 well considering i just found out that im NOT the only one who is reading my blog i thought i might as well update it. its sunday night and i am buggerd. afew hours ago i came back from the adventure club kayak trip wich was absolutly brilliant! though my arms, stamach musscles, and shoulders are in pain it was totaly worth it. White water kayaking is not only exciting but daderous, considering i fell in the water about half way down the white water i was in more trouble (aside for the fact i hadnt had my helmet done up) i was headed for a massive rock. i was stuck in the middle of the river upside down in white water. i can not atempt to convey fear rushing through me. though i had capsized almost ahundred time in the pool practice sessions on the occational lunch time, i stressed and started to panic. i completly forgot how to get out the kayak safely. its realy difficult to get in and out of a kayak so if you consider the circimstances i had a valid reason to panic. getting stuck in upside down in white water, rocks everywhere, and my helmet undone was well.. freaky! fortunatly i got out and swam to the bank (against the current) with my boat and ore and waited for assistance. I forgot to mention that was the easyer of the two obsticals we were to face. I picked up my boat and walked to the top of the first obsical and tryed again. got through safely (with my helmet done up this time, and headed towards the harder of the two. watching that rapid water crash against the rocks got my heart racing and blood pumping, i ignored the little voice in my head to stop and kept going. I DID IT!... intill.. i got excited... in the last little section i accendently lent too far and rolled over. i NEARLY GOT IT! i was so disapointed i didnt get it and there was no time to go back and try agian. next year i'll do it. ill do it ahunderd times over. 
I did however go down both rapid in the tyre/ donut thing. it was brillian. 8 of us made this train thing and went down togther. soooo much fun!!

school tomoro, which im looking forward to considering all assesments are out of the way and there isnt much pressure. tuesday is girls house aths and boys house preforming arts. ill be attending the boys arts becuase im taking photos for the editorial (synthia hates me cause she realy wanted to see it). so im looking forward to that. wed is causal clothes .. which will probably be a problem becuase i dont know if i have any clean clothes lieing around anywhere.. .

nothing else to report on 
Hoda :D

casual clothes., school, house activities, kayaking
