Well, happy belated Christmas, that is. I hope you all had the most amazing day and got everything you could have asked for.
A festive shot of a Christmas tree in a desperate attempt to make this post more Christmassy.
While there is not really much to report on the Christmas front (although I did get an iPhone so expect to see better quality pictures from now on!) we did go off on a camping trip on boxing day with about six other families. I was initially slightly apprehensive about the trip as we were going with some of the more...notorious girls in my year, let's just say, but I actually had a really great time and am so glad I went.

For those of you that don't know, it is Summer in New Zealand at this time of year, so we spent a lot time at the beach and even more time sunbathing. If there's one thing I've come away with on this trip, it is definitely a good tan!
We were damp and slightly miserable but it did give me time to bond with the four other girls in my tent and I quickly learnt that the old saying, 'Never judge a book by it's cover', might actually hold more truth than I've ever given it credit for. Girls I had previously found rather intimidating quickly became a great laugh and I felt bad that I had ever been so prejudiced beforehand.
I'm a bookish type and always will be but it was fun to sip on very very slightly alcoholic raspberry lemonade as we danced around to terrible rap music and waited around for one of my friends to stop snogging her life-long crush in a bush. I know, hard core rebellion right. It was still a blast of fresh air though and it will be the kind of thing we are bound to look back on when we're older and say, "Remember that one time when we were camping..."
Enjoy the rest of your holidays before whatever lies ahead mes cheries.
