Torn
This post, no matter when or indeed if it gets published, is being written as I lay in a single bed in a hotel room next to my parents. I’ve just driven from Perisher snow fields to Lane Cove, Sydney – over 5 hours, after a full day of skiing with my family. This week is Interschools Snow Sports – the boys ski race for their school. Tomorrow* is also the day my dad has heart surgery. Since dads…

Those moments
Parenting, being a mother, a father, a guardian, a step mum/ dad, an older sibling who cares for their younger sibs – it is a marathon. A race we win, not by being the fastest, but by staying. Staying in the race, swerving and getting back on track. Focusing on the finish line, all the hazy way into the distance and putting one step in front of the other.
There are rewards, pay offs, moments of…

Interschools
Today was interschools, between our school and two others. Generally, our school is pretty negative towards interschools, but this year was different; we genuinely wanted to win. We started to enjoy doing cheers we laughed at when they were introduced, and put in more hours than ever before. Our cheering today was fantastic. I'd never seen us more determined to win. When the cheerleaders told us to sit down and take a break, we told them that we wanted to continue cheering. It was a huge turnaround from just a few weeks before - we finally believed that we were capable of winning.
If only the judges saw things the same way.
We won the athletics trophy, but came second for spirit, and our cheerleaders came third. I can understand us not winning the spirit trophy (the winners are impressive every year). However, I can't accept the fact that they rated our cheerleaders as the worst.
Our cheerleaders were amazing; they never stopped or gave up. They gave 110% throughout the day. Their level of energy and spirit was incredible. There was no contest - they were clearly the best.
Facebook's been full of statuses about the day. There hasn't been a single negative one yet. Everyone's been going on about how we came together for once, and how we were the best school on the day. I agree with every one of them.
Today, our school was united. My voice is half-gone, and turns into a tiny whisper any time I try to raise my tone, but that's fine; it was for a good cause. I'm proud of how my school performed today. I'll link to the video of the main cheer once it's on Youtube. Kthnxbai
It's interschools tomorrow
I'm actually excited about it for once. We've been putting in loads of hours, and they'll have been a big waste if we don't win.
i'll be the first to admit
i love it when interschools makes it's way onto facebook. people get sooo worked up. parel vallei has won for six years and we will continue to win. we are the best and that's all there is to it. proud parel valleier for life bitches ♥
Today was interschools.
Our school cheerleaders came last, we came last for cheering, and second-last for athletics (out of three schools, including us). The school that won the cheerleading deserved to win everything. While we were all leaving the stadium, they were still cheering. The exact same thing happened last year. Maybe next year they'll get some judges who can actually judge.
I feel bad for my friend. Yesterday, there was a Rammstein concert. He got tickets last week from his brother, even though they were sold out (the brother's friend couldn't go). He's been waiting for this concert for three months. A few days ago, his dad said he can't go, because he was, "...under the impression that it was on a Saturday."
I'm not really a Rammstein fan, but even I know that their concerts are insane, with pyrotechnics and everything. If I was offered a ticket, I would've definitely taken it. From what I've read, their concerts are amazing live. He's quite a big Rammstein fan, and didn't get to go. If My Chemical Romance or Escape the Fate or some other band I like came down here, and I got a ticket, and my dad wouldn't let me go, I would be PISSED OFF. So long story short, I think his dad made a bad choice. Sure it was a school night, but good international bands don't come here often, this is South Africa after all.
