More Downs Than Ups

So today definitely wasn't my best day.

I made an angry post last time, and I'm going to make another sort of ranting post today, but this one is going to be much because I have accepted the situation and something good may have come from it.

In Australia there is a celebration called Leavers Week.  Once all of the year 12's have finished their final exams, they go to different places like Kalbarri and Dunsborough (both probably spelled wrong - what kind of Australian am I?) and it's basically four days of full on partying.  It was originally something that was organised by the graduates, but now there is government funding and events and police everywhere.

It's tradition, and even if you don't go to the major locations, you at least leave wherever you live and do something.  It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

It's something that I will never get to experience.

In my last post I mentioned that I wasn't allowed to go on real Leavers.  Well, my friend's grandpa owned a beach house in Mandurah (now, I know how to spell that one) and there were a few of us going, and there was going to be no alcohol or anything (which is great, because I'm not into drinking).  It's cancelled now because my friend's grandpa died a couple of weeks ago.  That is perfectly acceptable, and I feel very bad for my friend's loss.  She and her grandpa were really close, so close that she did the speech at the funeral.

Anyway.  Now I'm doing nothing because my best friend is going to America (and Harry potter world that bitch :P), my other bestie is going to Dunsborough, another friend is going to Kalbarri, another is going off with another group, and I had a fight with another (thank God, because it's not worth remaining friends with him for the last five weeks of school - that sounds really bitchy, but I will make the last weeks of my schooling life fun and not full of fights, so we're better off not remaining friends).  So... there goes all my closest friends.

My mother, father, aunt and uncle are going away the very same weekend as Leavers, which is incredibly inconvenient.  So, I have to choices - stay with my aunt for a week, or nan can come stay at the house with me for a week.

A very, very great Leavers week, I must admit.

Due to stress of final exams, fights, guy issues and everything else happening, I lost it.

I'm feeling a lot better now, though.

Hopefully my next post won't be so depressing because I guess readers (what readers?) are sick of this depressing crap at the moment, haha!
