Published on by Elissa CoxenLeave a comment

Monday 18/6/84

NO MORE TESTS!! Science awful 50½/70 English awful 29/40, Maths good 61½/70 German ok 42/50. Mr Van hasn’t finished marking history & I didn’t have art or BP. Am quite upset about Lucy’s coffee table. Mum’s going on about paying for it etc. Bought bubble gum & ice block, rode around, talked to mum rode Petra and Lysarne home after speech. Julia had a bad migraine before.

Tuesday 19/6/84

Mim, Fi & Beka & I were gonna wag the last day of the semester but can’t cos that’s when we get our reports. Cross country tomorrow YUK. 67% History overall 32/50 Oh! BP 35½/40. (70/75 so far) Art 37/40 (9½%/10%!!) Definitely decided to wag tomorrow. Gonna ring Fi now to see if she’s allowed. Started girl drawing business again (at lunchtime). Watched TV this arv. Egg-flip for tea. Tired.

Wednesday 20/6//84

Woke early – decided to go to school cos’ Fi was. Was alright. FREEZING morning – wore gloves to bus stop! Not much work today. (I’m s’posed to go to bed now but my excuse is I’ve got filthy/cold feet. CROSS COUNTRY wasn’t bad but I now know I have asthma – Got 4/5 way back when started uncontrollable wheezing. At speech mim said we’re not going late night shopping 2morrow now.

Thursday 21/6/84

Ellis won cross country yesterday; overall. Toni told me she’s wagging it – naughty. Career Ed today can only call it BORING. Went late night shopping. Put a layby on black shoes – Julia got belts & chains etc. (She) Went to a disco last night. Mum & I walked her there  Was cold.

Friday 22/6/84

Huffy with mum. I was running late she didn’t get my brekky for me so I couldn’t have any. COLD AM again Didn’t do any work at all today. AM NOT HAPPY with my report card. Science, Hist & PES are not all highs. Took a gigantic ham bone to Max. Stayed watching Heath.

Saturday 23/6/84

Rained abit at tennis. Went to our tree & after bought a yummy lunch dawdled home (at 4.30) rang mum on the way so she knew. Decided to go to Bluelight (mim & Fi sleep over after.) Am SO excited!! Can’t wait. Gonna wear pinafore, white shoes, bangles, mima’s mum’s black esprit shirt, Jules new belt, white scarf, fingerless gloves & dog chains (Y’know the silver ones) – ≡ Was Unreal! Rebecca P came & went with us. A boy she didn’t even know & she ended up dancing close to him. Thought Mark R. looked at me strangely must be my imagination. Nothing good happened to me but mim was followed around by two guys, one ‘Gavin’ from TAS & ‘Liam’ from CHS – Also a ½ mongoloid guy (Mark) from TAS like Fi & kept asking her to dance. Poor girl – god I’m mean.

Sunday 24/6/84 A Life in Words

Played a game all morning, went to shop, ate, rode and decided to sleep at Fi’s in hammocks. Fed St Cloud’s cats – had a fag & 1st drag. Is REEEEVOLTING FOUL. Didn’t sleep in hammocks tho’ cos’ weren’t any. Stayed up late (1 fag & requested songs (3) only Fi’s – “Let’s Hear it for the Boy” was played.)

Monday 11/6/84

Woke late. Are all very tired and lazy. Slept with mim cos’ mattress on the floor was sandy: Packed up and went to the old museum – boring. Driving home, stopped at Palmer River Station 4 lunch. Boring drive home. Dropped mim off. I watched Sons & Daughters and went to bed at 9:00. AM EXHAUSTED!!

Tuesday 12/6/84

Was SICK!! Luckily missed out on my science exam (which according to Rebecca P is very hard.) Soon as I woke, felt sick. No brekky – when Toni came, chucked up my orange juice. Felt better then so went to school on bus – felt sick again. Going to ring mum at office, chucked up under a bush. Mick took me home. Spewed 4 times today.

Wednesday 13/6/84

yesterday felt better around 3:00. Talked to Lysarne & Rebecca P. Had dry toast with honey & 2 grated apples! Kept ’em down! Today felt heaps better. Poured at bus stop – english was pretty easy – maths competition was hard and science was quite easy. Came home in pouring rain, after speech, updated BP – but didn’t study – and I have maths (OH NO) Art (okay) & History (Hell!) They could all be quite hard. Tell ya later

Thursday 14/6/84

Maths and Art – a synch BUT I just know I flunked History. It was liking giving a 2 Yr old a uni-test. Besides that, I’ve just been to Freshy School viewing films of Julia’s Lizard Is. Camp. Not many shots of Julia, but the one she was in the boys made finger shadow like pinching her bum!

Friday 15/6/84

Shane was there last night. I don’t know if I like him anymore /// BP was good, german was better, but the best thing is no more exams!! Rode to shop this arvy, met Karen and walked her home. Ms Chant said I could hand in my BP book on monday instead. Thank God! Julia’s staying at Dad’s. I’m having a pretty early night considering its Friday.

A Life in WordsSaturday 16/6/84

Rode to tennis – think I’m allowed now. Rang mum & told her I was going to town. Had ripper fun!! Got clothes 4 mima’s – had tacos for tea which was too hot 4 me to eat! Watched 3 movies. Really tired. Movies – Alligator, Class Reunion & Polyester which you can smell 2!! scratch’n’sniff card comes with it.

Sunday 17/6/84

Got to sleep ~ 2:00 worse – woke about 5:00 (3hrs sleep) Dozed til 9:45 Beka had been waiting outside for ½hr, we found out – umah! Anyhow watched Alligator again (3rd time) for Beka, cleaned up, went to Lucy’s about 11:30. Watched “Hostage” (true story) Had a ‘gala’ lunch & played a ruff-tuff game. I sat on the glass coffee table and it broke. I feel absolutely terrible (Had a smoke – they were “Drum” roll-your-own! UMAH!
