Last Friday (16th) Jazz and I progressed to Newmarket where the next world vision meeting was supposed to be. Upon arriving we discovered that no one else was there yet. Surprising considering our school is further from Newmarket than both AGS and EGGS. So we sat contemplating the possibility of being stood up when the always reliable Jade turned up! She also came from town and was surprised to hear no one had arrived yet. After a short while Emily arrived and our meeting was at a stand still. Nothing could really be done. Brian text in saying he had a stomach bug and couldn't make it. And AGS wasn't coming until 5pm. Both Jazz and Jade enjoyed chocolatey cakes with mountains of whipped cream while I sipped at my lemon tea.
Eventually James from AGS did turn up, and we were disgusted to find out he had been playing pool to kill time before he and Mathew were supposed to turn up. Nice.
So our meeting was pretty useless, we couldn't do much at all. We spoke and tried to be productive but it could hardly be deemed satisfactory.
I caught the train home and yes again I was delayed...for over half an hour. Public transport in Auckland is so unreliable. Always has been I suppose but I've never had to rely on it quite so much.
My weekend was boring as...well there is nothing much to compare it to. I didn't manage to do anything relatively useful and didn't even study for my Economics test.
Tuesday (yesterday) saw me at the Mad Butcher asking for a donation of sausages for our Sausage Sizzle tomorrow and Friday - to which is expect all my friends to go to! Help World Vision!
And I also got my marks back for Economics - yes an Excellence! That's right! Haha that made me rather happy :)
Today is Tamsin's birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! She's 17 now! Wow everyone is getting old so fast. And here I am...Still sweet 16. Though not for too much longer...
Badminton trials are tomorrow >.< there are so many people signing up...I really suck so I'm going to be really gutted if I don't get in: don't get to play for my last year! Oh the horror of the situation...I really hope I get in because it's just so much fun. I would encourage everyone to do it as well but then there would be even more names up and I simply can't have that (I never denied that I was selfish) so you can all play elsewhere :p
JFK trial is next week and I'm Michel Nicoli - a French mobster, previously heroin smuggler and now turned US Federally protected witness and government informant. I've just finished writing out my speech which will be in...wait for it... in FRENCH.
Yes in French....okay you can close your mouth now, it's rather unbecoming to let it hang like that.
I know, I don't speak French and haven't taken it since I was forced to in 3rd form. (I suppose I should get used to calling it year 9 now...) But I have it and now have 6 days to learn it and hopefully (ignores skeptical expressions) memorise it. Meh. I'm not fond of this achievement standard at all. But I still have to do it...
Mmm well that appears to be it. I've been in a pretty contemplative mood lately and I think Yi Lein has had to put up with the large part of it. There just has been a lot to think about. School does entice a lot of thought, especially in English. And I believe Yi Lein will have to continue to put up with it seeing as she's just so curious and nice about it even when I'm blabbering on about nothing in paticular. Thanks for that ^^
Take care everyone!
