Early Acceptance

I am very excited because an early acceptance letter arrived in the mail today offering me a conditional place at LaTrobe University to study social work next year. That takes a lot of pressure off me knowing that, as long as I get an ATAR over 50, I'll be going to uni next year. Now, if my Atar results would just arrive... But that's not going to happen unti lthe 13th. I wish anyone else waiting for results and uni offers the best of luck.

Lock Island

I put a towel down underneath a gum tree, put my headphones in my ears, put my iPod on shuffle and then lay back and closed my eyes behind my sunglasses. A kookaburra laughed and I laughed with it. I sang along to Missy Higgins 'All For Believing' while a bird whistled in a tree above me. I did absolutely nothing for over two hours and I loved it! I highly recommended it to anyone feeling stressed or lost. Go to The Great Australian Ice-Creamery first and get yourself a double scoop of your favourite ice-cream and then walk down to Lock 11, you'll have finished your ice-cream by the time you get there. Cross over the gates of the Lock and then walk around the island until you come to a little 'beach' area. Then just lie down and do nothing. Incredible relaxing.

Crazy Student

What the hell is a crazy student? I'll tell you. It's me! I have set up a blog on tumblr which I will update once a week until uni starts and then more frequently once I am a uni student. Crazy Student will detail all my adventures through uni, Australia Kiwi will detail my adventures outside uni. You can visit Crazy Student and see what I've got so far here:http://crazystudent.tumblr.com/

The Flirty Fifties

So, on a dare, I went onto polyvore and designed a 'flirty fifties' outfit. I know the dress is fifties and so are the shoes. I tried to make the rest of the stuff fifties, but I'm not sure I succeeded. Let me know what you think. The 'A' You're Adorable is from a popular song in the late forties and early fifties.

Final Exam!

My last exam is today and I'm excited. No, not about the exam! About the fact that, once it's over, I will have a life! While I'm on the subject of the end of exams, I need to find a job. I won't work in fast food (ick!) but if anyone knows anywhere that's hiring in Mildura, let me know and I will be eternally grateful.
