Someone give me a good slap across the face. I need a wake up call.

ACTUAL time left for first mock exams: 2 weeks

2 years worth of studies for 8 IGCSE subjects to cram in my brain in 2 weeks: DEFINITELY IMPOSSIBLE

First rainfall this season

I swear I’m going to drop whatever I’m doing, run downstairs, dance and run around barefoot on the street, in the pouring rain.

I can’t wait for winter.

Winter in Dubai is just loverly.

And I can’t wait for raaaaain.

Change

is so inevitable it’s almost annoying.

Moving schools suck. Moving schools suck even more when you’re on your senior year/grade 11. And that’s exactly what happened to me. So I spend half my life (8 years) at Westminster school, made amazing friendship and created truckloads of memories and finally, year 11 comes round and KABLOOEEYYDSFHZZMMZMZ, I move schools.

It’s heartbreaking. We’ve been planning year 11 since, what, grade 8? What about all our plans and ideas on the overrated prom and graduation day? Dammit.

I still can’t get my head around it. I’m going to miss EVERYTHING. From nap times with Charmagne and Johanna during Accounts & French class. To terrorizing Business and Economics teacher. To being the secondary girl’s building’s Hurricane Katrina. To randomly biting people and it being okay because I’m Hurrican Katrina and I bite. To laughing out loud with my friends for no particular reason at all.

Now I won’t be able to do that in my new school because a new kid biting people is just freaky, ain’t it.

And hlysht, don’t even get me started on my IGCSE subjects. I opted for all commerce subjects in my old school mainly because I HATE SCIENCE but now that Science is compulsory in my new school, I’m dead. I took Physics. And Geography. And History. So now I have 2 years worth of studies for Physics and Geography and History because I joined grade 11 and they started IGCSE in grade 10.

I can feel the pressure already. This is going to be one helluva tough year.
Change is inevitable. So we can’t avoid it. We get used to it.

(Sorryfortherant, I knew about this move since August but still haven’t had a good breakdown. I swear it’s bound to happen one day)

There is always

- a little truth behind every “just kidding”
- a little curiosity behind every “just wondering”
- a little knowledge behind every “I don’t know”
- a little emotion behind every “I don’t care”
- a little hesitation behind every “sure, why not”
- a little pain behind every “it’s okay”

Sleepover picspam

Nikki and G.J. slept over for 5 nights. :) Hella fun. We went webcam-crazy one night, took the laptop around the building (parking lot, lobby, elevator, you name it) and started taking crazy pictures.
We looks like hobos :| I look like a freaking boy wearing the shorts I wear for basketball practices and an over-sized shirt with a hole.
Ah well.

Oh yeah lameness!

I want it to rain so bad right now

I LOVE RAIN.

The rhythmic sound of rain against the windowpane, against the roof of our car. The feel of rain on my fingertips, my nose, running down my face. The smell of rain on concrete or earth alike. The best sleeps I have, I have when its raining and I’m indoors, under my blanket, the sound of raindrops as my lullabye. I love watching the raindrops chase each other on the windshield of our moving car. Once these raindrops reach the edge of the windshield, they are flicked away and lost forever in the wind.

Yes. I DEFINITELY LOVE RAIN

Too bad we’re in the middle of summer. Guh.

You need to have a little faith, Tibby. Not everyone you love is going to leave you.

I wish someone would say this to me and mean it.

I’ve had to say goodbye to three people I love this year and everytime I do, it kills me.
Everyone just leaves, don’t they.
