paper planes



My soundtrack at the moment... Really cruisy and easy. Life is good, and this song is super cool... haha

We had a great weekend at home last weekend. Spent some loving time with Kickin' Super Tripper, our van... heh.. she needed it. Its running really well now. We were/are so impressed with her... She drove all the way to the top of the mountain eassssy! :) Definitely a goer!
Only thing is, when we got back to Brisbane, we realised that one of the headlights has died... :( But... I've just called the place we bought the van, and they are happy for us to bring the van over and take it down to their auto electricians or whatever. So yay for that!

I even had a go at driving her! Hahaha.. which was funny. Mateus taught me how to drive, and sort of three point turns... but yeah.. i really need to keep practicing! hahah... tricky! Was so funny, i didn't want to meet anyone on the road... lucky noone came along...I am sure i would have freaked out if they did.

Oh! I have some more news too, I'm going to a job interview on Friday! At SpeakOut Creative
Am a little nervous, not really about the job interview.. but more about what to do if the job is good and i get it and i want to take it... thats the part that makes me sick, having to think about what i will do if its good and i want it and i have to tell GV... eep
But, anyway.. it looks like a really good company, and they have a good idea behind them... So we'll see... tomorrow morning!

We're planning to go go karting this weekend too! Which will be interesting I'm sure.. hehe.. I've never been, but its fun apparently.. so people keep telling me. I'm just worried about the whole driving aspect.. haha... :) I guess I'll get more practice there hey! Only thing is it will be going super fast... hahaha... SPEED!

happy happy :D

night watch

*yawn*
Am tired after two night shifts in a row... so glad I finish work at the normal time today!
We've started an Evening Class here at school, which means one of the admin staff has to stay back until 9pm every weekday.. But the good thing is we get to start late too...
Which is REALLY nice... I can wake up without my alarm, go to the gym... clean the house a little.. I even baked a cake on Tuesday! Berry Sour Cream cake... which was eaten up in a record 24 hours! ;) Definitely a keeper...
I even got to hang out with Jessica a little, which was good too... cause I don't get to see her much during the week, with her schedule and mine being so different. (Jessica is my flatmate).

Good news is that Mateus is finishing up at the bar on Saturday night... for now. He has decided, and quite rightly so, that he is working too much, and its not good for him. He's been in and out of having a cold now for 2 months straight! So, he has asked to finish at the bar from Saturday. They've been really good to him, but working as he is during the days during the week, and then going to the bar for 3 or 4 nights does not make things easy. So, we will finally be able to spend some time together on weekends... And we will finally be able to go on those trips we had hoped we would be able to do with the van! HURRAH! Those are sorely needed... am getting very tired of work and Brisbane at the moment.

I've even gotten back into that TESOL course I started so long ago! I've given myself a deadline to complete it by September, when Pam will leave the school for Japan. :( Not very good news... its going to be really hard to work here without her... the crew is splitting up!

Hmm.. not good... But I've been focusing on the good things... like Mateus finishing at the bar... :) And OH! Check out this gorgeous clip I found on youtube last night while trying to cure my boredom...



Cute huh?
