Interesting Friday

So many things happened on Friday (yesterday) that I dare say it was the most exciting day of my life (and soon you shall realize my life is rather dull because of it).

First of all, I did my HSC English Paper 1 exam (hour and a half) and it was actually pretty easy compared to other exams, both ours and years past. Section one question were the easiest actually, only dealing with journey-type stuff as well with what the text was about, and there weren't any language technique-type questions at all, which made it even easier (and that's what i fail at the most).
Section two was still challenging, asking us how effective were the prescribed and related texts in conveying the development of new understanding of the world around us one may gain while on a journey. Some friends used only three texts (writing almost two pages for each) while others used a bigger number of texts though they wrote less as well (after all, we can only write so much in a mere 50 minutes). As for me, I used 7 texts (I did told my friends I used 8, but that was because I confused myself). I used the poems "A drive in a country" and "Postcard" by Peter Skrzynecki, and "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost; the novels "Only The Heart" written by Brian Caswell and David Phu An Chiem, as well as "Eldest" by Christopher Piolini; the song "Message in a Bottle" by The Police (which for some reason i remembered the lyrics so well despite the fact I only read them 2-3 times) and the film "Eight Below" directed by Frank Marshall (whose name I did not remembered so I didn't bothered writing anything on that matter). Of course I didn't wrote more than a page for each text (though Only the Hear, Eldest and SKrzynecki's poems came close) but I believe I didn't bragged much about them, only saying what needed to be said.
I surprised myself by how confident I sounded on my writing, stating that "these texts do conveyed the idea of blah blah blah effectively". Normally I wouldn't do that because I wouldn't be sure if I could really support my argument (though I didn't know either when I wrote this) so I was, as I sad, surprised at myself. I'm not sure if I supported my statement well or whether if I supported it at all, but I believe I did, so that's something.

Moving on, after the exams we all went to our teacher to see what she thought of it, and to hear any consolences that would make us feel better in our chances of getting a good mark. After that, Jess* and I started walking together towards the exit as we talked about the exam we just did and the ones next week. Haruhi* joined us and then left us as soon as she joined us as she lived somewhere else. I was surprised that Jess kept wlaking with talking as we talked, as she would normally go with her friends (who were nearby). But the fact I felt absolutely NOTHING about her as she was next to me is what surprised me the most (and still giving trouble in finding peace). After talking with two friends I agreed to the fact that it may be that Jess just happens to be my type of girl personified that I feel attracted to her, and not because of who she really is. Which bugs me to no end...
At least I got her to deal her phone number in my mobile (she did it twice as the first time I closed the phone without saving it properly) and will be calling her tomorrow to see if she has foresee the exam questions on monday (she did for her previous exam).

After all of us went our separate ways, I realized that, due to the nervousness and excitement of the exam, I left my house keys INSIDE my house. Not knowing the time my parents would get home, I went to the Library. After a while (three hours) I went back home and still no one there. So I decided to do something I never thought I'd do in my life: to break the law (or rather, just break in into my own house). I won't go into details but after a 1.8m fall where I landed on my right leg and much thinking and headache (due to the heat) I managed to get inside to a well deserved glass of water and my beloved computer. Though I ended up realizing I did too much walking and, I being out of practice having stayed at home for two entire weeks, left me with sore legs for quite a while.
