Yup, Dad made me a new computer, grabbed the innards and screwed em all in and set me up with the glory of Windows 7!
I have for than 40gigs now! And movies!

And... Oh my god. A graphics card that isn't made out of cardboard and will support Spore!!!!!! (WIN) Now I need to buy some bootleg games! Oh this is so wonderful!

I also looked at some Bamboo Tablets today. Holy shit Harvey Norman is expensive! JB-Hi-Fi FTW!
But yeah, I still haven't decided to get one yet...

But yeah, totally stoked with my new computer, Dad has to put it in Mum's house tomorrow (because that's going to go down oh so well...)

But I have a wicked sound system (snow Patrol on full blast? YES PLEASE.)

I have some pretty neat programs that will come in handy for next year (year 10), especially since I'm taking Year 11 biology (just scraped through with my ass kissing). So yeah, it's all AWESOME.

How was everyone's weekend?

Oh yeah. My friend Courtney, who is a freaking tank, is getting me motivated to get fit! (woohoo!)
I went for a run last night (yes I'm sure you're all interested) and found my limit, Which meant I wheezed my way back home. Really fun, but I think I have a cold-y thing now.
Yeah. Good fun. I want to start boxing, My dad is like "NO. NO BOXING. YOUR FACE GETS DESTROYED AND YOUR LIPS GO ALL PUFFY." and Mum's like 'Sure, it's a good way to let out aggression!" Tension free and botox? Count me in! Lol, j/ks. But I might look into it, either that or Tae-Kwon-Do, which is UUUUUUUUUUUUUBER expensive, but awesomely fun.

Uhm. Yeah. I have Year 9 Exams this week. Good fun. :/ I'm shitscared.
Apparently if we 'take the day off', our exam marks will be (and I quote) "SEVERELY COMPROMISED." I thought 'compromised' meant that it was null and void... So either my teachers are stupid, or I am, or they've just come up with a better threat that makes 'null and void' seem puny.

But yeah... It's all pretty neat right now. We have plans to go away for Christmas, just 3 days, but it's going to be cool.

Uhm what else... OH YEAH
For the second year in a row, I've won the Ceramics Award! Very happy. And I alos won an Endeavor Award! Which is neat, because my Ceramics teacher is completely AWESOME.
But I made a really awesome distorted piece, which I need to add wire too (does anyone know how to barb their own wire?) and I've also just finished a stop-frame animation project, which looks pretty neat. If I can figure out how to put that up here, I might. The lighting keeps changing, but in some places it makes it look more... scary? I dunno.

Oh yah. And since my room at Mum's house is incredibly small and we can't renovate, we're refurnishing the rumpus room so I can study in it! Full set of Encyclopedia Britannica! Woo! Thank you grandma for collecting expensive stuff! Seriously. She was like an antique maniac. Heaps of stuff to sell, I know it sounds inconsiderate, but antique stuff was NOT made for comfort and since we're not having the Queen over for tea anytime soon, we might as well sell some stuff, but the GEC kinda makes people not want to buy expensive antiques. But STILL. All locked away for now

So yeah. That's my news.
