Sandra and I, Sept holidays.
I've been meaning to put this pic up for ages - it was such an amazing day. Sandra makes me incredibly happy - she's one of the few people who honest-to-God "get" me, as cliché as that sounds. We had hot chocolates, scoured DFO for sales, caught public transport, discussed our lives and our futures and guys and friends and schools [all the important things]. And generally mocked each other. We came to the conclusion that Sandra epic squared failed for acting like a tool while she eats, and that I'm a major nerd because I was studying in the MC food court. Please. I just got there early and didn't feel like going to the State Library due to some random ass irrational fear. Regardless, Sandra is one of the most insane, most beautiful people I've ever met and I thank God every day for bringing her into my life. I love you honey.
God Bless.
lovelove, Jess xxxx

Top reasons why Jess cannot wait to finish year 12
- No more studying.
- No more IB.
- No more freaking chemistry.
- Actually being allowed to condemn Arthur Miller, say out loud that Tennessee Williams does not want us to love Blanche DuBois and complain about how incredibly annoying Nora Helmer actually is.
- Two words: gender studies.
- Going into the State Library every day and slaving away at my manuscript. I will be published come university.
- Making new friends, and forgetting the mendacity.
- No more numbers determining our lives.
- Holidays. Holidays. Holidays.
- Full time stalking of Josh Pyke. Maybe I can convince him to write the score to my play. That would be cool. Unlikely, but cool.
- No more listening to Peterson's certified unrelated to history history rants. Oh my gosh - who am I going to bag out next year?
- Moving out and living on my own.
- Actually learning how to cook.
- SLEEPING. I cannot emphasise this enough.
- Practising keyboard and guitar, everyday.
- Working out what the hell I'm going to do with my life.
- No structure - living for the moment, living in freedom!
- Supernatural, Gossip Girl...not that I ever stopped that for year twelve. But I won't feel guilty about it now, will I?
- Dedicating myself to my one true love - asserting my Asian-ness.
- The opportunity to get as far away from all of this as possible.
- Stargazing.
- Actually doing something to raise awareness of youth depression and mental illness.
- Finding more disturbing parallels between my life and Gossip Girl. Yeah, I'm pathetic.
- Clubbing.
- Getting my license.
- NO MORE PRESSURE AND EXPECTATIONS.
Top things Jess will miss about year 12
- The common room.
- Stalin.
- Physics. Oh, wow - I am a nerd.
- That general stress buzz that always exists before a test/exam/extended essay.
- Scaring people with innuendo.
- Random, stupid convos. "But, what if that spider you didn't kill reproduces and one of its babies becomes radioactive and bites your future child? What if?" "So, uh, how did the spider become radioactive?"
- Bagging out Peterson.
- A reason to be a bitch.
- Pulling late nights - and then not being awake the next day.
- Annoying Asians with my Asian-ness.
- Perusing IB websites - especially 'You know you're in IB when...' - all under the guise of 'studying'
- French lessons. What would I do without those pointless waste of times?
