WOAH! IM BACK! My Adventure in NZ...
5 min read
Yes thats right, finally back from New Zealand!
Actually i flew in last Sunday so this entry is just a tad late lol oh well.
I had an AMAZING time. Here's the low-down:
We arrived at the lodge at around one in the morning (NZ time) and got to sleep around two. We were woken up at 6 am to get read for a full day of skiing. Needless to say we were not happy campers. When we got to the mountain, the weather was sh!t. I mean it was terrible. It was snowing (which is cool but not ideal weather for skiing) and it was so foggy it looked like the skiers on top of the mountain were skiing on nothing, all you could see were these black silhouettes floating to the ground. At 9.30 (prob around ten coz we were late) our two hour skiing lesson began. By lunch time i could not feel my fingertips and toes, so it was a relief to sit in the cafeteria (which they call the 'caf' wtf?) for an hour and a half. They had a fireplace in there to which was awesome lol. After that, we had free time and spent the rest of the day trying not to fall on our asses! woo!
Day two: woken up at 6 AGAIN! not happy hmph
but that day was better weather wise. it was sunny and the layer of clouds had started to thin out. Now, at Mt. Hutt, they label the slopes by colours according to difficulty. There's the green slope which is for beginners, the blue slopes for intermediates and the black runs for the advanced skiers and snowboarders. Now, i had been going great on the magic carpet which is like a fifty metre baby slope lol so my mates and I thought why not, lets go for a green run. Wow. Thank god there was fresh snow coz the amount of times i stacked is not funny. I had this random instructor come up to me and tell me i shouldnt be there hahaha b!tch. ONe of our teachers even caught me stacking on film. literally i would ski about two metres then fall, get up (not very gracefully mind you)ski another two metres and fall. Needless to say i went home a little disheartened. BUT! We did get to go explore Methven which is the town we were staying in, its about an hour and a half out of Christchurch on the south Island. It was awesome, i loved mixing with the locals. All i heard the whole week was 'Bloody Aussies' haha. Being the hyperactive person i am i would say hello to the people that passed and one guy was like, 'Your aussie aren't you?' like it was an explanation or something lol good on him. Everytime i said 'mate' i would get laughed at or a head shake. it was pretty damn cool. I swear by the end of it i picked up i Kiwi accent lol
So on the third day after making a promise to myself by the end of the trip i would do the green slope without stacking, i once again took the chairlift with angie and tanya halfway up the mountain, thinking this aim would be achieved on day 5. How wrong i was. The three of us did the green slope until slowly our nmber of stacks decresed until finally we were speeding down and being daredevils! woo!
On day four, we were sore! Wow my butt was just... anyway lol we were sore. Good old angie did a blue run five times! woo! go angie!!!!!!! Me, i stuck to the green slope the whole trip.
Day five we were all so tired and sick we sat in the 'caf' (lol) all day. It was a good day nevertheless.
Day six we spent the day in christchurch. We kicked off the day with some good old jetboating and my fingers nearly fell off from the cold. We then travelled into the city and got to wonder around for about two hours. In NZ, MacDonald's hands ketchup out with the chips lol weird. We spent the day taking pics and mixing with the locals as well as some good old shopping. We then ended the day at the Antarctic centre.
The next morning we got up at... uhm... 2 i think dont quote me and flew from Christchurch to Brisbane and the from Brisbane to home. It took a few days to recover but so far that is the trip of my life. I can now ski and i have experienced another culture and country besides my own, despite the fact i only saw a small portion of NZ>
I'm thinking of submitting some of the nicer photos i took but there is not a single photo that does that place justice. Mt. Hutt is just stunning and you have to see it. Jazzie, Angiew and I had an absolute blast (love you girls) and i will always remember that Ski trip as my first overseas experience without mummy and daddy.
Anyway thats the update from me, saorry if i bored you
Peace out

MUSIC TRIBUTE - PART 1
25 min read
Music makes the world go round. Every culture on this planet uses msuic either for entertainment, emotive expression and even for religion and ceremonial pruposes. We dont realise how big a part of our lives musics actually is. Where would you be without music? There would be no catchy tunes on the radio to sing alon to when your driving. There would be no jumpy music to sing and dance to. No form of consolation on those days you feel like crap and just want to curl up with your ipod, mp3 or even your stereo blasting a sad or angsty song. So, here is a tribute, only part 1, to the amazing and endless force that sees us through our lives.

Hmph.
3 min read
Hmph.
I strongly dislike block exams.
Why?
Because they have this strange ability to make you stay up until eleven o'clock at night for a whole month.
I. AM. Not. EXAGGERATING!!!!
I am tired.
I am sore.
I am exhausted.
I AM SICK OF STUDYING!!
My brain hurts!!
So, today was the first day of block exams. Block exams involve a two and a half hour exam scheduled for three days of a particular week at the end of semester. You don't have to go to school unless you have an exam.
Some people got off luck with one or two exams, leaving them with an entire day off.
But not me
I had my Maths B exam today. (Pretty sure i passed).
I have a Biology exam tomorrow testing me on a whole six month's worth of content (I'm screwed). And after the Bio exam I have a Physics exam. Yay. I am excited.
Then, yes there is more, on Friday I have a chemistry exam as well as a massive drama essay due.
Did I mention on Tuesday I submitted a 1700 word essay examining three poems? Or that the week before I had to do a drama directorial task (which i got an A for YAY!!)
On top of that, i was hospitalised due to a kidney infection. LOL! My boss's kicked me out of work coz i half collapsed in pain. Tehehehe. That interrupted my study schedule a bit
Now, for some when block exam week is over that is the end of all assessment for the semester. But once again Holly does not get this privilege. I have two more exams next week.
But if there is one thing to look forward to it is the holidays. Two weeks of doing absolutelt sweet fuck all.
Btw, i am going to NZ with the school for the annual ski trip for eight days. AWESOME!! I am going with Angie
and Jazzie 
. Should be mega awesome!
Anyway thats enough bantering from me.
I hope this finds you all well.
Sahar!
