jessica's jocoserious musings

 Hello my muses,  A month into the school year and I'm already feeling pretty exhausted. Whenever I think about the long list of things I need to do, my head spins and my stomach churns. So I try not to think about it :D Although we have our jackets, kitchen privileges and locker area, I still don't feel like a year 12 student. It's still dizzying to see my year level sit on the year 12 side of the senior study area, and don't get me started on the jackets. Every time I see someone in one, I do a double take and realise that they are actually in my grade. A little thing I love about this year is the small wedge between the wall and the lockers because it's the perfect spot for my friends and I to sit in during lunch and recess. We even have a handy dandy fire extinguisher! Right now, school is feeling quite dull but there are a lot of upcoming events in the next couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to the athletics carnival especially since we already have our c...

 Hello my muses,  I present to you a short collection of poems written by me. Some new, some old, but still gold all the same.  Chasing Nothing Two years conversing in my head,   Fl eeting glances with nothing to be said.  Not loved enough, not lucky enough, This silly little game, forever dying like an extinguished flame. Now when we cross paths I can only reminisce, Feelings for you gone with a wand and a flick of the wrist. Looking back at the feats I performed for your attention, Always shooting arrows without that much precision. Only to come out feeling terribly lame,  Admitting defeat in a one player game. Extra Little 'e' I say my last name's Le, They misjudge me. Spell it L-e-e, That extra little 'e'.  Don't tell me it's lucky, You were just wrong, sorry. Now it's going to follow me, That extra little 'e'. Mocked by Time The sky was turning that shade of blue, The one that signals the end of the day. The sun was sinking into the ground, ...

 Happy Valentines my muses 💗 We've already finished week three of the school year. So far, I've been, for the most part, keeping on top of my school work and even started tuition cuz I need alllll the help I can get this year... Lowkey terrified for the end of the year but I try not to think about it.  Production season has officially started! Auditions are next week and I don't really know what role I want to go for yet (maybe Pinocchio??) but I think I have a good audition song ready! Oh by the way, if I haven't mentioned it yet, we are doing Shrek the Musical this year. I'm like halfway through watching it and the sets and costuming is kinda insane. Idk how we are going to pull it off but in Ms Adams we trust!!  Also today I went to interschool sports to play volleyball. It was a very last minute decision but I'm really glad I agreed to do it. Doing interschool sports allowed me to talk to a lot more people in my grade than I would have normally at school wh...

Hello my muses, Welcome to the first post of the year! Parts of this post was written throughout January when I was in Vietnam (see purple text) but I will be adding more now that I am home to fully encompass this very eventful first month of the year.  2025 is off to a pretty interesting start. My family and I watched the fireworks by the beach and now we are overseas in Vietnam! The flight was pretty bad because I got food poisoning beforehand and spent the whole ride in insane stomach pain. I’m all better now so I can fully enjoy this holiday. We’ve already visited so many places and a lot of our distant relatives. I love learning about their stories and how we are somehow connected. My great great aunt has this picture in her bedroom of when she was 17 years old and it looks so much like me. Or I guess I look so much like her? It was actually kinda insane and very surreal. Later this month, we will be celebrating Lunar New Year which I’m very excited for! Sometimes I wish I gre...
