So right now I'm home alone while Rob is out at youth group. I never realised how boring Friday nights at home are because I used to be leading at my old youth group. So I have nothing better to do than blog. Other things I have already done tonight are stacking the dishwasher, turning on the dishwasher, hand washing things that didn't fit, watched lots of The Chaser's war on everything. So yes... blogging is the best option.
Last weekend was a very busy weekend... and both me and Rob didn't get much sleep... and hence we both got sick... which was sucky because I was working 5 days in the week and Rob had multiple assignments due. Spent a few nights just catching up on sleep and forgetting about doing uni work. So we quickly got better. But then the past few nights we've been staying up again doing Rob's assignments. I had to help him with editing and grammar. Last night we were up till 12 to do an assignment that was due at 12. Rob wasn't very happy with the end product. I was feeling a bit sad about it too because I think if we managed our time better we could have done a good assignment. Anyways it's gone now... hope Rob passes. He also had an assignment due today which he ended up finishing at uni... I think he'll do ok in that assignment.
On a happier note... we got our wedding photos!!! YAY!!! Linda and Chloe are the best!!! The photos are beautiful. There are actually a lot of photos! It took us quite a while to get through them. Actually, because Rob was doing assignments, he said I wasn't allowed to look at the photos until we could look at them together, so I had to wait to see them even though they were here in our possession. We're gonna display them on the computer when we have our house warming (finally got it planned).
I have found that ever since I've gotten married, I've become more and more impatient. Like I wanted to just look at the photos without Rob and I opened presents when Rob wasn't around and I just generally don't like waiting for things anymore. I'll be finding out something in two weeks and I just feel irritated that I can't know now. Also my new school hasn't called me since Friday to tell me more about what I'll be teaching. I also find I get more easily agitated with students at school... but maybe that's just because they are talkative annoying girls from a girls school.
Because I've been doing casual for the past week, I've had to supervise some religion classes. They use the Catholic Bible there because it's a Catholic school. I've never had a look in a Catholic Bible before so I had a read of Tobit. It's a weirdish book (from what I've read). I can see why it wasn't included in the Christian Bible. I can accept that what is in the book of Tobit may be true, but it doesn't seem like a very Bible-ish book... if you know what I mean. It doesn't seem like it serves a purpose, but is rather just an account of someone who lived in "Bible times."
I could probably go to sleep now. I am tired. Should I stay up for Rob to come home? Tomorrow I can sleep in YAY! If I don't go to sleep now, I'll have to find something else to do. Youtube is tempting. Eh... I'll get ready for bed.

wireless down
Ok, so my net is playing up at the moment. My mac's airport doesn't seem to like the walls in our apartment. But that's ok... because right now I'm writing up my blog in textedit and then later I'll copy and paste this into blogger... so never fear! You'll be able to read this blog :) (:O you're reading it now!!! I told you so!)
I have more exciting news today. But first... the back story...
Me and Rob (and various other people) have been praying that I get a more secure job. And it's really awesome how God has answered our prayers! If only we looked to God first all the time and trusted in him faithfully. So the day after we prayed, I went online and found about 5 music teacher jobs! Some of the applications were really frustrating to do. Some only required an email. I applied to all the jobs (I've applied to every job that has come up... let me tell you that's a lot of applications and rejections!). Then finally at the beginning of the week, two of the schools got into contact with me wanting interviews. I went to one interview yesterday and went to one interview today.
Yesterday's interview: I almost didn't make it... because they were a bit slow in telling me what day they wanted me to come in, and then when they did tell me what day to go in, it turned out to be a day that Rob needed the car to go to Wyong. Fortunately, the public transport was alright and I made it there in good time. The interview was so-so. Some of the questions really threw me off because they weren't questions I was expecting. I was a bit disappointed after that interview... but then again, it was my own fault for not preparing enough for it beforehand.
Today's interview: This time I had the car and got to the school early. I sat in the car so that I wasn't going to be super early. This school's interview process seemed better. They gave me the questions beforehand and gave me 10 minutes to write notes/answers to the questions. Then they had 2 people interview me... they also provided water (but I didn't need it). Then they asked me those questions and I gave my answers. They weren't intimidating and were very encouraging. They were saying to me that I could take my time and have some water if I needed to think about anything. Though because I prepared beforehand I had all my answers clear in my head and so the interview went by very speedily.
So yeah... 2 hours after my interview today the school I went to today told me I got the job! YAY!!! It's a temporary (maternity leave) part time (mon, wed, fri) music teacher job 30 minutes from my house. Praise God for his love and generosity. I don't know much about the students... they may be good or bad... but I can't be picky about that. I start in two weeks. In the meantime I'm working for the next two weeks at Loreto. Woo Hoo! I'm gonna get income!
Other exciting news for you... here are pictures of the quiche I made! Look at Rob he's so excited about the quiche he had to rock out on the guitar! Don't look at the pictures too close up though... because then it doesn't look like quiche.
We're having a busy weekend this weekend with people coming over. Should be nice to catch up with some people we haven't seen in a while. Hope it wont be too tiring. We still haven't had a house warming yet... that'll have to happen soon. I've also been pretty slow on the wedding thank you cards... hopefully they'll come in the next few weeks. Gosh I'm such a bad person... we've been married a month and no thank you cards sent yet!
That reminds me... me and Rob have been married for 1 month... that means 1 month of me living without a tv! Who would have thought I'd survive? It hasn't been that hard at all actually. I think because we don't have a tv, I've been able to blog more. LOL!!!
