Holidays!!

It completely freaks me out that I’m going to be in Year 10 next year. I mean, it’s not so much the “Year 10″ part that I’m worried about as opposed to the fact that there’s only going to be two and a half “real” years of school left for me – now THAT’S scary!! And it certainly doesn’t help when I remember that I’m going to be doing Year 11 Maths and Year 11 French next year – yes, DEFINITELY not helping!! Sometimes, doing two Year 11 subjects is great, because it means that I spend less time complaining that work is too easy and more time studying and doing the actual work (which is always fun, I might add, considering it’s Maths and French). However, the only problem with this arrangement is that, sometimes, I kind of get “lost” and I forget that I’m only in Year 10 next year, not Year 11 – that happens when I think about how close the end of my high school years are from ending and how come my calculations aren’t correct when I think about my accelerated Maths class program??

Anyway … Moving on, holidays are fantastic for me right now. I basically don’t do anything at all and I sleep for ten or eleven hours (sometimes straight), and then, during the afternoon or early evening, I take an extra nap or two. For example, yesterday, I skipped lunch and I just had an hour’s nap, and then I didn’t eat anything until dinnertime (about 7:30 pm). These days, my time is taken up by eating, sleeping, drinking, watching TV, complaining about being bored (but kind of secretly enjoying being bored for once, as opposed to my usual rushing, and stressful routine during the rest of the year) and the cycle repeating all over again. I catch up on all my teen movies that I haven’t seemed to watch for a good while, which is always fun. I’ve found some new programs to watch on TV as well: CSI NY, CSI Miami, Cold Case, I Shouldn’t Be Alive Series. As is my habit since a couple of holidays’ back, I always watch the Ellen Show (Channel 9, 12pm – 1pm) and I check out the Oprah Winfrey Show to see if there’s anything interesting there (Channel 10, 1pm – 2pm) – if there’s something good, I watch it, and if not, I watch my own DVDs.

The weather this year is exceptionally odd. It’s the middle of December, by which time the weather should be all nice and summery and about 25 degrees Celsius and above. Instead, what do we have? Clouds, rain, thunderstorms, floods (bushfires, where are you??), cold winds, cold weather. Definitely something weird about the weather’s behaviour this “summer.”

I’m not going away this holidays, so I shall be “chilling out” and making the most of my time right now. And by “making the most of my time”, I mean it as in enjoying how I don’t have to do anything these days and I don’t have to be stressed out about anything.

Since I probably won’t have anything to talk about for a while, Goodbye, Merry Christmas and Have a Happy New Year!!
