It's Definitely Been A While

It's been about a week since I last posted, and I would like to apologise for that.  I would make an excuse of being WAAAAAAAY too busy, but the truth is that I have just been freaking lazy!

I have to say that today has been one of the greatest that I have had in a while, because I went on a helicopter ride, and all was well!

Haha, so last year I was doing Aviation, and then I decided that I would drop the subject.  So this year I am doing free period instead and I just sit in the Aviation class anyway.  The topic that the class are doing at the moment are helicopters - it's only a small part - and the teacher decided that he would spend the budget on bringing a helicopter to school so the class could learn about them then go for a ride.

Then the teacher turned to me and asked if I wanted to come along too!

So I missed out on half my classes today and there were about 10 of us all up that sort of hung around the oval, eating icy poles and drinking fizzy drinks (that bwahl provided - he is freaking awesome) and we took turns, 3 at a time, going in the helicopter and going for a 20 minute flight up the coast.

And the guy flying was young, single and absolutely gorgeous.

Anyway, I have some pictures here if you want to see!

So this photo here - the camera is pointing straight out the window... we were on the side, and I must say when it first happened I was shitting myself, because the door is mostly glass, and also the front part is all glass.  It's an amazing feeling actually.  The best part about it.  Oh, this is Hilary's Boat Harbour, by the way.  Here there is a water park that consists of three water slides, trampolines and a mini golf course - nothing spectacular.

And this is our second school over - yes, it landed at our school.

I must say that this was an amazing experience - although it isn't as good as flying a plane.  Yes, I have flown one - more on that later.

I'll see you!
