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.

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!

Mature.... an adjective that I usually don't hear, I like it. I'm so glad High School is nearly over; I have three months before I'm finished, counting down the days until Nov 11, and then I'm free! Well for a year until I start Uni anyway *g*

Australian schools, well the ones in Victoria anyway - go from the beginning of Feb to about mid December - with three, two week holidays inbetween.

I hope I can drop by the States, I think I actually have a stop over there maybe, but I'd spend most of the time with my hands over my ears yelling 'DON"T SPOIL ME!' though.
