who needs sleep anyway.
Wednesday night was the last night I got any sleep before 12pm (at the earliest)
Right now, I am writing this in the complete and final stage of sleep deprivation, where your eyes glaze over and movements are so slow and unsure that even the usually frustrating snail pace computer has to stop and wait impatiently for you to catch up.
I hope most of the spelling in this is correct, becasue I'm not going to check it, I promise.
Thursday night.
Band contest.
A true style battle of the bands. Although the bands were all crazy heavy metal bands, that sounded as if they were burping at each other into the microphone, I actually enjoyed my night. Before going to the band night, we ate at a pub style restaurant (i, feeling very daring ate a bowl of wedges) and then we mosyed on down to the band night.
Walking in, it seemed like any other school organised music event, and that it was. The four bands all sounded the same, and I'm not even sure I could tell who the winners were.... I think I got a photo of one of them, but I'm not sure.
Friday night.
Subway and board games
We were supposed to go swimming and ice skating on friday night, but Anna got a cold, and so had to stay inside. To comprimise, and include her in what we did, we decided to get some subwax (ugh yuck) and play board games until we were all too tired to move. And so we did.
I make subway better. Promise. It wouldnt be hard to make subway better than what this girl did. But I have decided, Subway is the same all over the world. Same pictures, same sandwiches, same menu. Only, some how, this girl made sandwich making look really difficult.
Anyway, after subway, we went to Raffies house to play band hero. I cane at drums, suck at guitar and won at singing (only because the songs were all in english...). Then we played a game that was a mix between charades, pictionary and triangle (you know, that show on tv where they are only allowed to speak about the words and not say them). I wasnt told this until it was my turn, but the version of the game was 'adult' and so had words that I didnt really need, or want, to know. Awkward.
Saturday
Lets go to a flipping huge castle, and then dress up as a builder of some sort.
can you see it? its that reasonable sized building on the hill.
We walked the entire length of the castle. Apparently, its the longest castle in the WORLD.
it stretches for over 1.5 kilometres.
Heres another photo, hopefully you can grasp the length of it.
I have more photos, but you'll have to visit facebook for that, because I'm too lazy to add them here too!
Saturday night was Faschings samstag (a part of the festival that is happening right now, Carnivale) and I went to a ball. Well, at least, thats what they called it. Really, it was just a huge dress up party in a tiny pub in the middle of no-where.
My class friends had all decided to go as workers this year, and luckily, they had an opening in their workforce for another builder.
I'll add another photo one day soon, so that you can see my entire outfit. It consisted of dirty old overalls, a pair of converse shoes, a white t-shirt, a belt with attatched toy hammer and screw driver and smears of black dirt make-up. We all looked so so good. I'm glad that I've found friends that are as dorky as me here.
But it was fun. And, I must say, we didnt look the silliest either. That prize would have to have gone to the boys that decided to dress up as 'Sadie the cleaning lady'. Or to the full set of chess pieces. Or to the group dressed up as babies, nappies and all. Or to the... but enough of that for now.
I'll update you on Sundays activities another time, when I've actually done them.
