was my fault, WE NEED A COFFEE TABLE! Whatever. Her fault for giving me her mug. I only make myself coffee in our cheap and crappy mugs. 'Cause I'm smart, yo.

I think this blog has turned into a way to stay up while I try and study for a Maths exam tomorrow, but the problem is I'm blogging so ... no studying. Good on you, Sian! Maybe I should go to sleep and study in my free period tomorrow? Anyone want to go to school for me tomorrow? (this means YOU, Sarah!)

I got some of the best news EVER today! I was stressing over this Studies of religion assignment I have due on Friday and my SOR teacher comes into my homeroom and gives EVERYONE a TWO WEEK EXTENSION! Yeah, baby!

I'm rather tired.

I leave you with yawns and wishes of good television.

Exams

This blog is very, very, very, veryveryveryvery late. There, of course, is a terribly lame reason for this lateness. I like television and I have been avoiding the computer for television... Oh, well. '

I had half-yearly exams during the last two weeks of school. Yeah, setting us up for the HSC - GREAT! I had 8 exams to do: Music (Musicology), Music (Aural), Maths General, Studies of Religion II, Advanced English, Extension English, Legal Studies and Modern History.

I thought I did well in all of them (except Legal Studies - I didn't study for it) I was hoping for As or Bs in all of them (except Legal Studies for the above reason, but I thought I did better in some than I actually did.

Modern History, for example, I spent weeks making study cards that I cut up and covered in plastic. I made them about EVERYTHING we were going to need to know. EVERYTHING. I made 140 cards. It was a long and painful experience but I knew all of the answers. I sat down for the test and I didn't need any of it. All of my studying was worthless. I ended up only getting 51/80 for the test.

Advanced English sucked because Ms Mav marked mine and she's not very good at leaving comments so I don't know what I did wrong other than "not enough depth". I know its not an excuse but I was never taught how to properly write essays, ever. People think I have this advantage because of my English teacher mum, and that I have some amazing ability at English but they're wrong. I suck at English. I don't know how to punctuate correctly, I can't write essays, the only skill I have in English is that I write kick-ass speeches. Way to be humble.

Extension English I was proud of my 16/20, Its a high B, thats my second best score but I know, I KNOW, I dragged Iris down. Her speech was really good and deserved and A but we were marked in pairs which sucks because one partner will always be better than the other and the three best students in my class were dragged down, so, that sucks.

Music is the only subject I'm really really proud of. In my Viva Voca (Musicology Section) I topped my class (I got 20/20) and I also topped in the Aural section. So, suck on that Samantha.

So, to conclude, I pretty much am sucking at school.

Red Nail Polish

Rory: Yes, but I'm going to be wearing shoes. Nobody's going to see my feet.
Lorelai: Okay, but everybody knows that private school girls are bad. And bad girls always wear red nail polish.


In 4 days, 8 hours and 3 minutes I start my first day of year 11. So, of course, I've been preparing for school. Buying supplies, covering books (television themed this year), altering uniforms, buying new shoes, and- because of the quote above -I painted my toenails red.

They're shiny. Very, very shiny. And, now, I'm a "bad, private school girl". Yeah, baby.

I'm watching the Ocean's movies. Definitely my favourite movie series. Just the best actors ever.

Sixteen, Spicks and Speck, Sick and Senior Skirts.

After a long break, Sian Lee has finally returned to Blogger Land. Perhaps its because of her late night insomnia/boredom, or perhaps she was sick of getting pestered by her friend Jayden, or maybe it could be because of her cold, or maybe, its because she’s now 16?

Yes, that’s correct, little Sian Lee has reached the “mature” age of 16. She doesn’t feel like she’s become any different since the 11th of January (her final day of being fifteen) except maybe for the couple of new books that have found a home on her bookshelf and the green socks she got from Kmart.

Oh, and she’s heckled.

Yes, Sian Lee heckled for the first time ever on her birthday. She attended “Spicks and Specks-Tacular” with her brothers and her mother. The show was excellent and the house band “The Specktors” were awesome. She answered many questions and her brother had a short conversation with Adam Hills. At the end of the show Adam Hills was thanking the stage crew and the … stage manager (perhaps?), Hamish, flipped Adam Hills the bird. So, Sian Lee jumped up and yelled “YEAH! GO HAMISH!” Alan Brough thought it was hilarious. Sian Lee was proud.

But, Sian Lee is getting off track. Its because she’s all confused from her cold. Yes, Sian Lee has finally caught her annual summer cold. She’s really enjoying it. Hopefully it will go away soon.

Sian Lee and her mother went to buy her senior uniform on Saturday, Sian Lee enjoyed making loud comments about how the uniform shop ladies were scam artists.

She doesn’t think anyone else did.

Mwa ha ha! We're so stupid

Today I went on a Careers excursion to THREE UNIVERSITIES! We went to:
- University of Notre Dame, Sydney
- University of Technology, Sydney
- University of Sydney, Sydney (No, duh.)

I liked Notre Dame except of the whole church thing. It was REALLY pretty. UTS was definitely my favourite because it has a really welcoming atmosphere and it seems like a really fun place. Uni of Sydney was a hole. A pretty hole. But a hole none the less.

My mum and I both locked ourselves out today. Awesome-o!

=D

*insert one Mufasa YAWN*

I'm so lazy today~

My mum let me stay home from school today because she was against having to pay five dollars for meditation because my teachers are too lazy to teach us. *winks* Best. Mum. Ever.

So I stayed at home and did two hours of scanning for Carolin (my boss) and now I've watched 6 episodes of Scrubs (two of which I've already watched already today ;D)

Its really freaking hot. But. GOOD NEWS!!!oneoneone!! Criminal Minds may have stopped filming because of the gay Writer's Strike but (YAY) its ONE SEASON BEHIND IN AUSTRALIA so WE STILL GET IT! YAYAYYAYAYA! I'm so excited! ONE TELEVISION SHOW!

OH! MILKSHAKE TIME! Gotta go meet my mum! *waves*

LOVE STIX!

P.S. Like my new layout? I found it on the Internet! Thanks to the person who made it~

A little late, eh Sian?

I'm a bit slow with the blogging so I got a few things to write about, yo.

I finished the School Certificate! (YAY!) and even though I have a month of wondering how I did I feel so refreshed, I stepped out of the Computing Skills test and I was like *breathes a sight of relief*. It was awesome. =]

That doesn't seem like I've written much about the SC, LOL!, good onya Sian.

I went on Retreat on Thursday, and for those of you who don't know what a retreat is its essentially a church camp. Yeah, totally a place you can imagine me, right? It was AWESOME (please note the sarcasm). We had to stop and pray so often. Opening prayer, closing prayer, guided reflections, grace before every meal, singing about God, writing letters to God. You name it we did it.

We also got split up into "mini groups" which meant we were stuck in a group of nine with strangers from out year, luckily, my group is aout 1/3 of my year so we all got at least one friend with us. I was in a group with: Stephanie, Amy, Codie, Jade, Danielle, Denise, T-Lad (her nickname, don't know how to spell her real name), and Catherine. Our group leader, Lam, was this huge American who was in the Army. I'm so glad I didn't get Kiara Kim's brother or the Mr Eirth look alike.

There's heaps to write about and I may fill you in on it later, but its freaking hot in my room and I need to go eat some icecream! OH! But first, we played poker at night. I sucked ;D

Love Stix

--Oh, and an early HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! to Jayden. You're my hero, dude!

Welcome to Post Number 50

WARNING: Teenage girls all get their ranting time. This is mine.

I've noticed really recently that my close group of friends that I talk to everyday has gotten considerably smaller. I remember the days when I knew heaps about every person in the group I sit with and I considered them all friends. Now, I look around my lunchtime's circle and see people that I don't even know.

I know that I won't get along with a lot of them, maybe because of different tastes, and opinions, but there's old friends who I only talk to in awkward, rambling conversations. I really wish I could be closer friends with these people but if I try will we just drift apart again?

I wonder sometimes if many of these people even like me, my wonderings further fueled by the fact that the majority of my group was invited to a birthday party and I was one of the few left out, what's even sadder is that I considered the birthday girl a good friend, we share many classes and I talk to her on a regular basis. Maybe my thoughts were not shared.

At school I hear my "friends" talking about how they visit each other blogs nightly, its like some sort of strange teenaged ritual, whereas my blog has one, maybe two readers.

I love my close friend, the five girls that I talk to everyday and share everything with, but is it bad for me to want more? I know I should appreciate what I have and how completely awesome my friends are, but...

I don't know.

Gotta make a move to a town that's right for me

Seeing as I have Funky Town by Pseudo-Echo stuck in my head I'm going to write a blog (cos Jayden is an loser) and copy/paste the lyrics from Funky Town into the blog. Sounds fun, eh?

Gotta make a move to a
town that's right for me
Town to keep me movin'
Keep me gvoovin' with some
energy.


Come on. How is that not the GREATEST song in the world ever? Except for about 6 other songs I like WAY WAY WAY more. Speaking of songs, on Friday I'm going to see Snow Patrol! Woo! Yay! Woo!

Well, I talk about it,
Talk about it,
Talk about it,
Talk about it,
Talk about, Talk about,
Talk about movin,


Now that. Is a stupid bridge-y thing. Its not very entertaining but it is HELLA catchy. Oh! Also, on APEC Friday, I'm going to NEWTOWN with the "Friday Gang" (which I get to be in if I pretend to be a bogan/westy or a De La boy). We're going to a Vegan restuarant. I'm going to have Not_Pork buns. Yes, that name includes the underscore. Cool huh?

Gotta move on.
Gotta move on.
Gotta move on


My chest hurts. Not cool. I know thats a rather lousy start of a paragraph-y thing but its true and about me. And this blog (and the universe) revolve around me. =D And they say I'm full of myself. (Its okay, I killed them).

Won't you take me to
Funkytown.
Won't you take me to
Funkytown.
Won't you take me to
Funkytown.
Won't you take me to
Funkytown.


Thats the part of the song I don't like so much, cos its like... not as cool as the start. Man, I'm so tired. Sian has not been sleeping well lately. Its cos its cold, then its hot, then its cold.

I've run out of lyrics but the site I stole them off says "Repeat" so if you want them to repeat go scroll up

I handed in my LAST hand in assessment of year 10 today. Pretty cool huh? Although, it is leading up to like a hundred exams to do. Lame. Lame. Lame.

Okay, I should sleep soon.

Night all.

Love Stix

Sucky Subjects, New Words and Cold Feet

Today as I am a year 10 student who will (next year) be in year 11 I had to go with my mum to this subject talk thing, lets just say, after a long time of listening to some lady talk, then some other lady talk, then my favourite teacher talk, we got our subject selection forms. Oh, and I should say that I've had my subjects decided on since last year.

- Advanced English
- Music
- Modern History
- Society and Culture
- General Maths
- Some Churchie thing that I have to do

and so I have to choose one subject from each line and... and... and-FREAKING-AND MUSIC AND SOCIETY AND CULTURE ARE IN THE SAME DAMN LINE! So I might have to do music and legal studies instead.

*sighs angrily*

On to more brighter news, Mr B made up and new word today. emotardity; When you're confronted with no longer rare form of emO creature that has become so self-involved and immersed in shitty emO lyrics they no longer function like a human being with a reasonable IQ, hence the fusion into retarded/stupidity.

Or, as I said:

Stix: Is it like "*yells at the emos at her school* Stop spreading your emotardity around us normal people"?
Stix: Or like...
Stix: "*pretends to be hardcore emo and bleed black blood* I suffer from emotardity*"

LOL, BLEED BLACK BLOOD! I'M SO HARDCORE! 666!

*coughs* anyway...

My feet are cold =]

Long time no see =P

Rah! I haven't blogged for AGES! *shakes head* Stupid Internet security blocks Blogger.com on my computer. Totally gay~

Sigh. I just finished work so I'm sitting around bloggin' and stuff till I can go home.

Double Sigh. I got my English and Japanese assignments back today. I'm disappointed. My New Years Revolution was to study and get lots of As. I got a B in English. And a C (!!!!) in Japanese. Sigh. I suck at Jap.

My teacher sucks though, so my suckage is only partly my fault.

I'm sort of angry at some of my friends (who shall remain nameless incase they read this). RaaaH! They make me so mad! I won't talk about it here. =P That would be mean.

Sigh. I need to study more. I did my Maths homework yesterday AND today though *proud*

I go home now.

Love Love

Quin.

Finally

Jeebus!

My computer at home is being uber gay and isn't letting Blogger work. So here I am at one of the crappy computers at work blogging about the past like 2 weeks or something.

Nothing has happened. =]

Well, I did go back to school. (Waaaah! Holidays) And on the second day back I got tonsilitis again (Yay! Mini vacation!). Dr Scary-sits-too-close-specialist-man says I have to have my tonsils out. Jeez, man! I coulda told you that!

Stupid head!

I'm so tired. I have 11 assignments to do~! Waah! And half of them are due next week! =P (Edit: I finished one~ =])

Well, I should go home now (Yay!)

Love Stix
