This is one from the pro lol hence the good quality. It was the prefect photo which they called for randomly from the dance floor but some people didn't hear. Like Tamsin...and so they're not in it :(
Shelley and I, we were going for Christmas Tree seeing as I was red and she was green, but her colour was a bit too pale to match the intensity of mine lol. But if you lean back, tilt your head to the right and squint you might see the Christmas-ness of it. (...If you really did that...I don't even have words to say...haha!)
Yay, me and Joanna, who had fantastic hair I will say :) And people, please excuse my pregnant look in these photos...I don't know what happened, but it's not true, pictures lie.
And this is a picture at the place, just before we went in to where the tables are. Tracey, ever the poser and Jennifer with her dress she got WAY in advance. Georgia in purple, and Olivia on the far left.
The music was much better than last year and the decorations were lovely. A job well done to Rose and the Events Committee.
The following Tuesday was our mock English exam. It didn't go well in terms of time or questions for me. Film was fine, it was Lear which had me wringing my hands in frustration. And therefore, it was my NA. For Citizen Kane (film) I got M. A rather tragic exam but I can't change that right now. Hopefully I'll be able to do better next term when we have prelims in week 7.
On Thursday I also had a economics test which was BAD....bad bad bad...I ran out of time and felt like I was writing the same thing over and over again...so I don't even know if I answered the questions. *sigh* so frustrating.
Friday (22nd June) was the Chamber Competition. It was a really fun evening, we all met at music after school. My group had white tops, black skirts (or pants in Ella's case) and wait for it....MATCHING RED HEAD BANDS!! Hahaha I personally think it was a brilliant idea. I got a bit stressed out when I couldn't find them but Tracey saved us by getting us some from Sylvia Park. So we were very in sync. Our performance was a million times better than last year and I didn't mess up that part in the first movement that I ALWAYS mess up. I was very relieved. I'm told it was really long, and when I watch it now, it is lol. I was satisfied with our performance. Since then it has felt rather weird...Not having practice every spare moment of the day and having afterschool free...seems rather odd to be walking to my parents work haha.
Orange week was relatively successful. Mufti day on Tuesday proved that my system of collection works better than leaving it to the form reps. (They can't be trusted...) And we made $810 which is much better than the $300-something from last year. There turned out to be a surprising level of donations in the form of blankets and canned food as well. It was surprising but pleasantly so.
We won our badminton game by default as well, we went anyway, forcing Izabella to come but only getting told when we were there that our team (Baradene) wasn't coming. So I helped Izabella with her eco hwk and ate kumura chips. haha. productive.
Last Friday Yi Lein and I went to Variety in Greenlane to start our volunteer work. We put together invitations for a dinner of some kind. There were a couple of well known names on the list and the hour went by rather quickly. It was much better suited to us.
This week, the first week of term break, I have done pretty much nothing. Tomorrow I have a World Vision meeting which I doubt will prove fruitful. Eco internal due week two of next term...Right.
Well yes I hope everyone is having a pleasant holiday.
