I know it's been a while since I've updated, but I've been quite busy (an possibly lazy), since I started in school again. Anyway, I am now Year 13, which is the last year at the collage.
The 1. week we went on the Year 13 Camp. It is mostly just an extra holiday for the Year 13's, but also meant for us to become a bit closer, and get to know everyone a bit better.
One of the days we taught the Year 9's the school Haka (which is a mauri dance). Which also means that I (kinda) know it now.
The last day we made a small play in our house groups (house groups - think Harry potter, griffendor slytherin, etc.), I had to change house at the camp, because the school made some errors with me, so this far into the year, I've now been in 3 of the 4 houses (Tararua, Kawaka and Ruahini). We managed to plan our play 30 minutes before going on stage, yet it wasn't the worst one. We had had some leadership issues, from people who thought they deserved being house leader, so instead of actually planning our play, they argued the whole day instead. Our play was a game show, kind of like "who wants to be a millionaire", we had a lot of random jokes, one of them being me walking on stage only in my underwear. But it was fun.
I am also starting on singing lessons this year, I've already been added to it, and I'm just waiting to start now. Unfortunately I'm only here the 1. term, and possibly 2 weeks into 2. term, so it's mostly just to try it out for now. Luckily it's all free, since our school has their own teachers for that kind of things.
I've started exercising a bit with my host-brother. Everyday we cycle 4-5 km, and we're planning on going to Bulls soon, which is 8 km away, just to get in some kind of a shape. We also swim 200 meters every day, and I swim at school. Last week we did a test in it, and I feel like I've fallen a bit in my speed since last year back in Denmark. I swam 300 meters in 8 minutes, which is enough to pass it, but I'm sure I would have been able to do 400 meters in the same time back home.
I haven't really had much time for my skating lately, since I have come to a point where I find the skatepark we have here way too boring. So I have to go all the way to Palmerston North, and I have to get up at 7 am to catch the only bus going there.
Last night we went to a surprise party, for one of my friends named Holly. She didn't expect it at all, and we had a really fun time. We went to bed at 05:30 in the morning, and I got up at 10, so right now I'm pretty tired. We played charades for about 5 hours, and I am apparently actually pretty okay at it.
Anyway, that is all I have for now
Bye!
