This blog is a little something of everything because after all, everyone is a little something of everything. And me? I'm all that jazzz, 1993.

Welcome Bloggers and a special welcome to the birthday girl if she is reading this.

Birthdays are awesome. I hope you had a great one T. Here are some fun facts about the day before Halloween, the 30th of October. In a normal year, the 30th of October is the 303th day. It is the day before Halloween.

Sorry that this blog is so short. I'll put up a photo with it sometime.

Until then, keep smiling.

Welcome Bloggers, having fun procrastinating? I am too.

Exams, assignments, essays, homework. Oh no! I know how close exam block is for all of us, whether we are in it now, it rounds the corner or we are bracing ourselves for it. It is stressful. However let's make sure we aren't too stressed.

Life is a balance beam and sometimes we fall off but we aren't that far from the ground. So yes, balance beam. I find it hard to find a balance between everything and its not easy. The truth is that it is important that we try to achieve some balance in our lives so we don't get too frustrated.

Try making a plan or keeping a diary or a schedule. If you find yourself getting to stressed out however just take a bit of a break. Maybe take a walk or sit down for a minute, get a breath of fresh air or even do something you love. A little bit of retail therapy perhaps (if you can afford it which I unfortunately can't at the moment).

So as I finish up and leave you to make the journey towards exam block by yourself I leave you with a note: Watch Out For Your Mates. Your friends will be stressing just as much as you. Get together and have a study afternoon or something.

Lastly, I leave you with the number one warning. Something that often goes under the radar: severe anxiety. I think this is a good article to read: http://www.articlesbase.com/health-articles/causes-of-severe-anxiety-and-nervous-breakdown-542944.html - don't get too stressed out and watch out for your friends if they are too stressed out. They might not be coping as well as you are.

Good Luck on all assessment and if you have a chance, check out my new posts tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

Until then; keep smiling.

Welcome Bloggers, have you fed Swimmy?

Today I had an interview to apply for the role of school captain. It was a very big deal indeed. I just couldn't help but be nervous no matter how hard I convinced myself that I wasn't. So the interview is over and it has become a case of "if only I had said that".

I wish someone had written me something inspiring to say like in the movies when they suddenly come up with a marvelous idea and everyone loves them. Maybe I could have said something like; I didn't iron my shirt for this occassion. I'm not saying I didn't take the time to present myself and I'm not saying that my shirt has not been ironed. What I'm saying is; I'm representing the school everyday. I didn't go to a lot of trouble to present myself because I wear my clothes with pride every day.

It isn't a lie. It is something 100% true about myself. If you aren't being yourself then what do you have left? You have to be yourself and you have to be proud of who you are. I wasn't trying to be something I'm not when I turned up to the interview and I'm certainly not claiming to be perfect. I was myself.

So my word of the day - what I really wanted to talk about: Perfect... and Perfection.
I asked dictionary.com what it thought about this word...
"excellent or complete beyond practical or theoretical improvement".

Perfection. I do not claim to own or possess it and I wonder exactly why there is such a word. Can anything really ever be perfect? Be 100%? Perhaps a mark on a test; but is what the test said perfect? More to my point, can anyone ever be perfect?

What do you see when you look at yourself in a mirror? Is it perfect? Does it matter?
I'm beginning to think it doesn't. In my next blog I'm tossing up whether to post a story about perfection, an issue about anxiety or do a blog about photography. We'll see.

Until then; keep smiling.

Welcome to the first real entry I've posted.

Today, Tuesday; I attended all my subjects at school only to tune out constantly due to lack of sleep. I was excited to get home though, not because I could sleep but, so I could go shopping with mum. I bought a superman shirt, yay. I'm going to a halloween party in a few days (one of my best friends; Tez - its her birthday party actually - I'll have to do a birthday post for her)! My outfit will be something along the lines of this (mind you, we'll have heads):

Tom and Jaz In a few blogs time I'm hoping to do a tutorial on making Just Jaz Logos. It is a simple little trick that you can use in photoshop all the time. Not long afterwards I'll hold a competition for the best Just Jaz Logo (when I have more readers).

Until then; keep smiling.
