Today is my last official day of BEDA :(

I ist sad. Oh well, it's not really my last day (I think I'll be quite pleased then) but it is making me sad because it means the end of lovely daily blog posts to read from everyone. *sigh*

I mean, for such a momentous occasion, you'd think I'd have something to say...but I don't. I can't find a bag for the freakin' formal -_- It's annoying :P Also, it looks like my failure in my little tournament with Sean has come to nothing! Yay! Megan will not be held to stupid bets! Although, when I brought this up with him he said, "I'm waiting for the right moment." This has made me slightly nervous again.

Does anyone have any advice for making people feel better when they won't tell you what's wrong? I feel sort of useless :(

I might post a poem that I wrote :P

Flower Flower

Flower, flower,
The suns great power,
On your falling leaves does shine,
Oh flower flower, please be mine,

Flower, flower,
A cleansing shower,
Brightens greenly glistening leaves,
Oh flower flower, king of trees,

Flower, flower,
Beautiful tower,
Lightens earth with brightly coloured burst,
Oh flower flower, pick me first.

Yay! Poem :P

xoxo,
Megan

But the Beat Goes On

So...I was like up until two this morning doing my modern draft haha. I'm a bit tired. It was a free dress day (we have a uniform, so every so often we get free-dress days where we pay a two dollar 'fine' and we get to wear our own clothes) at my school today and the theme was like 'international'. Most people sort of copped out (myself included, I just wore jeans and a hoodie with 'Canada' on it that I bought when I went there). However, my PC (home room) teacher went to Oxford, so he had on his schoolboy hat and blazer. It made me laugh so hard, he looked hilarious!!

This is random and I'm not even going to attempt a segway but apparently what men desire most in a relationship is to feel needed and women desire to feel cherished. I'm sort of thinking that maybe this is where the centuries of female oppression have been about. Subdue women, make them weaker and they will really need you haha. I'm half-kidding.

Life is:

Green tea
Staying up late
Stress
Friends having problems :(
Formal preparation
Being out of the loop
Fairy tales
BEDA
A, A-, A
Monotony

Starstruck

Today has been a mixed day. I recieved back results, one I was not at all happy with (maths), one I was quite happy with (modern history) and one I was on the fence about (economics).

I have a modern history draft due tomorrow that I haven't started, so I have to make this a short one. Today we had a performance of a theatre company who perform Shakespeare. Today they did excerpts from Macbeth, Hamlet and The Taming of the Shrew. One of the theatre dudes was totally hot, he reminded me of a young, and real, Snape. I was in love :P I've actually studied The Taming of the Shrew in drama before and we're studying Hamlet now in english. I performed excerpts from The Taming of the Shrew in drama and I am going to have to perform excerpts of Hamlet in english so it was really cool to see them performed today. I also got two new assignments today (english and english extension), so I'm not too happy about that, wah wah.

My mum also had parent teacher interviews tonight. She only talked to two of my teachers, my english teacher and my economics teacher because she wanted to meet them. My english teacher said I was the best student in her class, which I thought was a nice compliment. It surprised me actually, I thought she hated me haha. My economics teacher loves me, so he spent the time paying me out to my mother hehe.

Um, in good news I found my glasses that were lost yesterday. Actually, I went to Reception to ask about them and they were there. The creepy thing was that they had my name and year level on a note on them (my name isn't anywhere on the glasses or case). Someone knows what glasses I wear!!!

Erm, I can't really think of anything else to say and besides, my draft awaits! *groan*

Advice to the Youth - Twista Trip Feat. LaLa Brown

So, I performed my S.O.R. rap today. It was a contemporisation of the Biblical story 'Advice to a Young Man' in Ecclesiastes 11:8-12:9.

Here are the lyrics:

Uh, that’s right,
Twista Trip here with Miss LaLa Brown,
Take it away LaLa,

Apathetic on the sidelines we’re Generation Y,
Not caring about change and too messed up to try,
Gossiping about celebs when they join the Mile High,
‘Steada enjoying our lives, we try to look fly,

We feel so entitled but we’re still unhappy,
No one takes the time to sit and think and just be,
Texting friends and chatting with a computer screen,
With our office jobs and our friends on T.V.,

Looking at the world, we always flowing the hate,
No one now can see that our lives are pretty great,
We spend our time scrutinising LiLo’s best mate,
‘Steada chilling with homies before it’s too late,

Chorus x 2
While you’re young, you gotta help when you can do,
Don’t waste time thinking about Britney’s new tan fool,
You don’t wanna die and wanna do it again cool,
Love every moment has gotta be your new life’s rule,

Gotta stop starving, ‘steada Celebrity Slim,
Or spending 20 hundred on flashy new rims,
Can’t stop global warming without changing a thing,
When you got apathy and hate, nobody wins,

Get outta your cubicle and into the world,
Take a walk in the park, maybe meet a new girl,
Why don’t you seize the day, go on, give it a whirl,
Live every second and rejoice in them all,

[Singer Insert]
Live your life the way God asked you,
Respect all men, don’t matter who,
Lives are short, there’s lots to get through,
You’ve really got nothing to lose,

Why don’t you banish anxiety from your mind,
Leave all of your old regrets behind,
Know for all your actions, you’re gonna be repaid in kind,
Think of the love and happiness that you will find,

If all you believe in the Lord put your hands up,
You eat the bread and drink the wine from the cup,
Follow the ways of God, give him his due worship,
At the gates of Heaven, God’s gonna ask wassup?

Chorus x 2
While you’re young, you gotta help when you can do,
Don’t waste time thinking about Britney’s new tan fool,
You don’t wanna die and wanna do it again cool,
Love every moment has gotta be your new life’s rule

That’s right

I think it went okay. People applauded after I did it and I had several people come up to me afterwards and tell me that my oral was really good. Fingers crossed, it went well.

P.S. I went online to a rapper name generator and my male rapper name was Twista Trip and my female rapper name was LaLa Brown haha, that's where I got them from :P

EPIC FAIL

I just completely forgot to post yesterday. Like, it did not even cross my mind. Oopsie, I'll post twice today though, to make up for it haha :)

My formal is actually on the second of May, so it will miss BEDA!! I'm still going to be posting though, because I didn't start BEDA until like the fifteenth of April. I will post lots of pictures though hehe.

I actually just spent like the ENTIRE weekend writing, recording and editing my S.O.R. assignment. I didn't do any of my homework or anything haha. I still haven't done it tonight but that's because I'm lazy.

Um, nothing particularly exciting happened today, so I am going to end this post here. Check out my other post today! :P

ANZAC Day

Today, as you might have gathered from the title, was ANZAC Day. ANZAC stands for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps and today is when we honour and remember all of our fellows who have served and died in war.

We had a ceremony for this yesterday at my school. It was really moving and I nearly cried. However, I got a little bit annoyed because all of the focus was on WWI and WWII, no one even mentioned the Vietnam War or even the Iraq War. It made me so mad because it's like Australia is ashamed to be/have been participating in them and so we act like they don't exist. People have died in both of those wars, they have been devastating and people have made HUGE sacrifices and yet we act like they don't exist.

I mean, it's not like I'm exactly FOR our involvement in them either. I hate the idea of anyone interfering in each other's affairs for no good reason. But the simple fact is that soldiers don't declare war, Governments do. I'm like a total pacifist. I have yet to hear of a good reason for anyone going to war. (I mean maybe, maybe, the killing of Jews in Germany but that's not even the reason we went to war. Everyone turned a blind eye until they invaded Poland *rolls eyes*).

I'm actually writing an assignment on the anti-Vietnam War movements at the moment for Modern History. Well, I should be, I've been working on S.O.R. all day but that's due sooner so, you know, prioritising. I know that people were horrible to the Vietnam veterans when they came home. Admittedly, everyone on both sides committed atrocities but the simple fact is that I'm almost certain that they would not have done these things had they not been ordered. Ugh, it just makes me sad.

Anyway, in less somber news, I was watching RENT today and I noticed something extraordinary! Maureen in RENT is called MAUREEN JOHNSON!! I freaked out :P Maybe everyone already knew that but it impressed me. My sister was a bit weirded out haha.

I have to record my rap tomorrow and I...have to like...finish writing it first lol. I also have to memorise my oral entirely tomorrow, which I'm not really looking forward to. I'm not very good at giving orals that I haven't memorised so it's going to be really important for me to have this DOWN by Monday morning. Plus, it always impresses the teachers if they see that you've gone to that much trouble ;)

My formal (prom) dress arrived the other day, I'm not entirely sure if I said. This be it. (Happy 11:11 by the way, make a wish :P)

Notes:

1) You can't really tell in this picture but the straps are actually like a forest green

2) Obviously this is not to the floor, I'm not freakishly short :P

3) I cut off my head because I was making a strange face lol

4) This picture sort of makes me look bigger than I am. I guess the dress is partially to blame because it makes my boobs look WAY bigger than they are in real life.

I'm going to go now, have a nice whatever-time-of-day :)

xoxo,

Megan
