Life.

Have I mentioned that I hate computers?...okay so maybe hate is a strong word, I dislike computers. I can work them, work the basics, type, internet, photo's etc etc ect. But ask me to explain the inner workings of a computer, the cache, CPU all that sort of jazz and I'm royally screwed. Thus I shall have to resubmit that assignment. Infact I think Tim will be helping me with it this time.

So yes. Life, my walk.
in one word...GREAT!...
We've been working through the DVD teachings of John Bevere "Drawing Close: a life of intimacy with God" and can I say this. If you ever have the chance to read that book or see the DVD teaching, you have to grab it with both hands and not stop drinking till its done. I invested in the book because the teaching has been so fantastic I don't ever want to forget it, I want to be able to be reminded of it constantly.

For that last few weeks I've been pretty much living at Laura and Tims place. Spent last night sitting in the lounge room with Tim, Laura and Suzii watching "House" - have I ever mentioned that I love that show. It was great. There is something incredibly fulfilling about spending quality time with people, talking and laughing, no agenda's no 'must-do's' just loving the company and not wanting to leave it.
I realise that I have been incredibly blessed in this life. God has been kind - sometimes too kind. Nevere failed me, never left me hanging, never given me less. He is wild, dangerous, never tamed, but always good.
I love my God and I will proclaim that untill the day I die.

I'm sitting here in the computer labs at Uni - received a text message from riss this morning, confirming that class was at 11 and that she would see me in computers, yet here I am at 11:55 and there is no sign of riss. Three girls already tried for the seat beside me and I had to, as politely as possible, tell them to back away before I started swinging the bag that was minding the seat. ;)
I've decided that the next person to ask for the seat can have it - I can already picture the glares I'll get from the 3 other girls who were rejected. ah well, they found other computers, I'll be leaving as soon as I submit this anyway. I have a lunch date.
Bec and Riss every thursday, at 1pm in the bistro. Chips and Gravy - mmmmmmmmmmmhhmmmmmm...
I'm starving, right on cue as I typed the words 'chips and Gravy' my stomach let out a huge growl - food sounds good. havn't eaten today yet. I know I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, my mum said the same thing to me, yet ironically, she never ate breakfast either - children mimic, what can I say :P

So yes, I just realised how boring this must be for you - I'm pretty much just typing everything as it comes into my head, no internal dialogue, just letting it ooze all out.

I have to get copies of every prac report I've had, to send off to the Department of Education so that I can actually get a teaching Job.

My big interview has been booked - I will be interrogated and they will decided whether I can teach on the 27th of June. Prayers would be most appreciated. but I feel confident, If I didn't have what it takes then I would like to think that at least one of my prac teachers or lecturers would feel the need to let me know. that is if I hadn't caught on myself. I still get passionate about teaching - and if the day ever comes when I don't then I think I'll leave it, kids don't need crusty angry teachers who really don't care.

My internship has been officially confirmed today. From the 17th of July untill the 22nd of September you will find me, 5 days a week at Taree Christian Community School, with year 6. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to being known as Miss Braybrook again. Yes, Yes it is a power trip. and I love it. :D

well I shall irritate you no more. I will go. You may have noticed that It's only 12 and I've said I don't meet the girls till one. But I'm thinking that I'll go find my bench from last week in the main courtyard. using my bag as a pillow and I'll sprawl myself along it, and soak up the sun. I swear sometimes that I 've gotta be a reptile, I'm cold blooded for sure.

alas that bench sounds awesome, and lunch sounds even better. Have an awesome day.
And call me sometime. I miss my people, but more than that I miss my friends, my brothers and sisters, the ones I love.
