Howdy all,
Well, I am in Melbourne catching up with friends from highschool etc. It is great. I feel like a gypsie a bit - b/c I am moving from house to hourse catching up with friends and socialising and haviing no commitments. It is great.
I have been sleeping a lot too. It has been great. Every time I think I have caught up on all the sleep missed out from the past semester, I amaze myself by sleeping in till after lunch. Man, I didn't realise I had been running myself so much this year.
Some highlights from Mel:
- Bon did foils in my hair for super super cheap. Excellent. They are very natural lookiing and are a ligher blonde so my hair looks fresher etc. Bon also did it for an assessment which she passed and everything. All the hairdressers were saying I had very good hair to do foils and assessements - I think it is because I didn't have anything in it - no product etc. My hair was starting to blush by the end of it all :)
- Kelly Price got the Avondale scholarship. Excellent. She deserved it so much. Madness. Don't know if she will take it for this year or defer it for the next year. She is hoping to go to India and teach Bible and English maybe. But as she says: she will go where God leads her :)
- Closing Exercises (Grad at Lilydale). It was like a mini reunion of my class. There were 2 people from different social groups who did year 12 over 2 yrs so there were differnt social groups there to support them. Some people came from interstate e.g. South Australia and NSW. Good on them :)
-having so many people come up to me and say something about my blog. I mean, they either really liked it or were sorry but they hadn't had time to check it out or soemthing. Anyway, I am glad that people check it out. Thank you :)
- getting to go shopping for cheap clothes and cheap DVDs. I forgot how much fun shopping can be. Haven't done that in ages. Only really been shoopping for grogerices etc.
- getting to show photos of Avondale and actually realise how totally wonderful my friends are - both at Lilydale and Avondale.
- Chris going to USA. He leave a day after I arrived in Mel. Poor bugger is going to meet Kristin's mum and dad and brother and extended family. I hope he can handle USA for a month. That is insane.
- Becky going back to USA. That is not a good highlight and it happened the day I came down here. :( But we reckon it would be great if she came back for the 2006 grad b/c so many of our friends are graduating then. And then a group of us (Brandon, Becky, Taylor, Casey, kelly and myself) may travel around the world - going to US, London etc. Sort of like a grad present to ourselves. Cause it will be the last time really that we are all togerther again - at least for a while. We will have to see, I guess. Some of us are pretty serious about it yet money may be a problem for others. We will just have to see.
And taht is basically it, at the moment, at lease. Today Bon has taken a day off school and apart from running errors for some of the day and hopefully talking to Brandon we will be watching movies most of the day. Good stuff.
Catch ya later,
Sharona
