The Weather!

So right now its getting colder and colder in NY, and many people aren't happy about that. We'll i'd like to let you know that you should be happy! Right now its getting hotter and hotter by the day. seriously! yes it is nice the fact that i wear shorts and a t-shirt everyday! but at the same time its only spring! and its this hot! right now its 86 degrees. which is alright, but the sun is just so bright that it feels so much worse!

Canoe Trip

So this past week, i went on the Outdoor Ed canoe trip. we paddled for about 70 kilometers. and i haven't figured what that is in miles yet, but i'll do that at one point. but its a lot of miles and it was a lot of fun. but very tiring. and a lot of hard work. Everyday we would wake up, pack up everything, eat breakfast, canoe ALL day, get to the campsite by the evening, then we'd set up our tarps to make a tent like thing. we had to dig a toilet, and start a fire. then we would cook dinner, and by then it'd be pretty late in the night, after that we would go to bed and wake up do it all again. During they day we took some breaks, and had lunch and such, because it was just hot and tiring we could NEVER make it all the way through no breaks. especially on the days we did 20 or so ks. but overall it was a lot of fun. It was 5 days, and we couldn't shower for those days so that was the longest i've ever gone without a shower! but as soon as i got home i got to shower! :D

so i converted the kilometers to miles and 70ks is 43.49 miles.

Next week

So next week i'm going on a week long canoe trip with my outdoor ed class. and we are seiously going on the outdoors. we have to carry EVERYHING we bring with us! were not allowed to burn any rubbish or anything because that's not very outdoorsy of us! and were in outdoor ed class. so we must bring all rubbish with us. we have to bring all the water we'll drink, and use for teeth brushing and cleaning our plates etc. for a week with us. so were suppose to bring 20litres of water. we have to bring all the food we'll bring with us. were only sleeping on tarps. and everything we bring must fit into the canoe. also its not just one persons stuff in the canoe. its 2 or 3 peoples stuff in one canoe. we dont get to shower for the entire WEEK!!!!! ahh!!! its seriously the outdoors. every day we get to the campsite area. build a fire. put up out tarps. and then cook dinner. it should be a lot of fun! but very different then anything i've ever done!!!

also seriously you'd never believe australia was in a drought if you came down here and saw all the rain that's been pouring down! seriously its insane! its been just rain constantly!!!! its been the first time in over 10yrs that they've had this much rain. last year they didnt have one drop of rain in september and october. and this year there's been heaps and heaps of rain!!!!

Tatura

On saturday all the inbound and outbound exchange students meet up in tatura (which is a town thats about 20 mins away from me.) it was basically a time to get together and have fun, so we all put on a talent show, and hung out. talked, basically just had lots of fun because we like it. But it was a great weekend! any rotary weekend is a good weekend!

Albury

So this past weekend i went up to Albury to visit my friend Adrian. He's the outbound exchange student going to upstate N.Y. we just found out he's going to Oneonta. Albury is a town thats about 3ish hours away. i didnt sleep like the entire weekend. which made the sunday when i got home a long day, also with moving and everything i was beyond tired when night came around. But it was a pretty good weekend. i got to see around albury and that was a lot of fun. And hung out with exchange kids which is always a good time. So overall great weekend!

I'm loving living at the kerwins. its so much fun! i'm busy all the time, and the days and nights go by so fast. It's insane.
