wednesday 17 october

today we went to belgenny farm. well, i did anyways. with my history el class. because it was a history elective excursion. i dont think there was much of a point going there. i think the teacher only allowed us to go because our grade didnt get to go in year 7.

when we came in the most standing out thing was the toilet. it was labelled rams and ewes instead of m and f. then we became shephards, chasing sheep over the bridge and into their little caged area. then we watch 2 dogs, bill and hank, do a much better job of chasing the sheep. then we watched a demo on how to sheer a sheep. the sheep was so very woolly and it's wool came off like a coat. the sheep looked very naked when its wool all came off. poor sheep. wows. i cant believe how cheap sheep are. ><

- lunch. is it not ironic that i was eating chicken roll whilst staring at chickens screaming their heads off? -

lets see.. oh yesh. we were divided into 3 groups. my group looked at the buildings first. apparently, the owner of the farm, john macarther, died in front of the fireplace. his death is still unknown i think. the door to his room is like stuck so you cant get in. and when you look into his room through the little door space you're suppose to be able to see the silhoutte of his clothes or something. i didnt see anything though. anyways. the next building was a stable. we had to be historians or something. i wouldnt be a very good historian. then we went to the haunted mill. 200 years ago or something this drunk guy in the macarther family was looking for his wife but nobody would tell him where she is incase he hurt her. this guy name james went to look for help but was killed by the drunk guy who climbed onto a horse and ran off. later on they found his wife covered in the drunk guy's blood. he suicided. a year later they held a memorial for james and his face was seen passing through the top window. scary?
then we went to the black smith to bend metal. nothing much interesting. except maybe the bellow, even though i didnt want a turn to pump it.
finally we made butter. our group was the slowest in making butter. then we got free bread with our butter spread on top. yay free bread and butter. T_________________T

- recess. -
the cemetery. of the macarther family. where we saw emily's tomb. she was 7 when she died. and her coffin was damaged by some people some time ago. for those of you who don't know emily, ha. >____________> if you took photos in the tomb, the photos wouldnt come out. scary? the only photos that ever came out were some of the ones taken by the tour guide. then it was time to head back to school. T_____T we had to step on dettol before we went on the bus incase we caught the horse flu.
-hometime!-

jenny's house

HAHA theresa! You better remember whatever it is you dont want to remember. Anyways.. WOWS I'm posting.

Today Sophie, Theresa, Aimee, Mandy and I went to Jenny's house. She wouldnt let us in until Theresa was here. Theresa was suppose to follow some conditions before we were allowed in. We went to the petrol station nearby and bought water balloons and ate noodles before Sophie came. Then.. we went in to Jenny's room whilst waiting to dry up and we talked about stuff I can't remember while Sophie and Mandy were playing Pokemon on their DS. Then we traced pictures on catalogues [yesh we were that bored] and then played the grudge game. Every time we go to jenny's house we always play the grudge game. It's like a ritual and we never finish it. Meh. Then we walked to the petrol station again and found it was closed. Ahaha. We say a guy in a little motorbike filling up petrol once. Then I think Theresa left. We begged her to take us to her house. Then Sophie, Mandy and Aimee played eyetoy whilst Jenny and I stared and laughed. Haha.

And all this time Jenny Lam was at some party in some rich house in Canley Heights, thinking that would be way better than what we did.
