DT major work is marked...fineto, finished, asta la vista, bon voyage, ciao, bye. cya.....
my portfolio has this little sticker saying "marked" which is sooo exciting... no more thinking about the caravan.... will the cd work, will the video work, will the car tow the caravan properly, will someone smash into it while its at school...etc etc...WHat a relief

ohh for anyone who dances when i was reading beths blog the other day she had a link to this guy who runs dance classes anyway i went to his website and theres a really good 2 day workshop on in a few weeks with pro dancers who have been in all sorts of video clips and a really god choreographers..just to let u know if ur interested

ciao'

definantly ask beck how her fingers are now!?!

Have you ever felt like you knew someone a long, long time ago?Another place, another time, a friendship of the souls?Two people who share a bond for reasons neither know,

A feeling that they were friends, a long, long time ago?Did they stumble onto each other by pure circumstance,

Or was it fate and destiny that played a certain hand?Two souls intertwined, they are worlds apart,But the soul, it knows no difference, in matters of the heart.Somehow they are drawn together, fate has brought them back,Each living worlds apart, they journey separate paths.When this life is over, and a new life begins,Their souls will find each other, two souls that we call friends. - Lia Fail -

i dont want to be one of those "praise the lord!!' kind of ppl for everything not that i dont see the value of thanking the lord for all he has done but i want to make sure i mean it when i say it... and today he gave me two huge opportunities to thank him... first of all he pulled through when today i went to school to get some files off my account at school and talk to my teacher cuz i was stressing about my portfolio, and she told me the best news ever which made my day amazing... she told me that my MDP is due on the 29th not the 26th whihc is incredible because it gives me more time to get everythig done and i would have been so much more stressed by getting everything all done by wednesday... and the second thng that god blessed me was i lost my glass about a week ago and this wasnt good but i had to deal with it ... ithought they must have fell on the ground and smashed so i ( being the bargin hunter i am) was going to wait until the 30th of aug to get a new pair cuz they had a 50% off sale, so i was hanging in there headaches and all. this was interesting especially because i have been so stressed with my MDP i have had headaches and migranes and loss of vision and this afternoon good gave me a miracle, my mother dear found my glasses on the edge of the car near the door and its a miracle they hadnt falen out, especially considering jamie and his big freinds had been using the car and its absoltuely AMazing they didnt smash... so guess what i can see agai!!! hhaha but in all seriousness i dont think i would have made it through working on my portfolio without them to muhc pain, i not only save like $400 but i dont have to have a trip to the opp or suffer from headpains!!
so yes the american in me (no offence to any americans out there) but yes yes yes 'praise the lorrrrd!!!"

can i say somethihg else... well if course this is my blog, well anyway back on track, oh yes what i was going to say was i had the lovely opportunity of watching myself on video (note the sarcasm) and yes it was a horrible experienc, either i sound heaps different on tape and thats really bad cuz there goes my opporunity of being a movie star * again not the sarcasm.OR i actually sound like that in real life...which is even scarier... i seriously looked at myself and went ' i dont actually sound like that do i?' and my laugh isnt really that bad is it???....so my conclusion is DONt watch urself on video it might suprise you and give you a horrible shock...

beds calling
..can you hear it??...sAllY ..yes sAlLy...i aM Very COmFy......

damn i need to get a life...haha..

well today was quite hectic...in fact a lot...after many horrible phone calls with people being rude registering the caravan was becoming impossible....it seems strange that some people like being difficult just for the sake of it? is it really that rewarding?...my poor mum dealt with some horrible people this morning and we finally got in contact with some people who were happy to help us out...thank you lord
May i say that my brother is a Great driver...and i am not sucking up i am just so proud and happy...he towed the caravan all the way to harbord and with excellent driving skills reversed it onto a weighing bridge...he was a life saver i tell you that..
so what started off as a disastrous day with horrible people turned into a successful day with nice people...all the guys at 'beach wheels' were sooo nice to us...they were so helpful and also very impressed with the caravan...they did whatever they could to help us and get it registered....one man asked me if i am interested in designing caravan interiors because there is a market for it? hahah i just want to finsih the hsc first i think...let alone look at another caravan!!!

Caravan!

2004-08-13T20:59:00.000-07:00

for all of you who have taken interest in my project for dt...the soul caravan here is a sneak peak preview....ps there might be a lunch for it next weekend...pps anyone got any ideas for a name?...the only ones so far that are ok are 'soulvan' and 'soul mobile'...suggestions??

photo test

isn't my lil bro strong and talented....im just testing out this photo thing to see if it works...fingers crossed

Freezing...

2004-08-04T11:50:00.000-07:00

absolutley freezing today isnt it??....ironically the one morning i decide to wear a skirt this winter is the day it is sooo cold...i didnt even wear stockings....i think my legs have had goosebumps most of the day and my teeth have chattered so much i think i might break them...well maybe not :P

i was just reading over my last post about pulling your socks up...yeah i suppose it is a real issue but it also is just one area of someones life that is a fault and i guess we have to remember that none of us are perfect.. and i was thinking about how it says about cast the first stone if you have never sinned before...and i know that rules out all of us , including myself..

SO all of us Davo high people have finsihed our trials, which means half of our small group has finshed. Poor kirst and Maryanne who have still more to go...
I think it is so amazing how much stress our country places on year 12 students.. it is not just our parents or teachers, it is our peers and freinds and media..it is like all of Australia is counting on YOU to do well in the HSC...and the amount of work that needs to be done in some of the subjects is amazing...some girls today were talking about their Textiles Major work and i just couldnt believe that these things are due so early...and especially after just finsihing trials...its not just textiles, it is Design and Tech, Art, Drama, Music, society and Culture, woodwork and i am sure many others...and some incredibly talented people are doing more than one major work.. how can that be a major work if there is two? thats is double the work....amazingly talented they are..

I have started to realise how many things havbe changed since year 12.. there is so much that changes externally and also internally...there is the loss of a jpbs,social life...for the majority of us, especailly those of us who get exhausted if they are up later than 9pm lol.... we also have to limit our activities that we take part in for amusment or exercise, even shopping i mean i remember how often i used to go shopping ...i think i seriously used to buy about one top per week on average...i just had the time and the resources...but now who can afford to waste a day shopping when there is a major work to complete or homework or an assessment or studying for a test...maybe i am overacting ...most probably i am...but i suppose it is worth it in the scheme of things...its just hard to comprehend the difference..

At school we have just finished studying emma and clueless and there are so many quotes that we find so amusing that seem to relate to our lives. One in particular that i enjoy and courtney has mentioned a few times before is when CHer says how all her freinds are really good at something..and it is so true and worth doing...seeing the talent of those you are close to...there are so many special people in my life who i have always thought were fantastic....and i feel like i need to tell them all more often...how much nicer could the world be if we all just made the decision to positive?...it is always our decision and it is easy enough to do if you just stop and think about it and go ok well i can either look at this positvely or negatively...the choice is yours...

i was just looking at kirst's blog and realised that she could attach photos....arggggg i want to i have been trying to figure out how to do it...so i guess i will have to get kirst to show me....

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers. --Cigarette Smoking Man

Trials are over!!!
86 days to go and counting!!...
the HSC could not be over any earlier!!
THe weekend away was fantastic wasnt it!! I said this to the girls when we were having coffee at this beautiful little shop called the 'fudge house' ...in Kangaroo Valley a beautiful and Quaint little town down the south coast, just out of Nowra. The best thing about the coffee was it came with a complementary slice of english toffee fudge....yumm!!
It was the first chance we really had to actually just sit relax and chill. The stress of trials and studying and having absolutley no social life really had caught up with us and we needed this escape BADLY! i must say i am not sure if anyone else agrees with me and i am not saying this for my sake but for the character of those invloved.. but there was a mojor issue during the weekend away
- that there were certain members of the group who did not participate at ALL in helping out..
there were several people who would lovingly and humbly come and help with the washing up or preparing a meal... but to some members it was not their responsibility aparently!! i think in they honestly thought that dinner just magically appeared on the bench and magically cleared it self up again by breakfast time!
i mean am i right in thinking this...or is there really some justification for it?!? the closest justification kirst and i recieved which perhaps compensated for it was that 'you guys will make great mothers some day!' !!!! and thats supposed to make it all ok then is it? oh k well i suppose it is something that i will have to learn to deal with..because being a female this issue seems to arrise constantly..get back in the kitchen where we APPARENTLY belong...
well the ony conclusion i have really reached from this is that it really is their issue not mine...which i must say does give me some saticfaction..because with attitudes like this it really is not going to get them anywhere..especially finding them a partner...i mean seriously who is attracted to an attitude like that!! i for one am not and i know several others who agree with me

I think the thing i found quite ironic was that the few boys who did decide to pull their weight were the ones who were taken...i have a few theories for this 1) because they are taken they want to impress or show a sign of affection or good character to their partners or 2) that the reason they are taken is because through their humble character they attracted wonderful people and are a 'catch' which is why they have partners....maybe im wrong...but it was the only 2 conclusions i could come to!!

"Chocolate causes certain endocrine glands to secrete hormones that affect your feelings and behavior by making you happy. Therefore, it counteracts depression, in turn reducing the stress of depression. Your stress-free life helps you maintain a youthful disposition, both physically and mentally. So, eat lots of chocolate! "Elaine Sherman

HSC stresses

2004-07-25T12:20:00.000-07:00

so we are stressing about HSC right?...
we have our trials on right?...
my conclusion is we need our own time out...whatever works for you...so many of us are finding it hard to get motivated these days arent we?
so this is some options that i spsoe we should consider during this hectic time of ours...my proposed time out list

eat chocolate
drink coffee to stay up late! ...and study of course
go for walks ..get the blood pumping, heart rate up and mind active...and best reason is for space away from the family and to breathe
listen to music
christian music in the car
'set' time out to chill and catch up with freinds
candles
essence, you know all the flowery ones

and ill have to give it a bit more thought before i get more ideas..

"There are four basic food groups: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate truffles. "
