Little Update

What a windy day!  What a windy month!  This isn't windy Wellington but it sure feels like it!!

We have yet to pick up our new car :(  Just waiting on a part to come in so they can fix it.  The 'pollution' light keeps coming up on the dash and they said they'd fix the problem before handing it over.  So it looks like another few days wait, hopefully Monday or Tuesday they said.  I hope so!!  I want to get our new toy so I can have some fun with it! :D  hehe.

Went to the Chisholm Institute info night last night (the school I've been looking at) and I'm really glad I went!  I was stressing out about getting a portfolio together seems I don't really have the resources to do some of things they were asking for, but when I spoke with one of the teachers he said don't stress about it too much, just give them what I've got, some photography, the newsletters I've been making for work, that kind of stuff, but because I'm a 'mature' age student (haha) they hold that higher then the portfolio, as long as I can prove I've got an artistic eye that's ok, they can see that I'm committing to going back to school rather then just straight out of highschool 'because I have to' kind of attitude, know what I mean?!  Also found out the course starts late Feb, so 6 months still until I would start, can't believe it's that far away!  But I suppose it'll go by quickly and it gives us some time to sort a few things out before hand.  So it all sounds promising and now being a permanent resident definitely helps reduce the cost of studying here, yippeee! :D  Got to have a look around the facilities and at some of the stuff the students create, looks like fun!!  So I have to wait until next month now, they'll contact me and I'll have an interview with them that month and present my portfolio then as well, then I have to wait another month or so until I know if I've gotten in or not, then it's to sort out the finances.  So it'll be another waiting game, I'm over these waiting games, but I suppose 'it's all about the journey' right?!

We'll probably be moving shortly after I start school (if it all works out) as well as the lease is up mid-March, so it'll be a busy year between planning a wedding, starting school, working & moving, but super excited/exciting!!!!

That's the news for now.  Feeling a bit sorry for myself at the moment, sick :(  On top of my horrible chronic hayfever I've got a head cold :(  Hopefully it won't last too long.  It was beautiful sunny 20C all last week, it was SO nice!  But windy and cooler this week :(  Good ol' Melbourne weather!  Ok, well best try and get a few things done today, just at a slower pace.  Love to you all, lots of exciting new adventures coming up! :)  And I'm SO excited for the wedding next year, I think with each day goes by the more excited I get, I be jumping out my skin to get over there by the time it comes around!! :D xx
