We're only half way through the week and I'm flat out already. I'm currently just not in the mood so I'm going to make this short and sweet.

First off, we had our alternate athletics carnival yesterday - and God what a waste of time that was. Thank goodness that it was our last one (ever)! All that time at the carnival was spent stoning on the stands, acting as a pillow for various individuals (including Jude and Kathy), chatting absolute nonsense with everyone, looking out for a certain someone (ehhhhhehehe), attempting to read Ms Watkins' Cold War hand-out and other small things that just don't matter. I spiked my hair up and drew stripes on my arms to make myself look like some sort of animal - I ended up looking like a liger (lion + tiger). Will upload pictures as soon as I get them off Jude. (PS. also had the Year 12 vs staff tug-of-war. We won!)

Secondly, Kathy and I had our very first pilates personal training at Fitness First yesterday after the carnival. It was exhausting. Who ever thought that stretching and bending and breathing would tire you flat out? It was good, nevertheless. The pain will pay off, I always remind myself. I had the best sleep after that. Went to bed at 10pm and immediately fell asleep. It felt great.

Thirdly, I learned a new song on the guitar. I thought it was worth mentioning (how ever irrelevant and small it sounds!) because Somewhere Over the Rainbow sounds so damn pretty on electric :)

Fourth, we had our second dose of HPV vaccine (2 out of 3) today. It took me one hour just to get mine done, too. Mrs Wilson (our head of boarding, who is really our guardian) had signed the majority of boarder's cards for consent, which apparently wasn't enough to convince one of the nurses who were there. So she sent all of us (I reckon there were at least 7 of us) to the reception area to get our cards faxed back home or to our guardians to get it signed by them. It was so gay. I got it anyway, and that's that. My arm hurts now, from both pilates training and the injection. I hate needles, by the way.

Fifth, I've been trying to study hard for Maths on Monday, but I really don't think I'll put off a wonder act this time. I'd have to sleep late every night doing Maths. I'd have to put in heaps more hours into what I'm giving now. Thing is, I can't afford it. I'm so tired that all I want to do is sleep.

I'm going to start work now. Sigh. I'm sleeping early tonight. My body's exhausted.

Cheers.

PS. I haven't continued reading Capote's In Cold Blood in so long. Tonight, maybe. Tonight. I must finish it so I can start reading Salinger.

PPS. This entry has become longer than I had expected. Short and sweet - my ass.

PPPS. Ewan and Charley have arrived in Africa. God speed, boys.

PPPPS. HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY TO SARAH :)
