Rozzy is alive! Sorry guys, I've been away having fun... seven of my friends and I went to Cairns for a supremely non-rebellious version of Schoolies. We watched a whole lot of Scrubs, went snorkelling and scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef and are now all really broke. It was AWESOME! I'll update this post with some photomagraphs when my lazy friends bother to give me some (just joking,

So, consider me... graduated. Hasn't really sunk in yet. Had an awesome time though! At my school we have our graduation and formal on the same night, so we get all dolled up for a night of formalities and frivolity. Have some pictures: This is my lovely boyfriend and me (excuse the weird expression): I haven't mentioned him before, have I? Oh well, in this blog I shall refer to him as The

Ick. Is it just me, or has this week been particularly painful? It's all my own doing, of course. I endure this pain completely voluntarily. On Mondy (what am I, Irish? Lol) Monday my friend Kat and I gave blood together. I remember the first time we went, and I was really scared. I don't often walk into these unknown situations. But they were really nice to me, and it was (relatively) easy

Hey guys, sorry I've been offline for awhile. I've been a little busy, what with FINISHING YEAR 12 AND ALL. :) Sorry, I'm totally not over it yet. Anyway, so I had my last exam yesterday (Chemistry) and it went really well. Very exciting! And now I have lots of free time on my hands, which I will spend doing... lots of useful things, and lots of really pointless things as well, just because I

One down, two to go! How exciting. Just a quick update to say that I'm pretty sure I didn't fail my English exam - and I'm very excited that I'll never have to write another English essay again! The questions were pretty good, including one that fitted my text absolutely perfectly (yay!). Apparently Mr. English Teacher has been going around saying, "How banal, the questions were so banal."

Number of hours until my English exam: 32 Number of quotes I need to know for my English exam: 44 Number of times I have stopped studying to check my emails/blog/play minesweeper: Too many. I have a secret ... I'm not very good at studying. People assume I must be, because I get good marks, but I think it's more to do with the way I think, and my memory, than studying hard. I tend to get

An update on my end-of-schoolness: I've handed in my last piece of work EVER (my Composing and Arranging folio and major work). That just leaves three exams and my final Music Solo Performance moderation. I've had so many "last"s recently. My last test (matrices, five weeks ago), my last assignment for an examinable subject (a chemistry prac), my last day of classes (on which we actually did

Just a quick post to try out my new signature... I've seen similar signatures in a few blogs now and really liked them, so I thought I'd get one myself. Let me know if you like it! (And I finally fixed the background colour!!! Yay!) I also thought I'd mention that I've signed up to a couple of hit counter sites. This means that I know when you read my blog, even if you don't comment... but it

I have, in some ways, officially finished high school. Forever. Please excuse me while I freak out. Today was the last day of school, in which we took part in the usual Muck-Up Day Final Day activities - dressing up, putting on a concert, pulling pranks, and generally being outrageous (okay, I wasn't outrageous, but a lot of people were! By the way, just in case you are interested, I was Ms

Whoops, it's been awhile since I was here. I hope you all missed me! I've finally got my last assessments out of the way, and my trial exams, so the stress-induced freakout of my last post has abated. In order to pass the free time (heheh, what is the 'free time' you speak of?) and/or procrastinate from studying, I have seen not one, but three excellent films in the last couple of weeks: The

I have had the most stressful week in my entire life. Due to unfortunate timing, I was involved in three concerts (two of which required multiple rehearsals) and had two tests, plus a two-day dance workshop. The stress and exhaustion actually made me feel physically ill. It made me wonder if any of this was worth it. Year 12 is built up as the most important year of your life, but in about two

Rozzy needs to post something. Actually, Rozzy should be studying, but hey who cares. What should Rozzy write about? Procrastinating! In my opinion, procrastinating is healthy once in a while... probably not as often I do it, but oh well. Anyway, leaving things undone and just taking a break is something we all need to learn to do every so often, especially if we are COMPLETELY STRESSED OUT like

So I thought I should introduce myself properly... I'm a 17-year-old Year 12 student from Darwin, Australia. (For those of you who don't know, Darwin is up in the tropics, right under Indonesia. Right now it is really really humid and I wish it would rain already. Lembab sekali!) I enjoy music, Irish dancing, spending time with my gorgeous friends and crazy internet fads. I am a Christian, but I

Time for a shameless plug, methinks. If you don't know who StarKid are, you need to find out. They have not only created a masterpiece from a masterpiece, but they have also injected new enthusiasm into a waning fandom. What am I talking about? A Very Potter Musical, of course. Imagine this. It's the first weekend of the mid-year holidays. I've promised myself that I will have a well-earned

Okay, so I don't expect that I'll usually be posting every single day, but I couldn't let this day go by without writing something. Let's take a moment to consider the enormity of what happened on September 11 eight years ago. That day stands out clearly in my memory, even though I was only nine years old at the time. I remember emerging from my bedroom in the morning to find my dad watching

Today I’ve finally done it. I’ve taken that first step. I’ve created a blog. And okay, that might not sound like much to you, but I am a classic procrastinator – in fact, it could be argued that the only reason I’m even doing this is because I’m avoiding what really needs to be done, which is study. My Year 12 exams are approaching with alarming speed. But despite this, I am stepping back from
