GUYS I'M BAAAAAAAACK! YES I AM ALIVEEEEEEEE!

Gawd, what a LONG hiatus. I have been very, very, very, very busy with very important final high school exams that I kinda need to pass so I can go to university this year. You have no idea how much stressed and busy I've been during these months. I knew they were going to be stressful and all, but I didn't expect them to be so stressful. Seriously, at one point in May I thought I was going crazy.

I was finished with all my exams exactly on June 30, which is a week ago. So yeah, June was spent revising rather than relaxing. Bu that's okay now, because I can finally say that...

HIGH SCHOOL IS OVER FOREVER!!!

Can you believe it?! :D I won't be complaining about school anymore (in fact, this is the last time I will be using the tag 'school'), I won't need to study 15 subjects anymore, I won't have to put up with stupid teachers and annoying people anymore (well, at least I won't be forced to 'because we are in the same class' or stupid stuff like that)... IT'S OVER.

I seriously can't believe it. I've been waiting for this moment the whole year and now I... can't quite realize I'm free and that everything is over.

That school... I've spent 5 years there. 6 days a week, from 8 in the morning till 6 in the evening every day (well, except Saturdays) for 5 years. That school, it... took away many things from me, but it also gave me something special, something that another school could have never given me. The trips, the exchanges, the new experiences, the things that made me grow up, the things that made me cry, the things that made me angry and those things that made me laugh like crazy. I've met both bad and good people there. I mean, it's... it's weird to know that I won't have to go to that school anymore. I feel happy and relieved, but at the same time, I feel... kinda melancholy. I mean, it's understandable. I spent more time at school than at home during these 5 years. That school had become... my second home, in a way. So leaving that school is like leaving a place that has been my home for 5 years. I'm happy and sad at the same time. It's a strange feeling.

Lots of stuff happened during these months. The Americans from our exchange last year came here for 10 days and we had lots of fun. I did go to Sicily in the end with the theatre group and... I kinda wish I didn't, especially when we were stuck there because of the volcano in Iceland. Then my little cat was seriously ill to the point where she nearly died, but we managed to save her in time. And then, well, just the usual - school getting in the way of free time and teachers stressing us about exams and exams being... well, exams.

I think I'll stop here for today. This is just a post to celebrate me graduating from high school. I'll know the final results of my exams on July 10. According to my calculations, my final score should be around 75-85 out of 100. Either way, I'm really pleased with my exams. :D

Oh, and by the way... I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH GUYS!! ♥ ;_; *clings to everyone* Now that summer vacation has finally started, you'll definitely hear from me more! Love you all! ♥

Just popped in to say something that I need to get off my chest...

Final Fantasy XIII. I WANT THIS GAAAAAAAAAAME. SO, SO, SO BADLY. But I don't have a PS3, nor will I be seeing one until I graduate from high school... Plus, the March-April-May period is going to be very busy, so I wouldn't be able to play it even if I did get a PS3 (which is still veeeeery improbable). Life is so unfair sometimes. ;_; Anyway, I LOVE EVERY SINGLE VOICE. ♥ Lightning's one in particular, but really, they're all great. It's been a while since I've been so excited about a new game coming out, hehe~! :D

I wish I could write more, but here it's past midnight and my tired self is begging me to go to bed. ;_;

Btw, this week has passed! One more to go! Well, technically there are two more weeks left... ah, whatever. Sprachdiplom (German oral exam) is on Wednesday at 12:30 and tomorrow I shall try to learn what I'm going to say there, plus revise a little bit of math. Oh, and I have to study Italian, too. Yeah. Whatever happened to free Sundays?
