Plan For The Afternoon

I have jumped in bed.
Made myself a hot Milo.
got myself a packet of Soothers for my throat (the new ones with vitamin C are really good)
Chilling with a hot water bottle.
writing this post( maybe one more i dunno yet).
vote for my favourite 10 songs of all-time at the Triple J website(i have decided).
finish Twilight ( for the 9th time, no exaggerations).
Watch the scenes in Pride and Prejudice at the first ball in Meryton, the Netherfield Ball, all the Kent scenes (I will watch Mr Darcy's declined proposal several times),the last scene where Lizzy accepts and then finally the U.S alternative ending ( Mr Darcy and Lizzy are having there fist night as a couple together looking over Pemberly)- several times I'll watch it.
Read the 6th and 7th Harry Potter. (Skipping a few of the chapters i don't like...i know those books of by heart. I've read both at least 10 times).
Watch Baz Lurhman's Romeo and Juliet (the "Where art thou Romeo?" and the scene where Romeo and Juliet Kill themselves. Oh and also the
“These violet delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder.Which, as they kiss, consume." line -it gives me shivers :D)
I shall then make some scones with jam and cream.
I found a recipe for a triple choc tart that I'll also make.
have tea depending on the time.
watch Mansfeild Park.
Bedtime (Pony Club tomorrow)i hope i won't be too sick to ride!!!

Gripe

I am sick of American computers telling me that favourite and colour don't have a U !!
stupid American spelling throws me every time i write coz i get a red underline under all these words and i cant work out how they are possibly spelled wrong!
argh!

Sick Days

I think "chuckin a sickie" is part of Australian culture, a tradition almost.
I hate them.
Don't get me wrong i love days of but i think chuckin a sickie is just a stupid idea.
you feel real cool, thinking you fooled mum,dad, teacher ect. but then what?
your trapped at home trying to keep up a believable facade off feeling sick.
I did'nt chuck a sickie today, i am genuinely sick and it really really sucks!
not just the being sick part. I mean the rest of my family are going out to tea tonight with a big group of our family friends, i think 5 or 6 families re going. I cant(i might give them the plague or swine flu, whatever iv got coz i feels crappola!)
its really crap being sick and not being able to do things.
that is why i think chuckin a sicky is over-rated it ALWAYS backfires. something good happens and you wished you hadn't pretended to be sick coz then you miss out.
also you start becoming the boy who cried wolf and no-one believes you if you are genuinely really sick anymore.
my advice is don't get sick :P and don't chuck sickies-they're not that great.

Bella (who incidentally is writing coz she can talk! the flu has zapped away her favourite pastime:D)

The Day

Lazy Afternoons

I had a really enjoyable afternoon.I hopped of the bus in town to find that Auskick was happening so i went and helped out ( was doing well until asked to demo an bounce....shamed in front of the little preppies :D never live it down).
I then got a lift home from a family friend.I set about making tea (chicken stir-fry, i couldn't be bothered trying anything more gourmet tonight)and just pottered along i was really tired, there was no way i was going for a ride!
Then me and me little brother nagged my big brother ( who has come down from a week because he doesn't start Uni exams till next week and doesn't have any lectures) to play Mario kart with us n the Nintendo. I'm not really a computer game person but i had the funnest afternoon. it was so nice to just relax.
plus mum was really happy to come home and find tea made as she had been a t a very long meeting (:.

Exams

it's that time of the year and i getting pretty stressed to be honest :D
I had two french exams today; reading and listening.
i haven't got my reading results back but my listening was... O.K.
I got 69% which, for me, isn't great. i generally get high 90'sin most tests for other subjects.
But i have to look at it objectively, for French that is actually a really great result. it was better than i expected because i found the listening one extremely difficult.
My writing exam which i did on Friday was really good I'm not totally sure on the percentage score nut it was high 80's and by far the best writing score I've gotten this year for French.
My speaking exam is on Friday and I'm a tad worried but I'll just have to make a big pot of peppermint tea that morning to calm myself:D.
apart from that a reasonably cruisey day!

And Victory Would Belong To Moi!

Yay!!!
Hi Five!!(a virtual one)

Victory is mine!
I have succeeded in my mission of the Cardboard Boxes!!!!!
(previously mentioned in my Cardboard Boxes Post)

I came up with a solution to burning thousands of cardboard boxes. I suggested the CALM (Conservation and Land Management) kids that were going to burn the boxes, flat pack them and then mum would bring in the trailer and stock crate then take them to the bug recycling plant in S.A. Now not only was my proposal much more sensible and environmentally friendly than burning them but it was ten times as easy too.

I was really proud of my efforts and know that my arguing with the Assistant Principal, the year 11 and 12 coordinator, my year level coordinator, maths and science teachers was not in vain!

Hoorah!

I also pointed out that the school would even make money out of it as you are paid to recycle in S.A!
Smart, no?

I am ECSTATIC!

Words

I'm a pretty wordy person, or at least i reckon so.I try to expand my vocabulary and utilize words that have a better meaning to what i am trying to say. So it bugs me when people make up words, its really funny to here some.

The other day i was sitting down with my mates at lunch and one girl goes " I really hate in clas how your not allowed to conversate with others because you have to do your work"...'Coversate' how'd she come up with that? and i mean good on her for not being boring and just saying talk but its not i word and so i told her (not to embarrass her or make myself sound really smart, just that next time she can get it right and someone whom she isn't friends with won't pick it up and make her even more embarrassed than i would.)and she said to me "No its definitely a word" and i said "no, Kat it isn't trust me.It's either you converse with someone or have a conversation with them. NOT conversate" and she would not believe me! and she still says it all the time and i makes me cringe :P.

But in saying that i would like to know some people can make up words and suddenly they are real words like 'ranga' which somehow made it into the Oxford Dictionary (and really ranga is just an abbreviation of orangutan)and other words that are said but never become an 'official' word?
suggestions?
