21.08.09

Well, its been a while, and I've just realised that this blog date is one day behind what day it really is! haha, silly thing.
Anyway, yesterday was the SKI TRIP! It was so much fun!
You could choose from skiing or snowboarding, and I chose skiing, as I know how to do it and I go alright and because I think that if you snowboard, you spend half to time on the ground!
We went to Selwyn, a snowfield only about 3 hours away. It was good, although it hardly had any snow at all! There was only about 4 or 5 tracks open, whereas last year all of them (about 10?) were open! All my friends were there, and overall, I had a really good time :D
Well today, or now, it is 10.52am. I am at home, as yesterday we had to get up at 3.30am (!!!) and I got home at 7.30pm after a long, tiring day skiing!
So, as you can imagine, I am buggered. And my legs are killing me, my back is sore after a massive fall yesterday, and I've got a cold to top it all off! So this morning, I slept in and decided just to have a easy, relaxing rest today.
I am working on my Science and Maths Assignment (arrgghhhhh). Hate them.
Anyway, better go (:
talk later.
Oh, and remember that I'd mention any good books that I read?
Well, FINNIKIN OF THE ROCK by Melina Marchetta is a must.
One of the best books I have ever read, 10/10 - fantastic :)

I'm reading this great book called Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta. I have read previous books of hers, titled On The Jellicoe Road and Looking for Alibrandi. I loved them both, and I think everyone should have a go - they are great...
I'm actually really enjoying school at the moment. Hardly any assignments and not alot of homework. Its great. I love English with Ms Smith, and I love Ag with Dylan and Alister. It's fun driving tractors around (:
I enjoy science, and as I want to be a vet when I leave school, thats a good thing to. On Friday, we did a heart di-section. I found it interesting, not fun, as that would be disgusting, but interesting.

"It' hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone if your heart still does. I understand that with love comes pain but why did I have to love so much? It's hard to pretend you love someone if you don't but it's harder to pretend that you don't love somone when you really do"
