73) pretty hectic

Last couple of days have been pretty full on.

Wednesday was the start, With the school we went to go watch Wicked the musical, which blew me away, I was in awe of the entire show. Although things didn't go the way I planned and was knocked back every time I tried, It didn't really matter cause you distracted me from my thoughts, thank you. It was the most tiring bus trip I've been on, and I've been on my fair share. But this was totally worth it.

Next Day I wanted to stay home, But I forced myself out of bed and went to school, knowing I had Industrial Tech, Music, Double Maths and Double Advanced English, I was exhausted after that. But I thought to myself, I'm not the only one tired, there's a fair few number of people who are feeling the same, so I'll just tough it out, I'll go home and sleep it off. I lay in bed ready to let the fatigue of the bus trip and school take control. Then I hear the phone ringing, a minute later my little brother, Ethan, comes into my room and tells me I have to go out to the restaurant to work, because they're busy. At that stage I thought to myself, Okay fair enough, Grandparents are gone, I'll just go and do it without complaint. So I work how ever many hours it was, wasn't really counting, just wanted it to be over. After they let go home at like 9ish I realise I have a fair amount of homework to do. So my night ended around 12 o'clock. Sleep was a great relief.

Next day, Today, I woke up at 7 am Realising that today we'd be moving the music equipment to the RSL hall in Moruya. No big deal I've done this before, I got to school to find that most everyone has gone to Moruya already, So John Rzepa and His dad were there tying the stage down on their truck. So go with them to Moruya. Getting there we carried to stages into the hall, Keep in mind that I'm still tired from the previous couple of days. Then driving back to school for the second load, It took us 3 hours to make both the trips load and unload the truck. I was pretty spent by the end of it ): But that was only the morning. Afterwards, because there was only a small number of people their, due to hospitality which meant more people didn't come, but with so much work to do, it made everything take twice as long with less people. Here's just some of the things I did:

• Carry equipment to truck
• Load truck
• Unload truck
• Carry equipment into RSL
• Sort equipment
• Decide where the table are to go so the stage can be propped up
• Lift stage
• Help to secure stage
• Walk into town to buy cloth tape (solid black tape)
• Hang up backdrop
• Attach lights to suspended poles
• Test lights
• Adjust lights
• Attach Razz Matazz (big ass light) to ceiling
• Set up spotlight
• Cover stage with stage curtain

That's as much as i can think of everything else is kinda of a blur. Well that was a long day but it wasn't over, I'd come home and had 30mins to get ready for work. Leaving the house at 4ish I cam out to work till 9ish. Not too busy so that was good, well good for me. I'm hoping to catch up on some sleep tomorrow morning.

I think I've had enough excitement for a while, unfortunately for me I'm not due for a long rest until the second week of the holidays ): Hoping I can keep my cool till then.
