Mod

v I don't know what I'd do without it
Mod
> I haven't read much, either.

v Hello!
^ hello!> just ended figuring out school stuff for this semester
\/ started school already?
^ No, not yet.> I start 10th grade on September 3rd. Part of me is looking forward to it, part of me is not. School means homework and less time to read and be on GR :)
V How are you doing?
^I'm good. Hi Aria! Hi Kari!
>*sees the approaching school year and retreats back in fear*
v I always feel so out of place going back to school shopping. I see tons of Public Schoolers with lists from teachers. I just look for whatever my mom says I need. Homeschool Life. =P

^All my friends (okay...not all but most) are homeschooled. I see some of them 3-4 times a week! (Church, youth group, co-op)
>So if you've heard that Homeschoolers have no social life...nope. Lies! All of it!
V If you're homeschooled, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJHt-m...
I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it. =)

^ Homeschoolers, public schoolers... eh. I used to be all for public school, but then I met you guys and... well... my opinion changed. Still wouldn't like to be homeschooled myself, thoughImagine a school for Goodreaders....
> We'd be in the same class....
v :D :D :D I love my imagination
^I love you're imagination too!!! =D
>Who'd be the teacher???
V Our eyes would be glued to our screens for hours on end, and the classroom would turn to a chatroom, and we wouldn't accomplish anything...so, basically not different at all. =P

^ No, but at least the noise will be GONE.> *shudders* You DON'T want to be in my homegroup. It's mentally damaging to be in there.
v Hmm... teacher. Maybe Irene? She hasn't mentioned her age, but she's gotta be around/above the 18 mark. Or maybe Athena...
^Yeah...we can dream.
>I still have a week off before school starts...I think...
vBut, even though I dread it I look forward to seeing my RL friends more often.
>I still have a week off before school starts...I think...

^ Ah, yes> The dreaded school starts up :/
v I'm already halfway through my term.
^Is it winter there, or what?
>*hangs head* I'm in my own little bubble and I sometimes forget that in other areas around the world the time is different and the seasons are different.
v How is it that an hour has passed since I commented? HAS TIME SPED UP OR SOMETHING??? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A COUPLE MINUTES AGO!!!

^ Time does fly...
> Where Leyah and I are, yes, it is winter, though today was unseasonably warm. Maybe the weather will throw us a curveball and give us some crazy concoction of seasons in one day.
v Four Seasons in One Day... *grins*

^ Melbourne is famous for that, yes.> It was too hot today :( It was even warmer yesterday.
v Though we had a storm a few minutes ago, and that was awesome :)
^Cool. We've had a mild summer. Hopefully that will mean snow this winter.
>Last winter was pathetic. Not nearly enough snow, just flurries that didn't amount to anything whatsoever.
v Hot or cold weather?
>Last winter was pathetic. Not nearly enough snow, just flurries that didn't amount to anything whatsoever.
v Hot or cold weather?
^ Warmish.> WE HAD NO SNOW THIS WINTER
V THERE IS NO HOPE FOR MELBOURNE
^ No snow?! Well, we didn't have any good stuff last year. Not like the time it was two feet of snow.
> That was amazing.
v A winter without snow is dreadful.
> That was amazing.
v A winter without snow is dreadful.
^ I've never seen snow> I was hoping it would snow this year (since it was so cold) but no, no, no. :(
v Sad story of every Australian.
^ *sniff*
> Oh. Wow. Never? *sniff*
v COME TO AMERICA OR GO SOMEWHERE WHERE IT SNOWS, GIRL!
> Oh. Wow. Never? *sniff*
v COME TO AMERICA OR GO SOMEWHERE WHERE IT SNOWS, GIRL!
^ MEWANTS TO. And yep, never.> SERIOUSLY, I DO. BUT. IT. IS. TOO. EXPENSIVE!!
v My cousin's going to the US in a few weeks. They offered to take me but Mum said no :'(
^ IKR!!! I've never flown before 'cause of the ridiculous (resists temptation to put "riddikulus") prices.
>I've gone on a 3-day car ride, but never a plane.
v Oh well.
>I've gone on a 3-day car ride, but never a plane.
v Oh well.
^ *sigh*> I've been on planes heaps but never out of the South. Mostly to Tasmania because we have family there and once to New Zealand... because we have family there.
v But nowhere drastic :/ I need to go to Scotland...
^ I would love it if I could go to England or Scotland.
>Or anywhere outside the country, for that matter.
V If you could visit anywhere in the world, all expenses paid for by a friend, where would you go?
>Or anywhere outside the country, for that matter.
V If you could visit anywhere in the world, all expenses paid for by a friend, where would you go?
^ Scotland.> Hands down.
v It's the place I've always wanted to go to. Even as a gangly young child, I used to dream about the Scottish mountains and valleys :)
^That. Would. Be. Amazing. Scotland is beautiful. TAKE ME WITH YOU!!! =P
>And, Scottish accents...love them!
V It's hard to decide where I'd go.
>And, Scottish accents...love them!
V It's hard to decide where I'd go.
^ Well, then, come with me to Scotland> *sigh* Mum won't take me
v *dreamy sigh* Scotland...
^Here's an idea, save up you're money, do some odd jobs, and then tell you're mom you'll pay for you're plane ticket!
>How can she say no to that?
V All you need now is a job...
>How can she say no to that?
V All you need now is a job...
^ Busking. That's my job. Playing violin for a living.> I have told Mum that I will skip any future school camps so I can go to Scotland
> She's thinking about it
^ Awesome job! I don't play, sadly.
>I do quite fine with babysitting.
V Eventually I'll publish *glances at book she wrote at age ten sitting in the corner collecting dust* this book and get income there.
