Number Ten: Ranks and Late Night Shopping

So UAI came out today. I got 93.75, and yes, I am super happy with that; it is exactly what I deserve.

I hope that all of my friends are satisfied with their marks. I know there are people out there who are beating themselves up about the UAI they received as it was not up to their expectations, and I'm not going to give a speech about it all being OK and that "there's plenty of ways to get into Uni if you don't meet the initial standard". Because you know what; today is about me. I'm happy with my ranking, and it's not my job to either praise you or cheer you up. I am proud of my friends who achieved sky-rocketing heights, but this day is all about me and my future. And now, I feel ready to move on to the next chapter in my life in full confidence that I have prepared myself enough in the past for the strains of University.

My other happenings for today was my late night shopping experience. Tonight at Westfields the shops all stayed open until midnight, and because I had to pick-up my mother from her work at said time, I decided to catch a movie with Geoff and then meet Hayley at 9pm. I never realised the extent of loitering-ism that occurs in or outside the Plaza. I thought the whole emo phase was over, but there were at least 50 of them all smoking and showing off their new holes and blasting death metal from the small speakers on their mobile phones. Then there are the metro boys with their pink button up shirts, short shorts and monstorous "party boy" sunnies. And then there's the infestation of butches who wear skater shorts and male Cotton On print T-shirts.

Penrith is such a diverse place.
