Yo! Wassup? This is basically just a write dump containing stuff I actually have to tell you, in order not to lose my official status as the responsible half of P & C. (hehehe )

Hiatus. Don't you just love that word? I love the way it sounds like some awful army manoeuvre or special type of mass-execution. I dislike the way it actually means a pause in a series of events. That's such a dodgy meaning! Anyway, I'm not here to discuss the
meaning of the word hiatus or the feelings it invokes (evokes? invokes? which one is it? I just looked it up and they mean the same thing. WTH?). I'm here to discuss the fact that there will, at least from Confession, be one for this bloggy blog of blogginess. You see, there's this little thing called 'exams' which are coming up. It's our first real exam period (One of the many slightly dubious joys of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program, or IB MYP for short, is that you don't get proper exams until well into highschool. You get fifty-thousand assignments instead) and so we're all freaking out. Yes it's in six weeks so it's a fair way off but no, I don't have any complete study notes except for geography. In order to rectify this situation there will be no scheduled confessions. There may occasionally be a write dump if I'm procrastinating but hopefully not. I apologise.
Holidays of Stuff. For those of you who have no freaking idea what I'm talking about, I'll re include the highly-scientific analysis:
Let's discuss it post events;
Sherlock: I read one of the many books but yeah... didn't actually watch any.
Study: I wrote ALL my geography ones. No comment on the others.

| Yes. I realise it is the wrong meme. Shoot me. |
Socialising: I saw friends 5 times. I think it's a record.
Room Sorting: I did it! I did it! Whoo whoop YEAH!
YouTube: I did it for one vlogger. Only about ten more to go.
Photography: Yeah...nah.
I'm obviously a person who sticks to plans and accomplishes things efficiently.
These holidays, Philosopher and I were going to hole ourselves up somewhere (i.e a library) and write GP (that is what our story is affectionately known as ~ can you guess what it means?). We didn't, although Philosopher did write a pretty good half a first chapter. I did pretty much nothing. I thought about it a lot and I know what I'm doing, I just don't know when. After Exams. It's almost become a new sort of time period to me. Everything I plan that does not include studying is AE (after exams) and can't happen until then.

I wish I did more creative writing. In a probably futile, if the holidays of stuff demonstrates anything, attempt to push myself to do more I created three years worth of write prompts. They have images, quotes, sentence starters, songs, a whole big mish-mash of things.
Basically I allow myself one week to write something, anything, about the prompt, whether it be a poem, a essay, a short story, a paragraph, a chapter of a book or whatever the hell I feel like. Unfortunately I'm not allowing myself to start until after exams. THE SUSPENSE!
I really want to upload it and share it with you but I don't think I legally am allowed to. You see, I used images from the amazing website DeviantArt. I figure so long as it's personal use that's ok, but sharing it with others would probably get me into all sorts of trouble. I'm not quite sure why, as people put their art there for others to see (but no use I guess). I'm awfully sorry because I know you all would have absolutely loved to see it.
WOW! (I.e Word of the Week)
Palimpsest:
A manuscript or writing surface from which writing has been partially or wholly erased to make room for another text. Thanks Sherlock (where I got the word)!
If you are a school student in Australia, I hope you enjoyed your first day back at school (yay!) but if not I hoped you enjoyed your unique/boring/exciting/routine/adventurous/slothful day! Now go outside, look at the sky and breathe deeply, enjoying the polluted 'fresh' air.
xx Confession xx
P.S I'm sorry about all the gifs. Once we had a whole class debate about how to pronounce it. Thanks to google translate my side one.
P.P.S Sorry this post was kinda boring. Next one will be a write-dump that makes you laugh. I promise. xxx
