Assassin's Creed Brotherhood

People in America can play this game right now.

I can't.

It makes me sad.

Day One

Today marks my first day of freedom from the constraints of high school education. So far I have slept in till about 10, and I am now in the process of moving my computers and stuff into my room. I am now allowed my computer in my room as I have finished with high school. I just like saying I have finished high school a lot because it makes me feel good.

I got a call from my dad this morning. He commented that I wasn't really celebrating the fact I have finished. I think he was also encouraging me to go out and party.

I don't know, i'm just not the party type.

I have a loud voice

It simply cannot be helped. I have always had a loud birth, it is a part of me. So what I have is when I get told off for being loud. When I shout cause I get angry yes it is going to be very loud, because I have a loud voice naturally. Can people please get off my back about my voice!

One day, it will save lives!!

High School Education

For me it lasted from year 7 until year 12. It was six years and two schools in two different states. One of an all boys school and the other a co-ed school.

It let me become friends with heaps of people that I will never forget, and I will never let them forget me because they have been such a great influence in my life. I have learnt many different things from many different subjects and many different teachers.

But the most important aspect of my high school education.

It that it's over.

Final Exams

As of the moment I typed this, it is 10:24pm, Perth, Western Australia. Tomorrow I have to complete 2, 3 hour exams, one for Literature and one for Psychology.

The Literature exam involved analysing a given text and writing an essay on it, and then writing another 2 essays on some of the texts I studied this year. The Psychology exam is just answering some basic questions and maybe a tiny essay.

In less than 24 hours I will have finally completed my high school education, forever.

I'm keen.

Update: Reading Challenge

The Facebook list had 37 titles not on the BBC "The Big Read" list, which means my list goes from 100 to 134.

However there are also books on the updated list that I have already read:

1) Artemis fowl by Eoin Colfer

2) The Alchemist by Paul Coehlo

This means I have read 12 out of 134 books.

Book Challenge

So I saw this thing on Facebook blah blah blah and then a list of books and you see how many you had read. This list is from the BBC so I feel pretty proud of myself that before I am legally considered to be an adult, I have read 10/100.

That is 10% of the books.

I thought about making myself read all of the 100 books. And I am going to. But I also felt that it needed a cool name, like 100 books in 100 years (cause I can't read a book in a day or something) however I don't think that biologically have that long.

So I am just going to have this challenge that I need to complete. I won't post all hundred of the books but I will post the ten I have already read:

1) The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling (7 books only count as 1, wtf)

2) His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman

3) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

4) The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

5) The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

6) The Lord of the Flies

7) The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon

8) Of Mice and Men by John Steinback

9) Hamlet by William Shakespeare (Though there is also a listing for ALL of Shakespeare's works, so I am confused)

10) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Ronald Dahl

I think it will take me a few years. I turn 18 in under a month, so maybe by the time I am 25, if I put a good effort in, I can have them all read. If i go in order of the books I have to read Pride and Prejudice.

This is going to be a long 7 years.

To study or not to study

That is the question.

Tomorrow I have my final Literature and Psychology exams

Wish me luck!

Resurrection

It has nearly been a complete year since I have posted on BlogSpot and I am sure that most of my followers (a grand total of 5) only 1 of them are still using this website :D

But I do not care about that because in all honesty, I need to commit to this. I have a lot of friends, but I need someone that I can talk to without being judged. Which is why I turn to the internet. Because when someone does try to judge me, it doesn't matter as I don't know them.

I also want to use this as a journal for next year as I travel around Europe, America and Costa Rica. Though there is be no internet in Costa Rica, so I will post about it when I get back into a country with internet :D

Hopefully I shall attain some more followers or something. Maybe someone will follow and they will rave about how amazing this blog is (note the sarcasm) but hey what ever happens, happens.

"I know it's been a long time for me"

Well you know it has been a while since I have posted anything, and right now I find myself a little bored with the absence of Zodiax, she just left, and Style couldn’t even make it today :( Hopefully she feels better soon.

Well anyway this is just going to be a short post about my new year resolution.

And it is to: Say Yes More.

This is to all and every opportunity. Cause I have read the novel Yes Man, which was the basis for the movie staring Jim Carrey, and believe that it is fantastic. But I do tend to say no to a lot of things, just small opportunities and such (however it is going to take a lot for me to dance :P)

But yes, I want to try and say yes more, like this morning I went for a swim with horses, and well I mean, how often will an opportunity like that ever appear again. So yeah, lets see where this takes me.
