“maybe it’s wrong what i’m thinking - maybe i’m begging for...”

gladwrap
i know that you probably don’t think gladwrap would account for much entertainment. but you honestly haven’t lived until you’ve tried to gladwrap something and almost been caught. but that made up but a small portion of my last 13 hours. today/tonight, in no particular order, i: -went to marks. washed his car. returned school books. watched last nights heroes (which we missed...

a distorted reality is now a necessity to be free

John Donne: A Valediction Forbidding Mourning.
So, in the name of procrastination, i was thinking, and reading. And i was reading some other people’s tumbled thoughts, and some of the beautiful words they were adding to their tumblrs. And for some reason, my thoughts went to John Donne’s ‘A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning’. A beautiful poem in all, my favourite part are these two stanza’s: If they be two, they...

art exam in t-minus 2 hours. i just want to crawl under my bed covers. release some tears and emotions.  let the next couple of days fly by. and emerge, no longer a high school student. but rather, someone free, with nothing to hold her back. and go forth in the world. make my mark. and make memorable memories.

Today, setting up for the art show tomorrow night, made me realise just how much I can’t wait for this year to be over. As much as I have absolutely loved this year (best year of my life - although I am only 17 years young) - I have made a tonne of new friends, whom (as you can probably tell by my lower posts) make my life as enjoyable as I could never imagine. Again, as much as I have...

Maths exam over. I never, ever again have to say ‘i better get that maths homework done’, or ‘i really, really should be studying for my maths test’. Unless, of course, I do maths at uni. which probably won’t be happening. Language rich subjects, here I come! But the conclusion of my maths exam marks the halfway point of all of my exams. Visual arts on Tues and Chem...
