long, amusing car trips homethe “soul team” part was great, but also hanging out with the guys was awesome!! we had a great time…
we spent about 4 out of the 6 hour car trip in histerics… forrect gump impersinations, matts lame jokes, references to many toilet and sexual humour… very very fun!!!
it tired me out!!
well, thats the abridged version

Tamworth
luke
im going to tamworth, it’ll be good to get away from my busy life for a while (though i will have to admit that i will be doing my music assignment whilst i am away)
i cant wait for next year!! my life will be more in the control of my own hands, with only one sixth of my time set aside for education controled by the sacreligious institution of a school, the other 5/6ths will be my own self determinated learning, about stuff which i want to learn about…
i hope i make it to nationals next year; because then i would have the chance to qualify to go overseas to the world champs; i would love to go overseas, in the last 12.5 years i have only been to fiji for a week, and thats it… i love europe…
yesterday i was really tired, we had a sausage sizzle at school and i did most of the cooking… for 700 students!!! it was quite a mission… it ended being an over 3 hour effort! i didnt feel like going to the small group social because i have so much to do, and it was single sex again, which is hard because last weekend beth was in melbourne, and this weekend i will be in tamworth, that means i wouldnt hae seen her for ages, and that is really hard… we only have a mixed sex social once a term…
last nite none of my friends from school that i invited ended up comming… they’re so lazy… its weird, they always used to be very activly social people, never used to choose to stay at home over going out… and now they would?!?
i really better get going, im leaving soon

this is my december
luke
well, actually this is a post about my wednesday (such a random word wednesday, i never spell it right…)
so therefore i will post this as if it was wednesday nite, when i intended to post it
well, ive had what you would call a rather interesting day…
it all started with missing both alarms and waking up late, but still managing to get ready for rowing on time… including packing lots of food for the day,
next, i arrived at rowing to do the 5km time trial which we do every week, and no one but adam and i (and some random guy that was sent down to open the boat shed) were there… so we waited 15 min and the guy sent us upstairs to do a weights session… which is really anoying because i really wanted to row in the double… even if it was pouring
i had a pretty interesting day at school too, pretty bludgy periods, and my maths teacher was away, so we had maths in the art room and i played a very long game of boxes…
then it got more interesting when we went to rowing, we were running accross main roads several times, “the bus comes at this stop”, “no it comes here”, ‘look. theres the bus!!”
so after catching three buses, doing a fair bit of walking, visiting 4 sets of shops… we arrived at rowing…
so we had to try and get the big sweep oars out the back door, which was a major mission!!
and then we put the boat out on the water… then as soon as we had done that, it started pouring… so we all stripped down to our zooty’s (cept monty who is yet to get one) so that we wouldnt get hyperthermia and adam ran (like a monkey) all our dry stuff inside…
instead of doing a proper warm up, we did all four warming up…
we were warming up, as a huge manly fery came close to us and washed us off pretty badly…
***FOR ALL THE SKIM READERS WHO WANT TO KNOW THE EXCITING STUFF***
just as the fery went around the corner, we continued our warm up…
then we hear the sound of a massive engine…
tom shouts out “thats the bloddy boat who keeps comming out and washing people off, get his boat name…”
i turn around and shout to monty and adam “get his boat name”
monty: “what?”
luke (turning around): “get his… damn!!!”
tom: “that boat is comming strait for us”
luke: “he hasnt seen us”
so the boat going at least double the speed limit, driving neglagently and on the wrong side of the river heads strait for us…
at that moment, we all have thoughts running through our heads… mine being:
- i hope monty doesnt bail… coz if he does, i am dead for sure
- ive had a good life, i wouldnt mind ending it here
- i cant bail, my oars on the wrong side
- casey is gone for sure
just then it comes, just missing our heads, breaking oars, and almost killing casey (and the rest of us)
had we been 20cm close, we would be dead
***damn the bell just rang***

oh… im really really anoyed, ive been waiting all year to see the lion king with school… looking forward to it heaps… and it turns out, either they didnt get my money, or it was lost, or something of the sort, and we’re going next wed, and i dont have a ticket…
its really really anoying!!!
i really want to see it…
maybe ill just try and see it with friends sometime, but that’ll take forever to get a ticket!! and what if no one wants to go
oh well… gotta love public schools
Public Education… The Way to Go
