Lol I am sitting here nursing a hotwater bottle for crying out loud!
I am soooo cold! It's been raining again last night. It's kinda good for water catchment but there is no sign of the weather we had last Saturday. Though it was not bad yesterday I guess.
I just have to put my hands down every now and then to warm them up on my bottle. then they smell like that awful new rubber, aaaaah!
speaking of new rubber, I also got ... tada ... my woopy cushons, wohoooo, go me!!! :) Lol!
I'm sitting here last night, talking to A on the phone, playing with them and making her think I was just whacked or something! I got two, in case one gets wrecked, or might give it to someone Lol!
I got them yesterday. actually my nanna was with me.
OK well remember all those phone calls I was finally egging myself up too, well I made them all when I got cut off Monday. yeah for me! :) man I was lucky to have called Boxhill TAFE Monday as, I'd suspected, i was too late for the info evenings but that day and Tuesday were the final two they were interviewing. So I booked myself in Tuesday just in time! wow, how amazing was that?! Had i put it off any longer, i would have totally missed out on a chance for a place next year.
Then in my suddenly confident phone--stranger/danger-calling mood, I rang the DLU at RMIT to ask about their special entry scheme as J (tertiary consultant rVIB) had told me they had one. So she said she'd send me out the form. so will get dad to help me fill it out this weekend I think, plus my other info forms for Australian Cathlic uni and Swinburn TAFE.
so it's all peechy! and then I wished I had other business calls to make as I was feeling on too much of a role, Lol! but none were to be had! so i just went on with some practice exam questions and sent it to teacher.
Tuesday nanna came over. I was going to meet her at Boxhill but it was too wet so she just came out here. spent the day houseworking and eating and Mum came at 3.45 to drive me to the TAFE. both mum and nanna came and it all went quite well.
Mum helped me to fill out the form, then I went in for my interview. They asked me:
Why do I want to get into Youthwork? (mainly as I want to become school counsellor)
What subject do I think Youth work will intail?
and last one: If I were to wake everyone up in a youth refuge to go to school, and everyone obeyed and got ready except one who refused to get up, what would I do?
R: I would need to talk to him and firstly find out why he is not getting up. is it because he doesn't want to go to school, or Did he have a hard night and was tired.
And why mightn't he want to go to school?
R: He might be getting bullied. that can totally drop self-esteme, etc. etc.
I felt they were pleased with my answers so let's hope so.
Then there was one question which was a written piece which Mum had to act as scribe for me. That went well I hope! can't remember the exact question now.
So I find out in January from VTAC. But if I hadn't applied through vTAC, I would have found out next month which of course would have been so much easier for organization of brailled materials, etc. oh well! what can ya do?! Guess it's good as I may, just may get another offer - higher priority though I honestly now don't care which happens first for me now. it so use to be that I wanted to get into the whole teaching thing first then study youth work part time to become later school counsellor but it doesn't matter if it's the other way around. At least I can get my foot in the door of a school first. I like the idea just as much now. So I am excited about what-ever happens first! Change of heart which I am pleased about.
Mum, Nanna and I went to Zigami's for tea after that which was sooo nice! (Mum and I are all of a sudden getting along much much better now, it's just too weird; am not use to it.
Then Mum dropped us home.
Didn't sleep well that night at all! woke at 2, and was wide awake. wanted to get up and if nan wasn't there, i probably would have. anyway I just listened to the radio. Decided am sick of 3AW and their rudeness (the whole lot of them especially Keith M) and turned to 3AK. Man they (all of them) are so so so much nicer to their callers. They deserve to win the ratings; 3AW does not at all any more!
Anyway wednesday nan and I caught the bus to boxhill where she was being O&M instructor again. I am getting the hang of where I want to go there!
We had lunch there then caught the train into the city and bought my "yeahness" lol!
Then nan came with me to RVIB Prahran where I had the tech assessment for my bursary application. Then I went home and Nan did too to her house after coming out here with me. that was nice!
And now I am tired again. I did sleep much much better last night though.
Oh last night got in a paddy as my puter randomly freezes now for no apparent reason. Sometimes by pressing keys it unfreezes but last night it wasn't. so I did the norten stuff but I think I should do more of the checks like system check and stuff. Must update my drfinition file too! aaah! it's been too long since I've done that. Hope to God I haven't got a virus! :( stupid things! *grrrr*
OK so that's my life up to date.
Til next time, RdFreak
CURRENT MOOD: tired
