Checkout chick

Started work at woolies today. How momentous. Despite the fact that it was an exhausting ten hour shift, I really enjoyed it! And hooray for penalty rates on a public holiday. Haha it was meant to be a quiet first shift for me, being a Monday, but apparently Coles was evacuated because their sprinklers went off (not sure if there was an actual fire) and all their customers came to us. So it was rather busy at times.

Please God, as someone about to commence studies in the law, I ask that if I become a solicitor and/or barrister, you don’t ever let me stoop so low as to prosecute on cases like these.

Got XP?

Does anyone have a copy of Windows XP on CD that I could use to install it? One that wouldn’t expire after a certain time. Yes, I know, it’s naughty, but I’ll need to reinstall it when I change my hard drives around and getting it for free is an attractive option.

Or if you think I should buy my own copy, where is it cheapest and how much?

This is sort of a continuation from this post:

I just googled searched “snog” on images to check if this is still the case, and not only was that picture still the first result, but the second one was also of the Doctor getting snogged, this time by Rose’s mother. (Army of Ghosts, kiss rape.) How ridiculous is that getting! Then I searched it again to double check and that picture didn’t come up again which was strange.

Hey there…

Hey TBA members, I was just wondering…

…Who is Tom?

Hi Tom! I’m not meaning to sound all bitchy and “who the heck is that”, I’m just curious because your blog was mysteriously added and I thought I’d get some answers quicker by posting.

Really over school right now

I cannot wait until next year. As my mother says, a change is as good as a rest. Actually, I just can’t wait until the summer holidays. That’s when I get a nice change! My intention for the holidays are to start working as soon as I finish my exams. I’ll still be doing stuff for In The Light (student publication which Hannah, Jack and I are working on) but I want to start working as soon as possible. Hopefully if I get a summer job, I’ll be taken on during Uni semesters as well. I have to start paying rent to Mum at the end of this year and there’s no way I can afford that on youth allowance, on top of gym and internet fees, plus the loans I have to pay back to my mother and brother for the Kakadu trip.

So since a change is as good as a rest, the theory is that I’ll find a summer of working before starting at Uni a sufficient holiday. At least I’ll have some extra cash on hand and some growing savings.

I’m not sure why I’m so over school. I think it’s all the small assignments. I never have any time to just sit down and revise because I’m always doing stupid assignments. Now, a few big assignments over a long period of time, I could probably organise that. Can’t wait until Uni!!! I considered taking a year off but since I’m doing a five year degree, I honestly can’t be bothered spending a year being a waitress. I don’t want to be a student forever when all my friends are finished and in the workplace.

Week and a half into term 2

The school trip was fantastic. The best time I’ve had during my school holidays in a long time. It was great to be able to spend so much time with some of my friends, under all sorts of circumstances, and prove that we could cope with being with each other.

I got a lot more fond of the Northern Territory than I expected. Also, I feel like I know a bit more about Aboriginal culture, and I’m interested in learning a lot more. Since we’ve gotten back there’s been a lot in the media about the government’s plans to stop child sex abuse in the NT, so we’ve been discussing that in legal studies. It feels really weird to talk about it because I feel like my classmates have this opinion of the NT, that it’s full of drunks or “bogans” or something, and screwed up compared to here. Now, I’m not saying that I know the place really well. Obviously I don’t since we were just passing through towns. But at least I’ve been there, and am not just basing my opinions on some recent news reports. Of course child sex abuse is wrong and should be stopped but I think some of my classmates currently have nothing in their heads regarding the NT apart from what they’ve heard in the news recently.

I liked the locals I met. But the point is, I feel uncomfortable when everyone talks about the news we’ve heard. Maybe none of this made sense! Oh well. It’s good to get some thoguths out.

EDIT: Argh I wrote an entire edit and then lost it. Damn! Basically I was saying that I’m back at school and doing my best not to get hideously behind. I’m going to make a colour coded study schedule, taking into account the rehearsals I have to go to for the musical, time to go to the gym, and time to practise singing. (I dropped flute lessons. Way too much to worry about. I’ve also dropped IB French.)

Lol

If you search for “snog” on google images with Moderate SafeSearch on the first picture to come up is from Doctor Who when the Doctor kisses Madame de Pompadour.

Time for some warm weather in the NT

Can’t wait until Sunday. Why? SCHOOL TRIP to the Northern Territory! I won’t bore you with the details as Jack has already described the trip very concisely in a recent post. I thought I ought to mark the event in my own blog to show that I haven’t completely forgotten I have one. One of the best things about the trip is that I’m turning 18 on the day we arrive in Darwin.

I still have a lot of shopping to do before the weekend. I don’t have everything on the packing list. Who owns four pairs of shorts? I don’t even own four t-shirts.

good shindig

Just got back from a party at Georgia’s. It was good because I haven’t seen a lot of that crowd (the “smut” crowd) since before Christmas, although I had to tolerate a lot of “falls was so awesome” stories. That’s okay though. They’re a good bunch.

Georgia had the party because her parents are away and since her they’d specifically told her NOT to have any parties she kept the numbers down to reduce chance of party evidence being left. Unfortunately, despite this effort, there was some damage to property. A broken pot plant for example… not to mention a broken pipe main which resulted in all water to the house being cut off, as well as the water to neighbouring houses. Something tells me her parents are going to figure this one out.

I need sleeeeeeep. But I can’t be bothered standing up.
