Ruse09- The prologue

I guess crashing Jason’s place yesterday deserves an honourable mention; thanks for having us over! And your dad is an awesome Italian cook *thumbs up*. And upload the less sus photos soon! xD

Highlights of the day/night; Guitar heroing on a playlist [again] that I’ve virtually not heard of [Hooray for my lack of rock music knowledge!],
- observing how freaky/no-lived some people are with finger-stepmania
- Watching the NRL grand final [Went for eels outta obligation; after it, it was NSW vs. Vic…but meh, s’only a game] Guess the better team won, but it was funny watching shiva be…so pumped xD
- Dinner: fettuccine? I think it was called; Jason….can we get your dad to cook for our formal? xP
- Jungle speed. Who would’ve known playing jungle speed with Aditi, Shiva, Edward, Rex, Jason and I from 8ish all the way to 12 would be so fun? I am typing up this blog post with a half cramp on my right hand, a soreness on my left knee and some sort pain on my right lower abdomen….I guess that’s part of the jungle-speed environment, eh? =P. Which also implies how violent we got. Whee epic battles!...and everyone getting nail polish [Again, Jason post up your photos! =D].

Three things that need to be set in concrete regarding last night’s jungle speed:
1. @JASON- since you got punished 10 times, stay to your word; and we’ll be seeing you with a pink tie at the formal ;). Just be glad you’re not going with anyone, matching colours would be a pain =P
2. @ALL THE OTHER PLAYERS- I believe you’re all coming to school on Tuesday; NAIL POLISH STAYS ON UNTIL THEN. xD
3. @ EVERYONE THAT’S BORED ENOUGH TO READ THIS; If you see us tomorrow; we’re not queer. Oh, and any stupid quotes/pictures you see; its late a night; its like an alcohol, almost >_>


Well, I guess this post is a prologue to the main post; but hooray for more reminiscing!
Things I’ll miss about the routine of going to Ruse:
-Waking up at 6:45 in the morning after hitting the snooze button about 5 times [Or not waking up at all until 7:30...]
-Eating breakfast in the car [Both back when I was being driven + driving now]
- Driving on the same road for 6 years, and getting caught in Bankstown traffic every day.
- Seeing Manbir, Jen and Lee's [and every other P plater's car ] cars parked opposite the school already.
- Signing on at the finger-print system/ going to roll call every morning
- Going to the library and seeing people already there, and homeying about.
- Doing "homework i was meant to do last night but didn't because I ceebs doing so" in the morning, often with the "help" of people =P
- Hearing that familiar sound of the bell going off, symbolising the start of the day.
- Going to class:

• Mrs Bal and her dire need for coffee/chocolate in p1 english =P. And the on-going feud between her and Xining [usually on matrix].
  
• Mr Bal and his general "good, you're done for the day" laid-back attitude in our education =P. And him talking about being "top students" and "if this were a real school, we'd have real equipment" [and real teachers jk xP]
• Mrs. Maitra and her patience in dealing with the rowdy bunch of people thats known as our chem class, as well as her epic -"speed hax through the syllabus" technique [which really works!]. And also note how mank always gives the late note for mawson to forge in these lessons =P
• Mrs. Flannagan and her massive 'jungle books' of notes [honestly, we talk about biology and etc. yet never give a second thought to how many forests we've killed in the process of studying it >_>], and how she overlooks the fact myself and I do hw on the sheet =P. Also how she always says "distingrish"...guess the asianness is affecting her too.
• Mr Perrins and his bri'ish accent, and his epic detachable glasses; I must get meself one of thems when i'm advanced in my years =P. And his general enthusiasm/humour as he teaches maths.
• Oh, and for all the lessons where applicable; watching tina come in with a late note every day; and you'd think living close meant you'd get to school way earlier =P. [Oh wait...*looks at james xu]

- Hanging out with friends under the canteen sails/ next to the english staffroom during recess and lunch.
- Going to the canteen and buying their overly priced foods...and watch how some junior would whore all the hash browns.
- Being the spectator of many a rage-fest/ biatch fight in our maths frees [Names shall remain undisclosed for the fear of denting their future employment opportunities =P]
- Going to the passive area on thursday lunch to take focus; I'll miss you guys!
- Avoiding random hair ruffling from certain year 11 people xP
- Cracking lame jokes/insults with Alan, Chris and HTL, and in recent times, screwing up alan's bag on the daily basis.
- Making a dash for the bus once the 3:05 bell goes off, and pushing and shoving as we tried to squeeze onto the bus [More junior years, hooray senior prio! :D]
- Forming up on the parade ground for cadet days [and subsequent roll marking/ epic fail drill]
- Going to iscf leaders on tuesdays and the actual service on fridays, to be trained, and encouraged week after week.
- Jazz ensemble on friday arvos; seeing Ms. Jenns so passionately take us, and watching Alan sing OOOOOOOOOOOOOH SWIIIIING LOOOOOW.
- Going to maths tutoring straight after, where there would be countless interesting convoes and funny moments happening [mainly from jessie =P]
- Catching the infamous scheetyfail trains home from redfern, and always being entertained by the antics of Bryan's sussness + freaky...glares-smiles? at tian, osbournes hyperactivity/energy, the countless random box puzzles from mx [...shades...of...wagga?], and making a dash together for the train thats due in 1 minute because we've talked too long =P.
-Getting home post 5, and bludging til dinner; and more bludging afterwards [oh right! homework!.....eh, i'll do it tomorrow], msn convoes with more buddies.

And finally,
I'll miss going to sleep at 11pm+, knowing that the next day will be just like the one before; full of fun opportunities, priceless moments and a warm, open environment!


Long post under progress: 80%, length: 7.7 pictures....
Also, they're not going to be anonymous...unless you would like to sort through 40something entries to find out who you are xP. And i know time makes enemies of us all, with hsc coming up
etc.
edit: oh snap! great minds think alike; seems someone else has beaten me to the chase; but its all good :D

Oh...and does this blog actually update on google reader? I get the feeling it lags alot...if thats the case, I might actually move to wordpress [*shock**horror*]...any one want to convince me? =P

But for now, good luck studying, remember to stay healthy and mentally fit as well! And cya tomorrow if you're going to the phys/chem thing!
