It's been awhile hasn't it but I have now decided to blog more often because I actually have time these days compared to my hectic TEE life last year. I thought I would start with putting something out there. I changed my profile picture today but the thing I wanted to talk about was who took the picture. It was my friend Janelle who is the most awesome photographer I know so I wanted to encourage anyone who's reading this to check out her Flickr Site. The link is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mohawkinator
Well since the last time I wrote many different and wonderful things have happened. I started university and I am absolutely loving it! Especially the music part. I love spending my time at WAAPA and I couldn't imagine doing anything else. Getting there everyday is a bit of a trek though and I cant wait to get my license. My second phase driving test is next month and hopefully I will pass (fingers crossed) and do my hours and then have my licence by the time I leave for Croatia.
Croatia, now THAT'S something I am looking foreward to the most! I leave in 9 weeks and 4 days (but who's really counting) and I am going there for 2 weeks and then taking a cruise with my family from Venice and it stops in Bari in Italy and a whole bunch of Greek Islands and then it's last stop is Dubrovnik where we get off and then I stay one more week in Croatia and then come home. I wanted to spend more time in Croatia after the cruise but I have to get back here before uni starts but my parents and brother are staying for a few extra weeks which I'm pretty jealous about but i guess I'll live with it :)
Anyway's, I have to go and practice now. I have to do music practice 3 hours and day *sigh* and I have only done 2 hours today so I better get back to that. More soon!

New Year, New Life
Wow, a New Year. Last year went so fast but I'm not complaining, I'm glad TEE and High School is behind me and that I can learn and experience new things in the years ahead.
Well it's been while since my last blog and quiet a lot has happened. First of all, I got accepted into WAAPA and ECU for a double degree in Music and Education. I'm really excited and I start orientation the week after next. I also have been in Malaysia with my family for a month and only got back last week. It was interesting and good to see all my family again but I'm glad to be home. I was very homesick.
Since then I've been catching up with friends and getting ready for university. I'm going to Croatia this June/July for the summer which I'm really excited about. :) It's going to be a good year.
More soon

A Rather Big Thing....
Well, this is the point where I shout from the rooftops that I HAVE FINISHED SCHOOL AND TEE EXAMS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty cool huh?
Well it happened a while back now, I finished school on the 24th of October, I finished TEE (Exams) on the 19th of November and I graduated on the 20th of November. It was kind of sad thinking I had finished an amazing part of my life, but where you close one door, another one opens as they say ;)
Since then I have done a lot really. I went to leavers (schoolies) with my awesome friends to Bussselton for 7 days and we had the best fun. I also had my WAAPA (Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts) audition. It went pretty well I think and yesterday I got back from Sydney where I had been for 4 days for Cro Fest, a singing competition. Next Saturday however I am leaving for Singapore/ Malaysia for a holiday with my family.
Everything has been pretty sweet really. I'm taking every opportunity to have a great time really before next year where everything changes.
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Love Anea

Exams!
Well one down and 5 more to go! Today I had my English exam and I guess it went alright. However, towards the end of the exam I suddenly got a burst of hay fever and started sneezing and sneezing and my eyes got all puffy and I couldn't see and Allira was next to me going "what the hell is happening to you?" Luckily I only had the conclusion to write on my essay and then I was done. It was totally crazy and by the time i walked out, I was fine again. As I said, crazy! So tomorrow I have my Human Biology which I think will be alright and the next Tuesday is Maths, Wednesday is History and then Friday is music written but my music practical is not until 2 weeks after that.
Well at the moment one of my best friends Steph is in Croatia and I'm missing her like crazy. She left last week but I didn't hear from her until today because she just got her new number but she's ringing later yahhh
Anyways now I'm jut babbling because I don't have much to say. Anyways back to studying. Cao

Exercise
I think exercise is very important in life and that's why I've joined a gym. Next Generation gym to be exact and can I just say its FREAKING AWESOME. It just makes you want to do exercise for ever and ever and ever. People who know Next Generation gym will know what I'm talking about.
I went last night and went on all these cool machines. I went with my friend Boris. After we went and got Hungry Jacks which I kinda guess defeats the purpose but oh well. I'm also really sore today which I guess kind of sucks but oh well.
Today I also applied for university and it was scary let me tell you. I can't believe this is all happening. Its so surreal.
Sorry I haven't much to say today but here's a bit of humour....this is hilarious. It's Novak Djokovic, number 3 tennis player in the world making fun of other tennis players. If you know your tennis.. this will be really funny for you

Recital Night
Hmmmmmmmm lets see. This just might sum it up. Recital Night was ABSOLUTELY FREAKING FANTASTIC!!!!!
Yes that might just do it. Now for some details. Well it was quiet a busy day. So recital night was on Thursday the 13th of September and it was one of the best days of my life. Not even exaggerating there. So that day I got to school and it went on as normal really. I had a human biology practical exam after lunch and then straight after was music but we were going to go to Don Russel Performing Arts Centre for the Rehearsal. We were suppose to leave at 2.30pm but if you know Mr Loveday you would know that was never going to happen. After much stressing and getting together of things we left at 3.20pm. Janelles rehearsal was suppose to be at 3pm and mine at 3.30 but because we were late, mine didn't start until after 4pm. I was trying not to stress but because I live in woop woop land, it would take me half and hour to get home and then I had to straighten my hair which takes forever (If you've seen my hair you would understand). So my rehearsal should have finished just after 4.30 but it went a bit longer, plus my dad was stuck in traffic because there was an accident in the freeway so we didn't leave the rehearsal until 5.10 and we had to take the long way home PLUS I had to stop at the shops to get the presents for Mr Loveday AND we had to leave at 7pm.
WELL, we didn't get home till 6pm and i was totally freaking out. Thankfully my friend Steph was there and she sat my bum down and straightened my hair which only took half and hour (?) really weird. Anyways after that, got dressed did my makeup and we were out of there by 7pm which was amazing. At this point i was totally calm and couldn't wait to get there and perform.
Well we got there at 7.30 and I went backstage to get ready. Janelle and Allira and Rohan arrived and they all looked amazing! Rohan looked so funky and Allia and Janelle looked absolutely stunning! Janelle had this awesome hair piece in her hair and Allira had this gorgeous white dress on! Well before we knew it, everyone had arrived and we started at 8pm exactly. Because i wasn't on until after intermission, I watched the first half with the audience. Janelle was first and man was she great. She plays classical piano by the way. My favourite piece was MoonLight Sonata for sure. Then came Allira who was a little nervous i knew but it didn't show. However at one point, she started singing the same song again but it was a different tune. It was quiet funny, when she realised she was like, " Sorry about that. I just like the Song Cry Me A River so much i thought i would sing it again." It was really funny.
After intermission i went backstage to get ready. Rohan was before me and he plays bass and I was lucky last. He played so so well. He last song was the best. He played Super Mario theme and it was so funny! Then there was me. I couldn't wait to get up there and perform. It started off OK. Everything went smoothly and I was having the best time until we got up to my second last song which was my favourite. It was a blues tune called Dr Feelgood. Everything went great until the ending which got totally stuffed up and we ended up playing and whole head again but thankfully everyone in the audience didn't notice the stuff up and I didn't get marks taken off for it. :) My last song was my hardest and i think i managed to pull it off apart from some dodgy notes here and there.
Over all, a fantastic night and I couldn't of asked for a better one. Friday morning we were suppose to have a music test but Mr Loveday couldn't find the CD he had to use and he ended up saying, " Oh well, the Lord is on your side this morning because i cannot find this CD" so we just sat in the office and had a little party and got our marks for recital night back and we all got A's!!!!!
What can I say. One of the best nights of my life.

This crazy world....
It's been awhile hasn't it. Many things have happened to me but there's so many things that i can't be bothered writing them all down which is kind of pointless really because this is suppose to be a blog site but whats even the point of me writing this blog when i don't even want to write the stuff that's suppose to go into a blog. Concerned. But I'm going to do it anyways.
Well let's see..... my mock exams are in two weeks. I don't want to do them. No surprises there really. That kind of goes for the TEE as well. Don't you think this whole TEE thing is kind of whacked? I mean here you have 16 and 17 year old kids studying for exams that pretty much determine your whole future. And I know "Even if you don't get into university, there are other options to get in and blah blah blah blah". But really, who wants to fail getting into uni after studying for a whole year to get there when they finish school. Not me.
Recital night is in two weeks which is kind of whats keeping me going at the moment. Our music class has kind of dropped from nine to four students during the course of the year so its only Janelle, Rohan, Allira and I performing now. With so few of us we now get to perform all of our set pieces which included six for Allira and I (being jazz vocalist and apparently 'having it easy' so we have to sing more songs) and Rohan and Janelle doing five each. Yesterday I was arranging my pieces after school with my music teacher, also refereed to as Johnny or Johnson (its an inside joke and if you don't know what it is then your not cool) Just joking. Not really a inside joke, Mr Loveday just decided to call us all Johnny one day around 2 to 3 years ago and so from then on, everyone is called Johnny. Anyways we were arranging my pieces yesterday and can I say that they sound great and I can't wait to sing them! Last recital night, last everything this year really. Just had our last music camp which kind of really sucked. Things suck a lot when you get to year 12 can I just say.
Now I'm just blabbering because I have a History assignment that I'm avoiding. I saw Brooke Fraser the other night in concert with my best friend Allira. Can I just say that she is truly brilliant. Here are some of her clips. Enjoy and Goodbye!
