Hey TV fans, Gamespotters and Movietomers. 
My sickness of the cough-virus has indeed been healed, and I did return to school today. Exam results were not good at all (from what I have received so far). I mean come on, I started at this school in June so I missed all of the important stuff, and besides - The system over here in New Zealand is really screwed up and needs to be changed. It's a problem everywhere. Teachers, the government, students and parents agree that Levels 1 and 2 are simply too hard in some area's. Specifically in English, Commerce and Practical work. Good thing though, as these exams did not count for any credits - but were just rotten revision tests.
In final news, In English (this is optional), the cl*ss has to present a Monologue for a certain number of credits. "Yeah right, after all that has been on my plate, it's a simple answer: NOT doing it". Yup, I'd rather give up the 3 credits than for me to be filmed in cla*s for 2-3 minutes. Doing a speech is bad enough, even though it was one of the only things I got "Excellence" for. This is way over the top, and I'm not doing it. I cannot stand pressure and stress like that anymore, and plus, you'll never know when you'll become the laughing victim.
Nope, I'm enjoying just going to school and thinking towards my Career as I'm doing my subjects, despite the fact that most of them su*k. Life is going alright I guess, getting better slowly, but 2008 has been another mediocre type of year with sadness, and there have been times where I have wanted to go back in time and change my life so it would be better now...
So yeah, this is the third to last week of school with a two-week holiday following on. Once I return to school in term 4, I've decided that I'm going to study for about an hour + every night for at least 6 weeks before the Externals (Year 12 - NCEA Level 2 examinations), as all the subjects of mine that contain these credits add up to 50+ if I pass all sections. I am more determined than ever to pass.
Well, that's my blog for today, and I'll try and get around to more later this week. I just hope my English teacher, despite the fact that the Monologue is optional, doesn't make a big deal out of it and start asking me questions. Thanks for reading, and I'll always reply to comments.

Do you think New Zealand system is screwed up for being too hard?? I think you should be greatful for it! You don't know brazilian public school system! Here it's too easy! In the poorest (most poor? i forgot! lol) areas, people are almosting finishing school and doesn't know how to write correctly! (i know, third world country)
Fortunatelly I go to private school, so my education is good. But still, we don't have classes like commerce or practical work, just basic stuff such as math, physics...
Sorry for the long speech!! hahahah. Good luck with your tests and stuffs!!
Al: Uh, here we go... It's not just a speech, it's a dramatic monologue that requires students to be filmed while doing some sort of acting individually in front of everyone for two-three minutes. Alright for you, as you do drama but knowing me being very-well known, and all the stress that I'm facing, I think not!
-amanda-: Ok, gosh, is it really that easy? Holy S**t. That isn't very good. Thanks for posting.
JPPT1974: Heh, thank you very much.
