There's nothing like hearing live music - the SSO is truly amazing to hear live.
Pondering what to see this year!?
Hooray for 80 years...

Holidays SCREAMING to an end!
It wasn't the best I've made, but it was made with love by us both! Lovely with some golden syrup & butter fresh out of the oven.
Trying to psych up for another year at work. Trying really really hard. Sometimes I remember all the wonderful things I love about education & why it is so incredibly important. Then I remember how exhausted & bitter I felt at the end of last year. I remembered the amazing joy I felt about considering further study, then I wondered if I could...could I really. It's how I felt before I started my B.Mus.Ed, & I survived that. Now I am churning again...can I, will I. Is my brain still up to the challenge or has it been so burnt out & wounded over the years that it's not going to be able to cope with everything??
I keep thinking, if I don't try I'll never know. So I should at least make a start! Sigh...
Kids starting to get nervous & narky too. A busy weekend ahead. We are saying goodbye to two wonderful assistant ministers at church...*tears*. I hate goodbyes, I hate change. I know I shouldn't feel like that but it's just my selfishness. I want things to be easier for ME, but that's not caring for them...
2012. It's barely begun & I am taking very tentative steps forward...

A very cool cover of a song...great HSC idea...
Standing ovation for Walk off the Earth. A great cover...I LOVE a good cover!! I love performers that think outside the box...students getting HSC pieces ready try to copy songs EXACTLY like the artist who wrote the piece, but a transformation of a song is sooooooo much more interesting. Something like this would get into Encore!!?? (Hey, it's the start of the year. A teacher is already thinking of possibilities ahead...however, once I have students sneering at me, ignoring an instruction & bouncing off the walls of course I will be crying that the holidays were way too short!!)

*the future*
Talk about determination...
I have to take a chance though & follow my heart. Some people I have told think I am CRAZY, that it's a "waste", some have a different vision than me etc, etc - but I do not want to keep on this treadmill of 'sameness' until my spirit has died. I am coming full circle to explore something that I buried deep in my heart...

Cleaning frenzy!
D is home, he is meant to be working on an assignment, but instead has been pottering around the house & seeing things that need doing - fixing - rearranging - cleaning - making - throwing out - wiping - installing - vacuuming...it's at about this point in the holidays that I start getting worried because he's moving things around that I quite like where they are...because I'm sitting down reading I start to feel guilty because he's working & I'm resting...then I realise that it's good for him to be busy...lucky for me that assignment is due soon so he's trying to finish it tonight. ;-)
There's still more to do. Still trying to sort out my enrolment at Uni (which I have been trying to finalise since November last year)...the original fax didn't work properly, then the email didn't go through properly, then I sent one documents at a time via email, then I posted the documents which apparently were scanned at the PO in Melbourne but didn't reach the person/venue they were mailed to...TOMORROW I am getting all the documents resigned, & I'm off to the local PO to get them posted off CERTIFIED MAIL. I tell you, if I wasn't determined I would have just thrown my hands in the air & said "It's just not meant to be!!!" But I AM determined...
