July 2, 2013

in case you don't find what you're looking for


Am I the only one who rummages through salads to find croutons?

Taro ice cream cake from Breadtop!


Happy July everyone! 


Half a year has officially past. Can you imagine in exactly half a year we'd be celebrating new years and welcoming 2014?! I feel like I'm still living in the past. I have a 2012 calendar on my wall (still) and sometimes I actually catch myself writing 2012 instead of 2013 in my notebook, haha...(Ok I hope I'm not the only one that does this..) 

July is gonna be a month filled with uni open days... and the start of a deadly term. Only a couple of days of school holidays left and I am nowhere near ready for term 3. I'm not sure about you guys from other states (or countries!), but in qld, term 3 is the most important (and stressful) term of our entire twelve years of schooling because the results are weighted most heavily in a way. It's almost a make-or-break situation - if you do badly it'd affect your result quite heavily even if you managed to do well in previous terms. Okay I may or may not be exaggerating a little but still. 

Anyway (getting back on topic), on Saturday, we had a little family gathering/bbq to celebrate my little sister's birthday. She turned twelve. Officially a teenager next year, hahaha. Now I feel old turning seventeen in 2.5 months. I'm just getting used to being sixteen. :(

On a side note, I really really need to stop going on tumblr. It's literally taking over my life atm and if I continue doing this next term, I can wave my OP goodbye. (OP is the ranking system we use in qld which is used for university entrance purposes)
