Mother nature chases away the summer!

Just as a quick note, I've added more photos onto my facebook. Check it out if you want, but I won't post the link because I can't be bothered. The past week has been pretty gloomy. After a week (two weeks ago) of having the air-con on cold for extensive periods of time, the temperature suddenly drops, the sun decides to take a week off and leave the people of Sydney to freeze their ears off. Of course, the hugest tragedy recently would be the Victoria Bushfire. My heart goes out to them and I pray that the death toll stops going up soon, which has climbed almost to 200, if not further, as far as I've heard.

Anyway, the completely opposite weather up here in Sydney was, as I said before, very dreary: the rain brought the cold and kept it that way, the sun only coming out behind the clouds every now and then. The past week has been fast and slow at the same time for me. Monday, we had Ag, where we discussed calf pregnancies and like, fertility, and so on. The prac. session allowed for me to take photos. Adeeb made an insult at Justin when Justin asked Houweling, "How much do they make?", 'where he meant how much sperm did bulls make?', to which, Adeeb responded, "Not that you make much." This resulted in a fast quip from Houweling, "How would you know?" I leave it at that nad leave you to your laughter, if you are.
Last period of IST, Hundt landed us with a pop-quiz on what we've "learnt" in class from the pdf. The class hated him even more after that. I was able to see Eneyi and Sebastian at the bus stop, whom I haven't seen in a while.

Tuesday, Creating Connections. Again, Edward continued to pester me and Amy, along with the other CC leaders. After a lengthy tower building session, to which everyone won Asian lollies, our group and a few other kids participated in a short lived game of Fruit Salad. English was a memorable occasion, where Lucy C. commented, "Things that I have in my hand go in my mouth" after Ms Young asked why she was biting on her pen lid.

Wednesday came and went fairly quickly, where the school day ended with a game of cricket (sorry Wendy). Thursday was, again, another day full of unrecallable memories...or was it?? No. Thursday was the day of the SWIMMING CARNIVAL!! I admit, not the most exciting of carnvials I've been to, since there was NO free swim, it rained, deterring people from racing in the events, and other things. Nonetheless, though, it was a fun day. In accordance with the Wentworth in Wonderland theme, I went as the Mad Hatter, wearing a large tophat, stripped T-shirt and 80s skinny tie, I also wore my short jeans backwards and mismatched shoes and socks. On the day, I greeted many a 'Happy un-Birthday', to which some had no idea what I was going on about.
The highlight of the day for me would have to be the cheering contest. I know it might sound weird, but during that time, I felt so powerful and alive with all of the cheering, which was moreover shouting. It was lots of fun. The other thing which was equally as fun was mosh-ing to Poker Face, Electric Feel and other songs. Once the day was out, people emptied out in the rain to the train station or to the front of the school.

Friday: I was obviously brain-dead when I woke up because I went to school prepared for a Day 6. When it was Day 5. *sigh*. Today, the school had an early celebration of Valentine's Day, where roses and singograms were being handed out and sung away, along with special Valentine foods sold at the donut quad. Most of my classes at least a third of people were missing since a lot of people of were "helping" with all the things going on. After assembly, recess was spent mainly in the music room with Corrine, Paige, Cameron, Eric, and for a brief time, Rayan and Andy. Most of the time there was spent listening to music whilst waving our hands in the air or swaying side to side.
Only 10 people were left at the end of Jap, where we learned that 'joy' said in a certain way is swearing in Cambo. During lunch, roses were floating around, both red and white. Going off on my own (since my friends were doing their own thing because it was Valentine's. I won't mention names) to the Valentine's stall, I was hungry for some themed food, only to discover they sold out. The bulk of lunch I spent in the room where they organized the roses and songs, sticking with Richard and Donald who were playing CIA (or rather stalking) Kelvin because apparently he was going to give a rose to someone.
Fifth period came, and in Ag, Jeffrey graced us with his prescence, to which Houweling was surprised to see his since he was always in China. After a video and some sheets, we moved on to last period, only to find out that the rooms were wrong and last period was being held in our fifth period room. During the class, Sex Bomb was sung to Baxter, Lauren got a lap dance from Kale and Shane, Amy got a dance from Diana and Kassy got a song, too (I don't remember them). We received our SF4 HW books, and sheets. And that was all.

Thus ends my recollection of this week. Reminders of events I missed are welcome. Just as a footnote, last night on Friday I went out with the family to a restaurant called Pancakes on the Rocks, they have very delish food. That's all I'll type for now. See you around.
