A drive in the country

Pushing one-ninety down the open road,
Guzzling thirty litres a minute, with wind blowing through my hair,
Cops in the mirror, sirens screaming with double demerits,
But I don't care, all for a drive in the countryside.

Jack & Steven

Poem that Jack and I pumped out during English Adv. We were annotating Skrzynecki's A drive in the country and Levick had us brainstorm what images came to mind for a drive in the country and then got us to write a poem. With Tom away, Jack and I actually had to think, well, think a little harder than usual. Jack wanted to put all the negative stuff to mind into th poem, but it ended up with a positive spin. Everyone else's sounded better though, especially the haikus.

Jack had proposed that when he turned 18, he wants to go barhopping. I think that's a good idea, but someone's got to be the designated driver. Currently list stands at:
  • Jack (when he turns 18)
  • Me
I think Phuong and Ricknam celebrated their birthdays today, but they are only turning 17, not in time to get drunk when Jack turns 18 or after HSC.

I got conscripted into writing skits for the year 12 concert. Or did I volunteer? Right now, I have a basic outline with 5 skits each around 5 minutes or so. Jack, Sophia and Anderson want in, so I can definately say we have some star power on it. Should be done next Monday, with character biographies and script with stage directions. If I'm going to do it, I might as well do it properly.

Physics Prac ReTrial is on tomorrow. Classes are F3, F4 and A4. Dunno which one to go too, but Gough suggests to troll the hallways. Period 1, so I miss out on my free period. Luck to the people who needed. I intend to get there early and jump up to see if I can see the equipment, but I won't be telling anyone. So there.
