My obsession

I have a problem, a large and delicious problem. I am Obsessed with 'Peter's Frosty Fruits'

These are amazing from getting ready for summer, they are basically a fruit ice block. I tried to look up what the company would describe them as and all I get is  'The perfect refreshment on a hot summers day! Frosty Fruits are the classic alternative to ice cream...And they taste absolutely delicious!' 
Now why that state is 100% true it isn't very helpful.

Now I love these on a hot summers day out or even 11:30pm when raining outside while writing a blog post, they are so much more refreshing then ice cream and don't leave you with that sick feeling of dairy on a hot day (not a nice feeling), and they taste AMAZING.  What resparked my love for these and my new found obsession was when I was out one day with mum and dad I tried the new 'Lemon Lime and Bitters' flavour! I am a pretty big fan of Lemon Lime and Bitters, but saying that I am very judgmental and love finding a product that has all the flavour  at the right level, and that was one of them. The next time I was able to get to the shops to get my hands on them I did, but sadly there was no boxes of Lemon Lime and Bitters :( :(
Ofcourse I couldn't leave the store with no 'Frosty Fruits' so brought Watermelon and Pineapple, and they did not disappoint. Even bite (or lick, however you eat your ice block) takes you to a tropical holiday.
Another reason why they taste so good unlike other ice blocks that are similar they don't  taste overly sugary or overly icy which are the two worst things in ice blocks.

Since I have no way of curing they obsession (in which I don't really want to curing anyways) I guess I will be eating these all summer long.

Till Next time :) xx

Ps. I had 2 yesterday and 2 today... #iregretnothing

DONE!!! SUCK THAT TRIALS !!!

Woop Woop As of 12pm today I was free of exams (well until the HSC)

I feel so relieved, but now I am scared about get my result :O
Some exams I feel that I did so bad the teachers will be laughing whilst marking it, but others like my food tech today I hope they are pleasantly surprised.

What I have learnt from this:
1. I really should eat before an exam, especially 3 hour exams.
2. Slow down!! I have heaps of time don't rush it
3. PLAN an answer, because halfway through writing a kiss-ass answer I forget what I am writing and make myself get in a bad mood... not good
4. I actually know most of my stuff, so NOT DOUBT YOURSELF!!
5. Breath the HSC is not the Be all and end all, if there is a job I am meant to do I will get there.

Now I only have about 35 days left of school :O WHAT?
and 84 days till my last HSC exam!!

After that I have Olly Murs Concert, My dance concert, schoolies and ofcourse my EIGHTEENTH birthday!!!!! Woop woop!!!

So hopefully this will be my last study related post for a while! :P

Till next time. xx

3/4 down!!

Last week in completed 3 of my written trials and my drama performance trial!!!

Let talk about my drama trial!!
Well that day was so stressful, for HSC drama we need a group performance as well as an individual project, in which you can choose from a number of things, such as costume/set design, directors notes, blah blah blah, but everyone in my class (all 4 of us) choose performance.

I'm not going to bore you with the details of our rehearsing or lack of, just about my performance. I was so nervous and of course had to be the first one to perform. Our audience consisted of our 2 teachers who were the markers, our families, a small number of friends, and a couple of students from the year below.
After out group I was up, I felt like I did alright, I've done better run throughs, but it wasn't awful. I could tell straight away what I needed to work on. At the end of the night once all the performances are done the audience gave us some feed back. This was the scariest part of the night. The feedback wasn't bad though just have to slow down and articulate all my words, I also need to work on who are my audience, and why am I telling them my story. That is the challenge for me because I have no idea why I would be telling them. But I know what to work on and have just over 3 weeks to fix it.
Just thought I'd let you all know on the day of my HSC performance I have to be at school at 6 fricken 15 in the morning!! It will be a LONG day!!!

Next up I have hospitality tomorrow and PDHPE on Wednesday, I have pretty much accepted defeat for both of these but will of course try my hardest. Need some serious luck here.

2 day 6 to go..

ENGLISH  DONE!!!
Yay *insert little happy dance*

Today was better than yesterdays exams, for one essay in actually wrote so much I surprised myself, now I'm just hoping it answered the question. The other two, mhmm, not so much.

One of the bloody questions though, it had nothing to do with what we learnt in class about the text, in this case a movie. We learnt about camera angels, lighting and costume blah blah blah. And the question was how was the main guy a 'witness'? because that is the name of the movie, but BUT the movie isn't about the main guy being a witness. I can safety say I screwed that 20marks up real bad!!

On the bright side though I gave myself the rest of the day of, give some exercise and watched some TV, before my day 'off' tomorrow, which will be filled with study. Next up I have religion, and Drama performance on Thursday. Wish me luck. :)

Oh the joys of being a year 12 student...

And by joys I mean I want to curl into a little ball and sleep for the next couple of months (waking up only for one direction concert and formal) 

At the moment I am currently in the 2 weeks (and one day) of trials, which is basically a dress rehearsal of the HSC. Now for those reading (hopefully) that aren't from NSW and don't know what the HSC is... besides feeling like hell they are : The Higher School Certificate is a locally, nationally and internationally recognised qualification for students who successfully complete secondary education in NSW. (That is off some Education site so it is the shit) 
So It takes place over both year 11 and 12, but mostly only 12 counts. And every assignment and assessment adds up to it, and if you fail you fail life!! Not really, thats the way they scare us into trying but it does affect our life as it sees if we are able to get into uni. Now enough with the technical side of things and back to me curling up in  ball. 

Today I had the first of 2 english papers, and lets just say that was the worst english exam I have even done. My related text didn't relate to the question, well thats what I believed at the time, I just freaked during the comprehension part, and I had already written my creative writing but ofcourse I couldn't change it enough to fit the stimulus material. So I teared up, I didn't actually cry, mostly because I really don't want to make a scene. That's for Thursday :P I have my drama prac. 

The way we have to sit in exams.... 
So there are a couple of problems about the way we sit in the exam, firstly I hate having my back towards a back, especially when i'm trying to work, and hate having lots of people behind me. Well that is exactly the way we have to sit and it freaks me out. And the boy infront of me... basically I want to kill him. So I did like him, for a while so I didn't mind him sitting in front of my besides the fact I'd be to busy looking at him then on the paper, and this annoyed me then too but just more now since you know I don't fancy him anymore. He moves, so fricken much. I understand we all move around a little to get the blood pumping and get rid of cramps. But this guy... all the time so so much. And when he leans back he is basically touching my table!!!! One day I might accidentally stab him with a pen :P I only have to put up with it in 3 subjects but one of them is my worst subject, so i'll already be stressed. 
Well I think this post is about look enough now, wish me luck.

Till next time

Parent, teacher Student Fight night!!

So today was my school parent, teacher night (well parent,teacher, student night), and I personally hate this night. The teachers keep in all this stuff about you, which they won't tell you in class, and just let it all out in front of your parents.
As I may have said before I'm in year 12 at the moment, which mean this night are 'important', well so they say. But It is always the same thing and I always end up in tears, but I'm pretty sure tonight was the worst.

Lets go through each teacher, now I can't remember alot of what was said but here is the gist of what I can  remember...

English.. Well English has never been my best subject and I mean never. My spelling always horrible, punctuation never right, and i hate reading. But this interview was actually pretty good, I think It has to do alot with the teacher I have, I think he may actually be the best english teacher I've had. He went on about how I was a great student, how I always take part in class discussions and have a lot of good ideas. But never to be confident in my work and ability, and also that I have to write more. Which is why I really want to write more blog posts.

Food tech/hospitality.. ( just pointing out they aren't the same subject for the most part they are really different but I just have the same teacher so I'm putting them together)
Now for those who read that and was like "oh, what easy bludge subjects" I want to punch you in the face, because trust me they aren't. Both have a lot of content and lots of work.  I actually do really well in both these subjects and would actually say that Food Tech is my best subject :)
But the problem? I'm lazy and I don't do homework. And boy did I get an earful about that. She (my teacher) went on about how I can be a Band 6 student (the highest band you can get in the HSC) if I just tried harder and believed in myself. The problem is, if I lived my life the way this teacher would want me to, I would not to anything but school, study, homework, and of course sleeping and eating. She has even said to read my notes while waiting for the bus in the morning. Umm, Miss, I'm still half a sleep by then. And friends or any social connection NO!! She even wants me to work through Lunch time. She is an amazing and passionate teacher but stresses me out and doesn't see that putting a ton of pressure on me wont make me work more, unfortunately it actually just makes me shut down. Not good I know.
And it is safe to say that I did start to cry a little :/  

Religion..
Because I go to a catholic school it is compulsory to do religion, now don't get all "eww, religion, brainwash" or whatever random hate against religion you have. We don't even learn about our religion we learn about other religions and just the facts, history and traditions. Surprisingly, I actually do alright at Religion and have improved a lot, this teacher once again was great. Complements, but also telling what I need to hear, such as how I have to still work that little bit harder, and I'd do great. Once again the issue of my writing skill and ability came up, but in a nice way with a lot of support behind it. Over all it was a good meeting and that teacher is awesome.

Drama.. (once again not as bludge as you'd think)
Oh where to begin... So my feelings for drama are always mixed, they can go up and down in one lesson. I could hate being there at the start of the lesson and never want to leave by the end. And the same with my teachers, I'd love one and hate the other, then It will swap around, or I'll love them both, or even hate them both. In drama I love prac, i'm able to just sort of let go, but theory annoys me, I actually hate it. And Essay writing makes me want to hit my head repeatedly against a brick wall!! In my last exam.. lets just say it was the worst exam of my life and the mark can not be mentioned.
(sorry, quick note: I actually don't know what to write for this I have so many mixed feeling and at the moment sadness and anger are taking over the most so I can't really think that clear, so really sorry if I'm not making much sense)
My teachers are always on my back about being more confident, not just in this class but always, but my drama teachers seem to make the biggest deal out of my lack of confidence when it comes to writing, and I almost always end up in tears... And that is what happened tonight. One thing that annoys me, yet I also enjoy, is the life lesson my end up learning in drama instead of actual drama work, which was what was going on tonight.
Ohkays, I'm sorry I actually don't even know what to write for drama, I just have to leave it here.

PDHPE:
My teacher was away so I didn't have to speak to her, so yeah.

Afterward I had a bit of a cry *cough* a lot *cough* and went to hug one of my friends. Her Mum is actually a teacher at my school, and is amazing. She just calmed me down, and told me she was always there if I needed to talk to someone at school. Which actually made me feel a lot better.

So what I am taking from this...
1. I NEED to do my homework
2. I have to practice my writing skills... ( I think writing a blog counts)
3. Remember I only have 167 days till my last exam
4. I can do this!! Believe in myself!!

Till next time xx

PS If you actually read all this you are amazing, :D

:(

Even though I don't think anybody is actually reading this, I still like writing my blog.
but because holidays are over, and I am back to school I don't really have that much time. :(

But that is what I really want to change, i want to commit myself to writing and posting one blog post a week.  I don't even know what to write about.

I have decided to take this self-mission, which means that even if I can't think of anything interesting to write I will think of something, sit down and write... 

Till next time

Flashmob

First, what is a flashmob?
flash mob  is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression.

And that is what my Saturday consisted of! Yes, that's right I was a part of a flashmob.At my Dance school (http://studiodacademy.com.au/ ) our old dance teacher/principal for 13years left :(, which was horrible but we are blessed with a New principle and teacher who has had  experience with  Flashmobs so decided that we shall do one.

Over the past couple of month 30 dedicated dancers worked on flashmob in their weekly dance classes, each week working that little bit more harder to create the perfect performance.

On Wednesday 17th of April all 30 dancers ranging from the ages of 7-23 spend the day rehearsing and setting for, what would be the first studio D flashmob. From 10am-3pm that all was filled with setting postions, working with props and going over our dance over and over again. Although we had a lot of fun our muscles definitely felt the hard work we had be putting in. I went straight home and into a relaxing bath.

The Flashmob was scheduled for 12pm Saturday 20th April  but because we are in Australia and that means ofcourse that is the day the weather changes and it rains and I mean rains a lot, so at about 7am we all get a text message saying that  due to the wet weather the flashmob has been postponed. That was the most heart breaking news I had heard all school holidays. A couple of days later we all receive a message announcing  the flashmob is ready to roll on saturday!! And yes, that was the best news I had heard all holidays.

So this morning I rolled out off bed, had my morning coffee, breakfast of eggs and toast, and than if was time to get ready. I wore my beautiful but rather unpractical pair of sequence shorts, purple crop top and of course my studio shirt. And then I was off into  Pitt Street Mall, (well with a quick detour back home because I forgot my Pom poms).
Once we all met up at the Domain it was a quick rehearsal time, then down to the mall we went. Being a performance something had to go wrong, and well it didn't really go wrong just not to plan, there was another group wanting to do a performance at the same time, so we waited....

After waiting around for a good 20mins, trying not to draw attention to ourselves it was show time. I can't even remember how the performance went, as soon as I heard that music my mind turned off and my body just knew what to do. I think we all went alright, not the best but it was the first time we had done anything like this. During the break between performances one dancers had a bit of an accident and we all saw what she eat for breakfast, yep we had ourselves some a chuck up. But no worries just a little restaging and some newspaper and we were good to go.
The second time was alot better, we all knew what to expect and any problems from the first performance were all sorted out, I think Studio D did a great job and I am proud to be apart of that! :)

Till next time.

Bath Time

So today I had 5 hours of dancing and it nearly killed me. It was fun and felt pretty fit after but my muscles were so sore afterwards. Ouch!
Went I got home, lying down unable to move I thought it’d be nice to have a bath to relax all my muscles after a hard day.

To start will I began by running a bath, not to hot, not to cold, just right. While that is going on (because it takes a while) I boil the kettle and make a STRONG cup of chamomile tea, I normally use two tea bags. This cup of tea is not for drinking, but feel free to make one while you are at it, this cup is to be later poured into the bath to help relax. Now once the bath is almost as full as you want it, it’s time to pour in the bubble bath, some people don’t like bubble bath but to me it’s like my little protection when I’m lying in the bath. Don’t freak out if you don’t have any ‘actual bubble bath’ you don’t really need it, tonight I didn’t have any so as my bath was still filling up I pumped a couple of squirts of my Anti-stress body wash and it bubbled right up. Your cup of chamomile tea should be really strong right now so pour it straight into the bath, and take a second to just smell the beautiful aroma of the chamomile inviting you into the beautiful bath. Another thing in which I love to put in my baths especially when I need my body to just relax after a hard day is Epsom salts. Bath Bombs or bath fizzers are also great things to use so shop around and find a one that works well for you, I believe you can buy ones for different reason, such as for sore muscles, for relaxing, for soft skin and so on.
I have read recently but haven’t yet got to try, that to make a relaxing bath you add rose water and coconut milk; this sound so good and I can’t wait to try it next time I have a relaxing pamper night.

I love candles so much, hence the reason I love bring them out on my pamper nights, you don’t need expensive ones, cheap candles do just as good of a job. Tonight I had 4 candles going with no light on and this illuminated the room enough for me to read my book in the bath, but adjust this number to suit you. If using scented try not to use multiple candles with different scents as this may cause a rather unpleasant aroma and even cause a headache and that’s not really what we what. Try changing up the scents depending on the time of year, during summer use beautiful natural fragrance, such as strawberry, coconut or a beautiful citrus candle. During winter experiment with warm, hearty, cosy fragrances like cinnamon, or vanilla or even a mint. Choose your Aroma for the night or even just plain candles and place them in a safe place; somewhere they aren’t going to fall and definitely not where they will set anything a light. Although if they do end up falling into the bath, as long as they don’t fall straight onto you they probably won’t cause any problems just try and avoid it from happening.

Once you bath in also finish running and your candles are set it is time to grab a few supplies.
A large glass of water, this is good just too well you know drink but if you are anything like me this glass of water might stop you from passing out if it gets really hot in the bathroom (which it probably will). If you start feeling hot and bit light headed or dizzy just take a couple of sips and you should be fine.
A book or a magazine would also be a good idea to take in with you, I suggest not a book you have borrowed from a library or a friend just in case anything happens and the book wants to go for a little swim. Some people do like to bring read on their iPads or kindles if so I suggest reading over the bath. At the moment I have a book that I have to read for English and thought what a better time then while relaxing in the bath (I only read about 10 pages, but better than nothing).

I Promise you it is almost time to actually get into the bath, just a couple more things to do.
First, if you are a girl (or a boy I don’t judge) you should really wash all the day’s make-up off first, this will help skin get a complete clean as the steam for the bath will open up the pores and the sweat will clean deep with the skin. Personally I wash my face with my daily face wash first to get all the make-up off and then once over with my exfoliating wash.
Second, I am totally one for locking the door when I go in the bathroom for pretty much any reason but when having a bath I always keep it unlocked. This is just a safety thing; although baths are amazing and relaxing they can be quite high risk. Just simply tell the people you live with you are having a bath and not to come in unless something bad is happening *knock on wood*.
Thirdly, just be careful if you start feeling sick and faint it may be due to the heat make sure you cool off by standing or sitting under some cold running water.

Now you are ready for your bath.

Ps. One more help full hint, if you can never lie Comfortable try a waterproof pillow. You can buy this pillow around but if you don’t have time or money, or just want an easier way here is a tip……
Wrap one of your every pillows up in plastic bags, place the pillow into a bag and tie it up and then place that into a another one (just to be sure you can do it again). And there you go.

PPS.
There was more I wanted to write but thought I was rambling on a little,
so yeah.

Blanket Fort

What I should be doing: Homework
What I am actually doing: Looking at pictures of blanket fort, and planning how to make an awesome one.

Since it is the last week of school, for term 1 (well 2 for us year 12 students) I have almost 0 motivation to do any school work. So, instead of doing homework I started thinking about blanket forts, and how I really really badly want to make one...

Why Blanket forts are awesome: 
-They are cosy. Made from blankets and filled my pillow, once you are in you don't want to get out!!!
- It's like having your own little space. Yes, I know your room is your own little space but this is a new place that is filled with only what you choose. No need for the other crap that fill up you room
- Good to share. Although it is extremely cosy and your own little place it is perfect to share, with a good friend or even a lover. *wink*

Things to do with in your blanket fort:
Now the list is actually endless. You can let your imagination run wild of things to do in here.
But here are so ideas.
-Build the fort around a TV and have a marathon of your favourite movies or TV shows. (this may also be done on a laptop if TV can not be used as part of construction.)
- Grab a cup of your favourite warm beverage and sit in the fort reading a good book. Or a not so god book your choice really.
- Sit with your friend and play truth or dare.
- Sit on tumblr or blogger. (blogging is bed in blankets)

- I guess you could do homework in there. If you have to do it you might as well do it in an awesome place...
-Sleep. Filling with pillows and blankets it is a perfect place to have a little shut eye time.  
The ideas are endless.

So on my to do list of the holidays, building a blanket fort is definitely on the top of my list. 


Ps. These photos aren't mine.

What is it all about??

I know this is sad writing this because no one will read this.. but hey, maybe one day.

At the moment I am really trying to figure out what this blog is going to be about. Will it be a beauty blog? A cooking blog? I wish it was a travel blog. But what I believe will be good is if it just my blog.
By saying that I mean, it will be a little bit of everything. A little beauty, a little cooking, some DIY, some reviews on things, and one day travel.

I am really excited about doing this, making something. Fingers cross I stick to it.
xx

Blog time.

So, today I decided to start a blog...
I'm really not quite sure what that means. I just knew I really wanted to start because they look like a lot of fun and something I could hopefully do well. Knowing full well it will be a lot of hard work to make this blog something other people would like to read, I am here.

So lets go.
