Here I am up early at 5am. I should be getting ready for walking but today I start at 8am at uni so have to leave here at 7.30am, drop reuben off at school and go over to the uni. The maths lecture starts at 8am and goes til 10am, then I have a maths tutorial at 12 - 1 pm. At 2.45pm I have to pick Reuben up from school, bring him home, Mum will be here and cook dinner for us. I have to go back to uni for another lecture from 4 - 6pm. Oh joy!!! Tuesdays are my big day!!! Im just glad I dont have something on at 6 - 8 like others have. Yuk!!!

Reuben didnt have a great day at school yesterday. He was still upset about his rat being savaged by the cat. He still had one rat left (at steve's) but Steve being the "wonderful man" we all know he is... went and bought him another one!!!! Yes that was sarcasism!!!!

I am struggling with asthma. It started on saturday night. Im not sure if going to the club on Friday night or perhaps the thought of going back to uni??? I was and am glad to be going back but know that its intense.  

Uni Begins 2006

MY 2nd Year of Bachelor of Education at Logan. Wow! I still have to pinch myself some days that I am really doing this.

I am in two minds of going back as many students are right now. One, I am keen as mustard to get back into it. To learn, to study, to get my degree so I can get some money from employment!!! The other mind, is nervous of the unknown. Will I do well? Will I pass the exams? Will I be able to cope with the workload? Of course I will!!! but the nerves are still there.
I have loved the time off but it has been way too long. I feel like I could have done a semester of work while on holiday.
I have worked at Eagleby South for a few weeks and finally felt like I found my groove on the last day. Its such a difficult school. I hope I dont get one like it for my final and most important prac. 

Hug of Friendship

Hug of Friendship

A friend can be like a Teddy Bearto hug and hold when the world has given you all you can bear.

A hug of friendship is an incredible feeling which can mean a lot more if it's given with meaning.
When the world isn't being all that nice,and you feel like nobody could ever care... they'll be right here to hug and hold..and forever be your teddy bear.. There's this thing I like to call friendship pride this simply means neverleaving your friend's side.

Sharing your thoughts,ideas, and goals.. while getting deep into theirhearts and souls.. Friends never make you feel insecure they always support and make you feel right and pure.
Friendship is not a game; if it is, it's a game of chance, that many timesmay lead to romance.. When it's raining outside and there's a storm and it's cold it's always nice to have a warm teddy bear to hold.
Friends always think about each other,sometimes maybe even twentyfour/seven,then sometimes you encounter thosefriends you think were sent from Heaven.So the next time you are feeling like you need someone to hold, come to a true friend with a heart of Gold..

Happiness...

Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed. - Storm Jameson.

What is happiness???

Happiness is ...

... Reuben getting ready in the morning without calling him endless times.

... walking for 45mins with 3 friends on a monday morning at 5.45am!!!

... feeling confident with what I do and say.

Eumundi Markets Saturday...

Today went to these markets near Noosa with Doris and Allison. Wow is all I can say. I saw so many things that I could have bought if I had endless cash!!! Doris twisted my arm to buy a bracelet. Its sterling silver and has a twist in the middle of it. Allison bought her lazy susan for her table too. It is beautiful.

We then went to the Ginger Factory. We had lunch and then looked around. I bought a ginger chocolate bar for mum. After the factory we went over to the macadamia outlet and tried their flavoured nuts. I accidently tried a chilli one. I am SO not a spicy person. I had to go and was my mouth out. However, the honey and sesame ones are my favourite. The sugared ginger pieces were yum too.

After the Macadamia outlet we went to a scrapbook shop at Caloundra. All I can say is... I NEED more money!!! So many things... not enough money!!!

On the way home my mobile rang. It was mum telling me that she had fallen down the stairs of her unit. I hoped it would never happen. She is ok but bruised, cut and sore. I will go around there in the morning and see what else I can do for her. I called in tonight and she was ok. Bloody stairs!!!!

Sadly, I accidently discarded my post about my weight loss. Here I go again...

I have lost 8.9kg in 10 weeks. Walking with the girls everyday has helped so much. Some days are hard to get through without sugar (lollies) and some days I dont even think about it. Having the girls to motivate me to walk has helped incredibly. 

Tom and Katie???

So what is going on with this couple??? Are they still getting married? Are they finished??? Who knows??? and really do we want to really know? They are in Australia to attend the Kerry Packer memorial. You would think that if they were not together that Katie wouldnt be with Tom here in Australia. Do I really care? Im just glad that Nicole Kidman saw the light eventually! 

This is Madonna at the recent British Awards. What was she thinking? What is happening with her hair??? I guess when you have that much money... you just dont care what others think!!! Hey, I need that kind of money!!! LOL 

Kimba's Kommentary

Kim: Ruler; Leader of the warriors. (I never knew Kim meant this!!!!)

K - Kind

I - Imagines

M - Makes people laugh

Three letters is not enough to really describe the Kim that I am... but these 3 are great summary.

Friendship

Friendship is like the breeze,
You can't hold it,
Smell it,
Taste it,
Or know when it's coming,
But you can always feel it,
And you'll always know it's there,
It may come and then go,
But you can know it'll always be back.

Today's Quote

"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."~Confucius

I love this quote! It is so true.

Thursday's Chatter

Wow, what a day. Working at the school is hard work. I cant remember the school being as hard as it is now. I makes me think who will I cope as a teacher? It makes me wonder what the hell I am doing! However, I see what else the teachers could be doing, using strategies that are more appropriate. I just hope I dont to a point where I forget what works or I get too tired to care or that I burn out and cant work anymore. I want to inspire kids to learn. I want to inspire kids to be the best they can be. I want kids to know that there is a bigger world out there.

Tonight I have watched Vegas and Medium. Reuben has come home in a great mood from steve's. I asked steve to bring him home at 8pm. He was more settled and went to bed at 8.30pm.
