Yay!!

This will be a quick one as I am getting a lift to pick me up soon. I am at work and it is Sunday!!
Lucky me.
One day off this week but that is okay as I get the O.T for it all and I am happy about that.
I start training tomorrow so that should be fun. I don't have much work leftbut I will come in early tomorrow and get it all done. I have already done 6 hours today and that will be enough.

I have met someone too.....That is who is coming to pick me up. His name is Alex and he is wonderful. We are taking it slow and have seen quite a bit of each other over the last 2 and a bit weeks...but one day at a time. We both agree on that and that is a good start.
Things are progressing though and that is positive.
I am happy with the progress and so is he and we have wonderful communication.
We speak about anything that is one our minds and work through things together.
I made a pact with myself that I would not hide away in the shadows and allow myself to experience the whole situation for what it is...no matter what happens.
It is different from past relationships and I am happy about that.
Well to this point as I only have what has happened in the last two and half weeks to go on....but it is all good and i can see further down the track, and what the possibilities are.
So can he and that is a good thing as it is not all one sided.
So there you have it.
I will not write more on it but I thought that i would just put it out there for all you to know.
Then you know and I am not keeping it to myself.
It is a good thing and I hope that it stays that way.

It looks as though 2005 is shaping up to be a rather good year so far.
I have a new life starting and that is exactly whaty I have been after. University and someone who could potentially become a permanent fixture in my life( for want of a better phrase).

I hope all is well with you all and I hope to hear from you all soon....

Yahoo!!!

Hello Everyone!!!
Good news!!

I GOT INTO UNIVERSITY!!

What's more, I got into QUEENSLAND COLLEGE OF ART. My first preference!!!

I had to double check and make sure that that was right prior to accepting it all and make sure that I was not dreaming but there you have it!!

Yippeee!!!
Now all the hard work will start and I will not have any money or a life for a while in the adjustment period but there you have it. I am in and on my way to a better career!!!

How excitement!!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!

I have been sent a few images lately which have been taken from a satellite over the tsunami effected areas. I will post one of them when I get home as I am at work and unable to do so here.

They are a good example of how beautiful nature can be. They are clear and striking in colour.
I am particularly fond of photos that have been taken in space as they are usually the clearest pictures that can be taken. No atmosphere to get in the way of the subject. The subject is usually the disturbance that the photo is being taken of.

I think you will all like this photo. However, we all have to remember that from this beauty there has been much devastation. Nearly 150,000 people have lost their lives and many more have lost their homes and families. In a way it is a loss of life in itself.

Those that have been left behind will have to deal with the massive amount of devastation and destruction of their lively hoods.

Australians and the Australian government alone, have donated over $80 million to the plight of the tsunami victims. Men, women and children now have the task of surviving through disease outbreaks and the disposal of all those which lost their lives in the disaster.

This event not only effects those who have been directly hit by the waves and those in the country's where the waves have hit, but everyone within the region.
Although America is not within the Asia Pacific region, they are one of the world's leading economies and have had a massive impact on the Asia- Pacific region. Therefore they hold a responsibility to the people of this region.
I am proud however, that our government is playing the key role in relief and continued funded relief for these poor people.

It is a great indication of our capabilities and I would imagine that it would have a positive impact on our relations with those in these directly effected areas.

Australians have always had a positive image in this region and one of the largest - if not the largest power in the region, therefore I see this as a great opportunity for us to lend a helping hand. And I believe that it is this event that has also shown Australians that we are an important country in the region. We have a very good economy that allows us continued support of these people and continued aid.

But enough of all of that. I don't think I need to go on and sell Australia to many...I think most of it is already sold to foreign investors anyhow!! hehehe.
