then slept for 2 hours in the afternoon coz i couldn't stay awake.. the couldn't go to sleep for 1 1/2 hours that night!!!! i've decided that after a week of staying up past 11 and sleeping at odd times my body just doesn't want to sleep at normal times.. | ||

| Orienteering race (Mt. Ainslie North) 42:49 [3]4.9 km (8:44 / km) | |
| Selection race. Did okay I guess considering the fact that I was having difficulty opening my eyes. I didn't push it very physically or anything esp as nomi and belinda both couldn't go and I didn't want to die before musical that night, but even so I mentally could not have coped with anything much more navigationally difficult, even though it would def have been on the easier end of a red course. I was pretty impressed by the difficulty of the course considering the area actually, coz usually they only have orange courses there - nice work coach grant.
Sooo I did okay just a couple of little mistakes; there was a tricky long leg where I basically just contoured for a while, dropped a bit by accident, saw a gully that I thought might be the gully I needed to stop at but actually wasn't, but in my tiredness sorta just thought I'd keep going when I couldn't see a fork anywhere and after another couple of hundred metres found the gully, ran up to the fork and knew where I was. oh and at another point i wasn't sure why i couldn't see the control, so i think i just stood there for a minute, before remembering to actually looook for it and seeing it about 5 metres down the hill. It could definitely have been worse - my navigation was terrible and yet I didn't lose heaps of time! i'll just rock up after partying all night to nationals this year and see what happens..... | ||

| eww selection race is gonna be grosssss!! i'm gonna be wandering around with the most massivest everestt bags under my eyes singing (out of tune of course) "FAME! I wanna live forever.. I wanna learn how to fly" under my breath in a weird drugged out sorta way, and maybe seeing the occasional orange flag...
ooh in other news, i aactualy went to school for a few hours today, and guess what? right when I was arriving everyone was evacuating to the basketball courts coz some retard tried to burn down the boys toilets. sooo we waited outside for almost 2 HOURS while they put the fire out and cleared the smoke. I WAS NOT HAPPY. | ||

| FAME has officially opened!!!!! First proper performance was last night, and we were sold out aaand had to put in a few extra seats. It was pretty cool. I think we could have done it a bit better though. Maajor dilemma: The clip for the box thing with all the electronicness of my microphone broke during the middle of a dance, so the whole thing slipped down and I had to grab it to stop it smashing on the ground, and then I had to try and dance and sing while I was holding it and then trying to stick it in my belt so I could finish the song without looking like toooo much of a retard :( it was terrible. oh yeah and then I had to wear one of the belt things under my top that usually only guys wear coz girls have it clipped to their bras, and the belt was too big and uncomfortable. | ||

| Running intervals 17:00 [4] | |
| Training with the coach of the act cross country team and his squad people. except that i didn't actually know who does training with him regularly and who doesn't.. it was all a bit wierd and i didn't know anyone.
buttt we did a minute fast, then made a mark, and walked around for a minute, then a minute trying to get back to where we started, then walk for a minute, then another minute fast, then walk, then fast... then walked for 3 mins before doing it all again. Wasn't that hard actually - he said he'd make it shorter for people like me who hadn't done anything like it before really. | ||
