Places

I think i've recently found another "chill-out" spot for myself. Not too sure if anyone else does what i do which is accumulate a list of locations around the place that allow positive zen (what some people call it) and escape the daily grind (Gloria Jeans product placement), and above all, simply relax.

frostbitten

So the past few days i've been down and out with a cold - brought upon by largely unsanitary sharing of food rituals at school plus the sudden cold snap unleashed upon Sydney. Solitary confinement often makes you think (mainly because the headache's so bad that trying to do anything else is impossible) and so after watching The Adjustment Bureau, it really made me question the whole notion of self-determinism again. Man, i need to go out more.

The calm before the storm

In many ways the HSC is what people would call a void of life itself, a perpetual abyss where happiness and interest die alongside the sanity of anxiety and anticipation. I'd rather like to think of it as a storm, a crazed frenzy of last-minute cramming, and muddled schedules. In some ways you may end up somewhere amazing, or it could suddenly spit you out in god knows where - maybe even shitville or the urban renewal of "Great" Western Sydney. Oh anywhere but there.

what they don't tell you

Well what they don't you when it comes to English writing is that its probably half logical half illogical and half bullshit. The other day i was studying for the upcoming examinations which included English and we 'analysed' movies for 'practice', and of course we came up with several ideas that although laughable prove both the idiocy and brilliance of high school English.
