may i also note that this is our 150th post 8D =O

Anyways, i shall recount the more memorable (and maybe some others) moments of annual.

So basically i left on thursday and my mum drove me to epping to catch the train to central since we were taking the countrylink train to melbourne. And im like at the drop off zone of epping station 5 minutes before the designated time for the train to depart and effing sonya (==' who was just hanging around because she has no life / avoiding someone LOL) calls me and tells me i missed my train. So i freaking rush up and everyone is like there. It turns out that i missed the express BUT THAT WASNT EVEN THE TRAIN WE WERE PLANNING TO CATCH >=O.

anyways so we get to epping and like 6 of us feel hungry so we go to kk to buy some donuts. 2 dozen for $20 BARGAIN !!! and yeh, i payed the 20 and eveyrone gave me coins and this resulted in the coin pocket of my wallet bursting which has proved to be really effing annoying. i seriously wanted to RQ at one point when i just kept dropping coins.

Train to melbourne was relatively uneventful. We jsut played card games and stuff and slept. We also brushed our teeth in the aisle using the free water they give us and the free cups we can take. All these people keep looking at us like we were weird or something. And why the hell man, i mean we are the ones who are taking care of our personal hygiene while they arent. THEYRE WEIRD NOT US >=O.

So, we got to melbourne at liek 7 on friday AND THE TRAIN STATION WAS SO EFFING NICE. looked hot. I mean, they had like 40" LCD screens to display train times. =O and they were pretty good ones. but yeh, we spent the whole day jsut walking around melbourne CBD buying stuff if we wanted or just bumming. At the end of the day, we decided to take a horse carriage back to the meeting place and look so G and make everyone jealous. BUT. the foolish driver decided to stop like so far away that no one could see it was us. JIPPED =( what a waste of moneys.

After this, went on Spirit of Tasmania. Dinner was LOL. People at the front "didnt know" that we could only take like one plate of food. So they took like 2 or 3 before they were told. And they were allowed to keep iot becuase the plates were already dirty and shit like that. I was unfortunately the 2nd person who only managed to get away with 1 plate =(. Oh well, i stacked it like 10 cm high so its alright. Dinner was average.

After dinner we just played Indian Poker. For cups of water. And Arthur had to drink like 5 cups (1.5 litres in one go) and the events that resulted were =\. But yeh, was in a cabin with Alex and two year 8 kids. and we swapped with two other year 8 kids so we were in raymond and bigallans cabin. The year 8 kids started chickening out but we convinced them ;).

When we arrived in devonport and practically drove straight to this shit town called triabuna and changed into our cadet uniforms and got transported to Maria Island by this shitty little ferry that was SO EFFING SLOW TT_TT.

And so began our field phase. To be continued...
