I’m sitting here, at 9.15, watching Cold Case with my boyfriend, James, and my brother, Chris. I have the cramps from hell, I’m dead tired, and am sporting a particularly lovely cold. Hooray. My dermatitis is back with a vengance, my skin is horribly dry, and I’m breaking out in pimples eveeeryyywheere. Yep. You can tell that the season’s changed, because my body responds in really stupid ways. Well, I suppose I can’t blame my period on the change of season, but having an excuse makes me feel a little better. ;)

School has been really difficult at the moment. We’ve had a lot of work as of lately because we’re preparing for our next set of assessments and our trial exams next term. The good thing is that there’s only three to four weeks of term left until the holidays. The bad thing is that I’ll be spending most of the holidays studying. At least I get a break though: And James says that he’ll come and visit for a week too. I’m going to have to study hard. I want to do so well: For me, not for anybody else.

It’s freezing cold at the moment. I can’t wait until we get our year 12 jerseys, because we’ll get an additional layer to wear with our uniform. Unfortunately, the company are a bunch of lazy fucks, and haven’t delivered them yet. They were ordered over three months ago, and were supposed to have been delivered over a month ago. Well, still no jerseys, and needless to say, our entire grade is getting impatient. The frustrating thing is that we’ve had to pay for them, and we’ll hardly get any wear out of them during the school year now, considering we only have 15 school weeks until we leave. This isn’t necessarilly a bad thing, it’s just particularly disappointing that we don’t get one of the “year 12 presents” when we’re told we will. Ehh…

I’ve discovered (or rediscovered) a new love! Candles! James bought me a few scented candles to help with my stress when I do homework. They’re orange and lavendar, as well as a floral scent. They’re beautiful smelling, and I can’t wait to start using them. I think I’m going to buy some more candles in the future! They’re so calming and can create so many different moods. When I move to auckland I might decorate my studio based on the colours of the candles. :) hehe…

Well, I’m off to watch Close to Home now. Goodnight!
