Rawr. As of Late.
Woah. It really has been a long time. ok, here's a run down of what's been happening.
I've been sick for a while now. You know, the usual, headaches, stomach aches, sore throats, laziness, general meh-I'm-sick but that's been going around. My throat is killing me now and i would have been taking this week off school but I don't want to. That sounds wierd but I actually don't want to. I have thought I've had speeches for the whole of this week but whenever i have an english lesson i just haven't had to do my speech. I really hate my speech now, it's on dogs, and i can't even remember what possessed me to write it about that, it's a really stupid topic. The speech itself isn't so bad but I just don't want to do it. And no i have an uber sore throat but definately have to do it today which like totally sucks.
We had a huge barbeque on sunday, about 50 people came and i hardly knew any of them. The first couple of hours before the food was put out was spent by the piano with kal bernie and Dan because we stuck together in that we didn't know anyone. Then, after the food had been lovingly dish out and eaten, we took all the kids from the adults and went into the room to play singstar and buzz. I won buzz the first time and was quite good at singstar but it was against little kids so i can't really say much.
On Friday I went Kayaking witht he gang and the youth group down at pandora pond which rocked my socks and whenever anyone looked like they were going to capsize me i screamed like a banshee and then we had fish and chips for tea which was really nice too and i ended up have two of them because Craig didn't want his. WOO. I have bruises from it which i don't remember getting and i assume they were from climbing back into the canoes.
This Friday it's a disco which I'm not sure I'm going to yet. It says dress formal but not overr the top and i have no idea what that means which gives me the whole oh-my-gawsh-what-the-hell-am-i-going-to-wear fiasco all over again and if i don't go it just means that I won't even have to pick an outfit, I can just stay in and watch TV in my pyjamas with a nice warm hot chocolate plastered between my hands.
My brother is leaving for England this morning. He's going for three weeks and I'm going to miss him soo much because we're really close. I'll probably cry when I'm saying goodbye to him, and then be all mopey for te rest of the day. It's not like I don't want him to have a good time, i'll just miss him and stuff. *sigh*
Saturday was eventful. Me and Shannon were trying to catch the bus into town. So first of all we went to the bus stop at the end of my road. While we were waiting, the bus came. But it didn't look like the bus we normally catch so we just sat there and didn't signal to the driver to stop so he sort of drove in to the bus stop and then back out again. It was only when he was about 10 yards away that we realised it was the right bus. So we just sat at the same bus stop until we thought another wasn't going to come and so decided we'd wait at the one down the road. We waited there for ages too, but no bus came. We went to the clocktower one, but no bus. Imagine you were us. Carrying all Shannons stuff from staying round my house the previous night. Lying on a bus stop bench counting how many personalised number plates went past and what the were.
One person shouted out that we should "Go get a f*cking house" as if we were bums, and another said "Are you runnning away from home?" We were like, "No, we're just trying to catch a bus!" In the end, we just walked all the way to shannons house but when we got there, noticed we only had five minutes until the bus came that we had to catch to finally get into town unless we wanted to wait for the 4.30pm bus which there would be no point in catching because we wuoldn't be able to catcha bus back. So. We ran all the way to the bus stop and just caught the bus to Napier. There were lots of high fives on the bus because we had finally caught one. All this trouble was because Shannon wanted to cut her hair that day and just as we got to the hairdressers they shut the doors and put the closed sign on. It was SO frustrating. I wanted to slap someone. So we went and had mcdonalds and caught the bus back, which, thankfully, was on time.
Got merit in both maths and science tests. I wanted to get excellence but oh well, atleast I passed.
Everyone in Accounting, Economics and some people from trade skills are out of lessons for yesterday today and Friday. this is because they allhave to do a boring sales thing to help them with accoutning econmics and trade skills. This would have been fun for them but they have to catch up on all the work they have missed, which means lots of homework over the weekend. I am so glad I'm not doing it. Half the people in all my classes are gone. It's great.
In history yesterday there were only eight of us. We did a test and I think I aced it. We went through it afterwards and I may have got a few wrong but all in all, I did pretty well.
Speech today, I'm not so scared now though becaus eI've had more time practise it and time it so I know I'm over the three minutes anyway. I hate talking in front of people. I'll just get it over and done with, and hope to get some laughs.
This is a very long comment. Sorry for rambling lots. =]
*sigh* I'm off then, gotta get ready for school and stuff. Toodles.
