day 171

That mark on my leg (which is bigger in real life), that was made with my own foot. I love soccer. I also kinda love my wicked ankle tan.

day 170

Its amazingly difficult to take a picture of any part of your body that isnt your face without it looking A) inappropriately sexy, or B) strangely gross.

day 169

I think I got a bad name around the family as Maya hogger. Maya Is just the cutest kid you have ever seen and she has developed an appetite for my jewellery. We get along like a house on fire, unfortunately the rest of the family isnt too pleased that we hang out so much. I think they're just jealous that Maya doesnt eat their jewellery. (note that im not wearing my necklace: its in her hands)

day 168

I hardly know who I am anymore! today I played soccer with a bunch of NINE year olds, DIDNT knock any of them over, and THREW THE GAME so I would lose.  I have never singley done any of those things, let alone all of them together. I think all the children liking people I hang out with are starting to rub off on me.

day 167

Everyone gives you 101 tips on how to survive year 12 and exams. They nelected to mention how to cope after year 12...

day 166

This is what rope burn looks like. What burns most about it is the fact that I will be belaying again tomorrow and the next day. ouch. Helping teach a kid how to ride a bike is an immensely fulfilling thing. I explained dynamic stability and momentum to an eight year who not only understood (after some explaining), but said back to me later on “yeah, I put my foot down on that corner because I didn’t have enough momentum up.”  Teaching can be great sometimes.

day 165

I have a new favourite toy. Its called a heat knife and its amazing. I used it to cut the end of some climbing rope today and it took all my self control not to cut absolutely everything in sight. I could have had so much fun with it!!
