From now, I will have no more school for 2 weeks. This has been a long term consisting of 11 weeks, although there was Easter break in the middle somewhere so it was probably more like 10 and a half weeks. Still, the term has been pretty long and has been pretty busy, as you would know if you have read the post from last week.

As far as schools concerned, we haven’t done that much at all this term. Have had 2 assessments in Statistics, which I managed to get an Excellence in, and the other one hasn’t been marked, 1 assessment in Geography, which hasn’t been marked either, 2 assessments in ICT, one passed, other not marked (but will be a pass),  1 assessment in Electronics which I passed and 1 in Physics which hasn’t been marked, but I know I haven’t passed it, yet.

Last day pretty much was mucking around. In ICT, I had finished the test in 2 and a half of the 4 periods given, so I ended up browsing the Internet and playing Minesweeper. In Electronics, I helped a friend try and troubleshoot a computer but it was well and truly fucked, then I started installing Windows XP on another machine and later on helped, which turned out to be actually doing it, installing RAM into another machine. Then last period of the day was the Physics test which was hard. Got to leave early which was a upside, I guess.

I don’t have anything planned for the holidays but it will more than likely consist of my being on the computer and internet doing basically nothing. Two weeks after doing that, school will start again. Not really looking forward to that but it will be nice to get test results back. Hopefully I can think of things to blog about during my holidays to make up for the lack of posts during the school time. HOLIDAYS ARE GO!!!

One of my favourite times of the year, along with Christmas and my birthday, is Easter. Why do I like it so much? I think the answer there is obvious, I LOVE CHOCOLATE! Or to be more specific, I love Easter eggs, especially ones of the Cadbury variety, which happens to be the majority of the Easter chocolate sold here.

This year, I decided to save up my chocolates over the short 5 day Easter break and eat them afterwards. In the end, I think it was a great idea because it gave me something to look forward to after Easter. During Easter I was waiting to see what chocolates I get, and after easter I wait till I can finally eat my chocolaty treats. I normally eat the chocolates in order from worse tasting to best tasting. In all honesty, Cadbury chocolate all tastes good so for that it turns into eating the one with the least chocolate to the most. About a fortnight after Easter, I had eaten all my chocolate and was left with boxes in my closet.

Easter is normally during the term 1 holidays but this year, it was in the middle of the term which means we got a few random days off. We got 3 extra days which in total means a 5 day holiday. It was great to have a break during the middle of the term, the only problem was having to come back in such a short time to finish off the term. I can’t wait for the real holiday coming in a weeks time! I love chocolate!!!

Today, I officially finished school for the year. Classes stopped 3 weeks ago for study leave and exams. You are no officially on holiday until you get signed out of school, which they do on a specified date and time. I had to go back to school for 30 minutes just to return text books and get signatures from teachers so I can leave for my well deserved break.

It is stupid that they make me travel to school just to do that. Its a waste of time. I don’t see why they can’t do that during exams. That would save me from having to return when my exams are all over. At least they are not taking our textbooks back before the exams because they are a useful tool to use when studying, if you choose to study like everyone else, except me.

I personally would have rather slept in this morning instead of making the journey back to the place I would like to leave behind after the difficult year. Oh well, I have to do what I have to do. Now I have 2 months and a little bit more where I will have no school or work. I will be on the computer for most of that time. i with I had something as well as the computer/internet to keep me entertained during this long break. Money would be nice right now, a lot of it, then I could buy video games and other cool gadgets and gizmos to keep me busy until next year when I return for the final time.

Well last time I tried to post, this time last week, something when wrong. I can’t explain what happened and never got round to re-writing the post. I  decided I would take a week off from blogging and in that time school has ended, study hasn’t started, life continues and I think its a holiday. This is going to come back and bite me in the arse, mark my words.

Tuesday was the last day of classes. It was a good day actually. Surfing the internet first period in ICT because I had long finished the assessment that at least two thirds were still trying to complete. Then I had a period of absolutely nothing. Then my final period of 2007, Electronics. Yet again I just wandered around, somewhat pleased with myself for being the only person to complete the course with two periods to spare. Then someone came along and managed to finish aswell, just in the nick of time. Two out of thirty of so people doing electronics actually completing the course in time is an extremely low number. Then it was lunch time and home time.

Prizegiving was also that night. I hadn’t expected to get anything because I have been extremely slack this year and hadn’t achieved very much to be honest. Anyway, I managed to slip in to get a certificate. Surprised me. Wasn’t happy to be there though, would have preferred to be home watching Heroes, Prison Break and Chuck instead.Managed to fit them in the night anyway so I was pleased.

Generally through the week, the TV shows, podcasts and video podcasts stack up for me to watch in the weekend. Since I have been home, that hasn’t happened. I have many hours free and I try to find ways to fill in the time. I should probably be studying instead of checking things off my media list, I’m afraid that the next two and a half months are going to be long, very long. I should probably spend that time watching some of the TV series I have downloaded and stored somewhere else to watch later.

I am running out of ideas on subjects to post about so if anyone has any ideas for me, *cough* Peppery *cough*, they would be greatly appreciated. I can’t wait for November to end so I have that free time to myself and school and exams out of the way. Next year, my final year, is going to be a strange and tough year. I don’t know whether to be scared or happy about finally leaving school.

Less than twelve hours till I will be back at school for the final term this year. This is the term that counts, study study study study! It is the build up towards the exams in 6 weeks. These exams will help determine the rest of our lives, fail you’re screwed, pass, you have the opportunity to move on and do better things. This year, I don’t want to screw this up like last year (not that I screwed up as such, I just could have put in a bit more effort to get the grades I should be aiming for.)

The absence of posts the past week have been for various reasons. First was when I realized I only had 5 days left of my break, I though I better use them productively and not leave things left undone when I start back. The second reason is because a mean person (yes, you know who you are) said that no one reads this so there is no point of me doing it. If you agree with this and you don’t read my blog and you think I should stop, feel free to comment I really wanted to continue my posting streak since last month I posted everyday for that month. This month I initially had a partner but he failed miserably on the first day which later caused me to become lazy and decide not to continue. Dam you Peppery!

The first week on my holiday consisted of surfing the internet, talking on IRC and watching the premieres of the fall shows. My intentions were to say a little bit about the shows I watched in a post but I got lazy and the shows banked up. It is really hard to watch 23 TV shows a week on top of all the video podcasts and audio podcasts aswell. That is basically what I have been doing the past five days, minimizing the queue of stuff to watch before I get back to school where they will most likely start to queue up due to the lack of time. I hope I can still say a quick few words on the TV series I have watched the premieres on but I will either procrastinate further, up to the point where it won’t be done, or I will end up writing it at school, which I doubt greatly.

Anyway, that basically sums up my two weeks break. I wish I had one more week, just one more week. I think that next week and the following weeks, right up until exams, my mind is going to implode under all the things I have to do. So much pressure to watch and do so many things, oh and also study on top of that. I guess I will just take it easy and see how it goes. On another note, don’t expect a blog post again! Leave yum9me ALONE! He’s not well right now. You’re lucky he even wrote for you bastards! Hehe

Today was the last day of term 3. Now I have 2 weeks holiday to waste on the computer and internet. I can use this time to watch some video that I have put aside because of my busy schedule. It will be good to check more shows off my list, but at the same time, more are going to be added because of the fall shows coming out. Eventually, when school is back, the videos will be coming out faster than I can watch them, which is going to be troublesome.

Next term will be finishing off the school year and revising on everything covered this year as we prepare for NCEA external exams in November. Time I should probably studying will probably used watching TV shows since I will struggle to fit them into my schedule otherwise. At least after all the hard work (if I do it) will pay off and them I will get a well deserved 2 months off.
