ARRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHH!!!! !!!

im soooooooo bored!!!!!

i was looking forward to a really nice sleep in today and a lazy day (and i was going to pick up my videocamera), but noooooo, i had to get called into work!!! my boss is sick so i had like 20 min to get out of m pj's, have a  shower find appropriate clothing to wear and find access cards and keys to the ABC!!!

talk about hectic, and for some reason today i have had ppl coming and asking really tough questions and wanting difficult transactions taht I've never had to do before! So I decided to call my mumsy wumsy to calm me down, and it worked!!! She told me that my sis and her boyfriend/fiancee have just bought a block of land- 250 acres near stanthorpe. I'm very excited!!! We were all looking at a 600 acre block a few weeks ago, but it fell through. apparently its very nice and has such a nice address "mountain Park Road" mmmm..... and theres a 250 block right next door, so I'm really praying that it doesn't get sold until I get my payout money and can buy it!!! then we can live right next door!!!

and my sis and Brad are driving down to the snow today, and are running late so may be stopping here at the SAN for the night!!! im sooo happy!

Last nite I went driving with the girls (jo jo, nadia and ralph), it was so much fun!!! we headed to a beach, although i do not know how it is even classified as a beach...more like a pond compared to our BEAUTIFUL QUEENSLAND BEACHES!!! and it was all dark and scary so we decided to get out of there and continued our rampage with funky old-school music blaring to manly. we bought $20 worth of icecream(WOAH!!!) and the servings were HUGE!!!! i reckon at least 3 people could easily share one!!! we were expecting tiny portions like baskin robbins have...what a mistake!!! so then we were all nearly throwing up!!! but we walked down to another beach (yes, this was a sort-of-real-one) and it was soooo nice!!! it was dark and we could see the stars and the waves breaking in the moonlight looked slightly scary yet oh-so-romantic!!! we were all complaining that there were no men there to enjoy the moment with so we just all gave each other a hug instead!!! Then after the magic had sort-of worn off we started to realise just hjow cold it was!!! so we rushed back to the car (with jo jo in her pink Pj's...tee hee...we got some funny looks!!!) and put the heater on full-blast and drove home by which time I was vererryy tired!!!

so yeah, im bored at teh moment which is unusal b/c i usually looove working at the ABC but today i just have a really short attention span!!! I've been working on Carlaa's and Bradens presents, but then my mind wanders elsewhere etc etc

I can't wait till Sabbath!!! Even though i haven't been terribly busy this week i'm just really tired. i just wanna have a whole day with just me & God and chill. Tomorrow our youth group have stuff planned so that should be fun- letter boxing and ice-skating..woohoo!!!

mmm, now the shop is starting to get exciting..Jess came in and we had a chat and now all the first years have come in a hoard buying out the shop!!!

So i guess I'd better go and actually do some work!!!! lol

:P

ok ok...due to a wake-up-call from Sonia (Thankyou!!!) i have come to the realisation taht I haven't posted in, well quite a while!!!

so heres whats been happeneing:

firstly, remember I said that I had like way exciting news??? well, the other day i was in an elevator at teh San with this wardsman about my age, and you know whats its like in elevators you try and avoid looking at the people and just pretend that the door is the most fascinating thing you've ever seen!!! well just by chance i happened to glace at his nametag and it said "rowan Kew'. and i was like 'OH, mY GOSH'!!!! and i said it outloud, and as i did that he read MY nametag and said my name outloud......and we both started talking at once!!!! I grew up with this guy in goulburn which is where I was born...back then we were inseparable....my sister was friends with his sister and so he and i  became good friends. I haven't seen him in like 13 years!!!! and boy has he grown up!!! It was such a wierd feeling, to think that every day I have seen him around the hospital, never saying hello, never knowing all this time who he really was!!!! It just blows my mind!!!!! so yeah...was that worth the wait/?? well at least I find it exciting, even if no-one else does!!!! :P

sooo...apart from that there has been a little incident which has happened...i dont really want to go into details cause everytime i have to repeat it, it just drives home the fact that my life is in complete shambles at the moment. So i hope you forgive the briefness...

I was in the ER department of westmead hospital last week, was admitted due to some complications with my back. I stayed there waiting for various tests and scans to be done, and had a visit from my neurosurgeon on the friday with some very, very bad news. Basically it afffects everything- every component of my life. I have lost my career, everything. I dont know if it will ever end. its very very hard for me to keep a posiitive atitude with all this, some days I just burst into tears, anywhere, anytime, but I hope taht you will pray for me that God will bring me through this smiling as He has always done :)

anywho...on a more happy note i am LOVING going to our youth group. Its only really gotten good these last few months, and boy, is it GOOD!!! I love meeting all the new people and sharing Jesus and what he's done with ppl my age. and we do heaps of stuff together- social stuff as well as tons of outreach stuff. This weekend we have letterboxing leaflets for a seminar our church is running and ice-skating on Saturday nite...well i wont be personally skating but i can watch and check out all the hot christian boys!!!! mmmmmmm....... ;)

well, i can hear my extremely messy-just-got-hit-by-hir oshima's-eqivilent room calling, so im gonna love ya and leave ya.

Nite all my favourite ppl!!!! :)

*****************WATCH THIS SPACE******************** ***

aaahh.... the happiness that being busy brings!!!!

I have waited for this moment my whole life....well maybe not quite that long, more like 10 weeks or so!!!

Today I officially registered as a 'SAN volunteer' which means that I am one of those ppl who gets to wear the oh-so-sexy yellow t-shirt!!!

Level 6 (oncology ward) want me to work 4 hours a day for 2 days a week as their assist Ward Secretary. Level 10 (orthopaedics) want me for the same thing, 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. And the actual volunteers office wants me to help out in their office as well!!!! pheeww!!! Maybe i shouldn't have told them that I have experience in Office admin!!! naaah, im stoked that I have this opportunity to work on the wards, meet tons of new ppl and just generally keep busy!!! :)

Had my first physio session today...well rather I was SUPPOSED to....I thought it was at 2pm so I slept in, but it was actually at 9AM!!! whooppsss!!!! I feel terrible, but im sure they'll charge me for it so yeah...oh for those of you who dont know i started having physio at Hornsby (public) but for reasons i dont want to post to the public I decided to go privately, and its just so much closer (like 100m!!!) I have a male physio (mmmmm!!) named Stu, haven't met him yet, but boy am i looking forward to it!!! lol ;)

bought a video camera off Ebay today...its a JVC just the one I wanted so i am veerrryyyy excited. Have many plans for it next semester.....BWA HA HA!!!!

Got to talk to Mr sandwich on the phone tonite...that was very nice...and it reminded me of how much i miss all my avondale friends :(  aaahh well, its only four more weeks :)

I'm going home this thursday!!! Its been soooo hard for me to keep it a secret from my mum (as those of you who know me well....i tend to have a big mouth!!!) I've come close a few times to saying it, but i think that since I've made it this far I can make it a few more days (maybe!!!)

hmmm....well ive just been working at the ABC, cleaning and orgnising my room, hassling Kylie-anne & Kristin, doing craft and some Student dean stuff. Not too much, but all that will change tomorrow!!!! HIP HIP...HOORAAYYY!!!!

Nite all :)
