How I did it
How to finish this gosh-darned motherlickin' short story for extension 1 for crying out loud, you jerk face
It took me
2 days
It made me
accepting and loving

How I did it: Back circa May, I panicked and freaked out and cried at my teachers and got two letters notifying me that if I didn't finish it I would flunk 2.5 years of HSC studies.So I got my boyfriend to help me out. It was meant to be a technique of forcing myself to get SOMETHING done (I just needed to make an attempt) really really quickly out of guilt for taking up his time. We spent about.. six (?) hours over two days, and it actually turned out… Read how I did it…

How to write a script
It took me
10 months
It made me
disgruntled

How I did it: I wrote about my passion for Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley as modern feminist icons and thought about how this could translate to "my" world.I read several novels, plays, and like fifteen movies about apocalypses, and analysed tropes, archetypes, plot points, and dramatic techniques which could and couldn't translate to the stage.I thought about I brainstormed pleasant locations for the 'pocalypse, and Boyfriend finally suggested a h… Read how I did it…

How to complete My English Extension II Major Work: Critical Response
It took me
297 days
It made me
wow! really?

How I did it: I watched a bunch of 'teenpix', analysed their moral messages, and whipped up a quick thirty-page thesis (including medium-sized pictures). You know, the usual.It was so scary to sign off my work and hand over my massive logbook - it weighed about as much as my fat Jack Russell.I was worried that the pictures didn't go through when I emailed the actual essay, but they were just delayed - phew! Then my teacher rang up to tell me she was ho… Read how I did it…

give up caffeine completely (read all 20 entries…)
..Now? 1 week ago

It’s been nearly three weeks on two teabags.
Shall I go down to one?
But I’m sad. And tired, and about to quit smoking again (so I will have less energy).
Oh well, I suppose there’s a chance I’ll sleep better.
Also, it’s getting quite hot in Australia and tea makes me want to barf.
Planning a ‘last Diet Coke ever’ on New Year’s Eve (and a haircut!) so I can test how long I can go.
If I’m all good in the hood by my birthday (March 17th) then.. then it’s all good in the hood! :)

Finish the HSC (read all 5 entries…)
Exams 1 week ago

Over.

Still have to bring in a library book so I can sign out properly. How anti-climactic (but I want to bring a gift for a teacher anyway).
At least those lost $53049 others are no longer in my name.

Presentation night mid-December. I don’t want to go because I’ll trip over when I’m climbing up to the stage!
