THIS IS SERIOUS. PAY ATTENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is an anonymous person posting mean stuff on Therese's, Jesslyn's and Rae's (see links) blogs. You might want to know some things about this person, so here is some stuff i have pieced together:
-Person says her name is Alex (might be lying)
-says she is in the top 2 classes ( which would be AM5 and BU5)
-is supposed to be therese's friend (though the are sort of on the skids......fighting, i guess)
-know's when rae's birthday is
-knows jesslyn is in AM5
-knows therese's, rae's and jesslyn's blog addresses( though i suppose the person only needs to know one person's address, the other two people will be linked) and,
-keeps calling people idiot and keeps teasing by saying 'bet you dun no who i am' and stuff like that
This is very bad. Cyber bullying (the person says she doesn't know what cyber-bullying is [she's being insolent]) is a serious issue. VERY serious. This grave matter is being investigated thoroughly, and i have a list of suspects, though i'm not accusing anybody..................YET.
I will keep you updated on any er, updates that will come up on this case.
Aleysa, over'n' out

Hello. This post is specially adddressed to all those who do competitive sports.
Did you know that over training is bad? You're supposed to push yourself to the limit, not go beyond what your body can actually do. If you let training take over your life, then you're overtraining. I know it's important to train and keep fit and stuff, but, at the same time, keep up your other interests too. Like, if you're a social butterfly, then you should hang out with your friends and not eat,sleep and breathe training. Actually, if you overtrain, you won't be able to perform to the best of your capabilities when it really matters, because your body will be tired because you forced yourself to run an extra 20 miles, or swim for another hour, even though you know you can't do it. If you overtrain, then the only way to recover is to take a couple of weeks/months off, and no athlete wants to do that. Sometimes, when your muscles feel slugish and weary and you can't actually do anything, the you know you are overtraining.
I sincerly hope i don't sound like your granny on this, but i think it's important, and you should, too.

Hi ppl! So, the first night i couldn't sleep 'cause i was hungry. I dozed off eventually. So, the next morning i woke up feeling nasty and generally blah, you know. breakfast was, u guessed it, rice. biriyani, to be specific.
Before i go on, let me enlighten u about this problem i have: if i don't eat anythimg thr night before, and i eat the next morning, i threw whatever i ate in the morning. it happened to me in switzerand; it's called acidity. So, on the morning of the second day, Acidity Struck Back, since i sort of threw up all my rice. then everyone got really worried, like, "are you ok?" and "do you have a fever" and "would you like to go and take a rest in the sick bay?' . It was pretty good, being fussed over. But, the acidity went away and i went to join my group for the next activty, the Challenge Rope Course, or CRC.
Sometimes, in playgrounds, you have these excrecise area with things made from would and stuff, yeah, well the CRC area was like that, only 10 times bigger and a LOT scarier. I ws going on the tyre and rod thing. but when i started climbing the staples on the wooden pole, i chickened out and a climbed back down. Call me a coward, but it was SCARY, ok.
So, after a while, we went for morning tea. after the cake (we couldn't drink Milo cause it was spoilt) we went back to doing CRC. After CRC was SUPPOSED to be rock-climbing, but then the stupid rain came and ruined everything. We didn't go rock-climbing in the end:(, but we did more Campfire Preperations, you knoe, hone the whole thing, and stuff. Finally, when it stopped raining, it was time for rafting!we all cheered up at the prospect of going on the water on the rafts we made (which would be pretty risky, considerin that most of us had never even sailed before, let alone made a boat) but, luck was not on our side. We couldn't go on the water for 2 reasons:
a) It, had just stopped raining so the low tide was pretty dangerous and,
b) a crocodile had been sighted in the lake, so the camp people had decided it wasn't worth it to risk an arm or a leg.
But, we made a raft and learned two knots: the butterfly knot and something like crossfish, or something. After that, it started raining again, so we told jokes. Oh, and instructor Sherry told us this puzzle sort of thing. See, u have to figure out why fauzzi wauzzi likes this but doesn't like that.
I've decided i'll play this game. So, everytime i post something, i'l write something that fauzzi wauzzi likes and doesn't like. Today's is:
Fauzzi Wauzzi likes to sleep but does not like to go to bed. Figure it out! or try to, anyway.
Until next time!
PS. thanks for saying my blog is cool Jean. i really appreciate it :)

Yo!
So anyway, after the flying fox it was teabreak. while we were munching on swiss rolls and drinking coffee, it started to pour. have i told you about campfire prep already? i think i have. so anyway campfire prep was after flying fox. then it was wash up and dinner and our night activity: kidnap. one girl from each group was 'kidnapped' and the rest of the group had to look for her. this game had 3 stages, the first stage was, this search party of 5 ( party of 5 , geddit?) had to go look for the girl who was missing while the est had to solve his puzzle. the search party have 5 minutes to look for the girl. they must come back, and if the puzzle solvers aren't done yet, they have to go keep looking until they find the girl.
so, after 10 million years, when we FINALLY finished the puzzle( we were the last group, and everyone was asking me for the answer, cause i'm a math genius.......NOT!) and the search party found the girl, chief jeff gave us the list of places where we have to do the activities. this is the start of the second stage. see, the girl is 'tied up' at wherever, and we have to get two keys to 'untie' her. chief jeff has this box, with little drawers with keys of every group in it. you have to go to these locations which we found with the help of the map, and do an activity there. when we're done with the activity, we have to go back to the mph and choose a drawer to check(the drawers are numbered). for example, if you chose the drawer no. 13, chief jeff will look at the number on the key inside it. if the number on the key is your group ( if your group is '1' you must get two keys with the number '1' on it) . so we found the two keys ( eventually........) and we unlocked the girl.
but that's not the end. you have to carry the girl up to mph. we were oneof the last teams, but hey, it ws fun!

Ok, so as i was saying, our group name was champs. after creating the flag, we marched back to the hall and waited for briefing, or rather, further instructions on what we would be doing next. It turned out that............................................................................groups 1 and 2( champs and warriors respectively) would be doing......................................... ZIPLINIG AND ABSEILING!!!!!!! Yippee! We were all sooooooooo excited. we went to the area, and we had yet another briefing on how to wear the harness. The helmets were stinky! so, i was chosen to do ziplining first. We put on our harnesses and helmets. Emily (brave girl) went first.
You see, there is the zipline. and under that is this movable trolley. so when the person stops, the instructor pushes her to the trolley and climbs to the top step, where the line thinggums is removed. the people pushing the trolley are called the trolley party people, or TPP.
I really wanted to go, but when i satrted climbing up the tower, i wasn't so keen anymore! when i reached the platform, i wanted to turn back. But i went for it. i just closed my eyes and jumped! oh, and screamed as loudly as i could. It was the most awesome experience ever! I soooooooo wanted to do it again.
This might as welll be a book, there are so many chapters. But, i have 2 go now, tution in 15 minutes, so hasta la vista, see you later!
PS. more aboutcamp next time!
