Most listened: Radio - Jamiroquai

Current longing: That’s obvious isn’t it?

Its been a pretty interesting week back at school this week. I’ve been busting my gut with my revision. I’ve put in so much effort but I don’t think that I have gotten through as much as I would have liked. Which is sort of disheartening.

Lets go thru the motions eh? Monday, Chris and I went to John’s and had a regular little gaming gathering, Cam rocked up later in the day. Tueday, first day back. It was rather obscure as I have had 2 weeks of self indulgence and then had to get back into it and not try and drag on the holidays. Which I did just like flicking on a switch. Despite people not going too well in the Maths Specialist test people still seem content on wasting lesson time talking about trivial issues of the general intellectual kind. Man its so frustrating, excluding the notable effort that Chris puts into his work I am the only person in the work who puts his head down and works the whole time. No one else does work. Which is terrible considering that we are meant to be the clueyest(?) kids in the grade. What worsens the matter is that these people that don’t work every lesson sometimes get better marks then myself. This is especially true in Physics. Frustrating indeed.

Talking about lazy we haven’t received our Maths trial exams back either. We’ve gotten Chinese and Physics but no Maths. Disappointed in both of the marked exams. Chinese I should have got a bit higher, I could have if I scabbed marks like everyone else but I was content with what I got. ‘You’re given what you get’ is what these people should follow. I also obviously went terrible in the Physics exam, altho it wasn’t my worst score ever(also see Physics) but it was the worst in the class. Which also makes me feel terrible as other people didn’t even revise for it yet I started revision weeks ahead.

Things have been pretty good with the mates this week. People seem mega keen on having plenty of anime gatherings over the holidays which is fine by me.

A job offer had popped up in our schools bulletin which intrested me. It was for someone to start off doing retail/admin at a stationary store and then move onto doing graphic design for when they increase the size of the business. This would be where other businesses come it, pitch a design(being print media like business cards and pamphlets) and you would create it for them. This would be mega sweet. It has everything that I needed. Except that it was only for fulltime. Which although great isn’t what I could manage with University next year. So I talked to the teacher that had received the placement from the business and she checked with them and they definitely wanted a full timer(Italian folk, ruining my life, eh?). But she told me where to go to get a local job in design, apparently there’s plenty of opportunities which is very suprising as I have read heaps about Uni grads not being able to find employment. I’ll definitely check it out. It would be much better doing designs then retail mofo over at Harris Scarfes.

Last bit of interesting news for the week. I managed to get hold of the next Jamiroquai single which isn’t released yet. Radio is the name. As dubbed by the website its a ‘racious rock song’. Many fans were surprised that it wasn’t as rock like as they expected. Infact they liked it. Its very different I’ll give it that. Now I like every Jamiroquai song. I can’t not like any of them. Actually one or two of the songs on Travelling Without Moving bug me a bit. But Radio really pisses me off. Now thats saying quite a lot. I spose I need to let it grow on me more, but I really don’t like it so far. It seems so over the place, hard to follow and just so mixed up. Some of the lyrics are a bit too permisciuos as well for example:

let’s make another naked light show

I spose thats pretty tame as the song is about a threesome. Its good though as its; different(adds to the ‘portfolio’ I spose), plenty of natural sound and theres a good use of all of the band members. It just gives me a headache ATM.

Maybes its the cold that I have picked up for Cam. I’m feeling a bit worn out today.

Lets wrap up, the template for the new PrimeScape shall hopefully be adapted this weekend. Then I just need to touch it up a bit. It should be up in time for the end of school, as a worst case scenario. Then again the holidays aren’t too far off now. Only 4 weeks until freedom, thats just a month! Yay!

I could be uploading pictures of stuff but I am delaying it until PrimeScape is up. Which should flow in nicely with the likelihood of pics during the holidays. I feel as tho I am working harder than I ever have this week. So I had better get going and keep at it.
