But I Would Walk 500 Miles And I Would Walk 500 More

It is officially summer for me now! I have finished all my exams and all I have to do now is go into school for the induction days and to get my results! I’m so excited.

Hopefully I wont get too much transition work so I can relax and enjoy the summer. My friends and I are having a picnic on Friday to celebrate the end of exams and a big sleepover sometime as well. I just want to fit as much as I can in this summer and have fun!

Last weekend, I did a big walk with the Scouts to raise money for the district. It was 25 miles and we had to carry all our equipment too. Nearly everyone dropped out at 20 miles because of stuff like cramp, dehydration and blisters. One guy had over 20 blisters on his feet! There was only 3 left, including me, that carried on.
The last 5 miles was the best I think. I really annoyed my Scout leader anyway! He told me to skip and so I did! He looked exhausted and he said he would never be able to break me! He he!
When I got home and looked in the mirror my face was like a tomato and you could tell where my watch had been on my wrist, I was that sun burnt! My feet all swelled up when I took my boots off and I could bend them very well. =(
I would so do it again though!

What are you doing in the summer holidays/to celebrate the end of school?

How come you have to wait so long for the results? We get kicked out of the room and then the teacher + someone else have to decide what mark you get and then they let you in to tell you..

Aww.. That’s always hard saying goodbye.. But hopefully you’ll stil be seeing each other even though it’s not the same at all when it’s not the same school!

Sounds good about the fun part. I plan so too. As much fun as possible now that it’s summer!

Wow that’s amazing that you walked 25 miles. I wouldn’t of made it, I would of been those people that dropped from dehydration lol

Well I still have school so there is no summer vacation for me but I’m going to try to fit in some summer time
