Muck Up Day no.2

On this day, it's a tradition in our school to chop up our uniforms and make them into something else, each group with a different theme or dress up.
From first thoughts of 'german barmaids' which we thought were probably too 'slutty' or most likely taken by some other group (which did happen in the end), we decided to gnome it up with shortalls, pointy red felt hats, and our choice of props (I chose a fishing rod whilst others chose garden tools or a ukelele).  I think our group has something to do with gnomes; from gnome singlets and ceremic gnome statues (which we each have), I must say we really are gnome-ing it up
This muck up day we had a range of dressups: eskimos, playboys bunnies, cheerleaders, barmaids, red riding hoods,  cowgirls, nurses, Harajuku girls, Alice in Wonderland, scarecrows, and pirates just to name a few, not to forget those garden features - le gnomes.

hanging with my gnomies

rounder with the teachers anyone?

With my little sisters: my little year 7 buddy Rachel, Li-ju, Tracey and Alissa

A fun last day at school was well spent, but it would not have been accomplished without the hardwork each groupd put in to making their individial costumes.  For us, it was a day by the sewing machine, sewing away which made us sew happy hehe.

Next post will be about my valedictory dinner (graduation dinner)
Until next time :)

Muck Up Day no.1

The first muck up day started off with...just a random packet of M&Ms mmm yummy, but it wasn't your usual packet of M&Ms.  They were a packet family of happy M&Ms who had been friends for quite a few years and know each other just like they had been friends for years ٩꒰๑❛▿❛ ॢ̩꒱

M&Ms featuring: Mannie, Laura, Kirsten, me, Maddie, Meaghan, and Mary

We felt like such celebrities? on the second last day as people would constantly ask us for photos, even overheard a little year 7 kid saying "omg, are they M&Ms?" Yes we were, and we brought every chocolate lovers childhood back :)

mmmm

On a side note, we were meant to go as Crayola crayons however US postal services *cough* unreliable snail-speed service *cough* should really update their service speed, as our crayon costumes which we ordered from America were meant to arrive in Australia within 5 days since we chose the 'express' international shipping option.  Instead, they arrive after 10 days on the day of our muckup day afsdkhaslk, well after their quoted delivery date (ﾉಠ益ಠ)ﾉ彡┻━┻
So we had to come up with a cheap, quick and easy idea for costumes, and came up with M&M's which are really just round circles of felt stuck together (leaving a few gaps for the arms and body) and the letter 'm' sewn on both the back and front and voila, you have your M&M costume!  Thanks to Kirsten, Maddie and Shirley who made these costumes at the very last minute.

Since we're girls, we love dressing up so the whole year level came as different things or people - footballers, sailors, superheroes, Where's Wally's, teletubbies, jungle girls, just to name a few and of course M&Ms  (｡╹ω╹｡)

Class of 2012..with some missing

Best year level ever!!

I'll be back soon with more post, stay safe everyone especially to those going on schoolies, toodles :))

Pre-Muck Up Days

Hey guys, I'm not officially back from my hiatus, but I have a week's break before my next exam so I thought it would be good to update with a post during this time.

For those of you who don't know, 'Muck Up' day or week is when year 12 students who are in their final year of high school set up pranks and other activities on their week or days of school.  Our school only allowed us to have two days of muck up day so the number of things we could do to our school was limited, however we had a free dress day the school day before our official muck up day started so it was a chance to get a few things started :)

Just a few rules I made up for muck up day/s:
Rule number one: do not start all the activities all at once, start from minuscule things and increase in size and effectiveness.

'Take what you need' passes that were distributed around the school, because I go to a girls school, the above 'passes' are appropriate eg. cramps sports pass, longer skirt/dress pass, cake-face removal.  There was also a 'one direction immunisation' which is thought was pretty funny

Second rule: do not damage school property but make it annoying for others

'Watch your back' on the bathroom mirrors
excuse the runners, it was a primary school dress up day

Make it difficult for those who annoy you, such as those year 9's and 10's who hog the bathroom mirrors everyday after school for a good 30 minutes to reapply their orange cake-faces with more orange-ness, before meeting up with da bois from neighbouring schools...

Rule three:  Make a big impact without doing much

blocking the B block building stairs, mission complete

Trapped those year 9's so it made it impossible for them to get to their lockers at the end of lunch, on both side of the building too!  Just sat and chilled whilst we watched the faces of those middle school kids go  \( ･д･)/ mwahaha.  Also increased the effectiveness of the prank by completing a marathon around the school with around 120 other year 12 girls by screaming and running which freaked a lot of girls out *score*

Rule four:  Suprise teachers, this step may include ambushing the staff room..

free dress day (HP) in the staff room

On two seperate days we ambushed the staff room (by informing the co-ordinator first so we wouldn't get into trouble) and gave out detentions to teachers, made ourselves at home with a nice coffee, and stole quite a lot icypoles from their fridge (❛▿❛)

However, suprising teachers may end up with consequences...like being paid back the following day

Rule five:  Time for payback, or you could always give them a nicely wrapped present :)

Someone wrapped up the vice principle's car (I think) in glad wrap, always good to have some extra protection whilst on the road :)

Rule seven:  Just have fun! (but don't injure anyone)
Our school decided to join up with the guys from Camberwell with a water fight after school with water guns and water balloons, however some girls chickened out at the last minute once they heard that there would be 80 or so guys... so only around 50 of us had to tackle them, impossible.  Being immature badasses they didn't just chuck water balloons but also sausages, tomatoes, apples, and hard-boiled eggs. who said it was a food fight?!?  Oh, and I was hit in the jaw with an unbreakable raw tomato, whilst my friend was hit in the chest with an apple ugh those bastards (ㆆ﹏ㆆ)
So we did end up losing the water fight, what can I say of course they would've won, but it was still really fun as one of the last days of school ʕ•͡ω•ʔ

That's it for now, should be studying for my business management and geography exams which are next week, and then high school would be officially over!! Wait for the next few posts which will be about muck up days and my valedictory dinner, up after my exams that is :)) toodles~
