Back to School...

So as the title of this particular update suggests, today was my first day back at school. The holidays ended well. The last week (I can't really be bothered to go into details) I went to the movies with friends - quite alot of them actually - and it was kind of weird. I think there were to many people and they all wanted to go and do their own thing. Then afterwards we went bowling. I didn't actually go and see the movie because I'd already seen it, and frankly, it was quite crap (Evan Almightly if anyones interested. I hated how he was a senator and they made all these crap jokes about it - "He's down on ways and means, but he's not way mean" I mean come on). So I just walked around the centre accompanied by one of my other friends who just didn't want to see the movie. I bought another book! I seriously have a problem. But it was only $7!!! Its called Tokyo by Mo Hayder. I sucked at bowling. I got around 70 the first game and only 80 the next. But oh well. It was kind of fun, but my friends have certainly been a but weird lately so that made it slightly... well uncomfortable I suppose.
The next day was awesome, yet painful. I went with Dad into the city with all intentions of going to the Sydney Motor Show, yet when we got there, at about 10am, we saw that the exhibition hall was covered with posters of "opens 5pm today!". Which really sucked, but we made the choice and walked around Sydney ALL day (extremly extremely painful in high heeled shoes when you never wear high heels - my feet took a couple of days to heal). But it was fun. We walked around government house which was pretty amazing, through Hyde Park, and we went to this awesome shop that I love in China Town called Morning Glory. It has all these cute little Japanese type things, stationary mostly (which I love, I am a stationary NUT - go officeworks!). So I bought some new pens and a really awesome notebook.
We also went to the Sydney Conservatorium of Music which looked really really awesome. I am now seriously considering going there and doing a Bachelor of Performance. It would basically just be a more glamorous version of what I previously wanted to do, which is join one of the military bands. So that was fun.
The actual motor show was amazing. So many cars and they were all presented so incredibly. It was really worth the wait, so I was happy with that. Then we caught the train back at like 9:30pm which was quite scary. Going through places that we stopped at really made me appreciate where I live even more. I really am so naïve about what people are really like, and how some suburbs of Australia are. Its pretty scary how they are.
Then over the last Friday-Saturday of the holidays two of my friends stayed over the night. It was fun. We basically just sat around and watched movies. Transformers - which was awesome, Next - which was extremely disappointing and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - which I absoloutely love.

So that was about it. Sunday I just lazed around savouring the last moments of freedom.
Hmm, so much for "I can't be bothered to go into details". Well anyway.
So today I went back to school, which I quite enjoyed, even though it was uncomfortably hot.
Its really annoying though, because everyone has such a negative attitude, so its really hard to stay positive but I just try to ignore them. I feel that my friends are slightly immature in that sense that they all still think the world is out to get them. Its a very downtrodden mood they all have, but there are a few exceptions, so I can work with that.
I got most of my exam results back. I was fairly happy with them.
English I wasn't really - I only got 48/70 which kind of sucks cause I do really like english and wanted to do well, but I just have to work harder next time. I think that was a pretty good mark in comparison to the rest. It was about 3rd, but because of the amount of people on the same marks above me I am on about 6th.
Music I was like estactic with. I got 27.5/35 which for my first real music exam I was really pleased about. I was over the moon with my performance mark, which was first, at 18/20.
German, was allright, there I got 38/45, so that was pretty good. Listening component I got 31.5/35 so happy there. Then speaking I got 18/20.
Modern I was really surprised with. I came second on 93% with 74/80. I am actually thinking of dropping that subject though, so I was kind of annoyed that I did so well. But my teacher made a good suggestion which I think I will do, which is to drop modern and pick up Extension History, which is only one unit dropping me down to 13, which should work well. So I think I will do that.
I got my Ancient History paper back, confirming my 98% Hell yes!!! i was so happy. I got 49/50. But I was so annoyed, out of the whole paper we had 3 essays in which I didn't loose a mark then in the source based questions I lost my point in a question worth one mark that was "What type is this source, primary or secondary?" It was so a secondary source dammit!!!
But hey, I'm certainly not complaining about my mark there.
So all in all, it was a good day, and I'm happy about my results. I'm really only disappointed with my english mark, but I can work on that.
I really am going to try my hardest this year. I want to achieve every mark that I have the potential to get. And hopefully I will feel content with what I have done by the end of my HSC next year.
After that, who knows where life will take me...
