urban week 2

urban's almost half gone :[ week 2 was only 3 days long, which is completely stupid. we shouldn't get weekends and public holidays off...its unfair to the girls on trek <__< and i wanna be doing something every day anyway

its an excuse to not practice piano and go to chinese school :] stupid viv went today and i didn't know... they watched "i not stupid too" which is okay with me *youtube*

So day 5 of Urban was the City, Summit, Surf thing :D plus, it was 7/11 day...FREE SLURPEES. yeah anyway :] it was so much fun, I was in a group with Emma, Chelsea, Julia and Leah. We took a Lilydale train to Croydon first, and caught a bus up to Skyhigh Cafe on Mt Dandenong. The other group missed it by a tiny bit, we watched them running after us LOL. Felt happy and sorry for them :] mwahahaha. There was this guy in the bus who saw us with our massive Melway and thought he'd help out a bit...which was cool, and great help :] but then he just...sat next to us =/ and started to get creepy. Thank god he was gone before we arrived :P had to trek up a small mountain before we actually got to Skyhigh...AN HOUR+ EARLY...THE TEACHERS WEREN'T EVEN THERE LMAO. We called them but I think we were calling the wrong number for 15 minutes, cause when we finally got through to the number, some random picked up. All the groups finally rolled in (and the teachers :P) but the group that we beat came JUST in time. I had a smartie push pop :D yummo. glued the thing in my journal (looks like a toilet roll), plus part of the 7/11 slurpee cup :P after the first stop checkpoint, we took a bus down to Belgrave station and got on a train (lottsa video taking here :P) and waited ages for it to leave...then we spent a fricken hour and something on the train til we actually got to Fliders =__= the other group were on the same train so we got off the train and sprinted to the tram stop thinking that we had lost them....but no. ahahhah, so now, it was a matter of who could run to the teachers fastest. We were lucky, as soon as we got off the tram at St Kilda, we spotted the teachers, and the other group misread the instructions and went running for Luna Park. SO WE WON......except, i hope our points don't get marked down cause we forgot to call the teachers to check in =/ anyways, Erika (from the other group) and I walked around St Kilda (cause we were friends again :P), I got another free slurpee (the customer thought I was robbing 7/11) and we walked to the beach :] sat there for a bit til Min and Amanda (who came last ROFL) joined us...to build a sandcastle and a waterless moat (LOL). Had a whole lotta fun, and went home :D

Day 6 and 7 were both at William Angliss Institute TAFE...some TAFE that teaches hospitality, cooking, tourism and business management. Min missed the train she was meant to catch with me, then missed the one after that...she rolled up 40 minutes late cause obviously she'd get lost :P it was a bit confusing, but really, you just had to take a tram to latrobe st (i ran there instead lmao) and a tram down latrobe st just past flagstaff station. Day 6 was making pizza! Walked to Queen Victoria Market to buy fruit and vegies (we each got given $5)...we didn't know we had to buy the cheese and meat as well, so we had $3.50 left for that LOL. Turned out it was supplied anyway...but we got back to the place, got dressed in out chefness outfits and started making our dough...took forever, and it was sticky as hell but i got there :D while we waited for the dough to rise, we cut up our toppings and fruits. I can officially cut kiwis, mmhm. so then we got our very rised up dough and spread it onto a tray, BIGGEST PIZZA EVERRR. It was like...bigger than an A3 piece of paper and had SO MUCH CHEESE...i think we went through about 2kg of cheese that day :P i had hardly any time to eat the pizza, i went straight to the bread making (fun shapes, yayay) and then by the time i got that done, we had to clean up O__o burned myself on the pizza tray, cause i forgot the other hand had no teatowel and went to grab the tray cause my hand was getting hot :P yet another excuse to get outta piano

day 7 was awesome, we made chocolate!!! we watched some random video about cocoa beans, tasted cocoa liquor (BLEUAHGHAULSDJKHG) and cocoa butter (*DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLS*) and i ate a cocoa bean :] tasted like shit as well. buut onto the chocolate making. all we had to do was take the warm chocolate and pour it onto the marble and move it around til it cooled a bit.....and obviously i ate a lot in that process :] then we put the cooled chocolate back in with the warm chocolate til it reaches about 32 degrees, then pour them out into moulds. whatever chocolate was left, i ate :P the chocolateman made some hollow chickens, clowns and bears by using this funny looking magnetic machine that looks like a theme park ride for chocolate moulds. i got a chicken :D and took a lot of chocolate shreds and pieces home....yep :D had a barbeque lunch that day, watched scoobydoo! and played ping pong :] end of week.

aaand we go on camp tomorrow to the murray river :D!!!! gotta get to southern cross at fricken 7:40am, and I still need to finish packing my clothes. the rest is all done, in ziplock bags :P my toilet paper looks hilarious. pissed off that i have my period on camp again, but i stocked up on tampons for surfing and didn't need them :] so i think im all good to go xD!! see you in a week!!!!
