Well, since it's been a few weeks since I blogged, I'll just quickly go through what's happened lately
School Holidays!!!! Chilled at home. Watched movies, saw the premiere of Harry Potter 7 Part 2! and went to the snow.
First of all, HP was epic. Truly amazing, Claire and I went together, dressed as Death Eaters (we're cool like that), even going as fart as drawing dark marks on our left forearm, (which unfortunately, is still stuck on my arm because permanent marker doesn't come off my skin!). Heaps of people were dressed up, including my sisters friend as Voldemort, and everyone was all excited!
Sitting down in our seats and waiting for the movie to start we took loads of pictures of us in out hectic HP-style 3D glasses, pretty sure we pissed off the people behind us XD
Then, when it the ads came on their was the first excited screams and yells, going through all the trailers, one came on for Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes? Not sure what it's called, but Tom Felton, (Draco Malfoy) was in it, and another chorus of screams went up.
Cut to the actual movie, there was clapping and screaming when ever someone kissed/hooked up, tears shed when you saw your favourite chacters dead, and the clapping when something finally happened.
Snow!!
Went to the snowy mountains, Batlow, stayed at my holiday house, saw my cousin and his parents, and went tobogganing, no skiing this time :( but twas still fun, plenty of pictures and videos of us coming down the mountains :P
School :?
Started back on Tuesday, only been there for four days and already looking forward to the next holidays in September? October? November?, yeah not too sure when they are but yeah. Though, it's good to see all my friends again I didn't catch up with in the holidays, and it's not too bad, I enjoy my classes.
City!
So Today, I went to the city with Claire, for an information meeting for her for exchange! If she gets accepted, she'll be coming to America with me, not her first choice, which was Japan, but then will all the disasters over there her parents weren't too keen, Then It was England, but you have to have a British passport for that, then America : )
So caught the train into Circular Quay, at about 9:30ish, had a bite to eat then went to the place it was being held and waited for the organizers to come, meet another guy and a chick also applying, who both seemed fairly nice.
Having not gone to one when I applied, it was really interesting, and actually learnt stuff about my exchange year and host family placement that I wouldn't have known if I hadn't had gone.
Then, when it was done, walked to Martin Place with her and her parents, caught the train back and went home :) Pretty good day even though I woke up at 7 for it.

By the way, if my writing is really bad today and doesn't make sense it's because I wrote it about five minutes :)

Les Mis
This time last week, my school's production, Les Miserables, finished. After four nights of ushering people to their seats and having to deal with some rather opinionated people, it ended with a bang and all was fun.
After, all the cast and some of the crew stayed back to help take it all down, set, props and lighting. Me and two of my friends also helped the costume guy sort his stuff, which also included trying on hats and feather boa's, and fawning over gorgeous corsets.
At about midnight, we stopped and chilled for pizza, soft drink and cake. Think we ordered about 70 boxes and they were all gone with in about 45 minutes, along with the bottles of drink. Pretty sure that would have been the biggest order Eagle Boys has ever had :P
Then, the teacher who has organized it all, said that on the Tuesday, it could be Les Mis Shirt Day, where we could all wear our shirts to school with jeans or whatever to show we were involved. Having not got one, my friend and I went to go ask to get one. After he'd said yes and left us in the room to try on the sizes, we locked the door to the storeroom. Got our sizes and went to open the door.
But it wouldn't open. -_-
Only us could get stuck in a hall storeroom at one in the morning with only about twenty people still about. In between laughing so hard we cried, having one of the main guys walk past the single window singing at the top of his lungs and not being able to hear us, knocking on the door and yelling out for help, the deputy principle finally heard us and came over to us, saying 'It's alright girls, calm down, we'll get you out. Just gone to get the key'.
Ten minutes later, we were out, still cracking up whenever we looked at each other and laughing about how it could only ever be us to get stuck in a storeroom together.
Definitely not one of our brightest moments. :D
On a side note, Claire, now has a blog! http://www.ISwearImSane.blogspot.com

Not Much Going On...
Nothing is really happening at the moment, my school has its production next week which I'mm helping out with the props and stuff backstage. Kinda exciting, helping with a musical instead of just watching from the audience, be a nice change :)
Also getting my stitches out tomorrow! After two weeks of being on crutches and wearing ugg boots to school!
Haven't heard anything new about my trip but I've been talking to a few people who are also going, who seem pretty nice.
In other news, got a book I've been waiting for, trying to pace myself through it so it lasts longer than four hours : D
And that's about it.

Stitches :(
On Friday, also my birthday, I was smart enough to rip the webbing between my little toe and the one next to it. Resulting in a hell of a lot of blood, quite a bit of swelling and a toss of of going to casualty at one am in the morning!
If you so desire to experience the pain of this, and I really do suggest that you don't, just jump off your bed. Yeah. That's how smart I am. Jumped off my bed to come down stairs for my cake and hey, massive pain!!
So the next day, go to the doctors, hop about 100 metres and a few stairs, wait half an hour just to have the doctor tell you to go upstairs and get an x-ray. But, you have to take the stairs because there is no damned elevator!!!
It's great fun, being 15 and having to crawl up the stairs like a baby then hop again to the x-ray guy's room, get it done, have him tell you that the bone may or not be broken so I have to go back next week to get another x-ray.
Then you get to slide on your butt down the stairs back to the doctor who says, hey, maybe you broke a tendon under your toe instead, so you may want to go to hospital so they can cut your foot open further and tie it up! But before you go do that, go get an ultrasound done, then come back here so we can have a look!
Yeah. Great idea. Not.
You can then get your dad to drive you and your mum to the other side of the shopping centre only to have the ultrasound place tell you that they close at 12 and there's not enough time to do it. Then, call your local GP and ask if they can just have a look at it and see if any of that is actually necessary.
Wait for maybe, half an hour, then have her clean up all the blood with alcohol and day that, there's no tendons broken but your toe still might be.
Have her then tell your that you're gunna need stitches - four of them, between your toes. She'll hold up a needle and say "This'll hurt like hell for a moment" you can reply with "What?" and she'll stick it into your foot/toe. You then get to bite down on your lip to keep from cussing!
She leaves the room for ten minutes while the anesthetic kicks in and you can't feel your toe anymore! After chatting to your mum, the doctor comes back in and asks if you can still feel your toe, when you reply with yes, she'll give you another shot and then start to stitch you up, telling you how awkward of a place it is to stitch. While you get your mum to take photos of it on your phone!
You can leave after that, say your thanks and hop out to the car so you can go home, shower by washing yourself with a wet and soapy cloth a few times and get ready for your party that started at 1. If you're lucky, only one friend is there and you can have a laugh with her about it.
Later, when you're guests are there, hop everywhere! You'll have great muscles in your right thigh by the end of it!
And that's how you go about getting stitches the day after your birthday. :D

Just Things
Not much on the America topic today, just small things that's going on in my life at the moment :)
Most of the students leaving in September have gotten their host families and contacted them. I have another payment due on the 1st of June. My friends who are going on exchange with AFS, one who is going to America, had a camp this weekend. And I sent in some forms that were supposed to be received in April. Oops :S
Also, My friend from school is going to Rome with her exchange company, she was telling me about her host family, they seem pretty cool : D
Had my half yearly's the past two weeks and been pretty sick with a migraine those two weeks so I had to do them late. then Next Thursday i have an English incursion (where the people do the excursion at school) birthday on Friday, party on Saturday, then on the 8th (Wednesday?) Going to the Seymour Centre in the city for a History Excursion.
Then just chilled with my sister this weekend while my parents where in Brisbane.
That's pretty much it.

8 Months
It's exactly 8 months until I head off to America, not really long but it actually seems pretty short, and kinda scary now that I have an exact date, makes it seem more real.
I leave Australia on the 15th January 2012 and arrive back here 30th June 2012
In other news I attempted to do a Vlog yesterday, failed miserably to say the least. Though, there will probably be a really bad and short one up on either Tuesday night or Wednesday as my friend is forcing me to do one. -_-
That's all really, nothing much :)
Cya!

Tests :|
So This week, (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) I have NAPLAN, for those who have no clue what it is, let me explain, it stands for National Assessment Program – Literacy And Numeracy, consisting of
Reading
Writing
Language Conventions (spelling, grammar and punctuation)
Numeracy.
Every student inyears 3,5, 7 and 9 has to do it to basically see what of these we're good at aaaaaannnnnddd the ones we fail at.
Yesterday I had Writing and Language Conventions, today, Reading and tomorrow Numeracy :\ not really looking forward to it.
Then, this afternoon I had my science half-yearly, just what I wanted after my NAPLAN.
Anyway, that's about it for now
Cya :)
