Hi everyone,
I just went on camp with my class out to Totaranui in the Abel Tasman park. We had been preparing in our camp books for month. We wrote about 50 pages and hap to put titles an borders in every single one. The camp was really fun, but every day was packed to the brim. We started our trip on boat from Kaiteri beach.





Then we tramped to our homestead through the avenue and set up our bunks.






That night we slept in tents though, which wasn't that fun because I was in a tent with 3 other boys that had just eaten beans.



Th rest of the time it was a lot of activities and tramping. Our main walk was to separation point which is what these pictures are of.


The funnest thing about camp was that Friday night there was a camp concert and everyone had to participate. All the boys in my bunk didn't know what to do so we all joined together and a kid in my class called Mainaia made a spoof of the Miley Cyrus Hoedown Throwdown. We all spent ages learning it. It starts out with Manaia saying that this is an Usi-Baa Production, the MCC Hocolate Hoedown. Then we start dancing and singing the words and at the end when we've finished we go "What team?" "Usi-Baa Productions!".
I had a really fun time at camp!






Next week was when Chch South Intermediate came over for an exchange that has been going on for 35 years. I got a billet and it was really fun. These where our costumes to the 80's, Thriller themed disco. My friend Finn is the one with loads of eyeliner and the other is my billet Jak. I am the joker.

Here'a a geeky sort of post. But it is something I discovered today and, yeah, I find it sort of cool. Geek!

See, it used to be that the way MS Windows sorted numeric filenames was the order 1...11...12...2...3... You see the potential problem. I was copying a bunch of stuff between directories and trying to make sure I had everything, you know, eyeballing the two for differences, and I happened upon some 701's listed down past the 9's. Now how could that be?



OK, this has been going on for some time now, all by design. Cool. It is again safe to go outside.
