Drunken Poet's don't ask for much


Its the H o l i d a y s and I'm starting to slack a little already

The first few days have been swell, last night was spent at a pub celebrating the 18th's of the Marinelli brothers. We got the WHOLE pub to ourselves and it was an awesome night, although we did have a downer halfway through the night.

The day before last night which was Sunday, I spent in the city regarding personal matters. I highly recommend that you go out and watch 500 Days of Summer and visit one of the italian outdoor restaurants in the city. Maybe even get yourself a slurpee at 7-11?

Actually wouldn't mind a slurpee right now.

Again, I've found myself with nothing to blog about. Think it's time I picked my guitar up as I didn't get to play it at all yesterday due to the party.

1979

" It's the second last week of school & exams are in a month or so "

That is a scary thought. Stress is basically stockpiling inside my head as we speak. The first exam I believe I have is Music, not too sure if it's practical or theory.

So what's been going on lately? I honestly do not remember anything these days, minds always up in the clouds thinking about god knows what. What can I say? School?

Let's see, practice SACs for english on which I freaked out about because I only wrote 300 or so words during the two of three periods we had to do it. That last period, the word count went up to 798.

I need to get myself out of this slackened state. The end of the year is looming ever so closely and I need to finish this year how I started it. I'm going to miss school a heck of a lot. All the memories that I've gotten over the past few months have been nothing but positive ones shared with the people I care most about, my friends.

Study Camp at Newman College, now there's something I won't forget any time soon. Waking up as the birds were singing outside and catching the train to Melbourne Central. Walking from Melbourne Central to get to the College grounds and finding out my room was behind the laundry area and my fellow block mates were Jason, Khoi and Ary. Looking outside the window would be Thongs room and the tower of the College church.

*many lectures and hours later*

It's 10 and no ones about to go too bed anytime soon. A meeting has been organised as Jason, Greg, Khoi and myself are about to sneak off into the girls dorms. We meet an American student who's here with his class from the states. We ask him to show us how to get into the girls dorms and like ninjas we sneak around the back of the building and end up going to a carpark.

Now at this point, I was pretty sure that Jason, Greg, Khoi and myself were thinking... "we wanted to get into the girls dorms...but you've lead us OFF CAMPUS"

and so we headed to a pizza joint on Lygon street and wasted an hour or so there too only go back to the college and do a sneak run back to our rooms. The rest of the night involved trivial pursuit (yeah, real fucking bright idea, Jason) and eventually having Greg and Khoi head off to their own blocks. The night for us ended at 3am

The next morning was heavy bags under our eyes and a hearty breakfast in the awesome dining room of the college. Again we had lectures and the reach program which made alot of people very emotional, heck it made me teary to see my friends crying. Insert hot weather and lack of sleep with some lectures and BANG you've got a room of students falling in and out of sleep to an old person ranting about Catcher In The Rye. Before we said goodbye to the college we had one last assembly which some teachers fell asleep listening too and were set on our way to go home.

down the end of this hallway is the entrance



It's hard to believe this happened just 8 months ago, feels like it happened yesterday.



To any of my friends who read this, thank you so much for what you've done.
