21st October 2010
Hello again :)
I know this is becoming a bit of a habit now but, sorry for the length of time betwee posts, ive been really busy, this last week has been really hectic, all the work seems to be have dumped on me at once, and im desperatley trying to keep up with it all, English presentations and in-class essays history assignments, mayths and physics tests etc. Its all flying in. iu am really enjoying it though, iu am definatley learning alot, and its all very interesting. (Not much time to be bored during the IB!)
The week before was amazing though, October break, with the first year camp and a trip to the beach thrown in, so much fun, the first year camp was really good, just like cadet camp, only without the disiplinery marches and press-ups and sit-ups along with the shouting and the orders :)
The camp was designed to break up the social groups that inevitably form when people are put together for lenghts og time, to stop you just staying woth the two or three friends that you are closest too, and it definatley did its job, i am much closer to some people that i normally would have just said hi to, on the way to classes.
The trip to the beach was good too, very relaxed and chilled as always, on the saturday me and a group of friends hired bikes and went cycling along the coast to a beach about half an hour away, called 'Punta Uva'. It was really beautiful and the sea was so warm.
The business with the evacuations and landslides is over now, we havent heard anything more about the 'state of readiness we should be in' or about anymore movements in the earth, so, we should be safe enough for now at least :)
My BESTEST buddy i the whole wide world, Andres has been desperte to get a mention on here, the reason being that "rich got mentioned first!" so here we go:... A big shout out to Andres guys, who is the winner of this months' ....
< ... drum-roll ... >

Hey guys, the college have called some people in to fix the internet so hopefully it will be a bit more reliable in the next couple of weeks.
The beach trip last weekend was amazing, so much fun to have that sense of independance to organise a trip across a foreign country and put it into practise. The second we got there and checked in to out hotel (Rocking J's) we all grabbed out trunks and towels and we wet midnight swimming in the heavy surf, so much fun because you can see the waves coming until they break, you just here the rumbling and then you ahve a 7 foot white wall oif water hurtling at you haha great fun :P
The beach in the day time was B E A utiful, although the sun didnt out out and it stayed overcast, the sand was so white, and so soft. And i still got a little biut sunburt on my nose.
We are going again in two weeks, CANT WAIIIIT!!! im definatley taking my surfboard next time! haha
Yesterday we all got called into the library to have an emergency meeting. About landslides being caused by heavy rain. We were told to back a bag with things for anything up to a week's worth of things. this made some people panic somewhat but its all undercontrol now, the warning has been lifyted and its all coming gradually back to normal, great to have some excitement though.
Anyway, i will try to put up some pictures of the beach trip and try to get some of the landslides up on the mountain
next post to come soon, bye guys :)
