[28/08/08] It's been nearly two months since Central left

Two months tomorrow, it's strange. Everyone should also be glad to know that I just switched my calendar over to August. On the 28th. I never ended up changing my calendar over to April, I just went straight to May.

This week has been a bit strange. Some of us want to revolt against one line in the year 12 song, which is "And is this the last time you'll see us standing here with you?" We think it's too sad, like something you'd sing at a funeral. And I've had enough of funerals, even though it's been two weeks since the last one. Last Wednesday was the year anniversary of my grandma's death, the day of the formal was the eight year anniversary of my grandfather's. The guy who played Dan on All Saints (which I never watched) died today. So let's leave that topic there, this isn't supposed to be depressing.

Amy just IMed me. She's going on exchange to China over the holidays. Does she learn Chinese? No. I find this concept strange, which is why she fits it perfectly. She just said that she misses her puppets. I worry about that girl. Or maybe I've just spent too much time talking to Tom. Oh, apparently "They just caused me enough stress to mimic a maternal response". Suuure.

No news on the laptop front still. Today in French we were doing a practise exam. This was however, the one that Meagan and I did in New Caledonia (I miss that a lot too, probably because of the exam, and writing about chips at Sydney airport <3 Lacey, Alicia, Amy, Jacqueline, Liv and Julie. Oh, and I miss all the hilarity caused by the 4 boys, all known as Alex), so I kind of knew it. And when we did it, we were warned by Tasha, Phillipe and Alice that one of the reading comprehensions was really weird. So today, the people who are really good at French were getting all narky about it. Which I found funny, because I'm weird like that.

I'm planning on doing a topic centric blog post for Nerdy Strangers next week, but I don't know what to do. Ideas? I'll put it up on the ning. I already have a few. You know what's useful? A shout box.

'And is this the last time you'll see us standing here with you'

Makes it sound like you'll never see anyone from your classes again. At least we had 'We go together'

Although I'm not entirely sure what the 'ramalamalamakadingitydingshoobop',or however that's spelt, means in terms of going together.

Also, well done on the calendar front. I still have last years calendar up.

We're singing it in front of the whole school. Besides, we'll be back the next day to study in the library. Or I will. And we have to go to school for exams. What a strange system.

I don't normally have calendars, except my teacher gave me this one, which is very useful, clearly, since I know which month it is... apparently.
