Well, here's my semi-annual post! :P Been having a very varied semester and there's a lot to say in one post... I've spent so much time on buses just reading and thinking. It's a bad habit though, 'cause it upsets my balance sometimes. I get a little lost into my thoughts.

It's been good though, just sifting through all my baggage and learning how to throw off what's hindering me. Learning to do things I really love rather than things I think I have to do... It's wonderful.

As a result I'm into my sixth week of violin and learning so much so quickly! My teacher's a Russian who started her degree at 14. Yep, she's that good. So, she's a perfectionist, which suits me just fine! It's been great and she's really encouraging. Turns out I have perfect pitch! Wicked. :)I'm learning to play Amazing Grace at the moment. It's going to be awesome...

Also, I got promoted to State Manager for Schools 4 Schools, so I'll be running the operation for the whole state! (Like a province...) So excited. Going to be a lot of work, but so worth it. I get to build something myself that's going to be making an impact on children in SA! It's awesome! :)

Also, been asked to be the Vice President for Education for teh new United Nations Society at Adelaide University (AUUNS! So, it's going to be one heck of a busy year. But hey? What am I if not a workaholic?

Also, was fantastic to have my parents over for my 21st. Can't believe I'm that old... The party was wicked! (I missed you all insanely at that moment.) Got a crapload of wonderful gifts, including a ruby and diamond ring from my parents. (I couldn't believe my eyes...)

So, yeah. Life's good and I'm really looking forward to looking outside of myself for a while. It's so energising and hopeful. When I can be a blessing, I'm blessed. It's a funny cycle...
