This is the time I tell you it’s the end of January so I’m writing something

Ok, it’s the end of January and i haven’t written so here goes, I mean I have loads of excuses, but mostly I’ve just been kinda lazy. So HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

So a few days after new year I headed off to California. The plane flight obviously was awful, since it was a day flight which means no naptime. Aw. Anyway I got to see City of Ember which was alright but a bit had to follow, though I admit I wasn’t paying strict attention.

For the first time we stayed in a hotel instead of cramping into the grandparents place, (for me that means no more sleeping on a half-inflated air mattress so you can see why I was excited). I got to meet their new dog, a cute little guy called Rollie. However within ten minutes of arriving grandma fell. We panicked when she found she couldn’t move and called an ambulance. Dad and grandpa went with them and mom and I were left waiting for the phone to ring. Turned out grandma had broken a bone in her pelvis and was coming home for bed rest for 6 weeks. This started other problems, she got terrible leg cramps and had to have an MRI for her ankle which was dislocated. Poor grandma now has a heavy cast on her leg and a prescription of 12 weeks bed rest. 

This all panned out over three days. The second day my adorable and annoying nieces came down with Austin and Stephanie to join the party. Hooray! My parents spent their time with grandma and at the hospital, sadly missing out on the aquarium and the zoo. But I had a great time. My nieces are a lot of fun. So it was a pretty disappointing first leg, even worse for my grandparents though.

The next leg was lots of fun! We flew up to San Fransisco for a conference from my parents. Anyway it was lots of fun. We went to lots of places. I have some photos so I’m going to put them in since I can’t be bothered to talk about it even though it was awesome and the food was great and stuff.

Boudin bakery, Ghiradelli chocolate, yum yum!

Yeah anyway it was fun. 

And then I had International Summer School at McDonald college which was awesome!

And then omg! HIGH SCHOOL! Hornsby Girls High School is great so far. Even though I’ve got homework already. I’m not in class with any of my Beecroft friends but I am in a class with Alicia so I’m super happy! And the best news! Izzy got it so she’ll be starting on Monday! Yay! 

I’m going on the train to and from school and I’m not sure about ballet and how I’m getting there. I have lots of young teachers and lots of  pale teachers. They all seem pretty nice. I’ve met some yr 8s I know so it’s cool and I’ve made friends. So anyway yay for high school!
