3 weeks to go.

I sit in my bedroom tonight and I hear ..

the gumtrees make rustling noises in the strong wind outside,
the possom knocking on my roof as he/she does every so often in the night,
faint gun shots from my brother's room from some crazy computer game he is playing,
the murmur of my small table fan which is about to die after years of service,
and the sheer silence of the night.

It still seems a bit unreal that in three weeks time, on a similar monday evening my ears will be privy to a new set of sounds .. not sure what they will be .. will let you know :)

Ah first times ...

They say there is a first time for everything .. so here it goes .. my first blog post in my first blog... are you the first reader ???

Here's to some of those first times ... difficult yet full of possibilities

• First day at school ... Thought: ' how beautiful is my new school bag and my cool new pencil case with all these new pencils '
• First crush ... Thought: 'oh how cute is he'
  
• First day at work ... Thought: 'I'm going to work my hardest and consequently do really well here'
• First heart break.. Thought:'The world is going to end. Its going to stop spinning'
• First sip of alcohol ... Thought:'Yuk, how can anyone pay for this stuff'
  
• First day of unemployment... Thought: 'yipee! i can sleep in'
  
• First blog entry ... Thought:'Geez just what have i signed up for'
  

Luckily there is always a second time :)
