One more semester of school...

SO it occurred to me the other day that I've just finished the second last semester of my schooling. Which in turn means that I have one more semester left of school ever. I don't like that thought...
Did some showjumping the other weekend... I came 4th overall... Out of four. lol
I fell at the last jump in the first round, cos there was (according to Bonza) this massive scary piece of white plastic (the kind that's used in roadworks, the big plastic dividers) under the jump. So we were eliminated. Yay!
The second round, we managed to pull it together and placed 1st. Eat that, Holly, you only came 2nd last round! (Admittedly, I didn't come anything in the last round, hence I was eliminated, but still, lol) You see, when it comes to competition, my sister and I aren't competing against anyone other than ourselves. In the third round, we pretty much were owned by everyone else. I came 4th and Holly came 3rd. Placing myself 4th and Holly 3rd overall. lol

In other news, I've (not so) recently covered one of Mika's new songs from his limited edition EP entitled 'Songs for Sorrow', called 'Toy Boy'. You can watch it here:

I've also decided to apply for a scholarship at the University of Technology, Sydney. It's a Bachelor of Information Technology, and I'm really hoping to get in!

Overview-
This is a cooperative education scholarship program in computer information systems, developed by UTS in cooperation with a group of private and public sector employers. It differs from other cooperative education courses in that, during the industry-based semesters, students follow a structured program designed jointly by UTS and the employer group, including formal coursework delivered by industry.

This intensive course includes two six-month industry placements with different industry sponsors. Industry sponsors are heavily involved in the curriculum design to ensure graduates are not only highly qualified but also have the knowledge and skills relevant to the needs of industry.

Students normally secure graduate employment before completion of the course, which has a track record of 100 per cent employment. Sponsors actively recruit graduates from the course but students are not obliged to take up employment with a sponsor.

It's starting to get quite cool in Townsville at the moment. I rarely leave the house without my jumper! If I end up getting the scholarship in Sydney, I'm positive I will FREEZE!

The latest that has been on my mind involves a certain piece of paper which I, and most other students recieve twice a year. Yes, my report card. I'm ridiculously obsessed with recieving those in the post. I don't really know why... It's not like I ever get bad reports, I just like looking at the comments and my marks! lol, nerdy.

Also, just so you know, as of today, there is ten more days until I turn 17. Am inviting some friends around for a little party thing...

And that's about it!
