Nothing to Do

Hey guys, today I realised it's been a while since I have written an entry so I though I'd try pull something together. About two weeks ago I started reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix because I have wanted to read it since it came out, but mum has been reading it since it came out. Now I've been trying to squeeze in a bit of reading everywhere can because now the movie is out on DVD I really want to see it. That has been the one thing bugging me this week. Also, lately I have been discovering my love for old music from the 60's and 70's. Now instead of downloading music that has recently been making the charts, I find myself downloading a lot of songs from artists such as the Bee Gees.

More About School

Today I have nothing much to write about so I'm gunna bore all of you and talk a bit more about school. Just yesterday I received a letter in the mail about a new program they're running at school next year which I have been recommended to participate in. In this program, I pretty much skip year ten and start doing three of my six senior subjects leaving me with three spare slots on my timetable. I decided to take this chance so I can do a traineeship in year eleven and twelve so I don't miss too much. This is the sort of stuff that shows I can be a bit nerdy sometimes.

Homework and Assignments

Lately I have been struggling with the amount of homework and assignments I've been receiving lately. Last term, I received an assignment for SOSE which, I think, counts for half of my marks for the semester. I went in a pair with a buddy of mine working on a country of our choice. We chose to do a joint presentation on Korea. Anyway I wont bore you anymore and cut to the chase. With only a few days left, I was left with the task of finishing them off at home. The night before the assignment was due, I was in a state of panic because I wasn't confident I had done it right. Well we presented our oral which was supposed to be 10 minutes. Ours was a little over at 20 minutes and yet to be completed.

My Protest

Another issue at school lately is between two of my best friends. These two girls are the nicest people, the kind of friends anyone would kill for. Well lately there has been a lot of tension between the two of them, which is very strange because they get along sooooooooo well. Recently I was told that the two of them had had a bit of an arguement (no, the double had wasn't a mistake). I don't know the full story yet, but it has been annoying me so much that I've decided to protest against them fighting. Now at lunch, I don't sit with either of them, unless it's unavoidable. This is going to continue untill they stop fighting and they're friends again, they way everyone likes it.

School Life

School lately has been a bit of a pain, but hey, whats new. At the start of each semester, two people are elected to collect the class role from the office, which is the worst part about school. Well, it just so happens that my best friend in my class and I were chosen to do this awful job. Well we have been doing it for a term now, and we had been talking about quitting and telling the teacher to chose someone else to do it. Well we did this, and of course we still have to do it, but we didn't go down without a fight. We argued so much to the point that my up herself teacher made my friend start crying. See, she had to do this all year last year, so I can only imagine how strongly she must feel about it. Anyway, next story. Another one of my best friends had her braces taken off yesterday. Normally everyone would have been over the moon about it, but the problem was I was the only one she told. I was over the moon about it, the only thing was that I had to be over the moon about when I was alone. But now shes got them off and she looks fantastic!!!

The Bordom Bug

In the last few weeks there has a thing going around which I like to call the bordom bug. Now, this bug is very similar to three-thirty-itis, although the symptoms aren't anywhere near as bad. The main difference is that the bordom bug can strike at any time, while your doing any activity. I think I have come down with this awful bug. Because I am a quiet person, I do a lot of talking over text or on msn. Well, lately I have been having conversations with people who I usually really enjoy talking to, but find myself complaining because I'm bored (yes, I winge a lot too). However, I think the bug has finally passed, although I do occasionly get a mild dose of it. In fact I think I'm suffering a bit now so I think I'll write a bit about about school life.

Change

Change is the the one thing a lot of people look forward to, but also what a lot people dread. I for one cannot decide which side I am on because there a lot of things I would like to change in my life, but also things I want to stay the same for ever. Like my friends, for example, they are the best bunch of people you will ever meet, but you come across the odd person who says "Why do you hang out with them. You can do so much better." I probably could if I wanted to, but this the one thing that should never change in my life. Hopefully your not one of those people who hates their life and wants to change everything about it, I think we should be greatful for what we have got and take advantage of every opportunity we get in life.

Back to School

Hey Guys,
Sorry I haven't written in a while, everything's been so full on since school started. I had a wonderful holiday in New Zealand and I hope your holidays were great as well. This is the first time I've been over seas and it's such a relief to be back. As always going back to to school was terrible, but also a relief because this is the longest I've ever been without my best friends. Friends have got to be the reason a lot of people go to school, I know thats what I think is the best thing about it. Now I think about it, there isn't much else I look forward to at school other than lunch time when I can sit down and have chat with my besties. I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this. But school is school and we all have to put up with it, no matter how much we want to avoid it.

End of Term

Today I finished the last of all my exams. Even though it was a cooking exam, therefore not so scary, I'm so glad the are over. As I look back and think about how well I have done, I realise that I only have tomorrow left of school. Since I have tennis coaching every Thursday arvo, I also realise this is my last chance to write another entry before next term as I am going to the Gold Coast on Friday and flying to New Zealand on Saturday. We'll be touring the south island for two weeks before returning home on the 6th October. I hope my holiday goes well, just as I hope yours does. Until then, over and out.

Three-Thirty-Itis

Lately I've been suffering from a conditon you might know as three-thirty-itis. It's horibble. Everyday, at about 3:30pm, I start to feel really tired and get distracted by even the smallest of things. This continues throughout the afternoon, until I get the opportunity to have a good meal. Even then it doesn't always go away. Today, for example, I got home from school, already suffering from the condition, had a bite to eat and got on msn. My condition was really noticeable today because I was asked numerous times by my friend Kirstie if I was feeling ok. At least now I know how much she cares... a lot. If you too suffer from this condition, I know how you feel. It is a horrible sort of bug and if you do ever catch is I reccommend a good meal and a bit of rest. Don't try concentrate on anything too important until you do this because chances are you'll stuff it up. There is also another condition that a lot of people suffer from. This, Kirstie and I like to call morning-itis. It too is a horrible condition with similar symptoms, although this seems to pass as the morning passes.

That Special Someone

If there is a very special someone in your life and you don't have the guts to do anything about it, I know how you feel. See, there is an extremely special person to me that i have known for as long as I remember, but I don't want to act on it yet. Only two other people know about it and they have been great. They've kept their mouths shut about it even more than I have, and there has only been one or two moments when they have asked, "When are you going to act on it? You two are so good together." Instead all I do is be nice to her, buy her presents for her birthday even though it was in April and do my best to impress her. I think this is the best thing you can do until you work up the courage to act on your feelings.

Friends at School

At school I have a group of friends that I hang out with. There are some I get along really well with and there are some who are just good company. I get along especially well with one girl that people get a the wrong impression. Because I get along really well people think that we are a good couple. Of course this is an example of people getting the wrong impression. At school I have a group of friends that I hang out with. I have another friend that is always sooooooo happy. She has a lot of friends who are guys which also gives people the wrong impression. She is always nice to everyone which makes you think she can be too nice, but at the end of the day she's a good friend. I have other friends that i think are awesome and can make me laugh all day. They are a great bunch of people who love hanging out with.

My First Entry

Hey guys! This my first blog entry so bear with me if it's horrible. My title, "Jono and the Corn", isn't my tilte because I eat a lot of corn. It's a joke my friends and I have at school. Because I live out of town, everyone thinks that I live on a farm. Well I don't. I live on a block of land 10 minutes out of town and it's no bigger than an acre.
A bit about myself:

• I was born on 9 September 1993, that makes me 14
• I have a dog, a budgie and a fish
• My house isn't really that big although everone thinks it is
• I can get a bit hyper at times
• My hobbies are cooking, watching movies and reading
• I can be a bit nerdy sometimes

Thanks for reading!!! If you can, leave a few comments so i can make my blogs better as they go.
