First Day Of School

New Pants, New Shirt, New Belt, New Folder, New Shoes, New Homeroom, New Classes, New People...you get the idea. First day of being a Senior, was a little daunting at first.

Seeing all my friends back at school with our new senior uniforms on; my year group was lookin pretty good ;)

All the lads wearing the khaki pants as opposed to our junior grey ones, and the girls wearing green skirts...we all dressed the part hahaha.

Was a pretty early start to the day waking up at 7:30am as opposed to my 12 noon in the holidays :) Was pretty keen to wear the senior pants though...kinda weird i know.

Started the day pretty well, got lift to school with Jess - whom i might say is an excellent driver x. Had to sit on the Basket ball court and do some admin with Bathy and the Hogster, Lame.

But i officially have Free/Study periods, YEW!

For some absurd reason the schools decided to change their homeroom system to vertical lines which means i have a couple of kids from every single year in the one class, Gayness, At least i have Jono and Micki :)

First Period i had which turned out to be the Second period subject cos we missed first due to admin and stuff was Ancient History...Was fair keen to get into some work, sick of bein a waiter at Dad's restaurant. That feeling wore away though hahaha.

Had Recess or as we call it 'AM BREAK', me and Matty Fav had to move a table so we could sit down, Gayness, our group had declined so we were down on numbers :(

Double Music followed first part was ok getting straight into, practicing for the Welcoming Mass but the second part was extremely dry going over our course content, ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz.

Then Lunch a.k.a. PM BREAK was short and boring. Moving straight into maths.

General Maths seems easy enough for the moment. After a slow start to the lesson having to get text books and what not. Algebra...AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!

Was glad when the bell rang for 6th and last period, Indutstrial Technology with Mr Prior, was fair keen at first then he decided to open his mouth...all i heard was you have to get a BAND 5 OR 6 to pass in my eyes a BAND 4 is a FAIL to me...

Saved by the bell, Mr Campbell cutting our lesson short so we could go back to hoomeroom...to help the Yr 7's settle and catch buses easier.

Got a lift home with Jess again...Gotta love her...not a bad First day at school...

that's my...life as it happens.

Australia Day

Marking the birth of our Great Nation the 26th of January. Pretty swell day about 1000 degrees out side though.

So many ways to spend Australia Day...Beach, BBQ, Party...Beach BBQ Party...okay so not so many ways...Mine was gonna be spent at the Vietnam Veterans Australia Day celebration.

Was dreading spending the day with my grandparents at their friends celebration but turned out better then i expected.

Early start to the morning made our way to the restaurant then to their house. Slow start to the event spent most of the first hour waiting to go home. But as things got going i was starting to enjoy myself...

• Did my waiter thing and served some of my Om Noi's Vietnamese coleslaw to all the guest - was a big hit amongst the veterans.
• Sat on the verandah in the shade and watched Tony cook the Lamb on the Barbie.
• Offered my service to carve the lamb...Leo was a little hesitant at first but Tony gave some encouragment.
• Using my awesome ninja/asian skills i carved up that lamb.
• During which my good friend Jess came home - it was her house.
• Ate Lunch and what not then i reluctantly went home.

Fast forward an hour and a half Jess and i played 9 holes of golf on the Moruya Golf Course with two of my mates. It was the last 9 holes we would play these holidays and the last 9 holes i would be able to play with Lewis before he left for his schooling in Sydney.

• Lewis and Rhys in one cart, Jess and I in the other.
• Played the front nine
• Horrible start to say the least.
• Some improvement over the nine.
• Had a smokin caddy - Jess.
• Good way to spend your last moments with a friend - Lewis.
• Great way to end Australia Day.

And that's my...life as it happens...
