CUATROS SEMANAS

Aloha honeybunches! :) How are we all? Golly, it has been a while. Almost 4 weeks actually. That's one entire month! Sorry about that, just wasn't feeling the blogging vibes recently. There's actually so much I have to blog about and I don't know if I'm going to be bothered writing about ALL of it. Oh well, I'll try my best and if you get bored out of your wits, feel free to press that x button on the right hand side of your screen anytime or use any other method to close ya browser. :)

Righto! First event: FRAYNEY FRAYNE SPEECH FESTIVAL :D

Frayne was heaps of fun despite the fact it took us 8 hours on the bus to get there. We shared the bus with another girls school and they were lovely, a little bit loud but very lovely. We got to our accommodation at around 6 or so in the evening and the cabins were so cute. I unfortunately didn't get people I liked in my cabin. hahah, just kidding, love you Tash, Michelle and Kimberley :) The cabin had the own little kitchen and bathroom and bunk beds and couches and tvs and everything. I don't think I'd mind living there for a while. :) We then went to meet the other schools to eat dinner and mingle and stuff and ya know ;D I met a couple of the people I saw at Seeds which was AWEEESHUM because they also remembered me! (awww) But the best part was when my so called friends locked me outside the cabin so I was left banging on the door like a very sad person while they ignored me. :( YOU FEMALE CANINES. HOW DARE YOU?! No, really, it was not a good experience. So they are no longer my friends. hmph. Just kidding, I actually found myself laughing along since Kimberley fell off her chair so ya know, THAT IS KARMA FOR YOU GURLLFREN.

 After that, we all hopped on a bus to FOOOOOODD! :D We ate our food and then went back to our cabins and chilled out for a bit, just doing silly stuff like making and taking photos and stealing freebies. (I have a organic facial bar thing which I haven't used yet, in fact I don't even know where I placed it. :S :D

After lots of mucking around (Cindy walking in with her cat onesie) (pictures below ;D), it was finally sleepy sleep time. There was a room with a double bed and so we all decided to sleep in the same bed with Tash sleeping on the mattress on the floor and had a heart to heart to heart to heart (geddit)? till about 2 or 3 am when we were supposed to get up at around 7 or so. Not such a good idea.

We woke up to Kimberley's loud ass alarm and groggily got ready and loaded all our stuff onto ze bus. "We're off to see the Wizard of Frayne!" Nope, that wasn't funny in my head and it's not funny in text. Anywho, we were on a bus with the other lovely girls school who were oh so nice though a little random so the bus trips were never boring. HAHAH  We arrived at the school where the competition was taking place and ate breakfast. I think the orange juice was a little bit weird because there were about 15 girls waiting outside the toilet after drinking it. :S (Me included)

The verse choirs were then led to the hall and the debating and public speaking competitions were held elsewhere. We met lots of really nice people because everyone in the country is so goddamn lovely. Besides a select few but the nice outweighed the mean so all was good in the 'hood/country. The school captain then began the competition with an extremely elaborate speech (I'm kidding, it was more like, "Welcome welcome. Let's begin this as quickly as possible so I can limit my time here." Though he was supposedly very good looking as evidenced by the many girls from the schools crowding around him like some sort of superstar. I personally didn't really see it. WELP.

 On to ze performance. There were a couple of really really amazing performances and you could tell that they took these things super seriously because their performances were basically perfect. Ours on the other hand, weren't so much. I think quite a lot of people stuffed up (including me) due to nerves and  intimidation I guess? But oh well, we got up there, performed our piece which was a nice tribute to J. K Rowling. I was secretly hoping that the judges would be crazy closet Harry Potter fans but I guess not since we didn't place. :( Despite the not so successful result, I think everyone had heaps of fun and that's all that matters. :) I laughed so much when one of the girls from the school that won the competition because I didn't realise anyone took it THAT seriously. We're just reciting and dramatising a couple of poems, it's fun and all, but it's not like a life or death situation where I would think anyone would actually burst into tears.
After our performance, it was lunch which I actually can't remember what we ate. HAHAHA, hey, it's been four weeks, cut me some slack here. You probably shouldn't, I deserve this. Cindy, Tash and I also went to watch the public speaking finals after that which was AWESOME because they were all soooooooo bloody good and passionate and just really really really brilliant. They all performed wonderfully and they had really professional cue cards and it was just fantastico! The girl who won the public speaking competition was absolutely fantastic; her topic was about preserving language. She delivered her speech with such ease and she didn't sound like a know-it-all which was refreshing. It was just really nice, succinct, witty and winner material (which of course she did)! :)

It was then the end of the day. :( So we all hopped on the bus for the 8 hour bus ride home. Most of us slept, read or told each other scary stories as it was getting dark which was VERY VERY FUN. :D We also stopped for pizza in which I basically inhaled about 4 slices because I was so hungry. I know, I'm a fatty, leaf me be. EHHEHEH tasted soooo good though. And the rest of the ride home was pretty quiet until we finally got back to school at around 10 - 10:30pm. The school we were on the bus with were so lovely and one of them said they couldn't have asked for better busmates. NGAWWWWWW :') So we're all friends on facebook now so weeeee yay!

Anywho, I'm tired as heck now and I did not realise blogging about Frayne would be that much. I really need to work on limiting my words. Sorry about that honeypies. I will see you tomorrow when I blog about the Winter Sleepout and hopefully the rest of these four weeks that you've missed out on my ever so important news. HAHAHAHAH NO.

Goodnight you lovely people! :D SLEEP TIGHT! AND WAKE UP ALL LOOSE AND READY FOR ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL LIVES. :D I'm bloody puking rainbows now. I will leave before I embarrass myself any further. Toodaloo! holy shite, I jsut realised that could be misheard as "to the loo" as in "to the toilet." well. ummm.  G'NIGHT!

MAARY.

sorted. but not. but sorted.

HUJAMBO! I'm from Swahili! Did you forget?! Hahah, no I'm just kidding. Though I do love languages though as you may have noticed. Okay, time to get straight to it because a lot of things have happened these past two days that I have found necessary to blog about. :)

Okeydoke, yesterday I went to the Melbourne Uni Open Day which was really really fun and helpful and now I know what degree I want to take, what subjects I might enjoy and my way around Melbourne Uni. :) I was planning to go by myself so I wouldn't get distracted but I met the lovely Kimmo (yes, the glitter and wanderlust one) and Nina, our friend from school and we decided to explore the uni together. I was very grateful to be able to meet up with them though because I don't think I would've enjoyed my day as much if they hadn't been there. :) (Thanks guys)! We walked around heaps and the most exciting things included getting a free mocha (they were amazing), free coffee samples, getting a photo taken with a bear (as shown below), looking at the reptile van, taking our photo with the 'grape with the orange guitar' (don't ask) and attending a creative writing lecture in which I was thinking "Tash should really be here right now." So I think I'm going to do a Science and Arts double degree so I can keep my options open and have my studies catered towards my interests and my hobbies. :)wooo I'm so glad I finally worked that out because now all I have to do is get the marks which means I finally have motivation to do well in school now. yay! :)

After a very helpful day at Melbourne Uni, Kimmo, Nina and I randomly met our friend, Van, and it turned out they were going to the same party. So after the girls did all their getting ready girly stuff for this party I wasn't invited to (i hate you hillary, just kidding, HOPE YOU HAD A FANTASTIC BIRTHDAY PARTY HILLARY AND I HELPED PICK OUT YOUR PRESENT SO I HOPE YOU LIKE THAT TOO! :)) On my way home, I bumped in to a guy setting up the soup van and asked him how I could get involved and so he told me that I can help him prepare the food next Sunday! WEEEEEE WOOOO I'M SO EXCITED. I'M FINALLY GETTING A JOB!! But not really since it's volunteer work but I couldn't be happier to help out! :)

That was yesterday so now on to today! :)I had a really fun, relaxing, nice day out today as well. A couple of my friends and I were going to go to the city and explore little shops that we'd seen before but never had the chance to go in today but sadly, half of them couldn't make it. :( Instead, Ellen and Tash and I went to Readings to use our book vouchers we had received from school last year. We spent probably around an hour or so in Readings and Tash eventually bought three Greek Mythology books (no one saw that coming), Ellen bought a book about making chocolate (again, surprise surprise) and I bought 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I finished the Sherlock TV series with Benedict Cumberbatch a while back and I loved it so I decided to give the books a try. :) I'm quite excited to read it actually. After our nerdy book-buying session, we went to Brunetti's and drank mochas like sophisticated ladies. (HAHAHHA, NO NOT REALLY) We then walked all the way home and stopped at the McDonald's in the hospital and looked at meerkats and ate stuff and chatted as Natasha was engrossed in her book. It actually does sound really awesome so far going off what she's told me about it. :D She'll probably blog about it later to(night/day). We then go to my house and we were going to watch "Nightmare Before Christmas" but Tash was still engrossed in her book, Ellen wanted to play piano and I was yelling at Michelle for the reason I will blog about a little bit later so we decided we'd watch it another time. :)

Today I had a mental breakdown. I'm actually not even exaggerating, I know I do that a lot but this time I'm not. Rightio, so here's how it all went. We got home and then I checked my twitter and realised ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS IS GOING TO BE LEAVING TO ANOTHER SCHOOL AT THE END OF THE YEAR. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO NOOOODFJDJFHSDFNDKJFHBADSHFBDSJFBDS. I was basically swearing at the world and spammed her on every social network site she had access too and called her and yelled at her like some crazy person. But to be completely honest, I'm really really really happy for her because I remember when she didn't get into this school in year 8 when she tried out for it, she came to school crying her poor little eyes and she was devastated for about a week. And now she's finally done it! She got in! And as a friend, I have to be supportive and caring and considerate and I have to let her go because I love her to bits. OH god, I'm going to be a mess at the end of the year. An absolute sobbing, weeping, crying, howling mess. But Michelle, if you read this, I'M SERIOUSLY OVERJOYED THAT YOU'RE FINALLY GOING TO GO TO YOUR DREAM SCHOOL AND I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU AND THAT I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU! :) <3 :=":" p="p">
Okay, so now all that is done, I have to go and wash the dishes and I might blog later about whatever I can think about. :) Bye, you gorgeous examples of homosapiens!

MAARY.
