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. :)

My sister did one eariler this year in Costa Rica and it sounded so good, plus I figured it would be an interesting why to travel. I was so scared I wouldn't go through with it, so I went in and booked it and now my doubts can't make me pull out. If, no, when you do it - where are you thinking of going?

I very very nearly did one in Kenya myself. That was more of an environmental conservation one though. I hadn't really thought where I would go. There is so much of the world I want to see and experience.

oh, and that was me. Doh!
