Schoolies 08.
I'm not 100% sure if other countries have 'schoolies' but I'm pretty sure most people in Australia must know what it is. Basically at the end of grade 12 all the seniors go on holiday for a week to pretty much anywhere, mostly beaches, and almost everyone in Brisbane ends up going to the Gold Coast.
I can sum the whole experience up in one word.
CRAZY.
I think the whole 'no parents, no boundaries' thing really set in over the week. The hotel I stayed in was pretty dodge on rules and pretty much turned a blind eye to the vast amount of alcohol we all had... though once the manager got angry at my for putting an umbrella in a hedge
I was never actually going to Schoolies because my dad assumed I'd end up getting raped or hurt except my mum convinced him to let me go this September even though everyone booked the year before :
Thankfully my friends had a spare spot in their room but the room ended up being ages away from Amanda's room which would have sucked if Emily wasn't so nice and let me have her spot in the room.
I was down there for an entire week, Saturday was kind of crazy because... well I'm a serious light weight considering I pretty much never drink and I drank way too much the first night and we all discovered I'm quite the emotional drunk, I cried over everything... Tuesday was bad because it was tequila Tuesday and I ended up passing out, not before eating the scorpion at the bottom of the bottle though. I cried over that one as well because I didn't know if I was vegetarian or not anymore since I ate an insect. All the over nights weren't too bad though, it was very nice to have an actual bedroom since in the unit we were staying in had two beds out near the living room and one actual bedroom with a double bed... hell yes for the double bed
I ended up with like a massive amount of injuries though
Nothing major, just a whole heap of bruises...
I bruised my lip and cut it open cause I smashed it with a bottle, I tripped down a set of stairs and hurt my legs as well as falling over like a billion times, I hit my hand into a wall and cut it up a little and some how I bruised all under my chin
Don't know how that one happened
It was the craziest week of my life, also one of the most fun as well
I'm just glad I'm home now... with proper food instead of two minutes noodles.
That's all I ate the whole time, which totally got gross by the end of the week

Re: Schoolies 08.
I want to graduate JUST for schoolies
Being a lightweight is a good thing, dude you save money on alcohol
and well I'd say seeing as you still hold your values and you were under the influence to a major point, it's fine. I know why you worried though
It sounds like epic fun. Srsly. and I'm glad you two got to be together after all ^_^
Also don't worry too much about the bruises; alcohol worsens bruising. Hence why me drinking is such a bad idea, because I'm fucking clumsy as it is

Woowwww Katie. Sounds like drinking is dangerous for you. XD lmfao.
It sounds like you had so much fun! I'm jealous!
My graduation was smack bang in the middle of the week (which our school does on purpose every year to stop people going to 'leavers/schoolies' so no one from my school got the full week to celebrate.
I couldn't go though. >_< I had no annual leave hours at work and my training started. Ohwell.
I'm glad you had fun. :] I've heard that the Gold Coast does some epic stuff for schoolies.

Amanda couldn't believe that I was such a light weight I hardly had any of my own alcohol because everyone let me have theirs which was good. Amanda took so much down with her I was set for the week. I totally got tipsy so quickly and I always ended up telling people that Amanda was really really short
Apparently I also spent an entire night calling one of my friends an elf, going on about vegetables and talking about a 'shadow' step
I'm pretty sure I provided my friends with endless entertainment for the week.
The Gold Coast is like WHOA!
There was this massive beach party like every night.
On the last night this coffee shop was open like all night so at 3am Amanda and I got coffee and went to the beach to watch the sunrise
We sound so corny
One good thing about me drinking is that I never throw up!
Thank gosh
