Everybody got everything? All the supermarkets and department stores would've run out of the good stuff by now. Argggh.

Stuff I still need:
  • Liquid Paper (why do we never seem to have enough?)
  • Shorthand notepads (never enough!!)
  • Folders. Display and those button ones, if anybody knows what I'm talking about.
  • Small straight ruler (pencil-case size... I need it to be straight)
  • More red pens. Never enough red ink.
  • Staples!
  • Corkboard pin thingys
  • Those adhesive coat hanger type things (to put up my corkboard... we can't drill into the walls lol)
  • Huge stay-at-home diary to get myself organized. Does anybody know of any good diaries? Not the ones with the 9AM-9PM schedules. I hate them. Something more practical and a simple layout. Something for HSC students for God's sake lol.
  • School shoes. Mghoiewh53.
  • School pants.
  • More high-lighters. Loads more.
  • Excel study guides. Of course :)
  • Briar Rose and Educating Rita lol Should order them right now.
Stuff I have:
  • HB Pencils (lol always first on the list!)
  • Black inkies
  • Blue inkies (too many lol)
  • Glue (still using the one from the beginning of last year lol.. we don't really glue stuff)
  • Eraser/rubber
  • Pencil case (same one..)
  • Binder folders
  • Loose-leaf lined paper
  • Calculator (same one..)
  • I guess that's it... :)
Other stuff; I don't use/need:
  • Lunchbox xD
  • Exercise books
  • Shirts (I got to school topless hella yeah!)
Did I miss anything??


EDIT: If anybody needs any books, Angus & Robertson are offering free delivery for online orders 'til Jan 31.

EDIT: I need a VAPD! lol.. Visual Arts Process Diary!

I seriously doubt that stores such as Officeworks, Big W, KMart, Woolworths, etc will run out of back to school items. So maybe they will have run out temporarily of something, but new stock arrives daily.

I'm still yet to buy everything I need. But I have a trip to Officeworks planned on Wednesday, so all should be sorted then.

lol. I actually hate shopping for stationary. I just write everything down and make my parents get it :D They've gone now to get me more stuff lol.
I just hate running out of stuff. And forgetting stuff. Like I forgot about a VAPD lol. Just checking I have everything :)

Officeworks is too far away. If you go shopping in Bankstown or Campsie, then you know what I'm talking about when I say everything's gone lol.

OMG, I could NEVER ask my mum to do that. Everything would be totally wrong.
When I ask her to buy a SPECIFIC brand of something, she gets the wrong one.
I wouldn't be able to live with it!!!!!

If you knew my parents, you wouldn't say I was overplanning. That would be a complete understatement. Besides, there is no such thing as overplanning. Planning is planning. There is extensive and detailed planning though :D
And then, of course, there is utter boredom.

I usually just go there and decide. I always get lots of pens, lots and lots of pens & highlighters.

That's precisely what my mum does. Or did rather. I go get my own stuff since I have my Ps. It saves a lot of time and confusion. And it makes me feel better with the right stuff. Doesn't make me work better though....

i object to the use of the two smiley emoticons ( :) ) in a post named "BACK TO SCHOOL CHECKLIST!!"
Otherwise the list is great.

Get parents like mine.
Mum loves stationary shopping. She does it so often that I trust her to get decent stuff without instruction.
Dad refuses to buy anything for me without specific instructions, so I write it down for him, and he gets is.
When in doubt about colour, they just get purple.

That being said, I actually like to go stationary shopping, so I whenever I need something more major than new paper for a binder, I go with them. It was really quite sad when we moved from Melbourne to a place where the closest officeworks is like, 4 hours away.

Since this year is my HSC year, my parents have been really REALLY nice about stationary. They actually let me decide what I want to get, compared to the age where it was those 20 pack bulk blue pens from Aldi that ran out every three days.

Kinokuniya is the best place for stationary ever.

I've never been there before :( I want books!
After the HSC, take me and we'll go on a shopping spree lol.

I still haven't got everything yet. It's so annoying. So much for overplanning - everybody gets in so damn early.
