holiday 'fun'

Oh the excitement to be had in the holidays
Well... the holidays have been... yeh rather boring but... I’ve been trying to use them to rest up. Coz next term is gunna kill me, especially the first week when we get the results from our exams as well as the grades for the semester. If my semester grades aren’t good then Dads gunna murder me, and I think a teacher, maybe a couple are gunna kill me first day back if I didn’t do well on my midyears.
*sigh*
Anyways... besides that, lol, I’ve actually been trying to forget about school for the last couple of weeks to save myself from the stress of worrying over the exams. With mixed results, it hasn’t been that hard to forget about school since I’ve had no contact with anyone from school, but the occasional random thought about exams, or umat which is even more worrying, has been harder to ignore.
Can you believe that two weeks before the umat test, they send me an email, in the middle of the school holidays mind you, asking me to send in a letter from the school, on the school letterhead etc. to prove that I still attend school in year 12. Which isn’t an unreasonable request but to receive it in the middle of the holidays, and they want the reply by wed the 22nd which is in the first week of school btw
Gah!! Anyways... other than that random grrness... what was I talking about?
Ah right, forgetting school, yes... relatively easy. Too easy perhaps, coz I sorta have homework to do. A whole chapter of maths, I still have to finish the supporting materials for English (yeh I’m slow and lazy, I know), and that chem. thing, and that classics thing. Some of which I’ve done btw, I haven’t completely turned sloth for the holidays, hence the ‘mixed results’ in forgetting. meh left to the last minute once again, I’m hardly surprised.
*extra long sigh*
I went out today (Thursday 16th July), with Mum and Sue, to colonnades. They were looking for... I dunno stuff, and I wanted to look at dresses for formal. So I went off and did my stuff and they went and did theirs. I started at the big w end and walked all the way to the other end, looking in random clothes shops as they caught my attention. But I didn’t really find anything that interested me a great deal. I did find one dress that was very nice, it was made of cheesecloth material, floor length, light blue, it was nice, but not quite what I was looking for, so I didn’t bother to even take note of which of the many shops it was in. It wasn’t till I was at the opposite end of the centre that I finally found a decent shop, across from jb called ‘rose’ something, can’t quite recall that name but I know where it is so that’ll do. There were some great dresses in there, very much within what I’d accept, none the perfect image to what I’ve got in my mind, but a few close enough that I’d be happy with them.
See... at first I wanted a purple, a real deep purple, ankle to floor length, dress. But then I found out the decorations are gunna be purple and blue, I don’t particularly want to blend in with the background for this so I changed my mind and I’ve now decided I want a deep, blood red, sorta like scarlet, or garnet. And I haven’t managed to find any ankle to floor length dresses, id probably have to go to Marion or the city to look for them. But I’d be fairly happy if it was at least calf length, I wouldn’t want it to be any shorter, not at any time really but especially not for a formal event. And there were some fairly nice dresses that basically fit that description there, none of them were really the deep yet vivid red I want but they’d do. I tried on one particular dress, it was very nice, red, obviously, and it had wide shoulder straps, a ‘v’ neck, fake wraparound skirt that was joined on the side. I liked it a lot, but I managed to talk myself out of it coz ... well I’m not sure it’s exactly what I’ll want for formal in a few months time. I need to look around a bit more, as well as hear what the other girls have planned, not that it’ll influence me that much but I’d rather not look like a complete retard on that particular night. The dress was very nice, but it was more of a sophisticated ‘going out’ dress rather than an evening gown, which is what I sorta have pictured for my dress.
Well... I’ll find the right dress eventually; after all, it was only the first time I’ve properly looked for it.

Bah hah hah I’ve managed to successfully distract myself from thoughts of school in a couple of days. How amusing (not school, me distracting myself from it :P )
lols
anyways...
Enough from me for now :P
