An End and a Beginning

Well, my friends, you have seen many a post, and if you've been following my blog, you will notice that it's the 23rd of January, and there hasn't been a post since the 5th. Of December. And it has slowly come to my attention that this blog is slowly slipping away. So, it is to my regret that I cannot keep up with the month's worth of posts. And so, readers, I must say goodbye to the type of blog in which I post about every single day. Instead, I am going to begin to post whenever I feel like it, and about whatever I want.

Rest assured I am not taking this decision lightly. I have been thinking about this for a while, ever since I realised there was a month of posting to do and there wasn't much chance of it getting done. My blog is thus undergoing a transition of such. With this in mind, I need to do two things. One: stop talking like this (I am beginning to sound very stuck-up and formal here. Hooray, brackets!). Two: recap everything that has happened in the last month, in one post. So, of course, it won't be as detailed as every post. Though, it will be very long. Then, I'll talk about precisely which way the blog is going, and comment replies.

Bloody hell, there is a lot to write here. So, I'll try to do one or two paragraphs for every day that I want to blog about, because some days I did nothing and I forgot about more. (oh, boy, this will be long. Really long.), although there may be problems with some days. That's understandable, though. Bear with me here, for this is a post that may seemingly go on forever. It'll go up to the end of 2009 in detail, because I took notes. Not much afterwards, though.

*Monday, 7 December: The last week of school started today, and Period 1 was Ag, where we dug up potatoes by the kilo. There were two bags full. That's Hurlstone for you. Most of the day wasn't too exciting, although at Lunch I had a rant similar to the one I did about 2012. After school, we had EJ's formal to go to, which brought up memories of my Year 6 formal. Happy days, my friends, happy days.
*Tuesday, 8 December: Period 1 was Science, and it was funny. We proved much of science wrong (though some experiments may have been set up wrong.). We tried to make the greenhouse effect, and the carbon dioxide bottle got cooler; and Pitt tried to show us how you can't get a bottle to break by throwing it against a wall. I broke it on the first try. Next was Geography, we watched a little of 'The Gods Must Be Crazy.' Period 3 was listening to a funny speech by Will Ferrell, and next was Period 4, where we watched the Muppets on Youtube with Rawson. That was funny. Lunch was puns galore, Period 5 was playing CounterStrike (I sucked), and Period 6 was Commerce, which was playing DotA. I was alright; Ian owned.
*Wednesday, 9 December: You will not believe what happened today, readers. I should have been doing the 'All My Own Work' seminar in Periods 1 and 2. However, while walking into school, I was stopped outside the gate by Coombes, who said that there was a NASA thing going on in the same two periods, and it may be possible that I get into it. Skip to me running around the school to see Norris, and I managed to get into it and do the 'All My Own Work' with 10I (Victor, Eric and Kevin's class.). The NASA thing was very good, and we learnt much. Ebony was jealous. Then, later it was the seminar itself, which was rather simplistic. Put it this way: there was a find-a-word in it. And more than one crossword. I rest my case. Then it was Sport, which was rollerboards, and later iPods. Later, it was hapkido, which was not much special.
*Thursday, 10 December: This was the big day: the final Year 10 Assembly, and the formal. Dear god, I wish I could make a full-length post of this. But that would cause a lot of problems, so I'll try to compress as much as I can. Before school, there was a bit of a fiasco, as I thought I had to wear a winter uniform, instead of a summer uniform. Well, long story short, Mum rushed home, and I changed with barely minutes to go before the ceremony. Which was quite an awesome one. Why? Because I got 5 out of 6 Band 6s in the School Certificate, and 100% in Maths. Only person in the grade to get that. If that doesn't qualify as a right to brag, I seriously don't know what does. Anyway. Soon, we went to the formal, and I was crowned Biggest Nerd of the grade. With the 100% I got (I may mention that a lot), they were great awards. There was a lot of dancing and talking, up until 11.
*Monday, 21 December: (Yeah, I skipped a lot. Holidays blend together.) The main thing that happened was that we went over to Shay's, where we exchanged pressies. I got mangles (man bangles. They don't look too bad.) and books.
*Friday, 25 December: Happy Boxing Eve, everybody! We exchanged presents at around 7:30, and soon went to Aunty Karen's, where it was mostly reading and escaping from their crazy-ass dog. Towards the end of the day, we went to Paul's.
*From Sunday, 27 December to Monday, 4 December: This was the big family vacation, to a town called Port Fairy, which is about 3/4 of the way from Melbourne to the border of Victoria and South Australia. We went with Shay's family, and some of her friends and extended family. There was scuba diving, reading, and Sims 3 on Shay's laptop. Also, New Year's. Happy New Decade, people.
*Saturday, 9 January: Shay and I went shopping for clothes, for my birthday. It was in line with my resolution: To care about my appearance more. We spent $150.
*Sunday, 10 January: I turn 15! Yes, indeed, and I get many a book. There was also 'Family Guy,' and going out to dinner. Banana cake, as well. Mmm, banana cake.

I have not much else to add. I mean, two weeks, a lot blends together. That's a problem. So, I'll just pretty much sign off here. I shall blog when the mood takes me. Otherwise, I won't. Farewell, previous blog mode. It's been fun.

For a new future,
