my oh my a lot has happened since i last blogged.
after getting my head shaved it's been REALLY COLD! and at first i kept thinking my hair was tied back, like when i went into the shower i kept feeling really weird because who goes in the shower with their hair tied up? and then i was soooo in tuned with my spidey sense, i could sense the cold, the breezes, the water. the water! when i showered i could feel the water drip down my scalp it was sooo super weird! and when i exercise theres no hair to trap the sweat so theres soooooo much dripping going on!
also i went to the doctor once because my left breast was stinging and hurt when i touched it with a bit of pressure. then she felt this lump in my right one and i had to get an ultrasound but ITS ALL GOOD chloe is fine =] i just have really dense glandular tissue there which is supposedly common in young teenage girls such as myself and that late turns into fat or something but yes.
now let's recap the exams!
tuesday was 4u.
i woke up at like 5am that morning and couldnt sleep at all then after getting out of bed and eating breakfast, i was changing into my school uniform then i suddenly felt like vomiting. i ran down to the bathroom and stood over the basin and kept gagging but nothing was coming out. later that day it was alright.
but yes, back to 4u it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be! i mean it WAS 4u so it was still hard, but i attempted the majority of questions so i'm quite pleased with myself. and i felt so sorry for the 2u people, i think it was so slack to them to have to continue the exam when all the 4u people are putting together their sheets and with ribbans talking to us =/ should have scheduled it another time.
wednesday was chem.
i again woke up at 4am but then went back to sleep after 5am but was still annoyingly tired. i can't really remember what the test was like but i did answer everything. i know i got a few questions wrong but oh well i think it was quite good. i never aim for top so yeh, watever.
thursday was ancient.
oh dear ancient. i spent a lot of the time leading up to the exam weeks just doing 4u, then chem phys and 3u were equally net in priority, so ancient was pretty much lowest priority (apart from english). although it wasn't too bad because they gave us a sheet for us to write notes for our essay, EXCEPT it was an essay based on our research and the one thing ive learnt in high school is that you can never successfully complete a research task for history. and i just wrote everything on my sheet so i dont even know how my essay answered the question. the other sections on mycenae were alright, they even told us which sections were being tested on so it was really not that bad.
ALTHOUGH i did come to the conclusion that i want to drop ancient. im like 99% there. the 1% is if like i failed at chem or phys, OR if i got like 100% for ancient which is very unlikely (the latter i mean). i really don't know how well i did for chem or phys but i rationalised:
-Ancient takes A LOT of time and mental energy.
-without ancient i'd have 6 more study periods to lay down maths, chem or phys and get better at those subjects.
-at home, writing ancient notes takes so long and this is while i still have tammy's notes to base my notes off
-the last few weeks i have been sleeping a lot in ancient
-even if i do badly at chem or phys, i don't really need a high high ATAR, since commerce is 94 or 96 or so i SHOULD be able to get that
-ancient is so interesting but SO stressful
anyway. friday was physics.
i thought i was quite prepared for this. the calculations seemed easy. i answered all the questions. then i realised there were quite a lot of troll questions. but oh well. i can't have done that bad.
sunday was a bad day. i woke up with my period and had such bad cramps. then i also vomitted a bit. my mum gave me panadol which she late regretted because i just woke up and didnt have any breakfast. then i vomitted that up later too. although the traditional chinese doctor thinks i have the flu or am starting to get the flu which explains my feeling of wanting to vomit on tuesday and she gave me some medicine and i've gotten much better. it was just plain annoying.
monday was 3u.
despite my lack of preparation and the terrible past papers, i think this was good. i answered everything which is unusual although i know for certain some weren't answered right, but oh well.
also was my mum's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her even though i told her in person. had the korean bbq for dinner =]
today was english and the last exam!
i wrote so much and i don't even know why. i wrote like 5 and a bit pages even though my writing was appalling. i just had no idea what the question was saying so i just wrote as much as i could in the hopes of answering the question! i really hope i did alright in that otherwise its like 5 pages for nothing.
but alas, half yearlies are over!!
so we went to celebrate! by watching THE HUNGER GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!
it was quite good. very intense and emotional.
THE PLOTLINE: set in some distant future where north america is long gone after an apocalypse and now replaced by panem, where they have a wealthy capitol and 12 districts surrounding it. ages ago, the districts rebelled against the capitol and the 13th district was wiped out. now, as punishment, 2 representatives (tributes) comprising of one male and one female between 12 and 18 years old to participate in a televised show where the tributes fight to the death.
THE MOVIE: i think it was done quite well although i didn't read the books. it was very very emotional. when katniss volunteers to replace her sister as tribute (this is not a spoiler) i was crying so much, it was terrible. i didn't dislike anything about it, i was constantly going through fear, apprehension and deep sorrow, bawling my eyes out at various scenes (you will know which ones i am talking about if you watch it). I later wikipedia plotted it and found out so much they didnt get through, which is quite normal for a movie, but yeh, no background stories on the other tributes or anything. i was comparing this with battle royale as the hunger games got so much criticism on it being a rip off of battle royale, and i just didn't like it because battle royale focused on how other contestants died and their background stories and everything so you felt for everyone that was dying instead of just rooting for the main character. but oh well. it was good acting too.
VERDICT: go watch it!
and nowwwww, holiday to do list (not in order or priority)!
-game of thrones
-study: the rest of 3u, the next 4u topics, chem, phys, creative [yes, planning on leaving out study for ancient]
-draw!
-cook!<
-sleep!
Also, so far i've raised $3107.15 for the Leukemia Foundation, although one person needs to give me money lol.
TLDR:
my new favourite song, its in the credits of the hunger games (this was something that fueled my desire to watch it):
