The Gat
I went to school at about 9 so I wouldn't be late for the GAT. I dropped off my painfully overdue books at the library then sat with Audrey, Jeremy, Chris, Ying and Chan playing Big 2. I got bored watching them play a game I don't understand so I went back up to the library and borrowed Anna Karenin by Leo Tolstoy. Apparently it's one of the most famous novels of all time so I figured I'd have to read it eventually.
The GAT was long and boring. I took my time and was practically the last person of our group out. It got to a point where the questions were become tedious so I just guessed the ones I couldn't be stuffed working out (all the maths ones by the way). When I got out, Ashwyn asked if I wanted to go to Eastland because Tara was going too. Yeah, Yen Nie asked me last night but I didn't really want to go because there weren't that many people going. I had to stuff my lunch in my mouth because I didn't want to carry the giant container haha.
The people who ended up going were: Yen Nie, Chris, Audrey, Rowena, Chan, Ying, Tara, Ashwyn and Jeremy. Ashwyn and Jeremy were SO SLOW getting off the train and Tara wanted to wait for them to cross the road so I waited with her. They were half way across the road so Tara and I started walking. We both danced to the music coming from one of the shops and got all giggly and distracted. Turned around, NO JEREMY OR ASHWYN. We waited for a bit and couldn't find them so I just said we should go without them. Turns out they doubled back and went the long way around just to spite us! Meanies.
We tried to stick together, but the guys could only think of their stomachs so they wandered off to get food and the girls looked in Gas. That place is so pink it burnt my eyes. But it has the coolest jewelry stands and tiaras :) Tara, Rowena and I went off to look at I-can't-remember-what. We met up with the guys and forced Ashwyn into trying on suits. Guys always look hotter in suits. I'm not just saying Ashwyn...EW...but as a general rule, most guys look better in a suit. That's all.
Then ALL of us looked for a present for Sarah for Ashwyn and Jeremy. Geez, they were willing to spend 60 bucks between them and they STILL didn't know what to get her. They bought her a black and grey Guess wallet after Rowena suggested it. The shop ladies there were very helpful, but I'm pretty sure they didn't like me. I have this problem where I'm scared of shop keepers and manage to convince myself they don't like me.
Then I went and bought a bag! I was trying to decide which one to buy so it took me AGES then Jeremy blamed me for him missing the bus. NOT MY FAULT! Eventually, all of us except Chris caught the train back to Box Hill. The trip was pretty uneventful. Rowena and Ashwyn kept whispering and giggling. I was kind of tired so I [almost] stopped talking after awhile. Tara and Jeremy were both pretty quiet.
At Box Hill, Ashwyn stayed on the train, Rowena went off to meet her Balwyn friends, Tara, Jeremy and I went to catch the bus. Jeremy went off to catch a different bus. Tara and I crammed onto this tiny little bus and she came over to my place. After she went home I tried on my formal dress so I could measure how long to make the straps. I know I am somehow going to stuff this up. I haven't cut the satin ribbon yet and I'm scared to in case I mess up and ruin the dress. I keep trying to tell myself nothing will happen, and I have 2m of the damn stuff but it's not working.
*sigh* I guess I better go do that now...or I could just read Anna Karenin instead. Good idea...
With love,
Mel
Pee.ess - Today was a good day. A good happy smiley day. I like days like today.
