School excursions are so fifth grade. So are museums, for that matter. Yet last Wednesday yours truly found herself sitting on a slightly damp patch of grass with one hundred and fifty Sydney Girls students and six teachers, waiting for nine thirty to happen so we could enter the Australian Museum Of Deth. We congregated in an auditorium with swivelly desk-like things attached to the seats, but no cupholders. the front three rows were inexplicably inaccessible - if they wanted to make space at the front, for heavens sake, they could have just removed one row instead of squishing them all together so nobody could use any of them. We then waited for about twenty minutes while the tour guide people got their act together. Meanwhile, Nicky and Min told me how the latter finally got rid of her stalker...
Nicky: Remember the guy who skipped school to follow Min to Yum Cha when she was on a Jap excursion?
Me: The one who managed to set his mate's hair on fire?
Nicky: And thought the fire extinguisher contained water, yeah. Well, Min finally got rid of him. She told him she was a lesbian. He filled up an entire MSN window with "NOOOOOO!" *grin*
Me: Damn, I need a clipboard. Hahaha, that's hilarious!
Mr Stanger (from across the aisle): That sounds like a good idea.
Me: ...what, setting people's hair on fire or being a lesbian?
Mr Stanger: Uh, no, clipboards. But that's not to say... I mean... nevermind.
Later, there was unwarranted speculation on Ms Bray's sex life. Bad mental image. BAD, BAD MENTAL IMAGE. I mean... ewww.
Anyway, that aside, we went off to look at dinosaurs and things. Our first stop was a bunch of hurried activities which involved sketching adorable frogs. I was the only person who figured out that it's the cuckoos that have two back toes, probably because I draw fast and actually got up to that question. Also, penguins are cool. Then we found a completely random little Kiddie Korner style thing with a miniature kitchen and plastic fruit. I'm not sure what it was doing in the Endangered Animals section, but I'm sure it was... very... educational. Here are some photos of Shannon, Rachel and Eddie the new girl:
( we're too sexy for this plastic kitchen )
After lunch, we fitted vertebra fossils together and fiddled with ratios to work out how big a critter they came from. And man, I cannot tell you how much I do NOT want to meet a three fucking metre long wombat! I'm not kidding you, those buggers aren't mammals, they're terrain. "Git the four wheel drive, Stevo!" We finished all the activities before the tourguidey person had even finished explaining them (which is fair enough, since it's a generic booklet for 7-10s from WoopWoop High - I mean, they ask us the name of the animal and then tell us its name three questions later!) and wandered off to look at Woe Is Me For I Am Endangered videos.
