woopsie daisy

oh gosh. i'm so sorry.

it's been a while.

i've just been kind of stressed/busy with all these assessments and assignments due in over the past few weeks. well, there weren't that many but i guess i must've been overwhelmed.

or something.

but yeah! it's week 8 starting tomorrow!! and it's also springtime!!!!! FINALLY. winter can be such a bitch. one bad thing - i like wearing stockings with my school uniform. :( my legs look uglier when i wear socks.

it's true.

but the days are going to get longer, and the days will be warmer. this can also be a bad thing. i like my blazer. but anyway, i'm still very behind on my maths homework.....:(

and i got a tooth pulled out yesterday. it's so weird having a hole in my mouth/a gap in my teeth. i can't eat on the right side of my mouth because it just feels really weird. i asked the dentist if i could keep my tooth and so i have it in a little plastic container. it's gross but fascinating. the dentist said my tooth has a really long root. i guess it did, but i haven't seen too many pulled out adult teeth in my time, so i can't really say anything.

even though i didn't do my maths homework today, i did finish reading two books. can't wait to do more reading! (maths homework sucks) again, because it's a sunday night: I HATE SCHOOL. i just want to sleep all day..............

oh shit and yeah i haven't got a formal dress yet. i really should go looking soon. :O it's getting urgent. less than 2 months left! ugh. at least i have a basic style in mind, so i won't flounder around too much.

and the paralympics! australia's doing pretty well! 2nd overall last time i checked! woopwoop yay australia is coolio. but we are seriously in danger of being overtaken by 'team gb'. sad, i know.

sigh sigh. don't wanna do anything too strenuous for the rest of the term. maybe some shopping. nothing that requires a lot of thinking.

whatevs. gotta fly (to bed)!

goodnight,

rachel

i hate germany

sorry i haven't been on lately...i've been too caught up in the olympics. :/

and i hate germany.

they suck.

balls.

honestly.

germany is stupid.

i seriously hate the following countries:

  • germany
  • china
  • usa
  • great britain
screw all of them. there are probably more that i hate. i hate a lot of countries..........but hungary and the czech republic = such cutie pies. :)

australia's men's k4 team......SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!! GAH! I CANNOT HANDLE THE CUTENESS. MOST ADORABLE TEAM EVER.

it is currently 3:16am.

i should be in bed, but the olympics. SERIOUSLY. i've been consistently been getting less than 5 hours sleep for the past week. amazingly, i'm not really tired. i haven't crashed yet. i think i'll just sleep for the whole day on saturday.

and i am one whole chapter behind in maths on a topic i don't understand. fml. stupid logarithms.

i feel super hungry right now.

and i hate usa and germany and china.

forever.

i think i'll just leave now.

goodnight.

woop-de-doo

it's been a while, again.

update on my life:

  • i have a maths topic test tomorrow plus that westpac maths comp
  • my essay is due on friday
  • oh dear
  • BUT THE OLYMPICS ARE AWESOME
  • OMFG
  • the olympics is ruining my sleep/life
there are way too many events to talk about so i won't say anything besides AUSTRALIA IS AWESOME AND USA AND CHINA SUCK.

yeah. that's right.

and great britain finally got their first gold medal about half an hour ago. LOL.

it's been freezing cold recently...seriously. the wind blowing past me numbs my face. well, my face gets halfway to numbness and the tip of my nose goes red and i go all sniffly and it's super annoying. sometimes i wish i had a school scarf because we're not allowed to wear non-school uniform scarves. but then i remember school scarves are super expensive and itchy and heavy and i say no.

besides, i can save that money to buy clothes or something. yay clothes.

i really like clothes. and shoes.

i like shoes. :)

and i think i may have fallen in love with the french language. well, not fallen in love per se, but i love speaking it. i love french. :') it is awesome.

i haven't studied for my maths test..............................:'(

gonna go get myself another cup of tea and settle down with some paper and my maths textbook. ~sigh. what a life, huh? but still, i'm glad to still be in year 10 - year 12 sounds so stressful.

okay, tea-time! toodles for now,

homework WHAT HOMEWORK

i cannot be bothered to do my homework tonight, but there's not much anyway. (just maths........)

BUT ANYWAY, an update on school so far (ugh):

  • i thought i was [really] behind with my macbeth homework questions but it turns out that now i am slightly ahead.........:)
  • haven't started my macbeth essay...whatever it's due next week
  • oh dear that in-class essay sounds like it will be the death of me D:
  • maths homework: not too far behind....i can catch up on the weekend (read: procrastinate)
  • david starkey is a funny guy
  • i LOVE french!!! seriously, je l'aime!
  • i want some chips
that is all. gonna go find some chips
even though it is almost 11
*FATTY ALERT*

oh yeah i burnt myself in science today.............

explanation? mr evans said to us that we had to stick this metal rod in the bunsen flame to sterilise it. he added that we could touch it after a few seconds (when it cooled down). SO i waited a few seconds and.........

i touched it.

and i burnt myself. only a little, like a white line on my thumb.

le sigh.

the past week has been okay.......

OH YEAH. i went shopping on sunday with jess and i bought some stuff - 2 skirts, a skort and a purple top! :O i also bought my present for mish. and a bag of strawberry clouds.

mmmmmmm strawberry clouds............n_____n

my wardrobe is slowly expanding......and my mum went out to dinner with her workmates today and came back with two pairs of shoes for me! hehe. my shoe collection is also expanding!!!

I LOVE SHOES.

seriously.

and i hate maths.

on that note, goodnight.

rachel


p.s anyone excited for the olympics!?!?! gotta watch swimming, track (100m/hurdles/etc), gymnastics, tennis........YAY :) love watching sport

want to die!?

(yes, i want to die)

TODAY WAS THE FIRST DAY OF TERM 3/SCHOOL.

i was so superduper tired this morning. i tried to sleep from midnight onwards, but all i managed was light dozing. man. i hate those nights. they feel so long until it's almost time to get up. when i did manage to get up, i was so grumpy and really tired/dead. honestly, i just wanted to fall back into bed and pretend there was no school.

school was actually pretty average. it was a pretty slow day because it was the first and the teachers are all like, "hi girls, how were your holidays? did you watch any movies/go anywhere? you look really tired, blah blah" and everyone's too busy catching up with friends or catching up on sleep to say anything at all, really.

omg. also, my friend's having a doctor who themed birthday party and i've got plans for my costume! woop! :) however, i need to go to salvos this weekend or whatever for costume pieces/other bits and pieces of stuff.

and i really want to go shopping.

like, now.

i really want some new shoes.............even though i have quite a few pairs lying around. (silly, spoilt child)

and i spent a while going through some downton abbey tumblr posts!!! :3 so much cuteness and feelings. i think i will explode one day from all the downton abbey stuff.

ugh. macbeth. i think it's okay, but it's really hard for me to get started on work. however, when i get into work, i get into it. seriously. but those times are rare........................

SHITE. it is almost midnight.

better go to sleep then, kiddos!

goodnight all,

rachel

i am currently really bored. i want to take a shower but it's past 9. :( i've gone through tumblr, twitter, my emails.......maybe i should go play a game. hmm.

i've turned the tv on so stick it is playing behind me. i'm not even sure if i've ever watched this movie before. i'm not even sure what's going on, so yeah.

ugh i feel so gross because i haven't showered today. ew.

you know what? i think i'll just go take a shower anyway. and then go get a slice of tiramisu afterwards. yum.

something's happening tomorrow........what am i doing? i'll just write it out here...

  • go to library/cab
  • officeworks
OH MY GOSH. i need to buy materials to make a costume. wah! totally forgot. man. how much of my money is that going to use up? :'(

OKAY. feeling totally gross....shower time!

ROGER FEDERER WON WIMBLEDON 2012

ROGER FEDERER HAS WON WIMBLEDON (GENTLEMEN'S SINGLES) 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HE WON HE WON HE WON HE WON HE WON

ROGER IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so happy for him :')

but i feel bad for andy murray.......he cried in his speech and i cried too. it was so heartbreaking.....

he'll have his time though.................

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

federer is such a cutie. he's number one in the world again!!!!!!! he definitely deserves it. :)


ROGER, YOU ARE AWESOME!

~

since wimbledon is over, i have no more tennis to watch. :( how sad.............can't wait 'til the australian open! also, the olympics are on soon, so that'll be fun to watch. but this also means no more staying up past 2am.

~

ALSO, on downton abbey, matthew can walk again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  n________n and sybil and branson finally kissed. DOWNTON ABBEY IS AWESOME.

however, not as awesome as ROGER FEDERER.

close to 4am. better go to bed now. goodnight!!

GO FERRER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ferrer is awesome!!!

but now i feel bad for andy murray......he's never won a slam and i reckon he deserves one.

but then the crowd is cheering mostly for murray because he's british/scottish so ferrer seems a bit unloved.....

okay going for ferrer!

FERRER IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

rachel


p.s GO TSONGA!!!! he is awesome too.

wimbledon & food

WIMBLEDON!

is kinda boring. well, it's good but not as good as aus open. (could be because i'm an australian)

i am very disappointed because rafa lost. :'( can you believe it!? i can't believe rosol beat him! rosol is ranked 100. how sad. obviously great for rosol, but since i love rafa......yeah.

somehow i'm still awake - for the last few days i've been trying to stay up for wimbledon but i kept falling asleep on the floor and waking up at 1 or 2 o'clock. the only reason i'm still awake is because i ate food (specifically popcorn and some ice cream)

now i'm getting tired. however, I MUST STAY AWAKE. i have to watch the ferrer v. roddick match! GO FERRER! :) (azarenka just won) also, go del potro!

and serena better beat jie zheng. seriously. GO SERENA! woo

ahh. feels good right now. WINTER HOLIDAYS! no school for 2 weeks! coolio, right?

i really want/need to go shopping. eeee! shopping is so fun! :D haven't been to dfo in a while........

my internet keeps stuffing up. fricking. i hate bigpond.............man i'm getting really tired.

OH DEAR. serena's match is 6-7 in the 3rd set.......SHE BETTER WIN!!!! apparently channel 7 can't show serena's match due to 'contractual obligations'. that's why we only get to see live scores. poop.

i really hope del potro beats nishikori!!! like, really, REALLY hope.

gonna go now.......goodnight peeps!!

rachel

p.s i've had this on repeat all day! i'm addicted. :)

the scorch trials

OH MY GOSH.

i finished reading the scorch trials.

oh my gosh.

i seriously. like. i don't even.

i really need that third book.....................

sorry it's been a while, but i've been busy procrastinating, i.e. falling behind with maths homework and keeping up with tumblr

WAH. i need the death cure. the book, i mean.

the zombie apocalypse sounds interesting, don't you think?

OH MY GOSH.

william died on downton abbey last night. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DID THAT. HE WAS THE SWEETEST GUY. HE SAVED MATTHEW. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT AWOAIVHYNBSAP !!!!!! i pretty much cried through three quarters of the episode. and i cried before i slept. (i didn't cry myself to sleep because i couldn't sleep) seriously, it was the saddest thing ever. SERIOUSLY.

he was so cute, and so nice (unlike that arsehat thomas. grr) WHY WHY WHY!?!?!?! :'''''''(

:( (continuing on...)

currently watching wimbledon. sam stosur won her match. djokovic is playing right now. gasquet won his match. nalbandian seems like an absolute arsehat.

can you believe that the broadcast goes until 4am!? i can't stay up that late......:(

but i'm not missing tsonga's match tomorrow night! (lol he's up against lleyton hewitt kekekekeke) GO TSONGA! WOOOOOOOO!

it seems pretty obvious that djokovic is going to win his match in straight sets (poor ferrero) by golly. i've missed tennis. it's been so long since aus open.

wah wah wah. william. scorch trials. big load of wah. :(

i shall leave now (and take my tears with me)

patrick is so hot

just a quick post.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT PATRICK (FROM OFFSPRING) IS SUPER HOT.

offspring is seriously messing with my head. if nina and patrick don't get back together by the season finale i am going to go c r a z y.

and if downton abbey isn't on this sunday, i will curse channel 7 and go cry in a corner.

honestly, i haven't got my dan stevens fix for this week. i crave it.

i live for sundays.

11:11pm

make a wish!

school is boring, but the library's cool

hello everyone/no one!

so i finally got all my exam results back. (p.e. and maths suck) i did ok-ish/well in most of my exams (ahem, i hate you maths) and i was disappointed in my mark for p.e. :( i hope i don't get a B, or i will CRY.

however, on a happier note, i am equal first in the class in au history! yay i get a merit this year. :) i thought i was bad at history in general, but i somehow managed to get full marks in both my au and elective history exams. hmm. oh well, still not considering HSIE subjects for year 11 + 12.

ugh. my evening so far has not been fun. up until just before i started writing this blog post, i was extremely pissed. freaking internet is capped, so it took me 3 hours to get through tumblr/check my emails/do internet stuff in general. it should only take me an hour or so!!! what a waste of time! i had no time to do my maths homework!!! guess i'll just do it in class tomorrow. :'( *I DON'T LIKE TRIG*

anyway, i managed to borrow heat wave from the library today! i had no idea the library had it, but luckily i was browsing in the morning. :) can't wait to read it. SO EXCITED! i love castle. :3


CASTLE IS AWESOME!!!!!

also borrowed the scorch trials. i've totally forgotten everything that happened in the maze runner. (woops) so i have no idea who's who and what's happening....wikipedia synopsis time!

oh gosh that reminds me: MACBETH! i'm so lost and clueless and i don't want to do the panel discussion......at least i won't be in english on thursday - i'll be appearing in my friend's multimedia movie, so i get a few periods off class to film my part. yay no class!

not much has happened..........can't wait until the holidays! woohoo 2 weeks left!

le sigh. it's getting late. better go to bed...goodnight! (capped internet sucks!)

turning over a new leaf (more like a forest)

SO

it is currently 22 minutes past 1 in the morning, and i have decided to start a new blog.

this pretty much means my other blog has been abandoned...oh well. hopefully i won't forget about this blog too quickly.

now, onto general details:
  • my name is rachel
  • i am currently 1 and a 1/2 decades old/a year 10 student
  • i love downton abbey and castle :)
  • i am a normal teenage girl (i.e. ordinary, insecure, crushing on several celebrities, angry at parents [sometimes] and mood-swingy)
  • my friends are odd but cool
  • i generally don't capitalise, but when i do, it's usually in blocks
  • i hate liars
  • call me maybe is stuck in my head
phew! now that's done, if you still think you're not completely stupid for being here, here's the link to my twitter and my tumblr (i update both regularly/almost daily).

i'm not entirely sure what this blog is going to be for. maybe it'll give me a few laughs if i read back on these posts in a few years' time, but i'm probably going to just say random things about how my life is awesome/shitty and how hot michael grant terry and dan stevens are.

now i reckon it's time to go to sleep...........goodnight no one

rachel
