Is it spelt jipped, or gypped?

5 07 2008

I’ve been feeling really exhausted as of late, so waking up at 1pm this afternoon was no surprise :p Over the last week, I’ve been pretty flat out with work, church and other commitments and things I put off until holidays. I’ve managed to get about 3 or 4 major things done from my “Holiday To-Do List”… But there is still a hell of a lot to go.

Yesterday was the last day of Term 2, and in following tradition at Girraween High, Year 12 hosted the school’s annual Talent Quest. It brought back memories of this time two years ago when we hosted it. I was lucky enough to pop in and see this year’s talent quest in between doing work upstairs. I didn’t stay for much of it – pretty much only the beginning of it and the very end of it.

It was nothing compared to 2006’s Talent Quest! I don’t only say that out of loyalty to my own year group, but they didn’t have a proper scoreboard projected, and they ran out of acts about half an hour too early so they had to rope in some last minute performances and re-do some of the end ones and pass them off as “encore” repeats. Note here, that there was no All-Year 12 Finale act either! Oh and the one thing that really stood out to me was that the major prize was a large glass jar of M&Ms! Hahaha, two years ago when the “Cool Group” won the talent quest with their 90s Mini Medley, we got a $75 cash prize! Poor little Year 7/8 girl that won it probably didn’t even know she got jipped!

Anywhooo, I should probably go and do something more productive.
