This Is Me

Perth isn't any place special.  It's definitely nothing like Hollywood or London, not even like Sydney!  No, we're the most isolated city in the world, so nothing interesting happens here.

We do have our ups and downs, and I must say that we mostly have our downs.  Not many bands or artists come here - it's too much hassle because there isn't enough people and barely any locations that are big enough.

I think the biggest concerts that I have been to were P!nk and Kiss.

The tourist attractions aren't that great.  There's a couple of national parks, a bell tower, the Fremantle prison (which isn't even in the city of Perth), and we only have Adventure World and two water parks that I know of.  No, you need to go to the Gold Coast for that.

We're a lonely city - nothing much to do - but this is home.

And we gave the world Heath Ledger.  May he rest in peace.

I go to a 'low fee' private school that's Anglican based.  I must admit that it is incredibly low fee.  Standards high enough to not have many beat ups and school yard fights, yet not so high as to have rich snobs (well, most of the time).  I'm in my last year of school, struggling to raise my exam marks.  Funnily enough, my English mark is letting me down, but that is because the exam mark is scaled down.

More on that later.

I have my goals - I want to get into Murdoch, do a double major in Biological Sciences and Conservation and Wildlife Biology.  I don't know what I want to do after that or if this is the right choice for me, but it's a start.

I have boy issues, friends at school, school problems, poor social schools, self confidence issues.

I live a normal life, just an ordinary girl.
