Well I'm assuming this week views of the blog will be slightly fewer, due to Chris Lilley's Angry Boys being shown tonight ("it's basically angry birds, but with swear words" - Pretentious Year 10 Student, Courtyard). Due to the fact that nobody will be reading, my blog this week will be unplanned and filled with propaganda!
This, fellow comrades, is the face that betrayed you!
Now I wouldn't really do that. Mr. Bennett is a good, intelligent and righteous man, even if he has shaved off his moustache since defecting to other Colleges...No, today, my peers, I report to you on the school's Cross Country!
A few weeks ago I signed up for the school's cross country, in order to get an insight on what really happens in the big event. I guess I must have forgotten the date, because on Tuesday in homegroup I was unexpectingly given a race number to wear, as well as a map of the course. Turns out the cross country was later that day, and I hadn't given it a thought. Now this was okay, apart from blogging, I only did it to travel the so-called "Wantirna food circuit" (like everyone else who signs up)...
However, this year things seemed odd. Instead of running the food circuit, we were to be running six laps of the oval...how dull! It makes me wonder what happened. Perhaps the principal team were at Wantirna McDonalds that afternoon, negotiating a peace treaty for the ongoing troubles? I contemplated pulling out, however I had heard rumours I would be running alongside Wantirna's College Captain, Cpt. Joseph Cooper, which immediately lured me in once again. And once I had my uniform, I was good to go!
The day turned out well. I did indeed run alongside Cpt. Joeseph Cooper, as well as Wilson Ko and Brenton Dickson, but unfortunately however, Cpt. Cooper ended up pulling out on the second lap, due to an injury. I ended up coming last out of the three remaining year 12 boys, but I only attribute this loss to the distractiveness of Mikaela Dewar, who kept trying to talk to me about useless garbage every time I tried to overtake Wilson.
Until next week friends!
Sam
