Well I know I havn't been very active in the last month, its been about a month and a half since I uploaded something, and wrote a journal. I was very busy with finishing school, final exams and such. I'll keep it brief or else it would be very long.

So firstly since the last journal about the art exhibition/exam a fair bithas happened. A week or so after that was muck up day, the last day of classes before final exams. All the year 12's went to Bendigo for a day of fun. We did a range of activities inculding indoor laser wars, rollerblading, and go-karting, and ate plenty of pizza. Go-karting was the best, but it was only 10 mins long, and a mate in my group had a bad kart that kept crashing so I think we spent half the time stopped because of that, but it was still awesome!

After that final exams started. First was chinese for 3 hours, the papers were ok, the essay topics were not very good, but had to make do with them. Maths followed, paper 1 was insanely hard, but paper was quite good. English was the usual ok, nothing too hard, though I had to rush the ending due to running out of time, which lefdt the final point not as good as it should have been. Biology was a real surprise, it was really easy, things that I studied and knew well came up a lot. And lastly economics was ok, nothing came up that I loved but at the same time nothing I didnt know, should be ok. All that is left is to wait for the results in early January.

After finishing my last economics paper 3 on the Thursday, that night was the graduation dinner, at crown casino (very nice, but VERY expensive, $125 per person). But the night was very nice, very nice feeling of being finished, and just fun being with friends, no longer stressed about school. It was great to see everyone dress formal, everyone looked great. I won the CAS award. For those that don't know the IB diploma, CAS (creativity, service, action) is a requirement of the diploma of a 150 hours, 50 of each creativity, action, service atcitivites, you could kinda call it community service. Anyways I won that award, which was cool. Unfortunately I didn't win the Visual Arts award, Asha won that (the person I used to really like, but then hated). I was a little disappointed, and have reasons why she might have won it over me, but I won't go there, and just leave it with her, coz she can draw quite well.
It was a nice night, full of so many photos, everyone wanted photos with just about everyone, even people I didn't know very well, came up for photos, but it was all good.
The night after grad went back to a hotel had a few drinks with some friends.
The next morning hang out with some friends, then me Arron, Asama and Sabrina went to the casino (my first time) I played blackjack, I turned $40 into $120, though I did have $175 at one point, but still was good.

One thing I noticed towards the end of the year is that everyone became a lot more friendly towards each other. I got to know a few new people, which is kinda sad coz I won't see many of thos people again due to different uni's and not really knowing them in a short period of time. It would have been nice if people were like this a lot earlier in the year. Instead of all the nonsense and fighting that went on throughout year 11 and 12.

Since graduation its just been holidays, in the first week I went go-karting again with friends, but this time at a much better place, and for longer 30 mins, but this cost $75, so there went most of my money, but was worth it. It was great fun.
Besides that just seeing friends and such, and gotten back into drawing, more drawing is to come, which is good. I'm currently finishing a portrait of a friend I will see this weekend, its looking good.

I need to find a job but havn't had any luck with the ones I have applied for so far... I need a job so I have money so I can go out a have fun with friends.

Oh in the long absense, I realised I have been on dA for 3 years now, and hit 8,000 pageviews, so a big thank you to all those that watch/view my work.

Anyways thats about all, just have lots of holidays to think about things, while I wait for my results in January. Just keep practicing art, just incase I decide to do Visual arts with something at uni...
