Sevens weekends and last days

Listen to this, this or this. (All the same band, deal with it?)

Edit: Just checked my last post because I wasn't sure when I last updated, and I realised I'd left ya'll hanging on my uni offer. Got the offer but had home fee status rejected! Annoying, but that's my motivation!

SEVENS WEEKEND
Me and Sophie! (Who i met last year at the sevens)

Quick recap because not sure if my non-existent readers know what the 7s are: Rugby 7s, annual event, massive event, tickets are an insane market, dress up in costumes, everyone gets drunk, no one watches rugby, stretches friday to sunday.

I sold my saturday though and gave myself a break.
So this was... two weekends ago or something. I was just too lazy to update.

No photos from friday because friday was pretty shitty. We lost half the people we were with, met a few new ones (mostly year 12s from my school i'd already known by sight.) and the night after was boring as hell. Therefore, sold my saturday and was considering selling my sunday.

Rating for friday: C-

Rating for sunday: A

As you can see, I am glad I went! Met up with Esme and Sophie, arrived just past twelve and promptly got tipsy very quickly.

I am aware that so many of my blogs talk about drinking and going out and I must sound like an awful alchy. Swear to god i'm the most boring innocent person ever, I only update after I do something so...

Anyway, tipsy me is me minus all the bitterness and sarcasm (so verging on, "friendly," even,) - a fact loads of people commented on the next day when they expressed surprise at how happily I appeared to greet them when i'm usually bloody miserable.

Christine's friend Emily (from canada who was traveling!) Christine, me (cool don't look at the camera or anything,) and David.

Oh yeah, I did the cat face thing. I did it on both friday and sunday, because I am (1) lazy and it (2) got good feedback and everyone said (3) it was adorable but (4) people kept meowing at me which was just not cool.

With Dylan and Patti (who I met there.) jksagfhsafsa I was like HI I'M LAURA, and she went, Oh, Laura Grant! Obviously ~tumblr famous now~ although I'm not sure how these people find me?

View of stadium! Pretty full.
New Zealand beat England to win by the way. Not that I paid much attention.

Don't know half these people but just goes to show hahah...

Too lazy to rearrange the pictures but here are the beautiful fireworks! I actually love fireworks so much ooh favourite things ever.

In canada we went to watch these fireworks when we were on gibson's, and we'd been waiting for like an hour and me and Hannah were complaining and then they started and I forgot how mad I was :') I used to always watch them from my balcony when I lived in kowloon, or sometimes outside, but there's a difference between standing in the most crowded-ass place ever with cameras and news reporters everywhere and lying on the grass just watching.

This was when Esme was waiting for Aubin... who decided not to sneak in this time apparently HAHA. Tickets are usually really hard to come by until the day itself.

Tori was a proud giraffe! (Other costumes included: spongebobs, disney characters, thomas the tank engines, ronald mcdonald, animals, and there are always really creative ones. I SAW A SWAN QUEEN FROM BLACK SWAN and it maybe made my day.


I actually do remember all of sunday (although the drinks and food are ridiculously expensive, so I mostly cutely had bits of other people's until I was relatively pleasant.) I watched maybe...30 minutes of games altogether which is a bit pathetic, and instead spent most of the time just wandering around. After Friday, i was less inclined to going specifically WITH PEOPLE, and instead just drifted, continuously going between the slope or the seats... I'm sure it was annoying as hell with me wandering like a sad little ghost but it was fun enough for me!

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL
Anyway, I have just had my last day of lessons (tomorrow is "The End" where we watch each other give insufferable performances and listen to teachers talk about how this is the end.) People are already getting nostalgic and upset (Bless Izzy, she was crying yesterday :')) I don't know why but I don't feel sad at all: I've been ready to leave since year 12 and I'm finally leaving and i'm so excited.

I'm actually getting worried uni will suck, since I'm hyping myself up for it so much... but from what I've seen, IF I GET IN, it will be absolutely amazing. I'm so scared I won't get in because I actually need this so much. That thought is the only one sustaining me to be honest ashfgsa HENCE WHY I'M ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT UNI HERE, OOPS.

I made myself self-appointed organiser of pranks this year and we planned out quite a lot (despite loads of bitter haters,) but our head of year pretty much snapped at me regarding the pranks yesterday and left me bitter and grouchy. After I emailed everyone saying pretty much "FUCK IT," I changed my mind and we are just going to do what we can! Won't post here but will post an update after...

Was meant to go out all night tonight (well, I'd technically never asked my parents...) but now i'm pretty sick (although I still went to school today...) so looks like that's out of the question. And it's 9.54 already heh... so instead we're meeting for breakfast at 5.30am (not a typo,) and going to school early! Momma made chocolate rice krispies for our school lunch tomorrow (yes I have already had one.) so hopefully it won't be a sucky day, especially as we've sorted out our skit finally (very lame but may be funny...depends...)

(I plan to maybe get tipsy at breakfast, heh.)

Fast times

These are the awkward times.
This is the period of transition and the moment that strikes when you're not sure (1) where you're going (2) what you're doing (3) what you're thinking and (4) how you feel.

Not only is it a phase of physical uprooting, this may be the time you start to figure yourself out and change to suit yourself.

If high school is supposedly the worst time of your life, uni should be the best. High school was shit so let's hope the statement holds.
