Mood: *ouch* Down in the dumps.
Well, I’m back from New Zealand, which explains my depressive last post. Yes, my real home is in New Zealand with James. I’m never 100% happy when i’m home in Sydney: New Zealand just makes me happy. I feel so much more at ease over there - I’d probably move there even if James wasn’t part of the equation. It’s such a beautiful country.
I have exams in a week. I’ve barely done any study, and I’m starting to freak out. I’m mostly scared about my English exam, which is why i’m contemplating asking dad if I can get an English tutor. I know i’m not going to do well, but I really need to push myself harder in English, especially because I am only taking the minimum 10 units which means If I stuff up one exam, I could potentially screw up my final mark. My two English units need to be relatively high, because I don’t have anything to back them up. I’ll probably see how I will do in my half yearly examinations first before actually getting the tutor, but i’ll pitch the idea to Dad this afternoon so he can think about it.
Apart from English, I’m relatively calm about my examinations. Maths is generally an easy exam for me, and with Biology and IPT, for some reason, I can just retain the knowledge and regurgitate it out when I need to. Art is fairly simple, so long as I can remember my case studies. (80% of art examinations is about evaluating and breaking down artworks you’ve never seen before. the other 20% is being able to answer a question based on artists you’ve studied.)
After my exams, I’ll probably install a newer version of wordpress, because this version is fairly old. I like the idea of being able to cut my posts down with a “read the rest of this post” link and the other extra things that have been added. I wouldn’t use the default wordpress layout thing though - i’d customise it to fit sewwy.com’s layout, cause hot-damn, I can’t stand the many word-press layouts you see nowdays. This layout may be around for quite a while, though, because I probably won’t have time to create a new one :(
My trip to New Zealand was awesome, by the way. I got to spend lots of time with James just doing every day stuff. We didn’t do anything terribly exciting, but the time spent together was great. :) I got back yesterday morning, and as soon as I got back, I had to go to the dermatologist. $200 dollars later, I now have to use creams, ointments, moisturiser, and neutral pH based soaps and shampoos constantly. Yeah, I officially have eczema, which sucks. I have a particularly bad case of it too, and get it in random areas. At the moment, it’s incredibly bad (itchy, red, infected, etc) on my ankles and the back of my neck. I had to get special stuff for the stuff on my head. Blaaah :(
Off to do some study now. Double-blah.

You sound like me as far as school went- I was bad in English for years, math was a breeze, I hated science above all things but I could maintain a low A/high B in it simply by memorizing key things that would also trigger other information out of my brain.
Oh muh gaw- thanks to you I just looked up pictures of Eczema, because I have this recurring itchy dry area on my hip for years and for some reason the eczema commercials they play here never triggered my curiosity but your post did- horrible idea! Some of those pictures : ( I feel so bad for people. Mean, mean Sarah making me see that *sigh*
I’m glad you had fun, though. Doing regular stuff with the man you love is the best : P

I was born with eczema and when I was a baby they had to dress me in paper clothes in the hospital. I’ve been told this humiliating story several times at family parties! It’s something I’ve grown out of a bit but I’ve learnt what make up brands and beauty products suit me. I can’t buy anything perfumed in general and cats still make me a little bit itchy. I know it’s a pain but it will clear up! Hope you feel better soon and good luck with your exams.

again, i can relate. i have really shitty acne. *cry* insanely cute smilies!
it’s so weird when people say “maths” b/c i live in the U.S., and here was just say “math.” but since it’s really mathematics i guess our way is wrong xD
good luck on your english exams! (language and history are my weakpoints, because of my crappy writing. just got a C- on an english paper T__T)
