Due to the hustle and bustle of year 10 assignments and exams, we’re going to try something new today. Today we went to the city, and I am going to do a visual blog. Although most of the stuff is not showing what we did, it should be sufficient.

Ahhh, an early end to a really stressful week. Ok guys.. forgive me for the past blogs being so shitty. You know assignments.. last minute, that sort of stuff. Most of you should know what it feels like, to do an assignment before the day it’s due (unless you’re super organised, and you start it as soon as you get it.. which i doubt is anyone).
- Unfinsihed… personal reason
Woke up fell out of bed.. dragged a comb across my head. Found my way downstairs and drank a cup, looking up I noticed I was late. Grabbed my coat and grabbed my hat. Made the bus seconds flat.
Really, stressed out with my assignments. I haven’t got my phone with me either.. so that makes it even worse. I’m really sorry guys.. for the slacking blogs. Not many people read it anymore.. for that same reason of having assignments and being to busy!
Anyway today.. sat next to “…” all day because “…” was away.
Talked for a bit.
Stayed back.
Gave my tumblr link to Mr. L again becuase I had changed it before.
and yeah.. sorry guys

Sorry guys, I have assignments so wait till monday
The last song The Beatles ever released.
You can say the idea of a retreat is to escape the daily chaos which is school, and have a day to reflect. Although you can say, today was a waste of time.. it was actually nice to go into the far distant, away from “everything”.
Ok sorry for the sentimental introduction to this entry. So I woke up struggling because SOMEONE kept me on the phone until 1:30 (Yvonne). It’s easy to imagine how 5 hours of sleep feels (I’m sure most of you who are reading this get that much sleep anyway). It took me about 20 minutes to pick out what to wear (in all honesty, i’d prefer if they’d make it school uniform.. atleast then I don’t have to worry).
I rushed out of the house, with the $8 my mom gave me and walked to the shops that are near the school. I bought a 1.25L coke and ice tea (I didn’t finish neither of the). Headed back to school and just hanged with the group until we got called to the busbay. On the way I saw Khanh, and I ended up walking with her. Of course I took some photos before getting on the bus. On the bus Isabella, Khanh and I sat on those seats that face eachother (of course, i was on the otherside by myself).
On the bus we talked, and dissed the small town of Mulgao (i think i spelt that wrong). I didn’t like it t first, but when everyone was quiet during our reflection.. it was really peaceful.
I can’t really say anything about today, because we basically.. split up, do activities, ear and then a liturgy. Oh we did watch the ending of this movie “Putting it forward”. I was getting teary, when the boy got stabbed, just by trying to help a victim of bullying. I really want to watch the rest of the movie. Looking around at people faces during the stab scene was funny in a sense. Everyone had a “:O” expression, even the HKs.
There was this one activity where we had to go around the room where numbers had been place. -3 to +3. -3 being strongly disagree and +3 meaning you have a strong agreement. The first statement was “People who don’t work should get paid”. I instantly went to +3, but the people who were at -3 were not surprising. We’re talking about the “wogs”. Their explanation on why they went to -3 was stupid and illogical. The argument people gave in -2 and 0 were fair enough, saying that people with disabilities who aren’t able a job, should be compensated. But -3 just repeated that but less concise and more simplified.
At lunch I took more photos, and played some footy. I of course had the straightest kick out there (if you were there, you’d find that funny). I think before i started playing Isabella and Khanh took my phone and took luvos in the bathroom for like 10 minutes.
Liturgy.
On the bus it was quiet.. well sort of, Steven Portolesi was there so “NYEAAHHHHHHH” was shouted out a couple times. Near end I was looknig through my songs, and Khanh said she likes Coldplay (well the older stuff). For the rest of the trip, I played songs from “Parachute” and “A rush of blood to the head”. Oh and every 5 minutes Steven Segatto, kept asking for my phone. I eventually gave it to him near end of the bus trip.
At the busbay nothing really happened, just sat with Khanh and Isabella and shared starbursts. When the bell went I walked with Yan and Isabella to the park place and Yan and I sang a few fall out boy songs. Walked home and gave Yan Assassins Creed 2
sorry if this blogs lacks the funny-ness, i’ll try tomorrow

here’s one of the photos they took in the bathroom
Wake up in the morning feeling like John Lennon. (Get it? it’s that Ke$ha song and you can’t wake up like John Lennon coz’ he’s dead.. unfortunately). Anyway.. yes today we went to the infamous Bondi Beach. Downside.. I only had 5 hours of sleep. Upside.. today was sunny, and we had fun.
Rushed to get ready, and dad drove me to school. When I got out of the car, I saw Peter and some of my other friends already there. It would of been nice to walk but oh well. When Ian arrived, we decided to walk up to the shops not to far away form school. We bought a can of pepsi and sunkist (using Ian’s money). When we came back we saw that more people started to come.
When we got on the bus, I sat next to Isabella. I thought it’d be abit awkward without Khanh being there, but it wasn’t. Throughout the trip we had little conversations. We even looked at models and said whether they were pretty or not. At the beginning of the journey I listened to my iPhone and played some games. I asked her if she wanted to have a go, but she said no :(.
When we got to the beach, as per usual we saw speedos and old men. Following that came a few jokes about boners; “pitching a tent”. 10.1 were first to go into the water, which I was great full of because it was sunny in the morning and it was better to get the wet activities out of the way.
We then split up into a group of 10. Our group consisted of; Pellz, Yan, Ku, Gabbs, Brittany, Kobey, Olivia, Marlena, Zoey and I. After putting on a “rash” shirt, walking to the beach Gabby and Ku kept complaining about their tight wet suits. Our first activity was surfing. I was pretty stoaked and getting in the water was epic. That cold rush you gut through your body when you first jump in is amazing. I think during the whole surf session, it was either Pellz or Kobey who were the most successful. I on the other hand hit Ian to many times with my board.
After surfing we all shivered and kept saying it was cold. At this point Ian and Pellz regretted not getting a wetsuit. Body boarding was not as fun, butt he water felt alot better. I flipped a few times, because of the way I was holding my board. I nearly faceplanted to.. actually I did faceplant, but it didn’t hurt. I looked from afar and saw the other groups. It was kind of funny, seeing people fail in the water.
After finishing body boarding, or boogey.. I don’t know same difference. Anyway, the weather died down and it wasn’t sunny anymore. The last activity was the Ironman challenge. I don’t include women because their specialty is within the kitchen. I was paired up with Zoe. At the start it got pretty competitive. But near end, the dikz were like cbf. Oh and I forgot to mention during the early parts of the day we saw boobs.. like real life boobs..
After all the wet activities, we got changed and had a brief recess. I took some photos and shared dorritos with the boys. Also Trung had mild dip which was an excellent compliment to the dorittos.
After lunch.. ( I said recess earlier, but it was lunch). We were doing land activities. Probably the scariest part of today. Oh man I forgot to say, that on the beach there were a few Asian tourists. And we tried as hard as possible to photobomb them. Hopefuly when they’re in Vietnam or China they cansay to their friends about the weird kids they saw at Bondi.
The land activities were cool. After a brief explanation of where we were heading, we had to cross some rigid rocks which were getting hit by crashing waves. This is when my bloody phone decided to turn off. There were so many photo opportunities, but the phone was off.
There was one point in which we had to cross this really dangerous set of rocks. My phone was with Ian, and he went first, along with a few others. I was getting worried about my phone getting soaked but it was alright. When it was our turn I for one got wet the most. I was at this rock, when I heard screams of “ANGELO HURRY UP”. I took a pause, and as i was about to continue through, a huge wave crashed and proceeded to soak my clothes. After completing the rigorous task, everyone kept saying I was wet.
The groups then split up into boy and girl, and the dikz saw more boobs on the way to the building near the beach. There was this billbaord sort of thing where you can put your head and it shows your head and a body underneath. BUT NO my phone would not turn on. After a explanation of Bondi beache’s history we walked a long the beach and then played beach flags. I think Pellers group won, but it was close. If josh hadn’t dropped the baton, they would of won.
After all this, everyone got changed.. and we headed on the buses. I sat next to Isabella again. On the bus it was pretty normal. We saw an Aston Martin (it’s a car). And nothing really happened, we shared lollies and yeah. Oh and Lily got sent off, when she tried to sneak with us.
Walked to the place where me and Ian usually stop for 10 minutes. But the other people we walk with didn’t show up so we just went.
I came home, and fucking turned on my bloody Iphone.
Good day 10.1, good day

So this morning I woke up pretty early. Surprisingly watching “The Office” all night doesn’t deteriorate your sleeping patterns! Normal Tuesday morning. Rushing to find your school socks is not fun (and pretty stupid).
Walking to school today, I felt like my life needed a change. A really big change. So what did I do? Instead of diverting to the artist section, and selecting “The Beatles”, I went to the shuffle option. And what do I hear? Of all songs.. “Hey Jude… don’t make it bad” At that point I was smiling so hard my face looked like a capital U (Open Happiness reference). Even when trying to turn away from them, they still manage to “Get Back” (i’m on fire.. 2 references in 1 paragraph!).
Anyway, I met Jay Jay “Halfway” (Wow.. I don’t even know that song, but I know it’s a song by the “Peas”.. I am on fire seriously..) walking to school. And we discussed our CoD strategies and previous games.
In period 1.. we had Peer Support instead of CAS. I quickly ran through the activities and just talked to them while playing with my iPhone ( sorry, I have to justify that my “phone” is an I phone).
Being our last geography lesson, I was kind of sad. I don’t think the half term transition is a good idea, but that’s how they want to teach us. I reckon a whole term before transition would of been better.
At recess nothing really happened. Signed up for “Open Day” with j-potts.. in which he spelled my last name wrong.
Double science was double science. 2 pracs, in which we had already done both of them. Good practice anyway.
OK HERE COMES LUNCH.. ILL SKIP TO THE PART where my friends gave me a berry from the fucking tree right next to us. Not knowing it was from there I ate it with out any hesitance. After complaining that it tasted weird, they then told me the source in which they got it from. After finding out, I ran to the bublars and just drowned my mouth in water. After that I went to look out for 50 cents. THANKFULY Hong gave me this glorious 50 cents, in which erased al ltraces of “poisonberry” (I will pay you back, don’t worry). Oh and Renmark was there to.
Sport was gay. Although.. like usual I bowled for everyone. I got pretty good scores today. About 15 strikes all around the board. Twas’ epic.
Tomorrow we go to Bondi, I like going to school really early, 6:30 early to be precise. Anyway I’m sure I’ll have photos and whatnot to talk about tomorrow !

“Dear Prudence, won’t you come out to play?”
Ahh, the picture above was only meant to be of Scott and Jonathon (The 2 guys on the side). But oh well. So.. I woke up pretty late and I was still tired from the previous night. (If you’re wondering why, I watched “Dateline’s: How to catch a predator from 8 till like 12). It’s pretty fucked up, seeing all these guys going for 13-15 year old girls. Pretty funny how they lure them into getting arrested but that’s for another entry.
Ahh I think today is the first day of Autumn? Well if it isn’t, then my mistake. But I’m just great full that there will be no more days just wanting to go into one of the C20 rooms (which all have air condition). I absolutely love this cold weather and couldn’t ask for more (actually I could.. I would ask for snow, but this is Liverpool).
Walked to school with my daily dose of 60s music (Simon and Garfunkel this morning). Prior to to heading for the lights, I saw Jonathon, Brittany and Jobey on the bus right next to me.
Not really much I could say for the start of the day.. double math was the usual. During the second period we “worked” on World Math Day (which I like everyone else, find stupid). I think it was at the end of recess that my probably only close friend in the older years (Hong) came up to me, and gave me seasons 1 and 2 of “The Office”. (Which I am really enjoying, probably one of my faves.. even if I’m only up to the 3rd disc, well there’s 4 so its a reasonable time to say it’s one of my faves).
In science we did an experiment. In which Khanh put the wrong amount of marble chips in the test tube. But all in all we finished the experiment. Ahh here comes English. We were near end of finishing “The Merchant of Venice”. And honestly it’s probably one of the more entertaining books teachers have chosen for topics. The humor near end is really funny and the loophole in Shylock’s bond was astonishing.
Lucnh.. was lunch.. I took some photos (the one you see up there). Bought an iceblock and yeah.
In P.E we received yet another assignment. Nothing 10.1 can handle (Ok.. before you say “cocky” it’s the teachers expectations of us being 10.1 that our behavior and grades need to be second to none. It’s not that I don’t like being in the top class, just the pressure is there).
Entering the music block, I hear the opening riff of “Blackbird”. That sort of made me happy inside. But practice was crap. Because we didn’t have Renee to guide us men into doing the right thing. In the end Ms. Benjamin told us to pack up early, and gave us a lecture.
Leaving the back gates of the school I got asked by a year 11 student if he could get mentioned. Well there you go Renmark! (thanks for reading :) ). Walked home with the usual and listened to “Like a rolling stone” with Ian.
