Truwell’s Visit
Cross Country Pictures as promised!
Cross Country!
Woo Hoo!!!
This morning I woke up at 5:00am to run 5 km at 7:30 with the sun beating down on me and no water stops. Unless you wanted to swim in the lake ; P ‘No thank you!’ ; P
I think I did well, there were people in front of me but there were also people behind me so I know that I did not come first or last and I do not know my time yet either. ; P
We had a good sized team come from our school and there were 120 plus kids turn up in total from our school as well as other schools.
I have some pictures, before and after, but not one of our team, yet (hope to get a hold of one soon) so here they are.
Before (Moriah, Whitney and Me)
After (Me, Whitney and Moriah) Significant loss in height compared to the ‘Before’ photo due to weariness ; P
Overall, it was a lot of fun and I can’t wait for our next race (some time soon-ish)
June/July/August Video!!!
Sooo sorry for the lateness!!!
If you have any questions i’ll answer them in another video. I have FINALLY found a way to record and upload them easier than the previous times.
Ear Piercing! My ear itches…
The night before I would return home from a retreat, Jessa calls me (jumping up and down) saying that Mum and Dad have given their permission for her to get her second pair of ear piercings and one cartilage piercing before her 15th birthday. Previously the rule was that we could get our second pair of piercings when we are 15 but Jessa wanted hers sooner (just 3 months sooner). So she calls me to tell me this and to ask me to come with her as I wanted a third pair of piercings (Mum and Dad also said that I could get a cartilage too, got a bonus ; P). So I said yes and we invited 2 other friends of Jessa’s to come with us, one of which also got her cartilage pierced.
So, 2 nights before our 2014/15 school year starts; Jessa is losing sleep from sore ears and I am losing sleep from sun burns (from the retreat) ; P what a cheery lot we are. ; P As I have had my ears pierced before I thought that I knew everything (I didn’t ; P) so I was telling Jessa and her friend that we only had to keep our earrings in for 6 weeks, then we can change them. Lo and behold, I was wrong ; P and it turns out that you have to keep cartilage piercings in for 12 weeks. Yes, you read right, double the time for lobe piercings. It turns out that Jessa will be able to change her cartilage piercing on her birthday ; P
Happy 4th of July Americans!
Today is the American Independence day and is also the day that Hymne, Maggie, Tannie Juduth and Mrs Tugwell arrive in Thailand. Welcome to Thailand Girlies! ; P
YAY!!!
The self-labelled Truwells (thanks to Simeon and Tom) are coming on July 4th which happens to be the American’s Independence Day. Yay! Kinda. Its not really celebrated here even though Thailand is like, mega influenced by America, but yeah. Even if it was celebrated here, everyone (well, almost everyone) has gone back to America and their home state for their summer anyway. Our winter, by the way, how cold is it? Is Adelaide foggy? Is Cooma snowing? Bangkok is raining, yeah, its rainy season. So soon I’ll get to walk around the Villa and my wellington boots, YAY. Kinda.
So, I’m assuming that everyone has had their exams (passed them…?) and has finished school for the semester and on Holidays! YAY! Yeah, it is YAY! I’m also assuming that the regulars are going to their regular places and everyone else is staying where they are doing nothing, pretty much what I’m doing. So, those of you who are regulars, you probably wont see this until you get back so – ‘I hope you had a great trip!’ – and – ‘Hi!’ – to those who are doing nothing ; P I’m doing a bit of both, nothing right now but after the Truwells come through Bangkok and… shop – ‘uh oh!’ – ; P we are going down to Phuket for 11 days, 2 of which would consist of the drive to and fro. So, really just 9 days, which is still cool ; P YAY!!
That’s my holiday plan right there ; P jk, were just glad to be done with school – ‘BOOO!!!’ – ; P jk, again. Kinda. Anyway, the June video (and by then, maybe the July video too) will only be put up until i can set up the other videos so that they are accessible to those who don’t have such-and-such accounts and really don’t want to waste time setting one up and getting junk from them etc etc. So in between my nothing plans and Truwell/Phuket plans, I will set these things up. YAY!!! ; P
Until then, see ya later alligators! ; P
Happy Birthday Hymne!!!
