This is me, laid bare. Don't poke too hard.

I know, I said I'd write yesterday and I didn't. deal with it. Yesterday I learnt some new and surprising things. Did you know that Mrs Simões can actually be a nice person? You see, yesterday was the due date for the first draft of my Extended Essay, and I had nothing to hand in. First I got yelled at, and then my parents came in to meet. I was in the meeting too, ready for anything, when Mrs Simões started saying nice things... and how the school was going to help me... wierd. That was just about what took up most of my day... worrying about the Extended Essay. My request for a change of topic was aproved (I'm gonna write about Fight Club) and after school, I went to Linda's for tutoring. She's very good... I feel a lot more confidant about all the bullshit now. Also, I got another copy of the essay that is and was the main source for my Historical Investigation. So things is looking up... School in general: It's shit being back, but nothing has changed. It's wierd to think of myself as a year 13, but I guess it just takes getting used to. The year 12s look so small... it's wierd. We, as a class, were way cooler than all of them... Although I've only spent about 20 minutes in total in my tutor room, I like the people in there. Nice mix... no pinchas as far as I can tell. Yesterday we also had a meeting about IMUN and THIMUN. Of course, I'd love to go to both, perhaps even be Ambassador at THIMUN, but due to my shitty work habits, I'll probably just go to IMUN, which is still pretty cool. Eddie is most likely going to be my partner, which I know will be fun, because we did it last year. We were very popular... he still has the messages that people sent to us. hehe, that was a fun weekend. THIMUN would rock, but hey, may not happen. damn... You'll notice that I have, as yet, not started a sentence with 'anyway'... I'm so proud of myself. Today, pretty soon, I leave for Italy... yay. The school even said they wanted me to have a good time and not worry constantly about my work... weeee. I'm pretty sure Mr Smith must've had a word with Simões... because he likes me, and I really don't think she does. Well, I must be getting back to packing. Have fun without me, maybe I'll write when I get back. G ps, thanks aiko for the words of wisdom. I have no idea where I'll be in 5 years... but I'll bet this site is still up. I love your photos, keep 'em coming.
