Dookie!!!!

So i just got back from Dookie, which is a college in Australia. It's where rotary district 9790 has their rotary weekends which are sooo much fun! I am beyond tired but if i sleep now i'll never be able to tonight, so i'm doing my best to stay awake. However i have gone 31 hours without sleep. There were only like 4 people i think who actually made the whole time. there were a bunch more who snoozed on and off for a tiny bit, but it doesnt count. i mean we were 100% in it. at 5 am we decided to start dancing to the macarina and the chicken dance, and many other things. oh and the hooky pookie! australia does the hooky pookie wrong! big big debate on it, and we finally agreed that we were equally wrong, however america was closer on that one and got a point. It's kinda this inside joke between australia and america. Its this on going thing about how you pronounce words, and spell it, and many other little differences. But its just between america and australia. Great fun! but this weekend i meet all the other inbound students and the outbound and it was so weird being an inbound. i'm so use to be calling an outbound that its sometimes still strange to be called the inbounds. But the inbounds have more fun, so its better! Anyways, overall those days were great! still feels like a saturday, and i have to admit that during the presentations this morning the 4 of us were falling asleep on and off. well not completely because there were rotarians watching. however many other people were complaining about being tired, but they didnt hold the record for the night so they dont count. During the middle of the night at about 1:30am we all started to get very hungry, we were having an hour by hour countdown to when breakfast was happening. then comes around breakfast and were all in a conversation and were having so much fun that we forgot about it. Then one kid is like, WAIT! the time?! and were like ten till 8!!! and we all jumped up and ran down the hill to the dinning area. When we got there all the doors were locked, so we just started to bang on the doors. we finally got in, and ate sooo much food. Even though it was only 30 some hours, we did a lot of work within that, and so we were just soo tired by the morning. cannot wait for dookie in november!
