I am looking forward to cross country skiing next week. Even though it wasnt my number one preference I am glad I am doing it now. Origionally I chose surfing which is close to where I live, we have big swell on yorkes and it attracts many professional surfers. I can surf anytime so going on a cross country skiing trip will be completley new to me. Even though I have skied many times before, camping in the snow will be unreal and very different.
The thing I will find most challenging on the trip will be the skiing part of it. I have recentley torn my hamstring and after 10 weeks of rest I played footy for the first time last week. The hamstring is very weak at the moment so I will find it difficult to walk through the snow with weight on my back. With the weather being below zero degrees it will be even harder to get the blood flowing through the leg to the parts most needed.
I hate traveling! The tweleve hours on the bus will be like tourture to me. I cant sleep in a sitting position and I often get cramp if I sit on my hamstring for too long. I get very grumpy when I am tired so any one who annoys me will cop a mouthful of unpleasent words. I am a boarder so I live a pretty independant life, therefore cooking and cleaning is nothing new to me.
I think challanging yourself is very important. I challenge myself wherever I can, motivation is the key to gettin a positive outcome of your challange. Perservearance plays another important role in challangeing your self, quite often you will not succeed on your first attempt therefore you must keep trying.
Overall i am looking forward to learning new skills and gaining knowledge about the outdoors.

FRIDAY 15th of june

Let me start by saying I know nothing about shakespeare apart from what we learnt on thursday. I have already read them and highlighted key points that may be useful in the essay. I cant say i have ever read peoms nor seen any of shakespeares plays. I have never come across a script for one of his plays, however i have seen "Ten things I hate about you" as we studied it in english last year. i thought is was quite a good movie untill we pulled it apart, pulling a movie apart in pieces ruins them for me. I know that Shakespeare is known as one of the best playwrites and poets of all time, this is a very good achievement and is recognised well today. I hate doing drama type things so you would never see me in the play, however i would be quite interested in going to see they play when it is finished.

In theartre it is rumoured that if you you mention the play "macbeth" you will be cursed.
There is a way to counter the curse. If "macbeth" is mentioned backstage the person must leave the room and turn around three times anticlockwise (as if to go back in time) and must then knock on the door three times to be granted permission to re enter the room.
