S for Settling

Now Playing - Train - Hey Soul Sister

I completely forgot about this blog for an extended amount of time I realise.

But now is a good time, although it may not be the most appropriate with folio due in less than a fortnight.

Having braved out 2009 as a year 12 immersed in study, art and dance, I`m surprised how much I've changed within a year. I was so unsure for the majority of the first half of the year about what I wanted to pursue in terms of higher education; yet with my subject selection (literature, art, calculus, applicable, physics and chemistry) it seems that architecture was a perfect match. I guess it clicked during exams after I realised how much I enjoyed art history that everything made sense. But then again, context was different, being surrounded by study art seemed like an escape from everything.

The reason I mention this is although now I am here studying architecture at UWA, I`m not so sure again. I love it, gaining an appreciation of design and the way something physical can affect the mental state of a person, but my progress in studio seems to indicate otherwise.

I admit, my discipline has definately declined. From being studious and having the pressure of TEE weighing down on me, the pace of university life has changed my priorities alot. I find that its "good", i`m experiencing a "social renaissance" for me, reconnecting with old friends and making many new ones. It's been an emotional roller coaster but I don't think I could ever regret it. I really appreciate how close I am to everyone in my course, especially our "family". And there is Alice, La'belle and Jackie who have been so importantly there for me when I've been in times of stress and pressure. I'm so grateful for their honesty and sympathy when I've been too biased to consider all perspectives. I realise there are names I`ve left off, but it doesn't mean I don't love them too <3 However there have been consequences; I've become much more distant towards my own family seeing as I've spending alot of time away from home. I spend alot more time at uni, work and just chilling with friends. I appreciate how much freedom I have now with my life, but there are still time management issues which I will probably never fully resolve. As well as that, I feel like my commitment to dance has also waned in that I've become tardy to classes and my enthusiasm is usually dogged by the constant sleep deprivation caused by late nights doing work, facebooking and general time wasting (spider solitaire ftw!).

Let's just take it slow for now and see where everything takes me?

H for HAPPY NYE!

Now Playing - Da Now Yi Chang - Da Mouth

So it`s finally come; the inevitable BYEBYE2008.

And what did it have to offer? I know these WHAT DID 2008 OFFER US lists aand constant revisions are cliche, but... I spose this year has been so important.

This year I realised that I actually had to work hard to get good grades
This year I stayed out past 10pm without my parents MORE THAN ONCE [ooh rebel?]
This year I managed to kill my credit within a week for the first time.
This year I had a d&m with my mum!!
This year I realised to the extent how LAZY I am.
This year I made the best memories with the best people EVER.
This year was completely different to last year; my "dark" year. Damn, 2007 was a lost year.
This year I laughed the most.

This year was possibly the best year of my life.

I learnt that I can let go and not care, because in the end everything is going to be okay.

Thanks for keeping me sane. Even if I seemed insane.

GAH, i`m relly just running it off my head now, so I better head off now.

For the last post of this year! Hope that in 2009 I`ll be able to hurdle over the inevitable TEE and stay alive until holidays.

M for Mortality

Now Playing - I`ll Be Over You - Kyla

This girl is amazing, I love her stuff!

Now to the title of this post, it`s not supposed to be morbid or anything, but just a reminder.

I rememebr in year 8 we were looking soem artwork with a skull in it, As soon as it was announced that it was a skull, me and my friend starting devising elaborate and frankly, quite ridiculouc murder plots and master plans about the intentions of the artist.

Sadly when the true intentions were revealed, it was as simple as a reminder that we are only human and that death is inevitable.

Now, the disappointment sinks in.

This is like my blog. You THINK something's goingto happen, some elaborate master plan or over dramatise my life, but really it`s nothing.

Lately I`ve been sick. Now before you think it`s some serious near death experience; it`s not. It was just some fever, but I think I`ve just ppointed that out in an earlier post.

Luckily, I`ve had the chance to go out to dance which has helped me out.

It`s funny, when I stepped out of the house after about 2 weeks of being locked in, it felt great. Like I was some country girl walkinginto the big city. EVERYTHING was beautiful, haha, the sky, grass, wind, pollution in the air. Damn, sickness does something to you, and I`m not sure it`s been good...

Actually screw it I`m really tired. I`ve got KULCHA Human Rights Day dance performance tomorrow/today, so wish me luck!

C for Canine Coughing

Now Playing - 매력쟁이 feat. MC Mong - Lyn

Wow, this is SUCH a catchy song. And becasue I`m in THAT kind of mood, I`m going to attempt to romanise the title, and probably epicly fail in the process. Mae-ryeon-jaeng-ee?? Oh well, hopefully i`ll get better with time! Just like that Leona Lewis song?

Gosh, stop wiht the musical references!!

Anyway, the title of this post does not suggest that my pet is sick, no, becaue my mum is scared of dogs thus we currently do not own one. It is however a reference to someone, that being *drum roll* ME!

For the past week since about Monday last week Ive been confined to my house, more specifically the couch to recover. In this period I`ve completed these tasks;
sleep
shower
brush teeth
eat porridge/drink soup
watch tv
drink cough medicine
gag at the medicine
coughing fit
fever for a while.

Gosh, I didn`t even bloody brush my hair for a week! Now I am the living embodiment of whatever povo zombie child I was dressed up as for Hallooween!!!!!

Now, this week as been of hellish proportion, especially since I had school and everything. On a brighter note I`M GOING TO CANBERRA BABY! for some art scholarship!!! In your face Pope Campbell Art Prize giverer for not giving the art prize to me! Oh well, I`ve gotta be happy with an Academic Achievement! Especially when it comes with $50 *book voucher -__-"* Anyway, Presentation night was a drag seeing as I was already half dead and Caitlin singing next today was entertaining at first but my mood was so annoyed that nopt even a Russell Peter's joke could lift it *shockhorror* Things got worse that night Monday so being a great Art captain, I skipped my last ever Aquatics day! Wednesday though was gahh. It was the last half day of school but I was a wreck. Came to school in the morning after mum insisted I take one of her'charcoal pills' which being not weel I thought I misheard. Imagien my horror when she gave be just that, a characoal pill, a black pill which as an art student am used to getting all over myself having to swallow it. Within half an hour however, I managed to throw up 3 times but decided school was too important to miss today 'cue the awwwwws, but MYOLA BABY!'

Getting to school I shivered my way through it, but had to go to Sister in the end and stupidly overslept 10 minutes to an hour, therefore missing my ball meeting! GAYGAYGAY nurses who are too busy talking to wake me up! And on top of that the NERVE of the hub lady to give me a kdodgy MYOLA!!! GOSH I`M ON THE BLOODY COMMIITTEE!! I`m seeign thge Myola teachers as soon as I get to school next year ><' Gee...anyway, had to miss and give up my superspecialandexclusive Twilight preview tickets and so for the rest of thtat week, I spent on the couch coughing and fevering.

And to make matters worse I was really craving fruit, hich I was denide because it was "cold" and it`s nto good for my coughing. And my limited food options, that is porridge and soup guaranteeed an unhappy Cassii too. Like this week beginning mum went out and bought a whole lot of mongoes WHICH I CAN`T EVEN TOUCH TT__TT

As a concolation and an extremely vicious rebellion, I went and ate ice cream in secret rebellion! =) Man, caramel never tasted so good!

Anyway, I better go and see if I`m allowed to make a tuna sandwich that I`m craving.

CHOW!
