My weekend kind of started early this week as I got the last two periods off school to go to Palmerston North for a Bio thing. they did this microscope maintenance lab which was pretty boring but then we had a group dinner and this guy gave a 1 hour talk, (with practical!) on misunderstandings in science and he focussed mainly on ideas to do with diffusion. It was pretty neat and the practical was totally useable in the classroom. Hurrah!
Then MC who is another teacher and I went back to my place and got all 80s upped for an 80s party that another school person was hosting. Beau also came. We didn't get there til about 11pm but it was still neat. After about an hour the school contingent all left for Steamboat to do karaoke. But then none of them really wanted to do karaoke they were mostly too drunk (TOO DRUNK TO KARAOKE!!!!?? yup they were gone!) or something, and all the other ppl singing were lame.
KB was dressed as madonna so I requested Like A Virgin for us to sing as I know it off by heart thanks to singstar. After 30mins (the DJ, or maybe KJ? was really useless and slow) our song came up. KB didn't want to sing she just wanted to get up there and dance and lipsync to me! Anyway when I started singing all these people got up and danced and a couple of other girls tried to glom onto my fame and get on stage and sing with me, but KB took the microphone off them after about two notes saying "You can't sing, she can, just stop". I was a star! I left pretty much straight away after that.
The next day I dropped Beau off at the hospital and then went to his parents house to await Svend. He arrived and gave me foriegn candy! Hurrah! We hung out for a while with his mum and agreed that we would be back for dinner, but that a shower and a nap seemed like a good idea for both of us. Ahhh naps are sooo good. Beau finised early at the hospital and we just hung around at home til like, 8pm when we went and had yummy pumpkin soup with garlic bread at Beau and Svend's parents. Yum! After that we headed off to the SVP and stayed there long enough for me to drink over 3 standard drinks and witness some.... handholding! Trust me! Mega exciting!
Next day I got up and wandered into town and bought some Fin pants and a DVD for Lee. Jenni, can I come over on Monday and give it to him? I also ate lunch ON MY OWN and then wandered over to see if my mum was at her new little food stall. She was! I called Beau to see if he was up and eventually we got organised and saw "the Village". I liked it and was afraid but I am a big wimp. Puggle and Svend came too and I partially spoiled it for puggle by clinging to her and asking her what was happening when I couldn't bear to watch the screen.
Then! Puggle and I went to my parents to wish my Dad a happy Father's Day. They fed us. Hurrah!
Tomorrow I am only teaching one class, and they are having a test, so I shall go swimming. Ooooh yes. I shall go swimming.
Wish me luck!
