I have holiday again :D I know it's been quite a while since I last updated, but I become quite lazy, and we haven't done too much since Australia
But, a few weeks back we went shooting at a gun range. We had 12 shots each, and had a lot of fun. It was only .22 bullets, but it was still quite fun :P I got 3 bullseye, and a few quite close to it. I got 80 points out of 100 possible, so I'm quite proud, considering that it's the first time I've done it.
Even further back we went tramping in mountains. We started off by being dropped off at a car park on side of the ranges, and ended up on the other side of it. In all we walked for 3 days. about 3 hours the first day, where we walked at night because it was a Friday. 6 hours the next day, where we went all the way to the top of it (and it was BIG). and 4 hours the last day, where we walked through river, and some places had to do a bit of rock climbing because the river got too deep to cross.
All in all a really good trip, and to my surprise I was the first to reach the car park the last day, which is weird since Denmark only has a bit of hills to go through, and the last part of the river walk, we had to leave the river, and walk up a VERY steep hillside.
I also went on an art trip with the school, mostly to not be at school that day, and instead go to Palmerston North. We went mostly to see some of the art people have done for their art boards (they have to do a certain number of boards every year to pass that level). After we were done looking at paintings, we went to the nearby mall to shop and eat. Where I bought a new school bag, because the strap fell off my other one, which I then gave to some Asian guy who asked for it when I threw it in a bin (I am such a generous guy).
In school I'm slowly getting ready to leave. I'm making things for my friends in engineering and wood tech. I've made a full out shield for my host brother Joe. We've tested it at bit by beating each other with big metal poles, and shot at it with a home made crossbow.
I'm almost done making a wooden bunny for one of my friends at school. We came up with the idea in art, and the next class I started on it. Which means I've been going to the wood tech department in some of my other classes, because I don't really take the subject, but we have a really nice teacher there, who seems to like me.
I'm also almost done with a metal catapult. I started it mainly to practice my welding, so I can get good at it before going home. And after spending a few hours welding, I've actually become pretty okay.
Anyway that was all I have for now
see ya :D
