Never Never..School..and Other Stuff

So much has been happening in my life the last couple of weeks.Well exams for year 11 are finished and i feel really confident with my results passing every subject except chemistry but i dont care about chemistry it is a waste of time.I also got my mark for my Historical Investigation that accounts for 20% of year 11 Ancient history it was out of 50 and i got 50 and was the only one out of 50+ to get that mark.I was happy with that and my teacher gave me the choice to pick up history extension for year 12.....should be interesting.

After a 4+ hour drive we arrived at barrington where a slalom race was held on the never never rapid.The racing was good with Ian showing that he still has the skill in the Kayak coming second.The day before the race about 15 of us did the river trip,Ben H Cj Ian and I was just so bored of paddling stupid k1 and c1's so we chose to paddle a wombegong.This proved to be quite a challenge as the boat is only made for 2 people and definetly not for whitewater or even moving water.In summary of that river trip we had heaps of fun and laughs but also sunk several times and had to empty the boat in very cold water.

Well today I bought tickets to two concerts AFI and U2 ..Yes U2 i could not believe it when I saw that they were doing a third show.However I will proabably have to miss AFI's concert as i have a WSAS graduation dinner dammit!! Other then that everything at school and on the water is going great.

Exams are soon..I am so depressed

Well the title explains it all,my final exams for year 11 are due to start in 3 days and I am not happy about that fact.What I try to remember is that these are not my HSC exams and that they practically go towards nothing apart from the right to boast about who beat who.This three day weekend was a bit tough for me both highs and lows.Friday i took off from school so I could go and buy tickets for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.A rough outline of that day - joined the line of 50 or so around 730 am-after about 30 mins of lining up there was an announcement saying the 1st show had sold out but a second show was going to occur so hopes were still alive.As there was only one computer and an elderly lady opperating it the 2nd show sold out when i was 3 places from buying tickets.Around 11:30 a third show was announced and I got two tickets for me and Ben Miller.
I have semi modified this pic just in case,yes i am paranoid someone will try to rip it off

After that I caught a movie with Ian and Ethan-fearless great movie it is subbed but really great fight scenes. After an average training session and an entire day of playing Xbox with Cj and Duncan several of us went to Chris johnsons 21st.Overall awesome night off socialising.Today after a better training session I enjoyed bumming in front of the tv with my dad while doing a little bit of study.I was still really tired and was feeling a bit depressed.I guess ive got a lot on my mind but anyway thats life.
