To my awesome friends, thank you so much for the present! I was so not expecting it, and I really love it. So thank you again, I’m definitely going to use them. *hugs*

That was definitely the highlight of the day, since it was fairly ordinary. But it was a good day though, despite the fact that the tryout marks are announced and mine are totally pathetic. Still, today is a good day so far.

I really need to get a better grade, or I might just kiss my Trinity Fast Track year goodbye. So I proposed a studying session/challenge to Amanda, Stella, and Margareth. Each day we’re going to pick a subject and a certain number of questions to be answered. The next day we’re going to compare the result, and whoever fails to reach the goal will have to treat us with that crunchy mushroom snack in the cafeteria. We’re doing Physics today, which is one of my better subjects, I think, but it’s still a struggle.

This is going to be fun. And I’m not being sarcastic. Not really.

These past few days had been hell for me. Heck, it had been hell for everyone. The preparation for the play demanded much more time and energy than I thought and, more than once, I wanted nothing more than to bite someone's head off or crawl under my cover and not wake up. I was this close to be the bitch who would not hesitate tell her sick friend to suck it up and come to practice no matter what. I was tense, short-tempered, panicky, and probably hated (and was hated by) some of my own teammates.

In short, the monster reared its ugly head.

But it's all over. We performed this morning; had to wait for almost an hour for the sound guy to arrive (I had no idea if he ever arrived or not, but I still think we paid them for nothing), Margareth had several accidents, and the music was all wrong toward the end (I should've made sure Stella knew her cue), but it turned out pretty okay. Whatever. All that matters is that it's all over now.

YAY!!

On a lighter note, I'm eighteen now. Doesn't feel that different than being seventeen, but we'll see. ;) I had an okay birthday. Mum cooked the whole day, and we had to go shopping for the ingredients which was pretty fun. Dad was in a good mood the whole weekend too, which is always a good thing, and he cooked too. And I got to eat ice cream both times we went out. I'm happily stuffed.

I didn't get any gifts, but it's alright. I can't think of anything I want that you could buy here (though I do have a wish list up on Facebook, but most of them are frivolous things), and my friends are way too busy to put together something special, so I totally understand. =) Mum said she'd buy me a pair of real earrings, unlike the plastic ones I currently own, and maybe some of the things I might need when I actually leave for uni, wherever that may be.

Which reminded me that this might be my last birthday here. *sighs*

Oh well, at least it was a good one.
