Looking Forward

bliumchikI'm exactly half way through my HSC exams now. This is, frankly, awesome. I'm looking forward to having time for non-school projects, things I want to do just because they're really interesting, and not because I'm being tested on them. I'm looking forward to occasionally sitting back and realising that I have literally nothing to do. I'm looking forward to my dad switching my internet back on upstairs where all my bookmarks are. I'm looking forward to getting started on being an adult, goddamn.
I'm also looking forward to my formal a hell of a lot. It's like the awesome cherry on my ridiculously-improved highschool years. I hit a social low somewhere in year six and things have basically been more-or-less steadily improving ever since, no matter that it sometimes felt like they weren't and never would. Getting my yearbook really brought that home - having people sign it without thinly-veiled contempt or pity. The formal marks the very end of this era of my life, and I can say with sincerity that it has all been worth it. And then move on to greater things.
Also, on a shallower note, I'm really looking forward to wearing my formal outfit. I can raise my hat at people! It has long white gloves, and a cravat, and a cane! I was going to go put down the deposit today as I've got to go to bondi anyway for my grandad's birthday, but my dad reminded me that it's kind of Sunday afternoon and they're probably closed. I'm still not sure what kind of hairstyle will go with the hat unless I do a Brendon urie and get the emo cut and straighten it. I've wanted to try out boyish hairstyles anyway, although from experimenting with my bangs I have a strong suspicion that my default boy-hair is that of superman, s-curl and all.
And I'm looking forward to the afterparty, because drinking vodka in an attic is pretty damn cool.
And I'm looking forward to my three-month holiday.
Starting uni.
Life.
