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*

OK, so I have tried to enrol SIX (yes you read that right) times in the course that I am keen on...

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...

Today, I *heart* this...

These colours & this kitchen (& the little nook in the background) made me smile today...

I found it here...

P.S. I posted off my Uni documents registered post this morning. Fingers crossed they arrive this time...

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...
