Pencilcase!

I made my own pencilcase. It's the third time I've made one.
I LOVE MAKING PENCILCASES!

Here is the link to the instructable I made for this pencilcase.

Hola! *random update including Dobby*

Bejeezles, I am neglecting this blog. I want to blog in dot-point form.

• Well, so far, the weather's been tres horrible because it's been very muggy and rainy for the past three days. Only today there seemed to be a bit of sunshine.

• Meh, what do I say here....

• I've been reading Pride & Prejudice a while now, for school. But prior to reading, I watched the movie (2005 version). The mother, Mrs. Bennett seems to remind me of I mothers. Desi means someone who is of Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi/maybe Sri Lankan descent. Anyways, Desi mothers on a genreal want their daughters to be married before the age of 25 (there are exceptions). Mrs. Bennett's matching making was just simply hilarious to me (although she did have good intentions)

• The floods in Queensland are receiving a lot of coverage (like, maybe 50%, yeah, I'm exaggeration, but it is a lot, especially on Channel Nine).

• The floods in Queensland are giving me thoughts about Judgement Day.

• My coursework for the final year of school is freaking me out fantastically. 

• I've got a giveaway on my book blog until 31/01/11, international and you don't need to be a follower of any blog *hello passerby!* Heyah iz da lynk

• I am listening to HP7. It's taken me six weeks to get upto the part where Harry, Ron and Hermione break into Gringgots.

• When I read HP& the first time (when it was released) I didn't cry/feel too sad about Dobby. Dunno WHAT I was reading (probably skimming through to get to the end, haha). But when I listened to it, I was sad and a wee bit teary.

As anyone can see, my life is quite event less and boring.  Here are two gifs in honour of Dobby (gifs are great, I just discovered what they're called). from what Dobby was, a house elf, to what Dobby is, a free house elf.

Update on previous week

Okay, since I only blogged a very, very twitter-worthy post, I'll now give a proper update:

Exmas. >_< ---> ^_^
They are now over. I had seven subject=7 exams. Humanities, English, Maths, Science, Bussiness Management, Religious Education and French. Now I await my results!

Driving. ^_^
I can drive now. Well, actually I'm an L-plate. BUT I CAN DRIVE! YAHOOOOOOOOOO!

Birthday. ^_^
Hehe, it was my birthday. And i got the bestest present ANYONE could ever give a fellow book lover. Their favourite book(actually, two from one series), signed by the author. Irregular Kiki' you sooo rock ;)

Foot. >_<
My left foot has gone funny. My second last toe has doubled in size. Gross, and very uncomfortable.

Rubik's Cube (happened about two weeks ago but worth mentioning).
I actually managed to complete the whole thing. I'll give a link to the YouTube video I used.

Now I must go. J'ai a busy life!

The Drover's Wife by Henry Lawson

Lawson, a man who created some of his finests works drunk(My teacher told me this-unbeleivable!).

One of the eight classic short stories covered part of our English syllabus, The Drover's Wife is one of my favourite. It might not have the drama of a contempoary YA Lit novel, but it is a piece which shows how strong Australian bush women were and are. The Drover's Wife, married to a drover (a job where you drove-or took, livestock from station to station, thus being away from home months at a time) has faced many challenges in her husband's absence. She's diverted a flood, fought a bushfire, keeps sundowners away and carried her dead child 19 miles to the nearest town. The Drover's Wife(as she is not referred to by name) might seem like a woman who shows minimal physical affection to her children, but she truly does care for them, in her own unique way.

Stories of female characters who display strength (both physical, but more mental and emotional) inspire me. No, I don't mean feminists, but women who care for the world they live in, be it her children, her family (Eveline by James Joyce) or even something as her land and livestock (Squeaker's Mate by Barbara Baynton).

Update on my week so far

Ugh. Both of my big toes are red and blistered. I cannot walk with the comfort a normal person can. I stick on band-aids and those special blister plasters, but my toes still hurt. >.<

The Swine Flu. Whooaaaa. It's EVERYWHERE (I mean on the news, not as in everyone's got it, God forbid).

I need to complete two Maths exercises, write up an oration, complete Religious Education questions by presenting the information graphically (haha, nobody could understand what to do, and as it was the last class of the week, the majority of us could not pay attention) and most like do some other time consuming homework which I can't remember right now.

Oh, and mid-year exams are coming up.

When you want something you can't get it, and when it's ok, you still can't get it. I'm not making any sense now, am I?

This is the most radical photoshop tutorial site I've seen. Far-out dude! Total Vintage, Pop and Retro stuff.

I had no internet.

And now I have no time.

My school thinks we are geniuses.

I am not.

I don't think I can cope.

But a chocolate fudge brownie will help.

I'll blog when it's the weekend. Then hopefully I might have time.

Finally, Circular Functions has been completed. For now. Eeeeeek!

P.S: Doesn't it feel like as if time is going by too fast? Well, I know WHY!
