Another week. More stuff to tell about. Another interesting title to begin the blog with.

Ok... I never know how to structure these blogs. The most logical way to do it, you would think, would be to do it in a chronological order. However it never seems to work out that way. My fingers just start typing and the thoughts and memories just come out onto the page without much sequence and order at all. Today i have made a list on a notepad beside me with a list of things, in the order they happened, that i wanted to record. It might work... maybe :)
Lectures. Man you guys are seriously all missing out. so good! we have a few different lecturers at the moment and they all teach in pretty different ways. they all bring an enthusiasm to their subject that they teach though, which makes a huge difference. its infectious :) We all get totally into each lecture (usually) despite being so tired all the time. For example, the other day we had a lecture on World Views with Tim Wagstaff, and we had the most amazing discussions! at one stage though, the discussions turned into a heated discussion, then a debate and then an argument lol. We were talking about truth and some people were saying that there wasn't any absolute truth! I KNOW! crazy. anyways, Carmel and i, with Tim H in support, ended up arguing against like the whole class. Josh (Jess's Josh) i swear was deliberately saying things that he knew we would get fired up about. I was so annoyed. It was good though. In my mind we won and convinced them that we were right, but even if they weren't convinced i know that they are wrong and am prepared to let it go :) lol
Two weekends ago we had our pledge night! It was so good! I wont say anything else about it except thankyou to everyone who contributed to the weekend to make it amazing for me :)
Last Monday we played our second last touch footy game (the semi final) and we won! we were so happy. After the game our team had to ref another game. So Tim, Jess C, Sam and i all decided to start walking home while the others stayed behind and reffed. We went through the river along the way, just for kicks, and mucked around and laughed as we walked. Then Tim suggested that we jog for a while, which Jess totally supported, so we started jogging (Sam didn't jog though because of a cut up foot or something..., so he got left behind). Anyways, we ended up jogging for like 25 minutes non stop. I fell behind quickly but eventually caught up to Jess and then we jogged together. By the time the bus came to pick us up we were a fair way up Rivers road and so had jogged around 6km or so. It doesn't sound like a lot but believe me it was a fair bit. Jogging that long makes your legs pretty stiff the next morning lol. It was so good though. loved it.
On Tuesday we had Scripture. And Georgie and I had to run it ourselves. !! Georgie did really well with her class. She told the story amazingly for the young boys and had them all listening and attentive. My scripture class went alright too. I was so nervous. The kids enjoyed it though. Probably because i bribed them with lollies :) At one point though i found myself thinking "oh my goodness i have no idea what point I'm making or where I'm going with this" and i kind of shot Anna a look asking for help with my eyes. She then stepped in subtly and directed the conversation. I then could gather myself and keep going. The kids didn't pick up on my nervousness or panic at all though which is always good :) The only thing that i was told to work on was speaking louder. They said i spoke well but i just need to raise my voice slightly. Apparently i have a quiet voice lol. Who would have thought?
After scripture i played Ticket to Ride (a board game) with Millie, Tim, Ethan and Steve. Millie won but i managed to come in second (just). It was my first game so i was pretty proud of myself lol. Its a really good game. Everyone should buy it.
During the rest of the week stuff and things and work happened. Can't remember anything interesting off the top of my head...
On the next Saturday (last Saturday) the girls went camping. Not real camping though coz all they did was go over to the poplar trees to camp. (for those that don't know, the poplar trees is down in the field next to us). Us guys went out to dinner. We went to the golf club and ate Chinese. it tasted so good. i had fried banana and ice cream for desert. yum! Then, when we came home we decided to take advantage of the girls being gone... So we went into their bathroom and put detergent into some of their soaps, Coleslaw sauce into some of their shampoos and orange essence into various cleaning stuff too. i forget exactly what went into what because i spent most of the time laughing. Then, after calming down, we decided to watchgood movie?!?!" and "i want the last two hours of my life back!"... like i said. stupid movie.
The next morning we got some pretty satisfying responses to the pranks. Wally actually put the Coleslaw into her hair  and realised that  it smelt like mayo half way through lol. Georgie smelt it as she went to use it and so used something else. Carmel washed her hair with it but didn't even notice lol. She didn't realise that it was Coleslaw until after the other girls commented on it lol. So funny.
Oh. We also had a watermelon/water fight after work on Saturday too. Amy and Alfy(our boss type fella) started it. Millie then joined and everyone ended up involved in the field. Then they decided that the people working in the shed should be meloned too, so when the came to the bus they were drenched and covered in melon. It was pretty fun. The bus was a bit of a mess though :)
Tim had his compound bow and his gun brought down so we could go hunting. They are pretty cool. We have had some target practice and i think Tim and Jordan managed to shoot one rabbit. Good fun. Although... i was shooting the bow the other day and one of my fingertips went numb, which i thought nothing of at the time, but its now several days later and feeling still hasn't come back. Its really bizarre. Its probably another molonitis symptom. they don't want us to have fun so they are punishing us. evil melons.
Speaking of evil melons, the feud between us has escalated. They are now trying to kill me. I work close to the tractor because i more the belt up and down as needed and stop the tractor if people are falling behind... and so i am close to where the melons build up as they go onto the trailer. They build up when there are too many and they aren't moving along the trailer belt fast enough. And so what the melons are doing is they are taking advantage of the build up and throwing themselves off the belt and trying to hit me. Three times now I've either had to move at the last second or nearly been hit on the back or head as they shoot down past me, before dying a splattery death on the ground at my feet. Evil melons....
We had our last touch foot game last night, which is very sad. We lost the final for C grade, which is also very sad. And at one point one guy broke through the line so i took chase after him but didn't quite manage to catch him which is also sad. But, the other team voted me as the best and fairest player and so i got a mad drink bottle when the awards were given out later in the night. Yeah!
What else to say.... there are probably other things that happened which i have missed, but i cant think of them at the moment so we will let it go.
And here ends this weeks recount of surviving first year...
