Hey guys! So it's been what.. Seven months since I last posted? Whoops.. My bad. I'm not going to rant on and on about how I'm sorry. I was busy and wanted to pass school and that's about it. Now I would like to make a few things clear before I get into this; I won't be using nicknames for my friends anymore. When I started out I wanted to let them have their privacy and what not, but the nicknames I gave for each of them aren't all as relevant as they were eleven months ago. So the nicknames are gone. If you have any questions about who is who feel free to ask. Secondly I would like to state that I am still friends with Courtney (Cookie) and Zac (Leprechaun). However over the next few months I won't be posting as much about them as they are starting apprenticeships and I'm going to be travelling. That's not to say they won't be included; because they will. But they'll be few and far between. I'll also not be posting everyday. I still can't quite remember why I made that my plan for this year? I'm a commitment phobe and a procrastinator so that wasn't one of my better ideas.. I'll be posting when I want and when I can. I'll be posting more frequently on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook with quick short updates in the near future when I get more memory on my phone.
Okay, now onto the catch up? I suppose it's only right, right?
Okay, so I don't know if I got around to telling you guys but I've had a sore back for a large percentage of the year I was kinda hush hush about it in the beginning. I'm the sort of person that doesn't like to worry those closest to me - this also explains why I don't like getting mad or crying around people - so it wasn't until about three months after the pain started that I told my mum. We went to the doctors and he just thought that I had normal back pain and it would go away soon. After another month of pain mum decided I had sciatic pain, she decided to tell my doctor I had sciatic pain. I did not have sciatic pain. Though what actually happened is very similar to sciatic pain and all related to the nerves. I had a prolapsed disc in my lower spine, usually this would naturally go away after a few weeks. Mine clearly has not, I've been on a high dosage of medication since we found out and it's confirmed that in the future at some point I'll need surgery to fuse my disc to my spine. So that sounds like fun. But for now, because I don't have a spare six weeks for bed rest (I'll get onto that in a moment) I'm going to have a needle inserted into my spine in three days to (hopefully) give me either permanent or temporary relief from the pain. So that's the update health wise.
Now, before I get onto my end of year plans and my plans for next year I want to share some very exciting news! I'm now officially a high school graduate! How amazing and crazy is that? I don't want anyone to think that I passed with flying colours. I may have passed school but I'm positive that over my two years at my school (it's a year eleven and twelve school, so there's only two years) and eight classes that I've failed four of them. And if not failed then only just passed. But just because I didn't necessarily pass those classes doesn't mean that I haven't learnt a lot from them or that I didn't enjoy them. I did. All of the classes I've taken I've enjoyed immensely. Well, almost all. English Literature (Studies) was a horror and I wouldn't suggest that class to anyone ever. But yeah, so I had my last day on Friday and on Tuesday I have my one and only exam - which I'm actually partially confidant about- and then I won't be going into school for anything other than collecting my artwork (which I will post a picture of) and returning my school laptop. It actually hasn't quite kicked in yet that I'm done. I took photos and videos and will be compiling them together into one and I'll post it on YouTube. But I'll share a little video of myself and my friends singing and just having fun on our last day and some pictures I took once I've finished writing this segment. But yeah, I'm not so much going to miss the education and school itself but more the teachers, fun I had, and my friends. I commented on one of my own statuses saying something which pretty much sums up what I'm trying to say.
"I can't help but think that I just wasted fourteen years of my life doing something extremely unpleasant but that I've been conditioned to associate with friends therefore tricked into thinking that I'll miss it."

And now for a video!
(I'll make a full length video of all the songs we did and all my photos but for now here's a classic for our group!)
Also, just an extra bonus. Have our school mascot , Douglas, smoking a joint and getting arrested for dancing at assembly.
So sorry for that slight spam, but those pics are some of my favorites and I just had to share them. Okay, now onto my plans for the coming few months.
So for starters I should probably say that it's my eighteenth birthday on the nineteenth of this month. So that's exciting. I won't be having a huge party or even drinking. It's just gonna be my close friends coming over for a tummy roast dinner then playing video games into the early hours of the morning. With lots of cake. But as a little birthday present, Mother Dearest has booked a tiny holiday to HONOLULU FOR TEN DAYS! I can't even describe how blessed I am, and it gets better! Anyway, after our ten days in Honolulu we'll be travelling back to Australia and heading up to Queensland for my 'brothers' graduation from YWAM DTS. We'll stay until the twenty second and have a Christmas party on Boxing day. BUT IT GETS BETTER!
May next year Mother Dearest and myself and heading off on a huge European holiday featuring a Mediterranean cruise and a trip to the Sherlock Museum! We'll also be travelling to Israel if we can to meet with the cousins. I honestly feel so blessed to be given this opportunity to travel before having to get my life in working order. I'll be blogging when I can and posting photos and updates as our internet comes and goes and I honestly cannot wait to begin this adventure!
So there's an update, as I said before I will post when I want and if that means I post seven times in one day, then so be it.
I hope all you 2014 graduates the best for the future and I'm so thankful to have gone to such an amazing school.
I almost forgot, here's my artwork.
It doesn't look like much, I'll post individual photos later if I feel like it.
But it's taken me over sixteen weeks to get these seven pieces.
Zac is my model. Lucky guy huh?
Live long and prosper, godspeed.
