Head of School Girls regatta and other stuff / 3/19/2012 @ 3/19/2012
You pretty people may be wondering where I have been during the weekend.
WELL BOYS AND GIRLS, I'VE BEEN AWAY FOR 3 DAYS FOR ROWING IN PREPARATION OF HEAD OF SCHOOL GIRLS. Which is the biggest rowing competition for the girl schools. So after long hours and days on the river, running ramps and pulling ergos, all the pain and hard work paid off at the heats of Saturday and Sunday. My crew was in Division 5 for HOSG. We made and purchased our crew jumpers which look fucking awesome lawl. Anyway, our first heat on Saturday determined where we go next. If we come 1st in the heat, we go straight to the A Finals. If we come second, we get a repichage (a second heat where they verse the others who came second) and if they win that, they continue to the A Finals. The rest, tough luck. My crew came first in our heat so we were put in the A Finals straight away. On Sunday was very nerve racking, but after long talks about how we worked our arses off for this day and all our dedication for it all, we pulled through the sweat and pain during the race, AND WON. Our crew fucking placed first in the division and we were very proud because we won the race and won it well. It was a very sad day too, as I wanted to cry because next season everyone would be moved around to different crews. I love my crew and I love my coach so much. It has been an amazing season with these girls and my coach Charlie. I honestly cannot express my love for them because this has been a horrible yet the most wonderful and rewarding experience I've had.
It's tedious how the Aths carnival was straight after HOSG, meaning the day later. I want my rest bitches, even though we got heaps of sleep at the hotels in Geelong. We slept early and woke up at a reasonable time, BUT I STILL WANT A BREAK. Anyway, today was tiring SHIT. It was so hot and dusty at the venue. Plus, I have not done any homework, why am I even on blogger. So I'm taking the day off tomorrow, just to catch up on some crap. I miss musical rehearsals.
Getting my purple and white awnnn.

I've decided / 2/23/2012 @ 2/23/2012
I'm not fucking continuing rowing next year.
I don't even row but it's still tedious in all sorts of ways.
Plus it isn't as "rewarding" for me because I don't do as much on-river-rowing.
I bloody ceebs.
I like my sleep.
Fuck off rowing.

MY FIRST ROWING REGATTA / 2/04/2012 @ 2/04/2012
Today was my first regatta, and my third day of coxing. I don't know why they would trust me on my third day and put me into races already. But anyway, I endured 2 races today and my crew was in division 4. I won my first one which put me in the A finals and I was really happy but then I came third in that so LOL. Complacency at it's best.
Today was so hot, and even as a cox, it's bloody torture.
