Hi,

In honour of the last two weeks of the school year when only the year eight’s and nine’s are left at my school, and the teachers divide your grades turnout of about sixty students out of a possible hundred and fifty into two groups, stick you into a computer room and pretend to supervise you, I have complied the following list:

Things to do in class when you’re so bored you start to write letters to imaginary people.

1. Actually write letters to imaginary people.
2. Find as many internet IQ tests as you can and challenge your friends.
3. Colour a bit of paper, shred the ends, wind it around your pen, sticky tape it in place and decorate. Have a fashion parade and/or beauty pagent with your friends and their pen friends.
4. Have a Mr. Squiggle, noughts and crosses, hangman and SOS tournament with as many people as you can rope in.
5. Ask your teacher if you can write on the white/black board.
6. Write ‘a is for apple, b is for banana etc…’ with your bad hand.
7. List as many song lyrics as you can think of.
8. Arm/thumb wrestle
9. Check your email.
10. Plan all the fabulous things you’ll do once you’re on holidays, for six glorious weeks.

The only ones I actually did was the noughts and crosses, hangman, arm wrestles, check my email and plan my holidays.

But whatever. I’m on holidays now, so that’s all that matters. So far all I’ve done is get totally waterlogged and hang out at my friends place. Mind you, I have been cleaning my room, so that makes me feel a bit like I’m actually getting something done. It really needed a good clean though, because I haven’t dusted for about four months and all my junk was starting to get piled up on my desk. I really hope Mum doesn’t read this.

It’s been the nicest day on the Gold Coast. I’m actually starting to believe the saying thing: beautiful one day, perfect the next. Although yesterday was nicer than today, on account on the whole clouds pouring in in the afternoon. Dad and I drove past the beach earlier, and it looked absolutely gorgeous. So about an hour ago, we went for a swim.

I’m going to go jump in the pool, so bye.
