Driving...

I've been driving for about 6 weeks now and it's alright. Of those 6 weeks I've driven every 6 of 7 days because I drive to and fro school, to and fro from my training and to and fro from my social activities. I'm not in love with driving, in fact, I would rather sit in the passengers seat and sleep or play with my phone or eat. Wow, how I miss those good old times.

I have driven with my whole family including my dad, my mom, both my sisters and my brother-in-law. All of them said that I'm a good driver.

There is nothing really in particular which I find hard about driving but I am working on my finer points now. The only thing which I need to brush up on is switching between my headlight to dip and from dip back to headlights. I get very annoyed when driving at night and the driver coming the opposite way forgets to dip their lights. But I know that they must be getting annoyed when I forget to do that as well.

Driving on the motorway isn't difficult, it's really much easier than driving in the town and in the city. Mainly because there is much more room to drive and it's mostly a straight drive and no sharp turns.

Hancock

In the holidays I went to see the movie Hancock. This movie starred Will Smith as John Hancock. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie because it was funny and had plenty of action. This movie is about a hero which everybody knows as Hancock. Hancock isn't the role-model type of person. He abuses alcahol and has anger-management issues. The story is based on Hancock becoming a better person which includes going to jail in the process. Along the way Hancock finds more about who he used to be as he could not remember anything since 80 years back due to amnesia. Hancock falls in love and becomes weak and then the bad guys kill him and then somehow he comes back alive and is a good person.

Logan Campbell



Logan Campbell is representing New Zealand at the 2008 Olympic Games being held in Beijing this year. The sport Logan Campbell represents us for is Tae Kwon Do. Logan is an extremely kind person and is fun to be around. I haven't spent much time with him, the most amount was when I went to a training session with him and he coached me. Logan just recently came back from Korea, where he was participating in The Korean Open. For anyone who doesn't know much about Tae Kwon Do, Korea are equivalent to America in Basketball or Australia in Cricket. So that means that they are flippin' good. Logan won this competition and is a very good preparation for the Olympics. I think Logan has an okay chance at the Olympics at medalling.

Whangaparaoa College vs Kaipara College

Unlike the last game, we won this one. This time the other team wanted to play more Rugby instead of trying to get into scraps. The final score was 27-5. Rory scored two tries! Now he is ahead on points over me AND Woody, the two people who were teasing him about not scoring any tries. The other try scorers were Taylor, Jordan and someone else who I can't remember at the moment. This was a great game for us because we are now well and truly out in front on the points table. I think our team has come a long way since we started at the start of the season. We have gelled together and we distribute the ball more to all the players in our team. We support each much more. And we can also count on one another to do their certain jobs that come with their position. Eg. We can count on JT to spread the ball wide, we can count on tommy to take down the wingers on the side and we can count on Woody to run it up hard at the defence.
The Starting lineup was:
1.Woody
2.Mat
3.Rory
4.Jacob
5.James
6.Logan
7.Vinay
8.James
9.JT
10.Corby
11.Eamon
12.Jordan
13.Jassie
14.TOmmy
15.Trent

Yes, I know we are in Division three and yes Westlake are the best at rugby. But no, we did not lose to them, why? Because they were Westlake Boys(3). The final score was 10-0 in our favour. Two tries were scored one by Taylor and one by James. Corby did not convert them.
