Yesterday was my last ever official day of school, and my high school graduation was last night. I must admit, I am so relieved to be finished with school but I didn't feel the 'rush' that I was expecting to feel. I believe that this is because my Music Performance- Solo practical exam was on Sunday, the day before yesterday, and I had been preparing for that exam for 12 months. I think I wrote about it in my previous post. Anyway, while I believe that that exam won't be my hardest exam, it is the exam that I wanted to be most successful in, as I have been studying classical music for 11 years and want to make a career out of that. Subsequently that exam certainly had the most weight attached to it, and I certainly relaxed afterwards. My dad took my brother and myself out for lunch which was nice, and he bought me a book. =)
Yesterday we had a dress up day. There wasn't a theme, but fancy dress in general. I decided to dress up as Red Riding Hood, and on Saturday, as a much needed distraction from the ever present nerves building up to Sunday, I went to Spotlight and bought some cheap panne velvet in a beautiful dark red and sewed a cloak and hood (by hand). I don't know how to use a machine, and the one that we currently have is apparently not very good. It took about 5 hours in total, which was quite efficient as it was the first article of clothing I had made from scratch, and the website I was using as reference was in inches, which makes things more difficult.
Anyway, this post has taken far too long to publish, so I'm just going to wrap it up by saying I only have one more exam to go and that is next week! I am slowly getting through this!!!

Complaints
You know what sucks? Viruses.
And now, thanks to my lack of attention whilist using my laptop last night, there is a massive one sitting somewhere benethe the murky depths of my hard drive and doesn't want to move. It's really depressing because usually I am so careful about these sorts of things, and then there's just this 'once off' event and what the hell do you know... there's now a virus. So, thanks to the hacker who decided to create that to ruin my year twelve. I'm currently writing this in the middle of the school library and will probably get kicked off any time soon. (I am trying to do some school work as well, but considering that exam week is next week and the only mid- year exam I have is the GAT there's not a hell of a lot I can do. Not here in this noisey room at the least.)
And then just before we watched the particularly moving file Atonement in Literature. We're studying the book at the moment, so we got to watch the movie this morning. I've seen that movie before, but it is still pretty sad.
So yes, I'm not feeling brilliant by any means and I'm not sure what to do about it. (Note to self. Contact Dad asap to sort out virus...) which leaves me here, whining away on this pathetic desktop. I'd most definatly be on YouTube, but I didn't bring any head phones and the noise wouldn't go down too well.
Stress is something that really doesn't agree with me. Last night I hardly sleeped because my brain was just full of freaking out- type thoughts not of year 12 and it's joys but of that stupid virus. Somewhat backwards I must admit, but that is how it was. Subsequently now I am dead tired and feel ready to snap at anyone who looks at me sideways, have a raging headache and am hungry because I didn't eat breakfast and I haven't really made anything suitable for lunch. Oh yeah, working on calculus at eight in the morning really didn't help anything either.
So, as much as I'd love to say 'Enough with the complaining!' and move on to something positive and far more interesting, I really don't have anything to say. I cannot guarantee how often I'll be able to post in the coming weeks (considering my laptop is indisposed) but I'll try. I won't really be able to write here at school either because, well I just won't be here.
