rdfreakOK well I have been putting off writing in this as I just didn't want to remind myself.
Well last Sunday night, i looked on the Herald Sun web site. it took me ages to find my sir name and I wasn't there! There was "Sm", "ll" but no "RD". so I thought either VTAC stuffed me up again or I didn't get an offer. I was half expecting it but also had thought i was in with a good chance with the TAFEs. My TER was quite decent.
Anyway I went off line and called Dad. I wanted to speak to A but she wasn't there. (wow, she really knows how to say the right things to me believe it or not)!
anyway she wasn't there, so I start bawling to Dad. The funny thing was, I was not as upset as I'd expected. i'm just so use to crying as a natural reaction/reflex, but thanks to Zoloft, I actually did remain reasonably calm.
I was (and still am) confident of a second round offer. But B had asked me what was going on so I eventually told her and had said I was surprised I didn't at least hear from swinburn, so she actually called the course co-ordinator for me of L Arts and she'd wanted me to call her at home yesterday which I did, and she was also surprised as my name didn't pop up on their system But she's quite sure someone will drop out so she'll know by Tuesday and will be able to call then and tell me if I have a spot with them. So yeah Vic uni is my only other hope for the second round. Oh and as she said yesterday, "there are always other options/pathways" which, I am also going to look intoo - like starting my arts degree with two fee paying subjects.
Anyway, so i'm not as bad as I use to be. i'm just taking one day at a time instead of thinking and worrying about the duture.
So basically that's been my week. I did go to J's for a swim last Tuesday which was awesome! It was 37 degrese! and I know there was something else but am blank! oh went here and there but mostly stopped here.
Nan came Thursday and left yesterday. She was helping Mum on friday. I came there for tea that night.
We went to Boxhill yesterday as I felt I needed to get myself aquainted again! I did get my sugar supplies again! :)
Yesterday afo I spoke to A then last night I called S who has B staying there and we had a cool chat actually. Though it sounded more like they were over the other side of the world than the next state - stupid telstra, Lol!
And yeah, about all. Tomorrow i have the Joy picnic then the rest of the week kickstart then Adelaid - rather packing Saturday and Nan is coming with me to Spencer that night.
OK off to read my well-overdue friends page. Haven't touched it for over a week so am bound to be going for a while! :) But I do still read everyone's and love them! - of course not when they're blue; that's not good!
(Well I congratulate my LJ friends who got a first round offer! Best of luck with enrolling, starting and all! :) :)

Well stay safe and enjoy yourself!

I had to work in 37 degree weather...but I met a really hot looking guy while I was at it and he put me in a good mood for the rest of the day ;)

Date: 2004-01-24 10:02 pm (UTC)Hey how did you go with your piano exam??
and also, i keep meaning to ask what does "<3" mean? I often come across it in these LJ's :)
no subject
Date: 2004-01-25 12:46 am (UTC)My piano exam was ok, I'm so glad it's over!
<3 could be the shape of a heart tipped to the side, or it could be lips ready to kiss you :).
In my case, they are the lips!
<3333
Re:
Date: 2004-01-30 02:27 pm (UTC)and am glad your piano exam went so wlel even though it is nerve-racking, and twice over too! aaah! well at least you got the practice!
As well as getting my offer (which I will explain in my LJ entry today) a friend who is just starting out teaching is going to give me some singing lessons. I already have had experience with that and piano. also, I am going to get my braille music skills up to scratch and see if I can continue teaching myself. i only learnt the basics. So am hoping I can do that.
:) thanks again for your kind psitive words and encouragement.

Date: 2004-01-24 08:43 pm (UTC)I hope tuesday brings great results and you get that place you wanted.
To be honest i find the whole uni thing pretty shitty at the moment since there simply isn't enough funding for new places but funding it by buying degrees is off. I'm lucky in that my HECS have always been paid upfront because it ends up being 25% cheaper but i find it sad that some people are able to pay more than double the hecs fees so that their TER isn't such a consideration. -sighs-
Re:
Date: 2004-01-30 02:22 pm (UTC)I do agree with you about the whole uni thing and funding. it is just stupid! but fortunately I did get a place on Tuesday which I will write about in my entry of today.
I thought you were from Melburne too. :)
anyway goood luck with yours, and the preparation for that!
:)
