So, I have quite a lot to say before we leave for Tassie tomorrow. Today seemed as if it was a day of omens… Why do I say that? Well, first of all, Food Tech. So Nick you sped, not going to school today and you want to know how things went today? Well… I would just like to make this statement. Speds play a surprising role in our lives. Let me walk you through, how Food Tech went today. So, I we’re making a “cake” for Easter, and we also have to decorated it. We made our cakes today, and yes Nick, I also made yours. So, everything was going well. In fact, I’d say that I’m almost better without you Nick. Except for one little tiddy problem. So, the mixing and gathering of the ingredients wasn’t much of a problem. In fact, I’d say that my cake batter was very good, and would have made excellent cakes! I finished a tad after Ethan and Martin did, and relatively on-time with everyone else. One thing, one tiny little problem that we thought we had covered at the beginning of the lesson. We were rejoicing at the fact that this would have been a sped free lesson… however… we all learnt something today… Speds play an important role in our lives, and an important role when in Food Tech. Especially, when it comes to the operation of the oven…

So… Well… We thought we had the oven covered… Ethan turned on the main power switch, turned up the temperature… began to cook! Later on, when they were about to go in the oven, Martin placed his tray in, and said “The oven’s surprisingly cool”… Well that’s maybe because IT WASN’T EVEN ON! So Nick, you want to know how good the cake I made was? Certainly would have been very good, however, it’s only half-cooked, as they needed to be out of the oven. They were in there for 30 minutes in a non-preheated oven. Genius! So that’s Food Tech for you Nick. We will be decorating a half-cooked cake. =D

Other things happened today. I’m supposed to be packing at the moment, but I’ll get to that a little later. So, other things happen today? My shoe broke today. Just before I entered the shopping centre, my shoe broke. I ended up walking around missing almost half a shoe that was still attached to the rest of my shoe. It made a lot of noise as I was walking through. It was a sign. I should not be spending/buying things today. I ignored the sign, and began going about my indecisive ways. So as in one of my previous blog posts, I said I was going to buy a new pair of earphones. I bought them today. Sennheiser CX-300-II’s for $74… They better be good. I was looking at the CX-400 and CX-500 that supposedly have better sound quality, however I have to buy them online, and they cost $100+ and then some for postage crap. I was also looking at the Creative Aurvana’s but they were also a little more expensive. I haven’t opened my CX-300’s yet. I’m scared that I’m going to be terribly disappointed. I also will have to get used to the fact they’re in-ear…

Now, away from today, let’s see how my picks/tips went for the weekend’s round of NRL, AFL and Horse Racing eh?

I tell you what, this week was pretty good. A lot better than last week. AFL wise, I did pretty well. 6 of 7 picks. NRL… 4 of 7 so far, Hursh also managed to pick 4, although some of his picks were different to mine. So, I’m still only leading by one and there’s still Manly vs Panthers in which I chose Manly and Hush chose the Panthers. Should have bet in the Rosehill Guineas. Metal Bender won by a nose! Haha, wow… That’s surprising that he won… Anyway, back to packing!
