I feel all dizzy - stupid varnish. My dads re-doing the benches downstairs and the kitchen is right above my room, my room has no door. Hence dizziness. I feel all stressed too but that's not because of the vanish - stupid school, I have four weeks left of term and everything is due, all my final artworks and final SACs and the formal, I have nearly everything for the formal, dress, shows, earrings, hair appointment ect. and my sister just has to make my necklace.

In three months, that's including the exams, my high school life is over forever. Scary.

This weekend I booked the volunteer program I'm going to do next year - Mombasa, in Kenya - working with the street children there. I'm kinda freaking out. I've never been overseas. I'll be staying with a family I don't know for two months. I don't speak the language. I'll be by myself.

Anyone been to Kenya? Want to tell me some handy hints?

I also applied for my Uni course last week, my first pref. is Nursing at RMIT and then Development Studies at La Trobe -after that several Social Work, Art's and Social Sciences courses. Everything is changing.

Wow, I am so in awe of you signing up for the volunteer program. I have always ALWAYS wanted to get involved in one of those, but I have never been brave enough. :)

You inspire me to try and do one next summer. :)

it worries me that i've always assumed you were arleady in uni, because holy crap you're mature. kenya's going to be lucky to have you. you're graduating at the semester? or have i just never realized that australia's school years run april to january? (what with it making sense that you have the summer months off and all. durr.)

might as well pop the rest of the way over to the states, since you'll be halfway here, right? ;D land of spoilers! and the dirty green dollar! come visit!

Twinness, I haven't eaten for THREE DAYS. THREE DAYS. You know how much I love food. It's slowly killing me. I'm actually fading away. There's little of me left. I've already missed two days of school - and I threw up seven times on Monday! What's wrong with me!!! I'm sufffering, Twinness, I'm suffering! You know what I need? I need my darling House to come and diagnose me. That'll do it! (Oh my gosh - on Monday I was so sick that I didn't even feel like watching TV. HEAVENS ABOVE).

Anyway, back to you. You're going to Kenya! I can't believe it. I'm going to miss you and you'r enot going to be there and there'll be so much missing! Hmm, I have a few tips about staying with a family you don't know: You have to be enthusiastic. I was pretty homesick for the first few days in France, but then I just decided to be really enthusiastic and embrace it all and it got better. I still can't believe you're going!

Well, I must go and NOT EAT DINNER. See ya. (Or will I? There's a strong possibility I might have wasted away into nothingness).
