I am in shock!
So.... I've been trying very hard to read Harry Potter 5 before the movie comes out... I get up to chapter 27.... turn the page... and find out that I'm rereading something from chapter 11! So... I wonder if this is some sorta weird trick JKR has done to give the illusion of real 'magic' but it's a printing error!!! Pages 529-576 has been replaced by a repeat of pages 193-240. HOW BAD IS THAT!!! You'd think there would be some sort of quality control or something. So yes... I've got a bad feeling I wont be able to exchange the book because I bought it in Feburary... but I'll give it a go. In the meantime... I can't read on... and it was getting mildly exciting. Has this ever happened to someone before?

p.s: if someone wants to lend me a book so I can read pp529-576 that would be cool

man talk
I have a soft toy sore throat:
I also have a very real sore throat... and I sound like a man. I can sing a D below middle C to be precise. It's very troubling... but I'm trying to remain calm because I know the cause of this sore throat was stress in the first place.
And funnily enough I didn't get my sore throat from screaming at misbehaved boys on prac. In fact... prac was awesome. The boys were all very obedient and I had a good time teaching them. I went back on tuesday night to help mark their trial HSC performances and I had a good time. They are all very talented musically. I'm going to miss going there every day... I also felt like I bonded really well with the teachers there. I'm gonna go to the 'evening of music' to catch up and see how everything is going.
On the other hand... switch camp is stressing me out like there is no tomorrow! I fully had a breakdown last night. Mum says that I'm taking it all a bit too seriously... and I am. I thought it would be easier this year because I had done it last year... but it's been so much more hectic this year. I've been reminded that I can't just rely on my own efforts but that I really need to rely on God.
In more exciting (and cute) news. I bought three watermelon slices which can be seen here. They are going to be my future inspiration for making cute toys. In fact I would have already started my craft escapades if it wasn't for my stupid sickness which is keeping me stuck in this dreary house.

Uni over!!!
I have no more uni work to do, except for one assignment - which I'm not counting as an assignment because I'm looking forward to doing it - it's fun (it's an orchestral arrangement).
[while typing the above... I accidentally swallowed a spearmint eclipse mint. Should I take another one???]
Tomorrow I start on prac. So I wont be at uni for a long time. It's kinda sad that I'll be missing the last week of uni. I feel like I haven't said a proper goodbye to my uni friends. Luckily for me I'll see most of them not too far away at MYC!!! I'm super excited about MYC. I'm feeling the need for a bit of guidance... especially since Elsie gave me a 5 year plan to write up.
Anyways... back to prac. I visited the school and now I'm really excited about teaching there. It's a boys school so I'm sure many weird and funny things will happen and that I'll learn a lot of stuff. The music teachers there are very nice. Friendly too. [hmmm... does nice assume friendly???]
I'm excited about the holidays... I'm going to go craft crazy! I have patterns printed out already... just need to get fabric. I'm going to make lots of cushions and plus toys. I've talked about my germs before... I want to make things like my germs... but maybe I'll make animals. You have to check out this cool site... so cute!!! (to see more go here)
Well... gives you enough stuff to browse over and comment about. I'll end here [p.s: I did decide to have another mint]

I...
I am officially behind in my work (yet I blog). I got home from uni at 10:30pm after choir practise and went to bed. Then this morning I had to go to the doctors with dad in St Leonards so I couldn't get anything done this morning. I am glad though that I went with dad because he was very nervous and I think he appreciated me being there. The doc said that they have no idea what is wrong with dad because the test results and symptoms don't add up. If only House was a real doctor. I also had my trumpet test today... had a little time to practise before going to the doctors (may have woken up neighbours) and then I practised just before my test. I think I practised too much because when I got into the exam my throat just closed up and my lips wouldn't stay tight... I didn't do too bad though. So yes... I'm going to hand in my essay on monday. I figured I could hand it in today, unedited, way under word count, crappy but Iain would probably just then get me to resubmit it... so hopefully I'll do some good on it this weekend (I actually don't have much time this weekend either... got my violin test on monday morning).
well I have to go tutor... sigh... but my student recently came first in her class. I'm so proud.

My promised blog to Jen
Well I haven't blogged in ages... I've been trying to be good and restrict internet activity so that I could do uni assignments. I've done quite a few so far... but still got heaps to go (after this week it will be cruisy-er)
At the moment... this is the most exciting thing happening in my life:
Doesn't it look the coolest?
Anyways... I've been having some dramas... For a long while I didn't have a prac school to go teach at but I've got one now which is very comforting (but scary at the same time). I'm also a bit behind on my work. This weekend I was supposed to go to this weekend away for CBS-stuff but I decided that I should stay home and do work. It's sad that I can't go... but I think I need the weekend at home. I also wont be working for the next week at pizzacutters.
Next week I have choir rehearsals almost every night (and quite late too). Hopefully I'll get a lot of things dones this weekend so that I wont have to stress during the week. Lack of sleep hasn't been too good either.
I've also been finding it sad not having a personal bible quiet time. I'm so close to finishing reading the whole entire bible... but still so far. I have been getting a lot of bible reading done daily though (with church, switch, bible study and CBS stuff)... but you get a little something different from a personal quiet time.
Uni holidays and MYC are coming up rapidly... they are my motivation for getting stuff done now!
The other day someone asked me how I was going in my singleness... and I guess I'm doing smashingly well. It hasn't really crossed my mind lately that I'm single and that it may be a problem. I'm content with life.
I am so into craft at the moment. I recently made something... but I cannot share it on the internet because it's 'special.'
My bed calls....

A night in the life of a Pizza Cutter...
Today Barry O'Farrell came into the store and ordered a BBQ meat lovers:
-I thought he was on a diet!
-I've met him before when he lived near church... and he has more white hairs now
-he was looking healthy though
I think I offended him because I asked what his name was to put on the docket... even though I did know who he was... I just needed to make sure it was him... and I didn't want to look starstruck.
me: can I get a name for that?
him: no that's ok
me: (huh? oh he must have misheard me) OH I just need a name for the order
him: OH! It's O'Farrell, Barry, I'm Barry O'Farrell
me: ok thanks... *tries not to look stupid in front of a famous person*
He didn't seem to be in a good mood either... maybe he just got back from a big yelling session with all the other politicians... plus... he's a big leader now! It was a pity though... cuz I wanted to ask him what he did with those agapantha's my dad gave him (among other random questions and friendly chit chat).
Hopefully he liked the pizza and I'll see him again.
