ultimate high five hang

24/02/2014

So much has happened since my last update! I apologize for my negligence but I'm going to try really hard to keep this blog updated from now on. Basically last week was Athletics Day (which went pretty okay imo); a lot of practices for the Athletics Day house captain dance (I GOT HEAPS OF COMPLIMENTS AFTERWARDS FROM PPL BEING LIKE EH GURL U GOT MOVES and i was like omg u dnt knw how much that means to me consdering i cant dance for shit THX!!! also i had the luigi head on during the whole dance and couldn't see ANYTHING) and then i got a shitload of homework for the weekend.

O yeah speaking of the weekend, on saturday i went to an "alcohol awareness" conference because jo was desperate for ppl to go from service because apparently it would be helpful for our SADD project this year BUT LEMME TELL U IT WAS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL!! nevertheless i do not regret going because I got "best speaker/most enthusiastic participant/idk" and won a $30 westfield gift voucher aw yisssss!!!! Some ppl r real ignorant when it comes to drinking and the drinking culture tbh. omg we were discussing "ways to avoid the dangerous consequences of drinking" and suggestions included

• mentally training yourself to associate alcohol with your parents ie look at a bottle of alcohol and force yourself to think of your parents so that everytime you see alcohol u are guilted into thinking of your parents so that you're put off drinking AKA BRAINWASHING YOURSELF
• finding 'more responsible friends who won't drink/wont drink too much' aka giving up on the idea of having any friends at all
• avoiding situations where there is the possibility of getting drunk aka BEING AN ANTISOCIAL HERMIT

i was sitting there with faizah and both of us were DYING from how ridiculous some of the suggestions were o m f g

also, i went to geo schol and our topic for this year is urbanisation and i was like F YEAH MY BROTHER'S UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE IS PLANNING I CAN JUST ASK HIM FOR ADDITIONAL INFO 

anyway, moving on to today:

1. Athletics Day results announced in assembly. ELGIN CAME 5TH OUT OF 8 HOUSES FUCK YES NOT LAST, NOT SECOND TO LAST, NOT EVEN THIRD TO LAST!!! SO STOKED OMFG WE CAME LAST IN 2013 THIS IS SUCH AN ACHIEVEMENT!!! Also at assembly all the house captains sat at the front and we presented the newly-appointed year 6 house captains a quilted cute house banner thing and omg the house captain for elgin did like a downward-pulling-reverse-fist-pumping motion (omg i totally forgot whether or not it has a name but it's associated with the "FUCK YES" expression) and anna went to high five the girls while she gave them the banner and so i put my hand up for a high five as well AND IT HUNG FOR 2 SECONDS WITHOUT THEM SEEING IT AND IT WAS THE LONGEST 2 SECONDS OF MY LIFE BECAUSE I SUDDENLY REALISED THE HUGE POSSIBILITY OF ME BEING TOTALLY REJECTED FOR A HIGH FIVE AND HAVING THE WHOLE FREAKIGN SCHOOL WITNESSING IT but eventually they saw me and high fived but omfg lemme tell u ive never been that terrified in my whole life
2. at dragonboating we did 3 races with other stcc team and another team full of adults and we won all three fuck yeh. OH on the drive back i convinced my dad to let me drive and this is the FIRST TIME HE'S WITNESSED ME DRIVING and he let me go on the motorway and he was like SO IMPRESSED WITH HOW CAPABLE I WAS WITH DRIVING and he kept saying "u can so pass the restricted test" and im like AW YEEEEEEEEEEE (ps he is so much more chill in the car than my mum is hahaha i always thought my dad would be the freak-outer while i was driving)
3. i was so productive at home omg i only even opened my laptop at 11pm (which is when everything went downhill and i started distracting myself)
