Why can't there just be a box on google where you can type in a question, click the 'google search' button, and have the exact answer to your question appear? Would make life so much easier, students could all do so much better with their schoolwork and could therefore gain higher levels of qualification! Therefore, making the world a more educated place.

Hint hint, google.

AWOL

Heading into summer again, i love season changes, it's nice to know that everything is going to change, temperature, clothes, your skin...
I always get dry skin around this time of year. Does anyone else? Please tell me someone else does too.
I haven't blogged for awhile, so much has been happening, but then when I think back to it, it seems like nothing at all actually has. Being a senior at High School pretty much takes up my life, especially around this time of year with exams, finishing internals and attending tutorials.
I also have had alot of hostel stuff to do, me being Deputy Head Girl ;). We have our annual "Euphrasie House Christmas Dinner" tonight, exactly53 days away from the Big Day itself. We all dress up in skirts and dresses (dress code), go to mass in our (creepy) chapel and then file into the hall and sit at our delegated seats. It's usually quite a lovely evening, everyone is in good spirits and the food is actually decent for once. At the end of the evening, the hostel manager gives a disgustingly dramatic speech "this year has been a whirlwind of adventure, so many changes and new faces, but we have all come out on top." Oh shut up, Mrs Burbery. Afterwards, the new leaders for the next hostel year are announced and then the 7th formers stand up and say what they will be doing next year, after they have graduated from High Schooll. That's usually pretty cool knowing what they plan to do and that their last year hasn't been for nothing.

A pleasant evening which relights the small fire of respect we have for hostel life.

Another photoshoot that I did for my friend, Frances.

Juliet

This year at my school you are allowed to do photography as a subject and the first assignment was to rennact a famous photographers idea by using a person as a muse and following the way the models in the shoots posed. I was delighted when my friend asked me to model for her and said YES!! So I found myself being zipped into a beautiful white strapless dress of Frances's that she actually bought from an op shop and was taken outside into the summer evening for my first ever (and very amatuer) photoshoot! Here are some of the pics:

Hello Halloween

Lucy, Elsa Sohie and me had just been to pizza hut for dinner to escape disgusting hostel food and whilst we were sitting nicely eating our pizza like good catholic girls, a chip lands on Elsa's plate. These stupid immature 19 year old boys had thrown it at us in a bid to get our attention, we were like 'nahhhhh bo' and so we threw an entire ice cream (with a cone attached) back at them, mwahahahaha. Then we decided we'd probably better get going as they were staring at us like ' what the hellll'.. so we got up and were standing by the counter getting ready to pay and one of the dudes comes over to us and says ' you b'tches threw an ice cream at us, you want some water?' and pretended to throw it at us. We just looked and laughed and he eventually walked away with his tail between his legs. Hahahaha....
So after pizza hutwe decided we didn't want to go straight back to the hostel, we wanted to go trick or treating! So we got cerise (one of the girls at the hostel who always sneaks us things through the window) to grab us a hostel sheet so two of us could go under the sheet as a two headed ghost, but. We were so stuffed and feeling slightly sick from all the pizza (we reckoned that one of the waitresses at pizza hut had poisoned our pizza since we were making such a mess....) that we just ended up sitting on the grass on our sheet at marian (the little kids catholic school next door to the hostel) and just chilled there for a bit.
When we walked back into the hostel you couldn't wipe the sheepish smile from my face, carrying in the grass stained sheet with thoughts of immature university boys and evil waitresses in my mind.
All in all, a good halloween, although quite different to what I expected.











And, no I'm not in any of these photos.. I'm the awesome photographer :D

Cutie.

why? whywhywhy? why??

It's a weekday afternoon, I put on my running shoes and tie my hair back and set off for my afternoonly run.
I'm going well, got my rythym, my muscles are warm and my heads in de-stress mode.
Suddenly a loud, unnattractive car horn toots at me, and i hear a guys obnoxious voice calling out 'YEAAAAAH NIIIIICE!'
Disturbing me from my own lisaland, and totally killing my buzz :/
All I think is, 'yuck, do you not have anything better to do with your time?' while resisting the urge to pull the finger at the idiot.
Seriously, why do guys do that? It so makes me feel gross, and pretty violated. It's especially embarrassing when it happens and I'm running with my dad!
I am so sick of it happening, so now when it happens i start plotting in my head what i would do to them if i was a leader of the world wide feminist association.
I could so send out my army of obedient feminists on orders to chop their dicks off to make them feel some pain!!

i think i just might do that. (!!!!!!)

another sight of summer!

pink blossom tree in full bloom at school, yeeeaaaah :D

Broken Daisy Chain

daisy's left over from my over-a-metre-long daisy chain I made yesterday with a friend from the hostel, down by the river. It was such beautiful weather that we felt as if we had to make them to symbolise the start of the new season coming ... hurry up and come summer!

My take on a contrast of the weather right now. It seems as if it can't quite decide wether (haha, get it?) it wants to be summer :) , or winter :( .

Serve, Love, Meditate, Realize

Wikipedia defintion: Meditation is a mental discipline by which one attempts to get beyond the reflexive, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness.





I watched a movie about yoga and meditation at school recently, and wow wow wow did it make me feel inspired. As cheesy as this sounds, it opened my mind to the real meaning of meditation. Generally when you think of the word 'meditation' you think of men wrapped up in sheets with shaved heads sitting still in a weird position for a looong time. Well i know that i did. My mind has certainly been changed, i can see why you would want to meditate, and i can almost see the need. Almost. The movie explained that meditating helps you to feel the oneness within your soul and the ablilty to connect with your outer and inner-being while feeling clarity and pureness. Mmmmm.. I think tonight i might try to feel the calming hit that appparently meditation brings about your soul.

When you stop smoking

After 20 minutes your blood pressure returns to normal. After 8 hours the levels of carbon monoxide in your blood are halved After 24 hours your lungs start to clear out debris. After 1-3 months lung function will improve by up to one third. After 5 years your risk of lung cancer will be halved. After 10 years your risk of all smoking related cancers will have reduced to almost normal levels. Even more reasons to quit smoking and less to start.
