Hi, how's everyone going? As I'm sure you're aware this is my very first post (if the title didn't give it away I'm sure the fact that it's the only post so far is more than enough to make you aware of this).
This weeks been pretty good, I just got back from a holiday overseas with family which as always is both relaxing and incredibly hectic. New Zealand was lovely, and I'll be sure to post some of the photographs I took there soon.
I'm currently on school holidays so there's nothing on the assessment front currently. I got my ATAR estimates as well and I'm honestly so pleased, as long as I'm consistent with what I've been doing I'm on track to get into any of the Uni courses I'm interested in. I'm picking up double maths next year which means that I'm looking into doing some basic maths revision over these summer holidays. My year 7-8 maths teacher was a lovely person but she wasn't the best teacher and my basic algebra skills have definitely suffered! Anyone recommend any particular websites or textbooks to get me started? I've been currently starting (but honestly just procrastinating) on some of the websites listed here.
Choir's been pretty hectic. Out of 7 days I've had (or will have) three rehearsals and three separate performances. It's something I love though so it's no real hardship. Last night at the outdoor performance I got bitten by mosquitoes three separate times on the one hand ! I think that's just excessive really. I've got another performance this evening which I'm a little bit nervous about, it's in quite a public place where I might see people I know. Oh well, time to work on some self confidence!
I think I'm going to cut down on makeup spending next year. I just finished inventorying my collection yesterday in an Excel spreadsheet and it's a tad sobering. There are other things that I want to save up for next year (a new car being the very first thing on that list, as soon as I do road ready that is) and it's a tad sad looking at how many things I wouldn't actually repurchase out of it all. Good news though, I'm working on reviewing every single item in my collection so as to give you all more information on what to spend your hard earned money on!
A book I requested at the library is now available so I'm really excited to collect it and start reading it. It's On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta and I'll be sure to review it later on for you guys. I've also started watching Suits and I'm honestly so excited. I love the relationship between Harvey and Mike (though I'm a tad disappointed that four episodes in it's yet to pass the Bechdel test).
I need to go school supply shopping soon as well which is always exciting. My plan for next year is to get super organised as I'll have much less time now I'm doing six fairly academic heavy subjects. On the other hand, I also want to make sure I'm not overbuying and wasting my money so I'll probably list out everything I need and search through the house first just in case.
That's about all I can think of for this week. Lovely to meet you all and stay tuned for some more updates!
