Encounter Schoolies
Man I just came back from Encounter Schoolies 2004... it was awesome! haha so much so that I simply have to blog to tell the basics...
well, for those of you that don't know what encounter schoolies is, here's a bit of a background. "Schoolies" is a BIG party for the year 12s that finish school. It's a yearly thing. SO, every year, ok in South Australia, people (year 12s) just come down to Victor Harbour and have parties. Most of the time, most of them are so drunk that they are off their face.. some Rape and Sexual Assults always occur (there were 2 this year). Encounter Schoolies is a team of churches that come down to serve the Schoolies. It can be anything, from cooking them noodles to wiping vomit off their face... to playing skipping games and the Bungie Cord thinggo.. organising games..
It can ge pretty full on there, cos Schoolies lasts for 5 days, and by like.. Tuesday, everyone's nackered and pretty much dead. Our shift starts at 8pm.. and ends at 3am. We get back to the lodge at 3.30am.. and have abit of supper, and get in bed by 4 or 5am.. then we wake up at 12pm, have a team meeting, and free time till about 5pm.. then we have a big whole team meeting, then dinner, then go back to serve the schoolies. HAH...
I shared a bed with Kim TIng haha and we didnt get to sleep till about 6 or 5 every night. THat's cos when you finally get into bed, you don't want to sleep.. haha its as if our bodies got used to this routine of nocturnity (is there such a word) haha but it was so much fun!! haa
I got talking to a few schoolies, and yeah!! hope i built lasting relationships... man.. I just got back.. Im gonna be so dead tonight. That's about all thats happened so far.. if i think of anymore ill blog it.
deb's outta there..
