My teacher has given me and my class a two-week vacation from school (that's right, TWO WEEKS!) and I thought: Maybe I should report my vacation on my blog. So, that's what I did, obviously.
To start, we arrived in Australia for my aunt's wedding, which you can see photos from on Face Book (FB). A day or two after we arrived, while waiting for more family guests to arrive, Mom, Dad, my aunt and uncle-to-be, who I have previously introduced two posts ago, and I went to a Ned Kelly tour that we booked for at Melbourne Gaol (Jail) where Ned Kelly "spent his last days". I was SO freaked out right from the beginning, because there was a lady who was supposed to be the Sargent of the jail, and she seemed be the kind that took her job seriously and would never joke about it at all. Her #1 rule: "It's either 'Yes, Sargent' or 'No, Sargent'."
She put all of the boys on the left and girls on the right of the corridor and gave each of us a Criminal Record with a name and a conviction, or what crime we each committed that brought us all to Melbourne Gaol in the first place. My name was Naomi Something-or-Other, (LOL! I don't remember what my last name was.) and I was one of the people convicted of smuggling an illegal weapon in a public building. Mom was one of the drug smugglers, Dad was convicted of driving while under the influence of alcohol. No wonder he decided to play Friendly/Good Criminal,so I decided to play Scared/Frightened Criminal as if I was wrongly accused and knew I was not the one who belonged there. In truth, it was to make up an excuse for my mental freak outs and to look dramatic like I was miming out, as I was acting it quietly, so that Sargent would not notice. I even did silent screaming in one of the cells, which has padded walls, as it was designed for the crazy, drunk, drugged, and mentally ill.
