I feel sad. No this doesn't involve school. BUT FIRST LET ME TALK ABOUT TODAY
I feel the need to discuss/ blog about today to celebrate the end of term 3! Term 3 that is for year 12. But it only means study in the holidays. Honestly, 2 weeks is not enough. Not even close.
I have to study for every single subject, besides Art. That thing can wait on the day, it's always on the last day.. NOT TO MENTION. NOVEMBER 8TH- LAST DAY OF HSC AND MY LAST EXAM -____- I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I DON'T GET FREEDOM UNTIL NOVEMBER THE 8TH. BITCH.
Then I need to do that Hatshepsut profile for Ancient. I'm really scared, we're not finished with Sparta and it's almost trials... then HSC. Do we even have enough time to go through the major topics in depth?
Then I have days off to do Drama group practice. A LOT needs to be done. This means a lot to me, I really want a band 6 for drama. I really really do. Also for Ancient and Maths.
I have Mondays off to work for uncle and I need days to look for formal dress. It's pretty hard to look for one in the stores, I've been to livo and parra and so far I've found one in Parra but apparently it's too plain, according to my sister. The dress is short (I'm wearing short btw) and it drops down.. so it's flowy and my sister doesn't like the fact that it's flowy. She wants me to get a dress that's tight around my waist then drops down. She's like 'You have a nice body, WHY DON'T YOU SHOW IT' lol chill. I'm not that boastful about my body. I just like how it'll look on me. But there's still the city to look at.
I think that's about it. Oh crap wait. There's Art. I need to finish my drawings and prepare my VA diary. Damn. OH CRAP. Logbook for drama group performance too.
2nd week back I have soo many things going on. Work, drama practice, English lecture and come into school to do work.
2 weeks of holidays are definitely not wasted but not enough!!!!!

So about today, I had my english test based on Module B- A Doll's House, which is a critical study. I love A Doll's House. Not to be boastful or anything but I really really enjoy it and I remember so many things, everything is absorbed right into my brain. I think it's because it's a play and it's Drama so I would read the play as if I'm performing it which makes it soo fun and thrilling!!
Our test this morning provided a quote WHICH I STUDIED. I studied that quote in my notes along with the other sentences within the paragraph.
'Ibsen's Nora is a perfect vehicle for an exploration of self-determination, as she embodies the repression of women, as well as the suffocating bourgeois lifestyle.' after that was '... The confines of the bourgeois domestic lifestyle are both evident in the title of the play, as well as the stage setting. The superficial and materialistic nature of the bourgeois life are evident in the opening of the play, as stage setting describes a 'comfortable and stylish' apartment with 'engraved carvings on the wall.. a small cabinet filled with china.. a bookcase of expensively bound books' .... Yeah I remembered the entire thing and I was going to incorporate it into my essay but no! The quote was used and if I wrote that entire paragraph, they'd know it was plagiarism looool
I wrote 6 and a half pages which I'm proud of, though it's the content that counts. My structure was everywhere. Kept going back to scenes I initially used in the beginning of the essay or using the same scene LOL But I hope I justified my points and pray to lord it was clear. Because normally my 'take home essays' need clarity and my in class essays are ..fairly well done. I love in class essays, I regurgitate my ideas quickly and storm into writing. After the test, I felt soooooo relieved.

Okay back to why I am sad.  I don't want to be the reason for someones sadness.

Have a safe holiday and study hard my fellow year 12's. It's game on.
