Well at least I am off of school for 2 weeks so thats pretty nice and great.....its a long train ride. You see my school is all the way in Joondulap which takes on the train about an hour and half to get there so yeah - LONG I KNOW and then i have to go home as well - but hey alot of reading gets done that way
So I have just been super sick this last weekend which seriously is not fun. You know how sometimes you are like man i wish i was sick just so I could lie around all day in bed. SO NOT TRUE when it actully happens. But I'm sure we have all experienced that.
I am on club commitee for our young peoples and thats going great - we are planning a fantastic camp at the end of next month so yeah totally busy in that area too but having fun as well.
I wish my little BUT BIG brother a happy birthday. He is growing up just so fast. Just kiding Kev I won't get all mushy and gushy.

............everything zips by.................
Hey Everyone
Well its been a while thats for sure. I turned 21 in the midst of it all - yeah it was a fantastic birthday it really was. I got so spoiled from the family and friends here and thanks for those birthday greetings/gifts from overseas as well. There was no huge party just a mass of girls hanging out together and we had a blast as well.
School has been going well - ITS THE HALFWAY POINT - of semester 1 anyway so thats a releif - only 7 more weeks, then 2 weeks prac and then a holiday for a while.
Well I am on the youth club committee for the church as well and thats been so much fun. There are 3 of us girls organizing a camp and its going to be fantastic. Its army theme and so many games and acvities planned (Some of ideas stolen from campfire and guido but thats ok) LOL
Last weekend there was about 15 of us girls camping out on the beach on Friday night - haven't done that yet since I have been back - it was such great fun and no we didn't get caught (i think its actully illegal to sleep on the beach or so I have been told) but we still had awesome fun anyways.
I just learned that my Oma is in the hospital and I pray everything goes well. Also to my family (extended included) I wish you all strength.
Catch you guys later

I'm back to hot and sunny
Hey all,
Well I have been in Australia for a week and a half and its been nice. Incredibly stinking hot and sweaty but still nice! My flight went smoothly coming in and I only had to wait 12 hours in Hong Kong for a transfer plane so that was good.
I started my school at TAFE last week and it went really well. Its a bit like highschool in a sense because they tell you what exactly to do alot of the time instead of encouraging personal responsiblity but thats alright. I think I can really excel in the program and I have several goals in mind to persue when I have completed this course.
The weather yes how can anyone forget it. It was a bit of a culture shock going from -10 to 37 but I did survive and its good fun.
Friday past we had our youth club barbecue which was pretty great. I am on commitee for that so I am looking forward to the roles and such of that. And then the next morning I went down to Albany with a couple people for a friend's birthday. And finally tonight I have a little time to breathe so I am enjoying that aspect.
I hope you all have a good Sunday and week to come
*** Just so you know I do plan to update this blog at least once a month ***

Back and Still Alive from the ROAD TRIP!!
Hey Everyone
Wow almost a month's time until I have last written. Well I'm still here and everything and absolutely having a great old time in the Down Under.
Lets see now about the road trip. IT WAS AWESOME!! One of the best times in my life. We went with me and 5 other girls and had a super duper time.
We started Monday morning on our way to Denmark. We camped at a caravan park and would be staying there for 2 nights - by the time everything was all sorted out it was time to make dinner and then setting up the tent and all. Well this was going to be the record time for the longest time to set up the tent which was a flat time of 1hour and 30 minutes!!! (Don't worry it went a whole lot quicker the next time - someone had forgotten the instructions lol)
The following time in Denmark we went and toured around in town, shopped, etc. Quite a lot of fun.
Next on our list was Albany - before we hit that one we made a stop to the toffee factory which was yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were in Albany for 5 nights and yeah ended up not staying in a caravan park but yeah we were on a churchie's backyard and they were just so nice about it. In Albany we saw the Gap and Natural Bridge (pictures will be posted on Facebook) and Dog Rock. We climbed up this huge castle rock and went canoeing and beach. Now the weather was totally awesome but the flies were TERRIBLE - they have these stupid flies called March flies but they actully bite you!! Not fun LOL - but by saturday they were gone because then came typical Albany weather - cold rainy and drizzle!!
Next on our trip was Margaret River and we were there for 5 days - the unfortunate part was that they entire time we were there it was either cold, rainy or windy. But we comprised and still had alot of fun by going wine tasting, some swimming (the daring ones), sightseeing, and to all the cheese, chocolate and candy factories around the area.
Then as soon as out of Margaret River area the sun was shinning the weather hot (flies were back LOL) and we went on our way to Busselton which is the last lag of our journey. Busselton was beautiful with the jetty and everything - we even saw the sunrise one morning - ABSOLUTLEY GLORIOUS!!!!!!
But that unfortantly is the end of my tale and now I am back, in debt, working and carrying on - I will try to keep contact a little more kk and if is this is the last time you are checking my blog this year then a very merry Christmas and happy new year!

LONG TIME BUT AM STILL HERE!!!!
Hey Everyone
Whew its for sure has been a long while. Well whats happening over here in AussieLand. The weather is getting warmer (ha ha you might get snow this month) and I have been to the beach a few times to do some sunntanning, bodyboarding.........the list can go on!!
Besides that one really funny thing that happened was Daylight Savings. They really get super worked up about it - so hilarious!!! Its wierd because like yeah we are used to it and all but they are going on this 3 year trial base thing to see it they want it permeantly. I don't have a problem with it buts it more the farms and stuff that do rather then the office people.
I have been keeping busy with work and stuff- trying to juggle 2 jobs is good fun but for the next 3 weeks I'll be at a place called Chubb Security with the service department - so like on jobs, calling people up etc.... it is challenging and I only just started but its going good.
Club is every Friday and thats going really good as wel - I love my discussion group that I am in but it like is over in the next month anyway because of summer holidays so yeah. Its cool though I am on like the Congress committee already which is like YCC at home -so that should be fun.
I took my STAT test last weekend - to achieve a higher score for making it easier to get into university over here - so glad that is done!!
Not meeting as many people but so hard to stil remember all the names of the people I have met - lol !! But I'm gettting to really know my Auntie's Kina's family which is awesome fun - I even was busy stripping wallpaper and cleaning the walls up for painting for my cousin's rental place (so I guess I still proudly hold the name of the painter's daughter!!)
Oh well better get going again
Off to soccer
Love to hear from you all bye!
