Good 4 day week. Work was okay, it was the same as always with not much to report. Thursday night Dave and I went to the Luna outdoor cinema to see a screening of the Joy Division documentary, which was great to see. We walked home from Leederville and it was a beautiful night.
When I got home from work last night I was a little down about everything. I had gone to the doctor and since I am not eligible for medicare yet, it cost me a lot of money and I didn't get what I wanted out of the appointment. I started to think about that, and moving house soon, and our visa, and work and possible school and just became very stressed and teary. Dave as always was amazing and supportive and made me feel so much better.
I got some news a few minutes after when I was checking my email...ECU (Edith Cowen University) wrote me to tell me that I have been accepted into their Graduate Diploma of Education program!!!!! Provided the visa gets sorted out, I start at the end of Feb/beginning of March and finish in December. It's an intensive program, and at the end I am qualified to teach high school!!!!!!!!! It's all just so exciting, and I can't wait to embark on a challenge and have a change. It's something that I'm actually pretty scared to do, but I really want to just dive into it. It's time to take that step, to grow up and do something that fulfills me.
Dave, Jack and I had champagne to celebrate; Jack just started working at RTR as well, so that was another celebration! Larni came over and we had a great time sitting on the deck, hearing the sounds from the Police concert, and then watching Beavis and Butthead episodes until bedtime.
The weekend is still going - tomorrow is Big Day Out! Should be a great day. I'm off!

Aussie Day Long Weekend
It's Friday afternoon, and the clock hits 5:30. Yayyyy! It's the weekend! And not just any weekend either...it's...a....LONG WEEKEND!
When I got home, the house was empty - no Dave or Jack! But sson enough they arrived with snacks for the Aussie Day party the next day and with Hungry Jacks for dinner. Chomp. After dinner we got into Jack's car and headed out to the Ace Cinemas in Subi to meet Lou, Larni, and Kok. It was Juno night! I think Juno was a bit hit with everyone who went; it was funny, the cast was great, and it had a heart. It was fully cute without being nauseating and the soundtrack was cool. Everyone was in good spirits after the movie so we all went to Bagot to hang out, and to watch (to the boys' dismay) Sex & the City episodes. Outside, you could hear the Bon Jovi concert going on, it was great. When we ot home we already felt like we had a great night, and the weekend had just begun.
Saturday was Australia Day, and we, on Mary Street were the party hosts. he party kicked off in the afternoon and continued on until good and late at night. The Bagot girls made some fabulous goon punch. Our place is a great on to have a party - great big open plan lounge and kitchen, and a huge deck with a BBQ. That night, we had an amazing view of the Aussie day fireworks. It was my second Australia Day and they keep on getting better!
I woke up without a hangover on Sunday, which was great. Dave and I went out for breakfast at the Beaufort Street Merchants and I had the best vegetarian panini ever! After that, Renee called and invited us to go to the beach with her and Owen. Dave had some pretty bad allergies, which was really too bad, but he still decided to beach it, so we went. It was a beautiful day, a perfect beach day, over 30 and sunny. We chatted and soaked up the sun (with proper sunscreen of course), got ice cream and the boys went for a swim (Renee and I were a bit put off by the water temperature and liked just enjoying the sun). Later on Renee and Owen came back to ours and we had a big BBQ dinner of steak, salad, grilled eggplant, garlic bread and potato bake, mmmmm! Watched the tennis and then Superbad.
Monday was another beautiful day. Dave and I hung out in the morning and I was glad for him because his allergies were gone. The boys had a band practice in the afternoon and I went to the park and read my book. I saw some lovely rainbow birds on the way and watched them for awhile. Time flew fast, and soon it was time to make supper and wind up the weekend, but I think long weekends are where it's at. I felt relaxed, recharged and prepared more or less for the work week.
