The Lolly Nazi

Bet you're curious now, eh? But I won't tell you.. yet.. :P

Yesterday was alright, we had a writing workshop at school, didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the horrid essay they gave us to mark (we did both), and then school was finished for the year. 13. October, and you've had your last day at school.. Wow!

It's not completely correct though, we will still attend school for a goodbye lunch on Friday and then travel to Bourke along with one of our teachers. No lectures in Bourke, but I guess there will be lectures in Japan when we arrive there shortly after Bourke. I don't mind having classes though, and I very much look forward to everything about both Bourke and Japan. (Julie is a bit scared though. We're doing home stay some of the days in Bourke and Japan, and Julie is not too happy about moving in with a new family.. (In Japan they might not even speak English), in addition, she will have to face them alone.. That's right, we get one family each to bugger, so we will sleep separately for the first time in weeks... or, we might be sent to bed in between an old weird married Japanese couple, because they have no more beds... That's what I'm scared about..) :P

As for as school stuff is concerned, yesterday was yet another day of not getting work done. Working in the house we live in is impossible... But! Happynews! There is always a new day :) And today, we have both started and written half of our assignments (hey, it's better than nothing!) and we are both happy about being able to focus again:) Although Julie is surfing the net as we speak, and I'm, as you might see, updating the blog :) All good fun, we're having a good time, and we do miss people at home :)


(Here I am again, thinking about publishing and not even mentioning anything about the Nazi Lolly Lady who graciously lent her name to title this blog.. Shame on me. I'll introduce you to her. The Nazi Lolly Lady works at the bookshop, were I love to go, and in the bookshop they sell candy (they call it lollies), which I love to eat. All good so far. So I walk over to the candy shelf, read the price, take a cup (they have candy in cups) and start filling it with my current favorite: Sour candyworms.. Mmmmmm.... Then Nazi Lolly Lady comes over and says I'm not allowed to do that. (You're really brave if you try to stand between me and my candy, but she was obviously completely ignorant of the grave danger she was in..). Apparently, you have to choose a lot of different things, because some of the candy is more expensive than the rest of the candy, and I would ruin them (3 dollars..) if I only choose to take one type of candy.. So even if I actually chose the cheapest type of candy, I would still have to fill it up with other types, as to not ruin them...

I was in the mood for candyworms... Stupid Nazi Lolly Lady..)
