So much homework, and so much procrastination...

This is how it starts - I remember the blog and post quite frequently. Then, a week or two, maybe even a month later, I forget about it completely.

The last semester of year 12 is when most people are dropping classes. Not me though. I got told to pick up an EXTRA class, to make my uni score better.

As a result, I have SO MUCH homework right now. Not as much as some people, but still a lot for me. I have a media oral presentation, two media assignments, one of which is due next week and will be replaced with another one, a maths in-class on Friday, a biology in-class the Friday after, an English creative, plus my big research biology project that I have to keep doing steps for.

Not to mention that I have two exams in 2 and a half weeks, and the 3 BIG TESTS that will scale my results for the past two years and decide the score that will get me into University next year. And that means I have to decide what I'm going to study by September 30. I'm just a little bit stressed.

And The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. What was Coleridge thinking? More importantly, what was my English teacher thinking when she made us study it? But then again, I think she enjoys tourturing us, so that was probably on her mind. But I'm not going to rant about my English teacher now, because it'll take too long, and I really need to get back to my homework.

Me: An Introduction

I've tried to write a blog before. I forgot about it though. That's not a particuarly new things though. I'm so determined to keep a diary or a blog or something similar, but I always end up forgetting it after a certain amount of time.

I don't think that I'm me when I write. I don't become a different person, but I can be more confident, and say (write?) things that I would say otherwise. The person that think I'll be in this blog is more like the person I'd like to be, rather than the person that I actually am.

I always wonder if people will read what I write online. I don't tend to do it a lot. In fact, I tend to take efforts to avoid people I actually know finding the things that I write. I think it's because I am such a different person in writing.

For example, if I was comfortable with my friends finding this, I would have used a completely different name, a nickname that they would use, instead of a  name that only I use - gremlingirl. Never, not once, have I referred to myself as a gremlin in front of my friends.I would have used my actual email, the one I made in year 7 (luckily, I made it something that I'm not embarrassed about 5 years later)

Hopefully I'll be able to remember to continue this blog. But I'm pretty sure that I said that at the beginning of the last blog I tried to start, the one that I can't even find now.
