The force is strong in this term...Term Three already. Oh my - what the hell. This leaves us with, effectively, 14 weeks of school for the rest of our lives... I really cannot believe how fast four years goes.
Anyway, straight into blog-affairs.
On the 15th of July, the heads and deputies went on a little field trip to learn a lesson in team tactics. The only reeeaal thing that must be reported is the great might of the females side. Girl power. Fun times had by all except Ben who got his contact lens knocked out by his own team mate. Boys. Pffft. Over butter chicken and tikki masala we discussed a plethora of ideas and initiatives for the upcoming term.
The biggie for me and Sarah at least, was the opening of the Common Space. Yes, it just became a proper noun with its capital letters. Such is the importance of it. Waiting for three days outside Mr. Lewis' office only to realise he had forgotten why we were there... Good on ya Lewis! Needless to say, he was stoked that we got this issue off his mind and we were stoked that we finally had a nice, warm place to cook our nice, warm noodles.
Common Space has a facebook group that you can join if you're a year thirteen (you would have received an invitation). Discussions and news go here:
Day one, week one of term three was Monique's Birthday which will be specially featured in this school related blog only because she is my wife and I must.

Happy. Day. Birth.
Tuesday's lacrosse training went well, we're getting ready to kick arse at Auckland Champs on the 6th of August.
At show rehearsal we are all getting better. We are starting to get louder and Dev and Nellie seem happy. Just a few times where words are failing. Looking forward to Sunday rehearsal where we try to sing and dance. On top of that, I'm sure we'll all be stoked to see the set! It is nearly finished and Jenks has done a superb job! The best school set I have seen yet!
Wednesday was opening day for the Common Space. Special thank you to Christian and Cheerag for providing balloon money. We love you long time.
Thursday and Friday - two lacrosse games. EGGS and AGGS. Both went down. All that needs to be said.
A big well done must go out to Isabella Wilson and the Amnesty International people for doing an outstanding job with their assembly item, bake sale and photo shoot - all during appalling weather conditions. You are truly awesome.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find myself not rostered on this week at work leaving me a carefree Friday to watch Glee and a sunny weekend to write blogs, run errands, run and fill out scholarship applications.
The week moved by so fast and it was encouraging to see everyone's facebook's status': "Made it through the week with no absences..." Well freakin' done! Repeat that times nine? :)
I am bloody excited to see what this term holds and I really don't want it to be over all too quickly. Needless to say, I'll be waiting patiently for the next holiday. I'll be waiting. Term after term...
