New Term New beginnings

Here I am again, back where I started

Returning back to the usual meet and greet after the holidays as the feeling of nostalgia fills the air. Catching up with friends again... even though we met up in the holidays... each of us look back on the prelim year that has gone by and look forward to the next year and a bit that awaits us. 

The bell rings and we attend the usual line up as a lazy cloud hovering over to the stairs in front of the amphitheater due to a bad case of holiday sickness called CBF. Homeroom as usual is just a bunch of noise as you hear people talking about how frightening getting back our prelims will be and even worse how prepared/unprepared we all are for the HSC (for me the latter) while also finding out that retreat was next week and not week 3 like we had all thought.. since we don't listen to the announcements at line up....  notice the little detail of line up..

Looking forward to the retreat it is hyped up to be one the MEMORABLE, LIFE CHANGING experience of the year which is supposed to be a fun, exciting yet reflective experience as we leave our habitats and retreat into the wilderness to meditate at the Uniting Church Conference Centre at Elenora Height full of leeches and ticks (N2s: repellent) . Apart from the address, which i had to ask a friend for, i have absolutely no idea whats going to happen there cept about some ceremony called the Liturgy of Light where the teachers "shrink" ( as in see a shrink) us into facing reality making the whole year group cry as they get to watch. Thanks guys (Y) hope you enjoy it. 

Apart from the frantic  worrying about we must now prepare for the year ahead which includes: textbooks, folders, usual station stuff + wait for it guys... 3-4 hours of study per night .. F*ck..as well as my timetable which i really need to stop putting off. 

All in all the first week of term was just a bludge with no work being done cept receiving prelims which i could keep typing but now cbf so is a subject for another post.. if i feel like it as the next to weeks seem to be just the same as we wait for the HSC which is right around the corner
