Ra ha ha…

Hello

How convenient. 40 minutes in business technology to ‘occupy ourselves’. Hey, it beats the speed and accuracy tests we were doing.
Useless trivia: in the last half hour my typing speed’s gone from 26.2 to 29.6. Yay.

On the weekend we’re going away, to Midginbill Hill. It’s in New South Wales near a town called Uki. You’ve gotta be careful when you go past Uki though, coz if you blink you might miss it. It’s cute though. I think last time we went past it, there was a car in a tree. How someone managed that I’ll never know.

Midginbill Hill is where I had my year seven camp. It was really fun. We went horse riding up big scary hills and made rafts that fall apart. Some of my friends still have fond memories of their raft, the S.S. Dilapidated.

We did archery, too, that was really fun, cause we did it in groups of six, which was good because you get heaps of goes.

About a year after school camp, we went back there with a big group of friends. I have to say it was way more fun, cause we were there with my best friends, and we spent the whole time in the pool and on the suspension bridge we found, both of which were out of bounds on camp. Also fun was sitting in the back of one of the dad’s utes with all the girls and driving all over the dirt road and down hills really fast. Okay, it probably wasn’t all that fast, but it felt it.

I’m feeling really nauseous right now, because in Home Ec., which I had last period, we had our chocolate making day, so we all tried one another’s food, as we always do. Bad idea. I should have put my rum-less rum balls in the fridge and refused anything that was offered to me. I’m an idiot. A very sick feeling idiot.

But I did scrape an A for my rum-less rum balls, though, so I must have done something at least resembling something intelligent at some point. Although that smart- resembling thing mustn’t have been getting half a rum-less rum ball stuck to the front of my shirt. I was totally wearing an apron though, so I have no idea how that happened.

I have Japanese next, which is good. We’ll just work on our booklets and bludge the rest of the lesson. Japanese is good because all my friends are in there. Like, literally all my friends. Well, almost anyway.
Okay, I should go,
Bye

PS I’m gonna have to post this later, cause I can’t remember my user name and password to get into blogger. But I will post it. Soon. If I remember.

I’m sorry, but I just had to say that.

Hey

Oh my gosh, how slack am I?
I didn’t write last weekend, even though I fully try to do it every Saturday when everyone’s at cricket (suckers). But it’s not like I had anything to write about anyway.

But now I do, so that’s good.

Okay, yesterday the year 12’s left so it was all a bit psycho at school. My friends got egged on the way to school, there’s graffiti all over the Home Ec block and loos and glue in all the locks (totally unoriginal, anyone would think last years year 12’s didn’t do exactly the same thing). So now their formal will probably be cancelled. Suckers.

It just shows though how dumb some people really are, when the police show up because a few year 12’s jumped out at an 8 year old and a 9 year old in a balaclava and scared them so much they couldn’t talk for two hours.

In other, less dumb- well, okay, probably not- news, I had my first horseriding lesson today. It was fun, I was in a group with a bunch of over- excited 9 year old girls, having a birthday party. We had a half hour lesson and then a half hour trail ride. It was so cool, all the property was really pretty. I was on Champagne, a really gorgeous, but kinda hyped up horse. I wasn’t very good at the whole getting off bit though, I kept getting my foot caught on that big hard sticking-up bit that goes behind your butt. I can’t remember what they called it.
I’ve been in and out of the pool all day. I love it now it’s fixed and the bottom is visible.
My discovery of the week: My favourite book (Noughts and Crosses) is actually a trilogy! Yay!

Geez this spell-check is driving me nuts. I AM SPELLING AUSTRALIAN, NOT AMERICAN. IF YOU’D JUST LET ME CHANGE THE SETTING TO AUSSIE ENGLISH (slang inclusive) I WOULDN’T BE SPELLING HALF AS BADLY.

Sorry, but that was really bugging me.

Anyway, I’d better go, my brownies are beeping.

Luv Laura.
