Of Nerdy Things and Netball Finals

Yesterday, I must say, was one of the best I've had in a while.

My best friend's birthday is tomorrow, which happens to be the same day as father's day.  We decided that we would celebrate it yesterday rather than tomorrow!  Everyone from our group brought lollies and chips to school, and there was also party hats and cake.  Well, one friend works at a bakery and she was going to get of her work mates to make a Harry Potter themed cake... well, he totally forgot.  So we had chocolate cake instead!

At lunch, there was junk food everywhere.  It was insane the amount of food we had.

There were three of us that went home with her for her party.  She and her mum made a cake that was shaped as Hogwarts (pics later, maybe) and we got to decorate it with lollies.  She had gummy slugs, cockroach clusters (which were crushed pretzels, peanut butter and chocolate), Bertie Botts, sherbet lemons, pretzel wands.

It was amazing!  We watched the Little Mermaid, the first Harry Potter movie, then we started watching AVPM but we sort of fell asleep.

This whole time I was trying hard not to eat all the junk food and needed to get to sleep early because today is.... my first netball final!  Well it isn't my first, it's the preliminary.   I've been in the grand final twice (winning one), but last season I lost the second final for the team, and this year we plan on winning!  I will make sure of it!

Here's how finals goes:

1. The first and second team on the ladder verse each other (we are second), and the third and fourth team verse each other.
2. Whoever wins out of team one and two goes straight to the grand final.
3. The loser plays the winner our of three and four.
4. The team that loses out of three and four is completely out of the finals.
5. The team that wins the third game goes to the finals.

Now... if we win, we will go to the grand final and get a week off.  If we lose, we play again next week.  We will win.  I am sure of this.

Anyway... I need to go get ready.  Wish me luck!
