It's friday again and almost the holidays! i am going to spend the holidays getting ready for graduation and preparing to welcome our kitten who will be coming home soon. The kittens name will be Harper she's a Ragdoll cat so she will be cute and furry.

This is a Ragdoll [ not Harper]

I can't wait for her to come home! i'm going to set up all the stuff she needs and i've already bought all these cool toys for her to play with! I'm going to let her sleep on my bed and she can lie in the sun and sunbathe!

I am going to get a haircut so that i look nice for graduation and i'm going to buy some new books on my kindle!

Out Of My Mind

Its friday again! yay! my weeks being ok considering its school it hasn't sucked much. I borrowed some new books from the library and my favorite is Out Of My Mind by Sharon Draper.  It's really good its about a girl with Cerebal Palsy named Melody.


The blurb is: Eleven year old Melody has a photographic memory. Her head is like a video camera that is always recording. Always. And there's no delete button. She's the smartest kid in her school- but NO ONE knows it. 

Most people- her teachers and doctors included- don't think she's capable of learning, and up until recently her school days consisted of listening to the same preschool -level alphabet lessons again and again and again.  If only she could speak up, if only she could tell people what she thinks and knows. But she can't. She can't talk. She can't walk. She can't write.

Being stuck inside her head is making Melody go out of her mind - that is, until she discovers something that will allow her to speak for the first time ever. At last Melody has a voice... But not everyone around her is ready to hear it.

A timeline of High school

You guys are probably getting sick of posts about school but with two weeks left of year Twelve I can't help being a little nostalgic. So I've decided to do a little timeline about what i was like in every year of high school. If I lived somewhere else high school would have started in year 7 but where i live it starts in year 8 until the end of this year when year 7 will become the start of high school.

Year 8- My first year of high school and the year when i, like many year 8s, thought I was top dog and that i ruled the school. Which as a year 12 i know was not true in any way. This was the year i did some really stupid things including sliding under the school fence and going to caltex and then coming back with a bag full of lollies.

Year 9- this was the year i realized year 8s are really annoying and so are assignments. I spent a lot of time trading the lollies i got from caltex for 'blood capsules' which were these little pills that you chewed up with water in your mouth to make it look like there was blood coming out of your mouth.

Year 10- i got smarter and also no longer was small enough to slide under the fence so caltex lost its appeal. Discovered black market within the school of gum selling and would meet sellers at lunch in secluded areas of the playground in order to buy chewing gum. Boys in my year discovered loose man hole lid and discovered they could fit in it. Thus they spent a lot of time exploring the schools drainage and likely caused some damage to it.

Year 11- Man hole lid was welded shut so boys had to move on to playing footy with balls of sticky tape that were really annoying but didn't hurt if they hit you. Discovered year 11 drama is way bad and that our school could have had its own soap opera about all the drama. Also learned it was a bad idea to tell boys that you want to be a leading seaman at cadets due to the dirtiness of teenage boy brains.

Year 12- moved schools, read a lot of books, ate a lot of noodles.
