I'm so cool, I'm the last person in school

No kidding - my brother and I aren't getting picked up by the rentals for another hour, and we must be the last students still at school. Most people left last night (as we could leave at 5pm yesterday), and there were only 2 other girls staying last night in my boarding house (both of whom have left already.) In this house, it's just me and the cleaners, because a camp is coming in to stay in our rooms.

My formal is tonight, which I'm really excited about - getting dressed up, going to my friend's before party for pizza, drinks, photos and socialising (only my second party ever!), catching a limo to the formal, and then, the party of all parties where we're going to get it on! In a manner of speaking. I'm not planning on drinking anything (alcoholic), but no doubt I will have hilarious stories to tell about other people (and I will be able to remember them - bonus!)

Tomorrow morning, on the other hand, I have to be at Melb. Uni at 7.30 for registration for an Oxford Revision Course which will go for 2.5 days. Yes, I really am a nerd - I signed up for this voluntarily (although I'm only doing one course - for maths - whereas some others I know are doing 2!) Aye aye aye! Another reason why I'm not drinking - I don't want to be hungover and have to get up early.

When I eventually get home on Monday, I have my whole holidays planned for revision, based on my IB coordinator's 12 hours a day schedule; however, I have revised it to factor in sleep ins (4), my friend's grad dinner (1), the grand final, because I wouldn't miss cheering the Cats to victory for anything (1), and SAT IIs (2). Plus university applications (due in by Sept. 25). It's going to be a jam packed holiday few weeks of study, revision and practise exams, with a small dose of sleeping and other activities on the side. Taking this into account means that I probably won't be blogging [as] regularly...In the mean time, you might like to check out my friend's blog; known as Miss SM on this blog, she's in yr 12 IB as well; she updates more frequently and articulates the pressures of finishing and leaving school more clearly than I do. She's a nerd too.

Later,
