I woke up this morning not even realising that we were getting our reports today. All I was thinking about was how great it was having a double free first thing in the day. Man that was good. Good, like only having 9 units to worry about now.
Then on the train it hit me. I didn't need the report to tell me that I dropped ranks in every subject. That I totally dropped the ball and was pretty far from my target of >90 ATAR. But then I remembered all those cliche thoughts about how an HSC syllabus isn't a measure of intelligence and how an ATAR doesn't define a person, listened to Disruption by Spit Syndicate and rocked up to my interview and was pleasantly surprised to find that my estimate is 84.5-89. And the best thing - its just an estimate.
Spit Syndicate - Disruption
BUT MORE TO THE POINT - Rock park!
Fort Street's very own shining beacon of hope and relief in times of English periods. I feel as if that guy's changed as much as we have during the years. Before it was was just a simple Rock in a Park, now there's all this fancy 'pavement' and 'gates'. And I'm pretty sure that once upon a time there wasn't any play equipment at all. Then there was some pretty cool things like monkey bars and spinpods. Now there's just a bunch of other lame things that I won't even talk about cause they're lame.
Nobody goes there much anymore, that has to change. Me, Alex, Daisy, Jana and Jess went down today and I can only beg for you guys to follow suit. Here's a cool photo!
'08 til infinity
Okay, so I haven't done this before, but if you're digging this post give me some feedback, plaase! And while we're at it let's get some audience interaction in this bitch - tell me your fondest memory of Rock Park. Or if you're from another school, tell me about your school's most convenient jigging spot (kguy)
Don't leave me hanging and looking like a fool here, c'monnnn guysssssssssss.
guy here, haha i read your blog, don't worry, you have an audience- we go for maccas runs at our school, good fun. first time i went the cops were there having lunch so we turned around and headed back out of fear.at school we don't really have a jigging spot
ReplyDeletenice i'm imspired, i rekon i might make a few nostaqlgic posts. disruption is a great song too, been using 'about playing their games of high marks' to make me feel better after trials.
ReplyDeletethx for the comment!
ReplyDeletehaha - how far's the maccas from your school?
we've had similar situations of unwarranted freaking out and bolting back to school, its all so funny in hindsight.
oh and, how does girraween celebrate the end of year 12?
@count, disruption is the best for that haha.
keep our cameras out for these last weeks!
rock park is great despite only being there twice and constantly having to hear about all your fond, fond memories which i have no part in. thanks guyth, guess who LOL
ReplyDeletep.s. i love your blog (and you)
hahaha, dw those two times you were there have become part of our newer fond, fond memories
ReplyDeleteJust hanging out with good people who give a fuck. Seeing someone I'd known since I was seven but hadn't seen in a while. It's just a liberating place to be.
ReplyDeletemaccas is like a 5min drive... we've had some close calls, the deputy was standing right out the front when we were going to come back in so we drove past the school and came back later. we've done pizzas for the entire grade on many occasions because we have a guy that works there on every other day. the principal saw us with it and started asking questions so we just took our boxes and legged it
ReplyDeleteno doubt getting sloshed before yr10 christmas dance which resulted in alex having an 'asthma attack' in the toilets for about three hours
ReplyDelete@anonymous, don't be so anonymous please! but yeah i agree, definitely a liberating place
ReplyDelete@nelson, hahahaha that was definitely a highlight night, not sure if alex would agree though =P
@guy, sounds pretty sweet!
