weather: hot, sunny. we're at this point in the melbourne spring where it won't get any cooler than about 23 degrees celcius. it's going to be a hot summer. it's the melbourne cup today (a prestigious horse race) and i have to admit i actually bet on some horses. i know, i know. shameless gambling from a young age. but come on. i really want to be at the races, "my fair lady" style. i think it's the idea of a big hat on a hot day that's luring me.

song of the moment: "independant women part one" by destiny's child. would it be bragging to say that i loved their music back in the days of "no no no"? and can i question whether or not there will actually be a part two? the part one leaves me skeptical of their seriousness.

exams are next week. i'm at this point again where i really can't be bothered to study, but there's always be this niggling feeling at the back of my head. that little voice they call guilt. all my friends are studying...but i'm not really one to go along with the crowd. i took one look at my mound of year 10 revision sheets and really regreted not doing straight 9 maths this year. *sigh* life is tough at fourteen.
