O' Week!!!

This week is O week for most students starting or returning to Uni and this year has been a big one for Uni of Ballarat!

I might start off by bagging little Johnny Howard, because of the new changes made last year where it is no longer compulsory to be a member of the association students have to pay when they join up on the day which means long lines and not a lot of movement anywhere! so before any fun was had we all had to line up for at least 2 hours before we could get out of the place. And for the people that did not join up this year maybe you should as you get a lot out of it and it would be nice to prove Johnny wrong about people not wanting to join!!

Monday night was band night where Evermore dropped in for a visit. They were so awesome i didn't mind a lot of there songs on radio but it would never get me turning up my radio if ya know what I mean but after hearing them live gave me a new appreciation for the band I hope they continue to write and sing songs cos they truly are a good thing for NZ (Aussies have probably already calmed them??)

Tuesday night was the movie night and they showed 'Kenny'. It is a funny movie that most Australian will enjoy I recommend this movie for a little funny night in. That was pretty much my O week which is a nice way of easing into going back to uni for my 2nd year which I am looking forward to. What did other people do for O week??

I'm Back for 2007!!!

Here we go for another year and it has come so fast!!! My last blog was a long time ago so I have been up to a fair bit.

In early December My Uncle was in a car accident where he lost his life as my close friends would know, but I do want to put out there that everyone should be very safe and careful on the roads and look after each other as life is to short.

My Christmas was good but it is very tough having 2 lots of family's to get to in the one day with my family and Melissa's family but after spending most of the day in the car we managed to have a good Christmas.

New Years Eve was a differnet matter!! 2005's NYE was rather bad as my mate, Gavin and I decided to do a road trip from Heathcote to Alboury and rock the night hard! Well when we got there it was stinking hot and not much of a night life. So this year was going to be bigger and better and it was decided to stay closer to home so since I'm already in Ballarat we thought that would be a good enough place to go so Myself, Mel, Gav, Claire and Trav hit the town but the town turned and hit us back! most places shut and no fire works but at least the company was good! Thanks guys. Anyone got a good spot for the next New year???

The Holiday for this year was in Torrumburry on the murry which was great, Melissa's family has a boat called Heathen, he goes really fast and I managed to knee board which for me is a big effort, it was nice to get away from at all and relax. But before I know it i will be back in my thongs and note pad and off to uni for my 2nd year.
