daniel:
someone did a wee,
in a toilet with a key,
then they had some tea
back too... and i care, so that's all that matters. yay! :D am so glad to be home and able to move around by myself. i love canberra because that's where everyone (almost everyone. people in sydney too! and other places) is, and because i can do things by myself.
i need chocolate. or something. |

| 歌う |
歌う :: うたう :: to sing
back from church camp! actually, i've been back for ages, i just never got 'round to posting. whoops?
anyway, am gonna type up notes from camp in proper sentence form, so if you missed a sermon or whatever, i hope i've got most of what john annells said. excluding the bits where i tuned out, but i hope they didn't happen very often.
dot remembers things with pictures, i remember things with songs. more memories were added to songs i already knew (whether it be p&w time and the many practise sessions that went with it, or singing in the shower) and new songs were learnt which came with new memories. yay!
:: the heart of God (theme song) :: ah-la-la-la :: Lord, i lift your name on high :: open the eyes of my heart :: i will call upon the Lord :: what the world will never take :: i could sing of your love forever :: salvation is here :: come, now is the time to worship :: let us adore :: emmanuel :: hosanna :: for all you've done :: Christ the Lord is risen today :: low in the grave he lay (Christ arose) :: my redeemer lives :: God of wonders :: always :: you and me :: easter song (hear the bells ringing) :: tell the world :: carry me :: free :: others which i don't remember :: |

| finir |
finir :: to finish
finished! finished finished finished! *starts singing "finished" to the tune of "halle halle" which i don't even remember that well... hmmm...* :D
last of the english orals today. mannn... mine was so crap compared to everyone's! i can't even remember some people's because it's been so long since they started! and we went through so much (or at least, that's what i'm telling myself). mrs thompson said they were all high-class and uni level and we should be very proud (which i am, although, mine was probably the only crap one :). never mind. IT'S OVER!!! :D
it's unbelievable what an 11 week term can do to you. *glares some more at grammar guys* i can't believe that we just went along with them like some meek, submissive follower-on! what happened to strong grammar girl?! *rants some more*
NZ people left today! we had pe and some of the girls refused to take their tights off for some MORE belly-dancing. *sigh* ah well... if you guys get to check emails and what not there, hiiii!! hope you're having a good time! and give my love to everyone (tim, lulu, pri, tessa, lydia, hannah, sonia... everyone else... *shifts eyes shiftily*)
really excited. still singing "hear the bells" because pri and i were having a discussion today about it. reckon the improv was great for our first time.
also really excited about camp and easter. which are together. *does another happy dance* like really really excited. smiling point for this whole week. and what a week it's been. crazy crazy crazy. ah well. it's all over and i've caught up on my sleep (almost). which is good. i got crazy amounts of sleep this week. crazy crazy crazy.
maundy thursday service went well. grape juice bottle was broken (whoops), so pip and i got juice all over for a bit. but that's ok. cos we cleaned it up. good to have a service with SUIS. and also liked washing feet (ok, so it's more like washing foot, but that's not the point). i'm so gonna miss this... might come back next year, just cos.
kobi was attacking my soft spot and going "last day today. last day of term 1! last last day of term 1! how does that feel, von?!" then she bought me a peppermint twin frog. mmm... peppermint...
well... happy easter everyone! i'm gonna have a great 3 days sans internet! |

| être folle |
what scares me is - i now recognise which words are old english, and which ones are from french... scared now. i'll start analysing everything... and then the words won't ever leave me alone!!! arrrrggghhh!!!
don't mind my drama-queen-ism. it's a result of a crazy weekend. the other is that i think i'm getting sick - big sick, as in fever. but if i can hold it off until thursday, and then miraculously recover in a day to be fine for camp, i think i'll be fine.
well... back to english oral... i'll see you all when i resurface on thursday. not that i won't keep bobbing up for air. i should just shush now, shouldn't i? yes, von, yes you should. |

| sourire |
sourire :: to smile, grin
yay! weekend! looking forward to the no school-ness, but also dreading the fullness of it during the time when i least want it to be full. i want maximum time at home so that i have time to bludge as well. but plus point is i don't have much time so i know that i can't waste what time i do have.
nay and miffy (is it myfi? she spells it myfi... maybe it's just her trying to make it look different. ah well, whatever it is..) have come up with awesome idea for sleepover in hall. wonder if it's always warm? maybe mrs t will let us hide out in the music centre, or better still in the choir closet like certain people (avril, claire and ali logan to name a few) are prone to do. if i had an excuse, i'd camp out there during my frees too. or i might turn into tessa and practice my japanese oral in one of the practice rooms because "there's no where else to do it!".
today was ok. in fact today and yesterday have been relatively un-hectic. although pd5 pulling out of doing chapel (they had a good reason, mind you) and sending kiera and i into a semi state of frantic preparation during thursday lunchtime wasn't too nice. ah well... what can you do? part of the job (together with the crazy performances during assembly, freezing out at the gates in the morning and picking up rubbish when no one else will do it)... not complaining. i love my job. really.
anyway, convinced frau schiessl in german to let us play the chair game instead of doing "real work", except the catch is, we had to ask questions about the topic we're doing - "health and the environment". "ummm... who... has... been sick before?!" *everyone stands up and there's this frantic rush to get to a chair and not be left in the middle* dangerous, dangerous game that. i still remember claire from last year. the chair game (which is like traditional yr 11/12 german class game, by the way) was lethal with last year's yr 12's.
easter service on tuesday and mr harris hasn't sent me the readings yet. physics people will be away on archimedes day (there's a picture of rads and kita at archimedes day in september last year on the maths board). don't know how that was relevant, though. i'm sure it was. hmmm... wonder if midge does physics? in which case i'll need to find another yr 12 reader.
anyway, french oral or english oral won't write itself (although i wish it would) so probably should do a bit of prodding... in other words, i should go write my orals now so i don't act like a headless chook the night before and a zombie the night after.
mr mcguigan says that every time he sees me i'm always smiling... is that true? cos i don't see it... i just don't see it... (oh dear... quoting from movies. should probably get more sleep) |

| bestehen |
bestehen :: to be, exist (being instead of doing, anyone?)
what day is it - and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
i can't keep up and i can't back down
i've been losing so much time
'cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
i can't keep my eyes off of you
all of the things that i want to say just aren't coming out right
i'm tripping on words
you've got my head spinning
i don't know where to go from here
'cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
i can't keep my eyes off of you
there's something about you now
i can't quite figure out
everything she does is beautiful
everything she does is right
'cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
nothing to lose
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
i can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
nothing to prove
and it's you and me and all of the people
and I don't know why
i can't keep my eyes off of you
what day is it
and in what month
this clock never seemed so alive
-- you and me, lifehouse
if you know how relevant this song is, you shouldn't. you'd probably try to get me locked up too. :P kidding... kidding. not all relevance is in the depressing sense. sometimes in the confused sense. (as in - "i don't know what day it is and what month and how much school i have left to go" and "my tongue isn't working properly so everything i say comes out as gibberish")
i want it to be weekend all year. i love the whole yf family thing. i'm so sorry i rejected you, tim and cheuk. you can understand me wanting to go home in a car not a bus, right?
*sigh* hanging in for weekend. and will have completed most of my orals by then. if i don't, come and abuse me. (not physically, just come and yell. it's good for taking your frustration out) *sniffles* i think the cold's back... oh well...
back to maths. :D
bori: hey, skankface!
helena: *turns around*
von: *bursts into laughter*
bori: i love it how you respond when i call you by your name
helena: so sad, but so true...
(grammar girls, if you want scene, 'twas that little path coming from L block to G block. bori and i were walking to our lockers together after german and helena was walking in front of us) in case any one of you didn't get it, bori doesn't actually mean it when she calls helena (or anyone else) skankface... |

| to lunch |
to lunch :: to go out for lunch with yf after church (common usage: "are you going lunching?")
just lost half a post. annoyed. *hmph*
went lunching today. and then saw my family outside sizzle bento, so i scabbed a sushi off dot, but i paid for her mortal's prezzie until she finds money to pay me back. so it all evens out. and then finished nay's tuna crepe off. all very yummy. the boys all got rice, which i think is funny. i almost never get rice from the food court cos i don't trust how good it is. besides, i eat rice (almost) every night. a change is good. noodles is another matter.
ah well...
"so this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. learn to love appropriately. you need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. live a lover's life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of" ~philippians 1:9-10
backup singing for aunty juliana at church camp. which should be fun. too bad i lost the cd she gave me. which was in my tissue box. which inconsiderate people threw away. i would've just kept the box just for the pictures on the outside. they were pretty... winter without the cold because you can't feel the cold on a tissue box.
english and motivation aren't going well. neither are both my french and japanese orals. i'll get them done. sometime. i'm plodding. which can't be that good. but at least a bit of work's getting done. maybe i'll do crepes and different filling you can put in it for my jap oral. hmmm... or one of the recipes we did for german dinners last year. ah well... should be fun.
just sent an email to chapel captains from grammar and radford and SUIS and ICF captains (nay, i'm hoping i'm not making huge mistake... ah well. i'm used to screwing up)... hope to get a reply and not have to do everything with anneli again. in which case, i'm recruiting help.
ahhh welll.... back to work. yay for dictionaries. when my career's over, i think i might have a ceremonious burning of dictionaries (i'm kidding! kidding!).
making prayer book, so if you have any prayer points... |

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, in your name I will lift up my hands
