sports day.

so the last few weeks have been a bit of a blur. not only were my parents here but it was sports season here in the hills. our after schools usually involved practicing and trials all leading up to the big day. everyone here at woodstock is divided into 3 teams, the eagles, condors and the merlins. we compete against each other in all sorts of events throughout the year, it's a good way to try to get some school spirit going and finding other schools to play against is sometimes hard. our "field" is located about a 1000ft down from the school, so convincing students to come practice is a little difficult, not to mention the tight corners on the oblong field, atleast most of the donkey poo gets cleaned up for the big day....







very serious business as usual.



one of the highlights is the end of the day staff relays. as you can see, someone is a little excited... but some staff get pretty into it, going through elaborate warm up rituals in an attempt to not look so old and slow. the students love seeing us all run, and there were no injuries this year so i guess that means it was a success.



i was surprised chris got this photo of me, i guess our camera has a pretty fast shutter speed... just call me flash.
