Swimming Sports

On the 18th of February at my school we had the school swimming sports. At the sports each student has been put into a house. And I've been asked so many times like in harry potter?!?! yes in a way, we get put into a house and the four are green,yellow,blue and red. We don't have names like in harry potter, some schools do, or anything else, but we have colours. During the swimming sports, we go down to the kyabram pool, and everyone is dressed up pretty crazy in they're house's coulors. All my friends and i painted ourselves in our colours and 5 showers later i stil have green on me. It was completley worth it though. During the day they have different races going on. I participated in the 50metre breast stroke and the boat races. I came 1st in the breast stroke, and in the baot races you work as a team of 8. You have 4 guys and 4 girls on a team. One person's in the boat, and the other's behind it and pushing it. Each pair paddles 25 metres. As a team we technically came 4th, however since one of the other teams were disqualified we ended up coming 3rd. Which worked well since the 3rd ribbon is green, and we were the green team! This day was a lot of fun! and quite warm! Wish we did this back in NY!

2 Birthday parties, and footy game - 1 weekend

This past weekend has been pretty busy. It was lots of fun though. On Saturday morning/early afternoon, i managed to keep myself busy skyping with my family, and some friends, and getting ready for the night. Around 5 i went over to my friend Kara's house. Our other friend Serena was already there and we just were waiting out our other friend Aj. After she came we got ready for the parties, and then went to the Kyabram Club for the first birthday party. It was for our friend Ebony who had flown down to visit her dad, from Queensland. That was lots of fun, but then the time came and we went to our other friends party. Kara's mum drove the 4 of us to Scott's house for his birthday. Was very loud, is basically how i can sum it up. We had fun though. After his party, the 4 of us went back to Kara's house for the night. We got about 6 hours of sleep that night, and then i was going to Melbourne afterwords. When i got picked up, we stopped back at the house to get some stuff to bring with us, and then we went to Melbourne. Had lunch, and then a Starbucks. then went to the footy! it was sooo much fun! except sadly Geelong lost, but they didn't play they're greatest. they really only had 1 quarter where they were they're full potential, but they also have had the shortest time between seasons since they won the grand final. The team they played against (north Melbourne) had lots of time between the seasons, and were a lot more prepared for this game. After the game we came back home, got home around 10, watched house for a bit. and then around 12 i finally got to bed. I'm still very tired and during school today i kept falling asleep.

Dookie Weekend

On the 13th of feb we had a dookie day which was for the rebounds and inbounds. It was more for the rebounds to get back to see everyone and such, but all of us inbounds came and we talked more about our rock to reef trip. Which is by the way in less than 6 weeks! It was a great day, sadly it wasn't an overnight one, but we did get to see the exchange students we had met back in our home countries. Sicne it was mostly for rebounds all the inbouunds we got to hang out and just talk most of the time. and truthfully all we ever want to do is just talk and hang out.

First weekend of Feb

The first weekend of feb was beyond amazing! i was able to skype with my family so that was a lot of fun. I helped zoe out on an audition piece she needed to prepare. Later on saturday i had some friends come over and stay. there were 3 from school, and we had lots of fun fun playing board games. After dinner, it was about 7:30-8 we were going to go swimming but we decided instead we'd play tennis and then swim. Since we were in our bathers we got a TON of bug bites. The next few days we were all itching so badly, afterwards we swam for a bit. it was a fun night

The First week of feb

So feb has been flying by, and yes i know its the shortest month of the year, but still its just a bit insane.I started school on the first of feb, which was good. seeing everyone again. The part of waking up isn't so fun, but i guess i'm slowly getting into the swing of it. On the 2nd of Feb, i went to my first dance lesson here, which was fun! missed dancing a lot so i was glad to get to do that. I had rotary, and my first rehearsal for the school production. I'm just a singer, but i dance in parts of it, but i wanted a very small part because i will be gone for so many practices.
