A Little Bit of Awesome Goes a Long Way

Hey! 

Want to know how "bubbly" and "lively" I am? Well, here it is.

Erin and I were sort of late to afternoon registration. We were about 2 minutes late. So we walked in and Beth told us to tell our form supervisor we were here so he would mark us present. Then I went and did something "hilarious" (according to my entire class). I went up to my teacher and spread my arms out and went: Hi Sir! Like seriously a bit too cheerful for a Thursday afternoon. The entire class burst into laughter and I was sent out by my teacher.

The best bit is yet to come. 

So I was standing outside having no idea what he is going to say to me and the entire class laughing. I have to admit, it's not the proudest moment of my life. About a minute later, my form supervisor came out and wait-for-it... he said: Hi Ka-Ching! and gave me the jazz hands. Well, sort of just putting his hands up. His expression was so defeated. Defeated is the only word you can really use in that situation. It was seriously funny, especially after just about every person in the class asked me what happened and I told them and they laughed really hard. It was hilarious because my form supervisor usually appears really strict but is actually secretly awesome. Like ninja awesome with the ninja bit. He has an interesting sense of humour. Apparently the randomness and hilariousness of that made people's day. 

Anyway the important thing is, that's exactly how you become the class clown. I guarantee it will work, because I am pretty sure I am labelled that now. I am still being laughed at. I am not even going to go into my previous incident with the door. That was sheer embarrassment.  

Here's Erin and I's daily dose of randomness! 

Erin: I need one of those coffee shots.
Me: I smell carrots. 

-thumbs up to us for being weird as hell-

My conclusion of the "incident" and lesson of the day: A little bit of awesome/laughter goes a long way.

Talking Nonsense When I Should Be Revising

Hey! 

I am just watching videos on Youtube and reading when really I should be revising. But revising is no fun. 

Anyway, I just want to talk about something really weird that happened today. It's been snowing and hailing on and off all day. Seriously, it's mid-March and snowing. -insert scientific reasoning- But it's insane! Apart from that, I received a letter from my GP's medical centre wishing me a Happy Birthday (my birthday is two weeks away). No, it doesn't stop there. It gets weirder. They also attached two A4 posters on "Improving your self esteem". I mean: really... WHAT?! -weirdly shocked face- I really don't see what turning 16 has to do with your self esteem of anything. Apparently according to my mum, it's cute. I mean, it is quite funny. BUT WEIRD! 

Oh oh OH! I watched Cloud Atlas during the weekend! It's such a good movie! It is also very weird and disturbing at the same time. Nonetheless, the story about Frobisher was so touching and heartbreaking at the same time. It sort of tore my heart out at the end. Ben Whishaw was amazing, such a great actor. Seriously, I recommend watching the film. It's good, but beware it's rated 15 and there are disturbing bits. Cloud Atlas Sextet is a beautiful piece of music. It's stunningly beautiful. I learnt how to play it on the piano and I love it. Now go and Youtube it. Listen to it and you will see how beautiful it is.

[ ] Gay marriage is fine by you. Don't really have an opinion on gay marriage. So maybe?  
[ ] Boys make better friends than girls do. My best friends are girls... So I guess not. But in some areas, boys are easier to talk to. 
[ ] Pink is an ugly colour. Pink generally is not ugly, some shades are worst than others, but I think it's fine. 
[x] Needles aren't so horrible.
[ ] Human flesh tastes like fine aged veal. I will be shocked if anyone have had human flesh and is admitting it. I will never eat human flesh, even the thought of it is disgusting.

[x] Worn something inside out for a whole day.

Anyone interested, totally do it about yourself. It's quite fun.  

Roller coaster of Life

Hey! 

I am just chilling here with delicious apple pie and vanilla ice-cream and my awesome blog. I haven't wrote anything here for 2 weeks, give or take a day or two. I have just been so busy lately and I really wish I have time to blog more often. I found time now so I am going to spend some quality time with my buddy.  

I think life can often be described as a roller coaster. It has it's up and down. Some times in a different order to how you think it will happen. Life is a series of unexpected events. Or moments. It makes you reflect on your life and how you have made the most of it or ruined and wasted it. 

It's 18 days until my birthday. 18 days until I turn 16. I want to reflect on what I have done with my life and what I can do better or differently. Reality basically smashed into my face when I got my exam time table yesterday. I am not the smartest student. Nor do I have the most exam papers in the summer. I will do the best I can but exam seriously takes like 3 years off our lives. It's still 2 months until I have to start my first exam, but pressure is definitely on. School, teachers, peers and parents give you an overwhelming amount of stress and pressure that you don't really realise. It is hard to handle and it can drain and slowly kill you. Don't keep it all in. It's not good for you. Let it all out. All of it. Cry, scream, punch. Do whatever you want to let it out. It will make you feel better and you deserve to feel better. I think it's best in life to stay positive and think about the beauty of the world you are in and your life, but still be sort of realistic about it. I am not a person who let myself feel emotions easily, so I don't get stressed or pressured as easily as other people. But I hope all of you out there who are pressured or upset as exams and revision is coming up to feel better. You need to relax and think about all the things you have achieved and what a great person you are. As a person who recently dealt with a part failure, I understand life is not easy. However, you have to make the most it. Take time out for yourself so you can think back in like 30 years time and still remember life was not all that bad back when you though it's all doom and hell. 

That's enough of my rambling and "You just sound so mysterious whenever you try to sound philosophical" quoted from my dear friend Beth. I have an art exam in like 2 weeks and I have a ridiculous amount of art coursework I still have to do. So I should get going to do that. I am actually quite motivated in art as my art teacher complimented me and called me an "artist" for doing things that she wouldn't have thought of. I think it's nice get motivated sometimes, it cheers me up. To all you artists, you are all very talented. Art is about expressing yourself in the way you want. Like words. Don't let anyone or anything get you down.  

I wish all of you out there, stressed or not, good luck with whatever you are doing! ^_^

P.S. Erin and Beth, this one is for you guys. You know I love you guys to bits so cheer up! Be happy :)
