I finish school on Friday this week. Yesterday was our Year 12 day out, we went to Jambaroo ('where you control the action'). Yesterday was real fun, though I was completely stuffed by the time I got home. I still haven't showered yet, and I got home 14 hours ago. I will take one today.
In the first week of the holidays I go on camp, a study camp for the HSC. I am spending this week preparing for that, but really haven't done anything to help that. Today I don't have to go to school, so I am happy bout that, but dad has told me I have to help him with some work.
It is my brithday in about one month time, so I am pretty excited about that. I wil be 18, but I still have tochose what dad will give me for my brithday, I think if I don't make a choice Dad will just make one for me.
Nevertheless I am going to make the most of today. I have about 36 days of my school career left, so I will work hard today to ensure they are usefull.
To God alone be all Glory.

It's been long
I haven't written in the blog since February, it's been apathy really.
School has obviously intensified, HSC is coming ever closer, and I am getting more and more worried about where I am to be next year. I know it isn't the end of the world though. Have to wait for Jesus to come back for that!!
I will be completing my music practical this Monday. I am probably not as confident as would be desired of someone wanting to get good mark. I am fairly well prepared, but someof the songs aren't assolid as i would like them. Not to mention I have to buy a new guitar string tomorrow.
I am getting more excited though abotu JAM 2007. Camp is gonna be awesome, I will be spending a week in January serving God and teaching people about his Amazing Grace.
I have also found a new vision for University. Instead of being so focussed on doing history teaching,which I am sure would be awesome, I have become a bit more focussed on learning Classical Greek as apart of my Arts course, and see where that takes me.
Happy Fathers day tomorrow!!

Sad Week
This week was a bit of a dud. On Tuesday I got a phonecall in Extension History telling me that a family friend had passed away. He was the person who brought my father over to Australia from England. So it has been a bit sad to know that I will never see him again. His death was a shock to us, it was a heart attack.
But it has been really cool to hear from those people who have wanted to support me and my family. Sam Condon has been awsome in particular.
So I guess with the death of a close friend, the whole week revolves around throught about them, and painful reminiscing. I guess though that my week hasn't been that bad, and I think God has helped me to be strong.
I most imporantly need to focus of loving my family. God works to save people regularly through times like these.

Driving Lesson
Woke up today by my lovely father who out of his abundant graciousness allowed me to help him roll up the pamphlets (I was sorta obliged to do so actually). We also got to go help him deliver the pamphlets for an hour and a half.
I had a driving lesson today, I am wanting to have my P Plates by the end of this month. The driving instructor said that I should have them by then. I am a bit excited, I think I might be given a car when I get the provisional lisence.
I had a bit of a rest today also after the driving lesson. It was absolutley terrible. I was all hot and sweaty and it was all humid. So I woke up from two hours of sleeping not very happy Jan.
I also got to go skating with mates from school. It was awesome, I am enjoying my new skating routines. I am gonan try and build up my skills.
I have to make sure that I am digging into the word of God tommorow. I have been so slack this week with Bible reading because of school. It is so easy to push God out of my life but I need to make sure he is number one.

The Beginning of the End
I started school for the last time today. Year 12 is gonna probably bite me on the bum a bit when I see the ammount of work I have to get done. But I have done a bit of work today and still need to get some done before I go to bed tonight.
I worked out that someone has tampered with the timetabling system and got something very, very wrong. Who ever it is that fix the timetables for this year has reduced the number of periods where I get to do music, now I only get to do 7 periods a cycle rather than 8.
I am continually trying to learn how to play Creeds' One Last Breath. I am getting better at the riff but I have to learn some rock rhythming techniques so I can play the majority of the song which is very chordal and heavy.
I am going to restart ice skating tomorrow. I haven't been for about two months now and can't wait to get back into the routine of skating on Wednesdays. My decision to restart came majorly due to my weight. I have put on a few kilos, and I get a bit image concious when I put on weight. This week I may get 2 nights of skating in. Boomcha.

Bible Reading Time
Hey guys,
I saw Lauren Osborne's blog and thought to myself 'Why not have one of yours'. The series of events that lead up to this decision are mind blowing so I will have to run them by all my faithfull viewers and readers.
Today I went into Liverpool to meet up with a certain young lady and gentleman to talk bout stuff, and in the midst of all the over-socialityness I went and spent $17 on ukulele strings. Now these string, though good were not wisely purchased. Consequently, being the nervous and sometimes stupid person I am, I felt very guilty about using my money stupidly and not in a godly way.
When I got home in the hours following the previous mentioned cataclysmic events my guilt got to me and stopped me from doing what I should have done (i.e. a chunk of homework) and instead learnt guitar and ukulele all night.
When those of kin arived home I started teaching my sister the fine art of ukulele playing and amazingly she has learn four chords in one night. Upon going to bed I prayed and thenknowing my lazyness and godless misuse of the finances entrusted to me I thought I would go outside to read the Bible and pray, when, probabl due to procrastinating I came across Lauren Osbornes blog.
And that was my Thursday,
Time to do a quiet time with the Big Man.
