back to what i was saying

anyway, back to what i was originally talking about before i got distracted in my last post.

i don't know why dad decided to send me here

it was Thursday of the second to last week of school for term one and grandma(dads mum) had been visiting with us for a week, she was planning to return home the next day, Friday. Thursday at school was just an ordinary day of school, i went to my lessons (fell asleep during math but... anyway) and caught the bus home, just like normal. but then it started getting a little weird when dad picked me up from the bus stop, he suddenly announced that he'd decided to send me home with grandma instead of one of the boys(my brothers) because i am older and more experienced with travel.

now where was i... that's what i get for leaving this overnight, i completely forget what i was going to say.

ah yes...

i didn't know whether to believe him at first but as the evening wore on i came to see that he was serious, he organised with grandma to pick me up early the next morning and told me to pack my bag for a week or so away. i was still rather confuzzled but did what he said, i actually managed to remember to pack my copy of the odyssey and my maths DI, i even packed my English supporting studies for fly away peter (despite the fact that it was actually due on the Friday that i was travelling on). so I've managed to complete my odyssey essay and my maths DI, although i haven't managed to do any more of my English, not that it would help me.
anyway, so the next morning (Friday the 3rd April) grandma came and we left by about 8ish, dad had given me (verbal) directions on how to get through the city, which was nerve racking, but once we got through the city we just continued following the road all the way to broken hill, then onto cobar.
which is where i am now btw, Cobar, NSW.
although we left at 8ish we didn't get here till about 9 at night, hence about 13 hours travel. tiring and long and... sorta boring, not much to do in a car. and my legs got really stiff. but once we got here it was OK.
i cant be bothered writing anymore atm, I've lost my train of thought again. ill post more later about the rest of my trip.
