Monday 12th September The scenery and environment here is breathtakingly beautiful. Makes me feel like writing poetry... After much (emphasis on much) suspense, Wardli members were announced today.The members of Wardli 4 (owner of the "awesome" porch couch) consist of: Nehna Ahamed, Bella Chambers, Holly Davies, Yaoling Qi, Letitia Townsend and Yours Truly. Three exciting weeks ahead! Hopefully everyone will get along :)

Tuesday 13th September Letitia made Vegetarian Risotto. I assisted... S'all good, no-one was poisoned :) We played the Spotlight Game. It was sorta ruined by the luminescent full moon.

Wednesday 14th September First Fun Run! Thank Golly, the run is on every second day. I would die otherwise. Tooo muuchh efforrtt. Excursion Day. Sleep. Listen to music. Go to Op Shop. Buy belt. Sleep. Kadina Museum. Listen to music. Moonta Mine Museum. Lunch at park. Georgia finds a friend. Stare out of window trying to find anything interesting. Fail. Sleep. The excursion was very enlightening and intriguing but left us very tired when we returned to Wambana. Dinner was fried rice and chicken with cheese made by Yaoling. Taste good.

Thursday 15th September Innes National Park. Native plants and animals are so fascinating. The day commenced with weeding of a pesky weed whose name I can't remember. I was a bit devastated that the flowers were purple. GOOOooo Cedar. It was so hard to pull up. When there are sharp rocks on the beach, I learnt that it would be best to keep your shoes on. D: We picked up rubbish on the beach. We picked it up. The thoughts of the longtime benefits to the environment remind us that it was not pointless work. In fact, it keeps you feeling happy about the difference you make. :) NIght was intense with cute wallaby watching and the winds bashing on your tent. Mosquitos are number 1 on my list of hated things. Argh. Best feature = Long drop toilets. Lol,jks. (It wasn't that bad)

Friday 16th September Woke up in a tent. A sharp rock was digging into my back then I realised it was more than one rock. It hurt. Then I realised that it was the first time I had slept in a tent. Yay me. More weeding... Why are the ant hills always right next to the plant?! But I found the weeding relaxing. More picking up rubbish on a beach. I picked up a lot of rubbish on the way to the end of the beach, but I was playing with the water at the end. Guilty as charged. Back at Wambana, I took a loooong shower.................................... 3 minutes didn't really feel long though.

Saturday 17th September Fun Run Day! I improved my time thanks to Yaoling! (not Georgia) Yay! 2 minutes and 28 seconds better than my previous time! So Happy :) Food Shopping today. Wardli 4 bought heaps of food! At least we won't starve. Beach games were fun... except I was on the losing team nearly every single game. Georgia's team always won. Every.Single.Time. Because she wishes she was amazing as me. I won... once. Sand got into my eyes and clothes and... it hurt. Movie Night. We watched "John Tucker must Die". //So// related to Realise.

Sunday 18th September Sleep in. Yay!!! But I normally sleep until 1pm at home... Oh well, it was appreciated considering the busy schedule here. Snorkelling today. I didn't do it. Magazine Beach (Pebble Beach) was fun. I fail at trying to skip stones on the water. They flew sidewards when I threw it straight. D: Apparently Georgia swears in her sleep. @.@ Early lunch. I helped prepare but I did a bad job on cutting. I finished my individual part of Science. Chill Out Time was scary! So many bugs. I saw a considerable amount of ants.. then a spider... then random flies which kept flying onto my face...then an annoying fly/bee...then more mosquitoes (why don't they go away!).. and a bird bashing itself at a window. And now I am writing my blog...

Monday 19th September Today so windy! :( The trip to Hardwicke Bay was cancelled because of the wind but we still had a great time. BAKE OFF and Quiz Night. Wardli 4's Cake tastes the best. Brownies and jelly. Wardli 4 lost the couch. ( it was ancient, so s'all good. we didn't mind)

Tuesday 20th September Point Pearce Aboriginal school. The children were all so cute! It was an enjoyable day!

Wednesday 21st September Snorkelling all day. The waves were large and the water was cool.

Thursday 22nd September Windy. Yoga to start the day. School Work. I tried to be productive. I tried. We designed our mosaic and I coloured a star purple! Cedar Star best by far! Then we shovelled manure and hay. I had a shower straight after.

Friday 23rd September Fun Run. Improved my time by 10 secs. :) Classroom work. Stress.stress.stress. Watching how the wood oven works. Burn, Fire, Burn. Blueberries and tree planting. Unfortunately we didn't plant any blueberry plants. Cold Chill out. 2nd coldest chill out so far. Pizza Night. Sharing is caring. Empty compost container. Me freaking myself out with my horror stories in the dark. Movie Night. "Wild Child" Sleepless Night.

Saturday 24th September Emily's Birthday! Fitness game. I was the leader with Letitia. :) We saw a bordie collie playing/ being teased by a magpie. Classroom and blogging time. Mosiac so fun! TOM! CAME SECOND EVEN THOUGH 4 people! Yay! oh, and almost came close to sleeping outside!

Sunday 25th September Attempted a sleep in but woke up at 6am Activity was scavenger hunt. Tiring but fun. Fun but tiring. Gonna ...~@.@~ Wendy for telling me not to bring my camera. Science and mo-sa-i-ca-king. Something like that. Free time, chill out, dinner, science. Oh. And today I remembered why I don't cook...

Wednesday 28th September Surfing. Sitting on the sand. Class work and movie. work work work work work. Oh my Gadlfy! How could I forget Bingo! 13 unlucky for some.... How could they?!?!

Thursday 29th September I started this awesome day by BEATING MY RUN TIME! and now it is the... LAST NIGHT OF REALISE! Disappointing morning. No waves, no surfing. No building sandcastles * ahem* Pretty amusing though. 3 hours bus ride overall trying to convince Sharon to play Asian songs! She said no. :( but it has got me questioning, questioning, WHERE IS THE LOVE? .....I found it in hot chips. Class work/ cleaning/ watching Finding nemo. Yummy leftover food by teachers. Last Blog! (I think) Can't wait to get home and start the holidays.. ....and read manga. !!!! Work has been a stresser but REALISE has made me realise... THE IMPORTANCE OF SPOONS!
