There's a few things up in the air for me at the moment.
Big adventurous things.
Trying not to get excited ahead of myself...
Eeek!
I'll fill you in when/if I know more.
In other news:
- Tonight I survived 12 parent/teacher interviews tonight. One parent came with a whole sheet of questions and concerns, our 10 minute session lasted around half an hour.
- There are only 3 days left of term 1.
- Tomorrow is Mission Day. We all get dressed up as people from different countries & travel around the world (aka the classrooms)learning about the countries, the culture, the needs etc (all in 50 minutes!). We're also having a cake stall to raise money for our sister school in the Philippines... we have developed the motto "More than 5, you won't survive" after last year's overindulgence. haha
- Next week I'm going to Adelaide. fun times!

The Flatmate with the Aversion to Doors
Last night I got home after dark and went to open my front door but my key wouldn't fit in. It was dark, so I fumbled around a bit and realised the keyhole was full... with the tip of my flatmate's key. hmm. She hasn't come home yet, so I haven's had the chance to ask her how she managed to leave half of her key behind. hhaha I am looking forward to that conversation.
The thing is, though, in the 5 weeks she has lived here this is not her first door incident. In this short space of time she has managed to lock herself out... 3 times, lock the bathroom from the outside twice (I am still not sure how she does this) and left the front-door wide open for a whole afternoon.
Despite her aversion to doors she is a great flatmate, who loves to clean for fun (this does not make sense in my head). But just to be on the safe-side I got three new keys cut today :)

Those Moments
Today I feel so not sick! Oh it's such a good feeling! Haha, I was only sick for 2 days, but I felt ridiculously horrible. I don't ever want to be properly sick, I'm so grateful for good immunity.
School was fun today. My kids presented their projects on Japan. I was actually quite impressed with what most of them came up with... of course there was one boy who seemed completely oblivious to the fact that we have been working on projects for the last 3 weeks & a few who if I typed their speech into google I'm sure I would find it... hmm more teaching on research skills next term it seems. But I was so impressed with the creativity in their presentations, one boy even dressed up as a professer with a blue wig, he was such a crack up. At the end of the day he came and told me (still in character) that my children had done some great research and he had learnt a lot by listening to their presentations. oh they are fun kids!
This afternoon two beautiful friends and I had a coffee catch up after school. Great food, crazy conversations and a lovely way to end the week!
Then we sat by the lake and Lou played some of the new songs she's been writing. Oh she's so talented. Sweet, soul-sharing music on the jetty by the lake as the sun sets... it was one of those moments that made my heart so full. I seriously live in one of the most beautiful places & have such amazing friends. Oh I sometimes wish I had more adjectives...hmm maybe some pictures instead?
