Waikato Athletics

On Thursday, 1st December, I will be going to Porrit Stadium in Hamilton. Five of us from Otewa School are going to Waikato Athletics and I am one of them. Even though, I'm better at the track events, I will be competing in a field one. Shot put!! And to be honest, I think that that is my worst event. But I placed in our school athletics, then the town one, so I have to go on to Waikato. I'm quite looking forward to it. I don't really expect to get a placing, but it will be a really neat experience. And a day off school!!! My best friend Anna will also be going. We plan on going up in a car together, to save fuel - but mostly 'cause we just want to go up with each other!! Wish me luck!! Thank you to everyone who reads my blog - Kayla's Korner of Kool. Actually, it's not called Kayla's Korner of Kool, but I think that looks pretty cool. Anyway, WISH ME LUCK!!

Bye bye Year 8, Hello Year 9!!

In less than three weeks, I will never be able to call myself a Year 8 again. Last week, on Tuesday, all of the Year 8's in the area - about 80 - attended an orientation day at college. After we were split into four groups, we each recieved a time table and headed off in different directions. We played a game in Social Studies, did some experiments in Science, made a necklace or two in Tech and finished off the day with a massive game of dodgeball. It's funny to think that next year, I will go to that school everyday, wear their awesome uniform, have a locker and the weirdest of all - having to go to a different classroom for every subject. The other weird thing - leaving behind all of my friends at Otewa School. There are about 50 kids at Otewa and only four of us are year 8's. I'll be leaving many great friends when I go to college. But I'll also make many new friends. It's going to be a great experience - quite a scary one - and I'm just glad that my older brother already goes to college so he can watch out for me!!

MUST READ

I have been on the lookout for good quotes to put on my blog. I really liked this one I came across. Do you think we'll still be friends when we're little old ladies? That we'll still get the giggles and luagh until our bellies ache? Do you suppose that we'll still talk for hours and tell eachother anything and everything and share gossip over coffee and tea? I do. I think we'll be friends forever. Go to read read more to get the link. Click here. If it doesn't go straight to the quote, click on best friends, then page two. Thank you for visiting.
