tomorrow is muck-up day; the last day of school. But realistically, it's been a week-long thing.

Monday saw the eating comp (3 dry weetbix, a chilli, 3 raw eggs, a can of baked beans and a tub of cream), but we had a gun in the year who finished in 10 minutes, so it was a bit dissapointing. Monday also saw the Twister invasion; the art kids played twister in the classrooms all day-run in, play a round, run off to the next.

Yesterday, tuesday, saw 'maroon faces', a very bad talent show that sucked. Ah well. It also saw the treasure hunt; the principal's liscence plates were stolen and a group of students followed him around all day videoing his attempts to get them back; there was a series of clues etc etc.

Today saw the milk run, a classic of melbourne high. I think it's unique. Our school is on a hill, and there is a drive that circles around between the school and the oval at the bottom of the hill, about 500m. The purpose is to runn around it a lot.

After drinking 2 litres of milk for each circuit. And a shot of lemon juice. And food colouring dye. You can guess the result. We also had the year 12 barbecue down on the hockey field, and had photos with our year 9 forms and form teachers. Ah, memories.

So tomorrow is muck up day, when we move away from the more organised activities into student-run ones. My mates and I have a pretty basic idea; we're not lett6ing any year 9s into the school until they answer three questions about the school, one of which is basically impossible (who was the fourth principal?) But there are the customay and cliched ones (eggs, fish sauce, toilet paper in all the drains, etc.)

The art group is planning on walking around in g-strings after the gay teachers, and the maths nerds are planning on painting a mural. The rest of us plan on egging and fish-saucing it Wink

Tomorrow also sees the final assembly, and this is where it gets a bit sad. Three hours of mith and merriment, and then we're done. For ever.

I'll keep in contact with my mates, but it's all the acquaintances-the people who you say 'g'day' to in the halls, etc.Then, 8 days later, the final exams start.

I'll give you an update tomorrow, but after tionight my participation in the forum will be down a little bit until after exams (last one is on the 16th of November).

I've been SO lucky to be at Melbourne High, and bloody hell i'm going to miss it-even the teachers. Maybe not the admin, but hey.

I just hope nobody draws a penis on my shirt tomorrow. It's so bloody private school.

home. And it wasn't really all that good Sad

the gate idea didn't work cos another group was at the same gate, but egging year 9s before they could get in. Ah well.

Haha! Funnily enough I got the 'gay poltics' thing too on mine. I guess it still rings true four years later.

yeah, everyone got 'Queer'ed by Yang on the back of their collar.

BTW, ever heard the "Not the sunscreen song" song by John Safran? It's aussie, but it's quite good. It's advice about what to do after school Smiley

Lyrics:

If you're unsure about what you're going to do with your life,
Try to remember, some of the most interesting people didn't know
what they were going to do at age twenty-two or even at forty,
and nearly all of them are unemployed drug addicts forced to
live on cat food. Also understand that friends will come and go,
this is because of your irritating personality, nobody likes you.
So if the only thing getting you thought the day is the misconception
that people like you, end it now. (bang)
Learn how to smoke Winny Blues, if you're under aged,
get an older kid to buy them for you.
Get to really know your parents, they're good for money,
milk them, then put them in an old people's home.
Travel as often as you can, live in New York City once,
live in Northern California once, never live in Adelaide,
It's a hole.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have
children, maybe you won't, if you do have children,
lock them under the stairs.
Do one thing each day that scares you, sing, dance,
jump in front of a car.
Do not trust anyone who tries to update Sheakespeare
for the kids, and if you see Quindon Tarver in the street,
punch him in the face for me.

(smack)

If you're worried about the way you look, try to remember,
you're probably fatter than you think, maybe you should consider
an eating disorder. Don't worry too much about the future. If
you're nervous about an exam, ring up your school to schedule
time, and make a bomb threat. If you're a girl, lie about period
pains to get out of anything you don't want to do. Cheat if you
think you can get away with it. Remember, someone with richer
parents is getting private tuition.
Shop-lift as often as you can, Shopping Centres factor shop-
lifting into their prices, so if you don't do it, it's like
they're getting money for free. When you're on work experience,
steal a cab-charge, and take a Taxi to Perth.
Wear sunscreen, but only if it's that coconut oil that gives
you cancer. Keep your old love letters, if you see an old lover
in the street, try to run them over in your car.
Don't mess too much with your hair, or else by the time you're
thirty-five, you'll look like Greg Matthews.
Remember you can wear your underwear four times without
washing them, Forwards, Backwards, inside-out Forwards,
inside-out Backwards.



(bang bang bang bang)

Congregate in gangs around train stations and shopping centres,
it's a free country, It's public space. Skateboard on War Memorials.
Smoke in your School uniform.
Set off car alarms.
Plant Drugs on a teacher.
Join a cult.
Spike Drinks.
Don't flush public toilets.
Remember, only you will truly take care of you,
so carry a concealed weapon.
Don't wear your 'P' plates.
Walk around with your eye lids rolled back.
Touch your tongue on the tip of batteries.
Be open to new love.
Remember, you can't get pregnant the first time you have sex.
Expect others to support you, it's easy to get the dole
and still do cash in hand work.
Respect your elders, when your grandma dies, have her stuffed.
Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when you're knee
capped by a loan shark.
Get revenge, don't forgive anyone for anything,
But most of all, don't aim too high, you're probably only
suited to an office or factory job.

Cheesy

Safran also has an in5to and...outro Smiley
