Thursday Already (time goes so fast)

I meant to post this bit below about my holidays ages ago (it's almost the end of my first week back)  but I haven't gotten around to it until now. To read my post about today and more recent things, they're at the end. The following bit with the piccies was written on the last Sunday night of the holidays.

PS: They are all my photos. ♥

Hey there guys! Hope you had a nice Sunday. I wonder what you did today?

Well, me? I spent the day lapping up as much as I could, because today is my last day of the holidays! L Even though I’m sad that school is so near, somewhere deep down I’m excited because I don’t know what’s going to happen. ;)

Today I slept in till about 9:30 till Mum decided to come and wake me up, saying if I stay in bed all day I won’t be able to sleep tonight and therefore be cranky in the morning. So groaning, I got up and faced the day.

As desperate as I was to freshen up for school tomorrow, my little brother Rory somehow managed to drag me outside to go for a walk outside on our block of land. So, equipped with some food, our gumboots and an umbrella (it’s been rainy on and off for this last week of the holidays) we headed off. I must admit, it was nice being outside and exploring around our block even though my hands freezing cold!

Here are some photos I took of our walk:

at the top right hand corner of this picture is my house!

Sorry there are no pics of me there…I’m the one behind the lens!!

After the walk I’ve just been chilling at home enjoying my last hours of freedom before I go back to school.

What about the rest of my holidays? Well, coz its winter it got sooo cold the pool froze over one day…

Check out the leaf sitting on the top of the pool!!

It was sooo cold that morning! I came in pretty quick after taking a few photos! Even most of the garden had a big coating of frost on it too!

Mt. Buller was covered in a beautiful dumping of snow during the holidays. It’s only been the past couple of days the snow has melted a bit and it has been really cloudy and yuck up there. But take a look at these pics I took a bit earlier in the holidays (and yes, these are from my house, some zoomed in a bit but this is our view!!!):

Skiing isn’t really my thing…don’t get me wrong I’ve tried it and would again but not with school. Yeah, at school every Wednesday of this term you get the opportunity go to skiing/snowboarding for the whole day!

Now, here’s just a few randoms that I took during the hols:

My Foxie/Jack Russel, Rosie! She's about nine years old (in human years). Here she is giving me the please give me another treat or the come over here and cuddle me look.

The frozen-over bird bath!!!



That’s what the side of my bed has looked like for most of the holidays—huge piles of books from the library which have kept me thoroughly entertained on those lazy rainy days you can't do anything on.

As well as the ones from the library, I’ve read the Narnia series. Well, the first book (The Magician’s Nephew) and about halfway through The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe. As much as I love newer books like Harry Potter, Twilight and The Hunger Games, I can’t go past the old classics.





With my library books, I have just finished The Lying Game by Sara Shepard, the author of the Pretty Little Liars series and really enjoyed it!! There’s a second one which I’m going to have to ask for too.

Well this picture is pretty interesting. It’s of my Ashley Greene poster, but I was fiddling with the settings so it made her look a bit ghostly. I like it though!!

This picture is also pretty unique! It’s of my orange lamp, but I fiddled with the settings (again, yes I know) so it focussed on my finger prints on the lends. Hehehe yes I don’t mean to put finger marks on the lends but it always just somehow….happens!

I loved my holidays…I loved relaxing, catching up with family, pretty much everything. Oh, except for one thing that made me so scared I cried out of fright and surprise. Yes, you read right. Here’s the story: I was sitting in the car with my family and everything was all normal and fine. We were driving around looking for a garage sale (which ended up being next weekend but we didn’t know that then!) when I just casually looked out the window and there was a giant, ugly, hairy, brown huntsman spider. OMG I screamed sooo loud! It freaked me out, but I opened my door and it quickly scuttled out. Yes I’m scared of spiders but it’s not a phobia thank goodness or else I would have died! It still freaks me out even now thinking about it…. :/

But ANYWAY…….I hope you enjoyed your insight into my holidays. I’ve got a pretty good timetable for next semester…but I think I’ve written enough for one post. ;)

Cheerio my friends,

By the time you're reading this, you're probably thinking "Oh my God how is there more???" but yes, there is more.

Once again, I am sitting in my school library, updating my blog, as I usually do. Right now, it feels as if my holidays never existed. I mean, even about halfway through my first Monday back at school it felt like I'd been back for a month.

By now, I think I've had all my new classes. I've got Music, which is really cool! I've got different teachers for all subjects except English and Indonesian. It's a nice change.

But there's one.bad.thing.

I've got the main teacher I hate for the whole rest of the year (I think.)

So far I have gone by okay, since I had her last year and know not to get on her bad side, yada yada yada. But I really hate it. I'd actually like the subject if she wasn't the one teaching it!!

I really cannot believe that it's Thursday afternoon already. Time has gone crazy fast! The first week of term is nearly over already which is crazy! =P

Well I'm going to go now, partly coz I dont know what else to say, partly coz I think this post is going to be absolutely HUGE when I post it with all the photos and stuff so...

I better go.

Write more soon,

EJ
