So Subtle

Admit it. You've accidentally stumbled over something and tried to play it off as nothing only to find out that the person behind you saw the whole thing. Or if you're lucky, there was no one behind you BUT you see someone far away or somebody in their car laughing at you. Moral of the story is that there is always someone watching your every move. Think you're alone?

You're never alone.

Just kidding!
Or am I?


I am a clumsy person. Not overly clumsy where I trip over every little rock on the ground but clumsy enough to make a scene. It has its ups and downs and, being the shy person I am, it was mostly downs for me. 

One summer day, when I was 14 or 15, I fell over a total of four times throughout the day. It really was an unforgettable day.

  1. The first fall was on the way school. There was a branch on the footpath and good old me thought that I could simply step over it. I thought wrong.
  2. First is the worst and second's the best? No. I was running up the stairs (I think you know where this is going) and I accidentally tried to take two steps instead of one like a normal person and earned myself a pretty neat bruise. It was light green then turned into a mean purple. 
  3. I was in the bus for this third one, sitting on my knees because I was talking to my friend behind me. The bus went around the round-about and I lost my balance and fell... On a really cute guy's leg... Yep, brownie points for me. Well at least I got his number. Third time is really a charm.
  4. And finally, I was crossing the road, in front of many, many cars, might I add. I was so close, SO CLOSE to making it. But no. As I stepped off the road, I lose my balance and fall. In front of everyone. 
As I said, I will never forget that day and the fact that I was wearing my hideous uniform only made it worse.

Like always, thanks for reading!

School's Out

Yay! School finished for the year! I can't even begin to express my joy right now. This entire year has been jam packed with so many events that I barely kept up with any of it. I am just SO glad it's over. 

Today was the last day of the year, which started off with an Extension Maths test. Sucks to be me, right? Well I didn't think it was that bad, granted that my teacher was very lenient on when the test was going to be and made sure we had enough time to prepare for it. Technically it was supposed to be last Friday but we had a Presentation Ceremony at a fancy auditorium that lasted the entire day. However a few people in my class have planned to go overseas and had to do it on the Friday so it ended up being that we had a choice for when we wanted to turn up; Friday or Monday.
Naturally I chose the Monday, along with most of my class, because we wanted to postpone it as much as possible - yes, a bad habit, I know!
So we did the test, which was around an hour and twenty minutes or so, and we missed out on clean-up (since it was the last day, we had to clean everything). Damn! We were all so sad, terribly sad, that we missed out! We've been waiting for this for a whole year!

What sucked though was that my year group gave our year coordinator an owl onesie and I missed it because of the test! Thankfully everyone had photos and it was hilarious! It was great! 

Word of Advice: If you have an awesome year coordinator like I do, or just a great teacher in general, I suggest giving a onesie as a Christmas prezzie.

I guess that's it. Thanks for reading, be safe and take care!
