First semester over

well the first semester is over. Yes that right my final assignment went in on Friday. Now I need to wait for my results in one month. Lets hope I pass. Last night I had a few drinks to cerebrate it over and finally I can relax for now. It really hard writing assignment and getting to know the language. Thanks goes to my closest friend Sharon for all help and support over the last 13 weeks. Hey today Sharon and I went to the stamping and scrapbooking fair, it was quite good not a lot of stores but enough. I'm now can't wait to start doing some scrapbooking over the summer before next year when uni starts again. Thats a shock for me because I',m really not that in to it.
Cheers fro now Deb

Friendships

Friendship is a important part of people lives. With the students I work with, they were talking about when they to high school. What would happen to the their friends from primary school, we will still be friends or will we make new ones. This is a scary thought for 12/13 years old. When I was there age and went to a different high school to my friends and it was scary not knowing anyone. I did make a great friend and we are still friends today. My best friend went to a different high school to me but we did see each other everyday after high school. When I got married she was my bridesmaid as well as my high school friend I made. So can friendship survive life after primary school, yes in some cases they can. Friendship fails when you grow a part and take different paths. It did with me and my best friend from primary school and part of my 20s, she went over sea to live with her family. Yes we did write all the time, but then it was once a month, then every to three months and then it stops. You send a Christmas card but that's all. When she came back we just couldn't click any more which was sad. She is the only person that knows more about me and we went through a lot of stuff. Then my high school friend and I got a lot closer, then her and I don't see each other but we know that we are there if we need each. I don't like let people get close to me or know me that well. I have my secrets and I don't like to show the real person. I can take or leave friendship. I did until two years ago, i had to work with this person and we got to know each other and became friends. It was hard for this person she didn't understand why I didn't like talking about things. Now we are great mates and I'm glad she kept at me and pushing me in to this friendship. Can friendship survive anything though. Can friends survive when people breaking up, where do the friend belong or do you just fall a part. Which partner do they follow or is it to weird to have your friends split. Can friendship survive when someone leaves their job to go and work some where else. Will you make new friends or will that friend hang out with some else and you both can't be bother seeing each other. Can friendship survive this. What if you move away to different state and or suburb what will happens then. This is what all kids think of when they go to high school, I suspect there going to be a lot of crying in 8 weeks when they say goodbye to their friends. So good luck all on friendship and I hope they all survive but I can't say they all will.

Cheers Deb

What a holiday

It was really great to get away for 5 days. Stacey, Sharon, Matt, Emma, Sarah and Sharon mum and dad, we all left for Melbourne on Thursdays morning at 4 o'clock. We arrive at 1 in the afternoon, after a long drive but fun one. Then we decide to go for a walk into the city of melb and visit the DFO but when we arrive it was close but it was nice to just walk and see the sites with my mate Sharon. Although Sharon and I are really close friends and we see each other all the time it was just nice to see her in a different time of frame where is so comfortable, and getting to know more things that I didn't know. It was nice to just have some quality time with her and her showing me the place she loves. Well back to the holiday. We did a lot of walking all over melb. The next day we went to queen vic markets and in the afternoon, we went for a drive to the outlets for the bargains. Then we went to another DFO and did some shopping. Boy I didn't know we could do that much shopping. It was so great and funny shopping with everyone, I had a ball. I kept getting told to buy for me but I just love buying for my family. On Saturday morning I decide to get up and go explore on my own around north melb, it was at 6.30 in the morning. I just walk and walk looking around at the house and shops. It funny thing was that I end up at the markets and I didn't know where I was but it was nice to wander on my own. Melb is a lovely place but I don't if I would like to live there, but I would love to go back again for a holiday next year. Then Sharon to me back to the city DFO again to have alook They so big and great bargains. I bought my daughter a guess bag and it had 70% off , that's cheap. We went to more markets on sat and Sunday. Yes I did buy myself something. Sunday Afternoon we went to the Aquarium But first to the crowns to have a look wow. Both place were great and I'm glad I got a chance to see all of it. Yes Monday was the last day we left melb by 7.30am to come home but we stop at some place on the way. Sharon wanted me to see some mineral springs and try them. She didn't tell me that they would taste bloody awful, she thought it was funny watching me spit it out. Then we had a look around other places and then start to head home but we didn't get very far the car broke down. So we had to call out the raa but it call something different on vic. He had trouble to see what it was, then he find it. The timing belt has come off, I know that feeling and I could see it on my friends face but there is nothing you can do to help them. I felt so helpless, nothing you can say to take that look away or do. It is so hard to see them go though this and you know there is nothing you can do. So the car is stuck in vic and waiting to hear how much it will be and how long. The guys said if it just the belt it will be ready on Thurs but yes there that but if it did some damage it could be the head and that will take a week but the worst could be the engine. I'm hoping it not that for my friend and something simple like just the belt. So we had to catch a bus home early this morning and it was -1 there bloody cold at 2 in the morning. When I got home I find that I had my 2 assignment back and I didnt pass but a mess to ring my tutor which I did and we talk for hours about my assignment, just want to give up when i saw it. The only person I want to to talk is going through her own stuff and I didn't want to intrude on that. Well here's some photos from melb. I will puts some more on later.

25 years today

happy wedding anniversary. Yes today is my wedding anniversary 25 years. 25 years ago on this day 1/10/83, I got married in town at a place call Rymal Park, then it was lovely. We got married in the middle of the lake on the island. It was bloody hot but beautiful. I had my two best friends at my side and Micheal had his. It funny now because we don't see these people anymore, well I see one of them. Her and I have never stop being in contact with each other. It a real shame my other best friend and I didn't stay in contact, her and I went to through a lot of stuff growing up. Well I got married on this date so my other half wouldn't forget but every year he has, lets see if he remember this one. Well off to Melbourne tomorrow, Did I just say tomorrow, Yahoo. As you can see it way after midnight and I'm still up but trying to get my online work finished before I go. Here I come Melbourne, so watch out.
