Holiday Break

By inlimelight 4 Comments
Categories: Haileybury, Holiday, TAFE and Work

On Tuesday it will be time for me to go back to TAFE after an interesting break. I’ve had two weeks off but for some reason it feels like it’s been a month.

The first week I took the opportunity to relax and catch up with everyone who I hadn’t seen in quite a while. That week I had seen more of everyone than I had in the past three months. A full time TAFE course will do that to your social life. But it has been the second week that seems to have lasted the longest time, which has been good.

I’ve spent the past week working at Haileybury, filling in for one of the Facilities staff while they take some time off. So I’ve been moving furniture around and setting up functions which is much more satisfying work than what I do at my other place of employment.

The week was made even more interesting with the hoax bomb threat on April Fools Day. A student had sent an email to the entire school, students and staff at all 3 campuses. Despite the email being said to be an “obvious joke” all three campuses were evacuated. With the police copter flying overhead, so it was taken very seriously.

In other news, if all goes to plan I’ll have a new job soon. I’ve applied and I am waiting to see what happens now. So I will hopefully be able to quit my other job soon, which I have been wanting to do for about six months now, I’ve just been waiting for something else to give me an income.

Box Hill Bound

Once again it has been ages since I posted anything. I basically have been both to busy to write anything and didn’t have the energy to make something seem much more interesting than it actually was.

Anyway… as most of you already know, The offers for Uni and TAFE came out yesterday. AB and I waited 45 mins for the news paper to arrive at 7/11. (Dam thing was late) and now months of waiting is over. I know what I am doing as far as education goes for next year… I got an offer for Box Hill TAFE, for the Live Production course, which is excellent news if you hadn’t already have guessed. I am now trying to find the $2230 tuition fee by enrollment day on the 24th of Jan. I’m already half way there, and my parents are lending a hand as well.

In other news I’ve been working pretty much every day for the past two weeks, filling in for our manager who has gone on Holiday. I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing because everything was explained to me in a rush. I’m on the phone every 30mins asking one of the other managers what i should be doing. Other than that it is the usual crap you get from people. Yesterday it was a women who said “Not you again” which is a fantastic answer to “how are you?” I don’t know what i actually did to this person but I hope her husband ends up paying his $1000 in Late Fees… People take renting a DVD way to seriously.

Results

After years of study and and three days of exams (at least it was three for me) the VCE results have finally been released. For those who are interested, this is how I went….

English
GA 1: A
GA 2: B+
GA 3: C
Study Score: 30

Further Mathematics
GA 1: A
GA 2: B+
GA 3: B+
Study Score: 34

Sociology
GA 1: A
GA 2: A
GA 3: B+
Study Score: 35

Theatre Studies
GA 1: A
GA 2: C
GA 3: B+
Study Score: 34

And an enter score of 70.70 I don’t really have an opinion as to weather or not I did well. I never really needed and enter score for the courses I wanted to do next year anyway, all I needed was to have successfully completed the VCE, which I have done.

Anyway It’s been a while since I posted anything so I figured I may as well do a run down on what’s been happening.

All my interviews for my courses next year went very well. I received letters from RMIT, Box Hill and VCA telling me that they are wiling to offer me a place in their course next year, but I will have to put them as number one on my preference list. At the moment my no.1 is the Box Hill course and No.2 is RMIT. The whole interview process for the VCA put me off their course.

I have also been working allot during the break. I need the money to buy presents for the people. Its really expensive and hard to find something that is any good. Most of my work has been at Video Ezy and I also have some money coming from Haileybury… eventually. I did find out that I will be filling in for our manager at work while she goes away on holiday. I had “training” for it this morning and its all pretty easy (it’s not meant to be a pun! I hate that joke!) All I have to do is fill in some forms and email them as attachments, then go to the bank and deposit the money. It’s very tempting to just take it a run.

Yellow Light = Floor It!

What a fun morning yesterday was. I was on my way to the train station to go to the city to hand in yet another form for my uni courses next year. When all of a sudden…. ‘BANG’ my car had been hit. Don’t worry no one was hurt, except my car and the other women’s car.

“So what happened?” You may ask. Well I’ll tell you… Just relax..! I was traveling along Lower Dandenong Road at around 57Km/h in a 60 zone, in the right hand lane. I was getting closer and closer to an intersection, I look into my rear view mirror and see a car travailing fast out of the left hand lane and think nothing of it cause they won’t be able to get around me anyway because i can’t change lanes as there was a truck next to me. So I look strait ahead again and see that the light has changed to yellow. There was plenty of time for me to stop, so I did. I comfortably make a complete stop in-front of the white line and… “BANG”. ‘Fast traveling, purple car’ runs into the back of me. My first thought was, “oh god please just be a tiny scratch”, but it wasn’t, my rear bumper was shattered and on further inspection the body of the car slightly crumpled. her car however was completely stuffed. When she got out of her car she said “i can’t believe you stopped.” I felt like saying “i can’t believe you hit me!”, but i didn’t want to aggravate the situation. After looking at the damage on each of our cars we swapped information and now I’m trying to contact her because i can’t file the claim with RACV properly until she files one.

There is an estimated damage bill of $1700 to my car, which is more than the car it worth, but this may help in convincing my parents that I need a new car.

The End…?

Building 94

It has been four days into the holidays and I have done some serious thinking about starting my study for the exams in November. I will actually be doing some english tomorrow but its so hard to get started when there is so much happening outside. Today I headed to the city to hand in some forms to RMIT for my subject choices next year. I had to go to building 94 which took me ages to find. I went to the information center and the gave me the address but didn’t tell me where it actually was, so I went to one of those Melbourne information centers and found out the building was like two streets away from where I was originally. So off to the creative media building (AKA building 94) I went , handed my forms to the women who looked like she was 12 years old and who was also under her desk on the phone for some reason. Once that was over, off I went back to Melbourne Central for lunch and the fun train ride home.

In money and wish i had more of it related topics, me and my Dad have been looking at a new, secondhand car for me as mine can’t be trusted to get you to where you want to go… alive! We’ve been looking at a Holden station wagon. (Very fancy). I want a car with allot of space in the back for anything that i might need to put in there and in the event that I do crash i want it to be cheaper to fix instead of just buying a new car.

Anyway I have to go to the city again on Friday to hand in another form to the VCA and I am also going to see a movie with some mates.

My Day In The City

Kong felt he wasn’t mentioned enough in my blog so I am now going to write about my day in the city with Kong.

There isn’t much to tell really. We went around the city looking at things that no one can afford and then went home. However we did go to the Exhibition Centre to go to one of those things where they sell crap CDs and DVDs for $5. There was nothing good but I did buy a pair of shoes for $10. We also had a look at some Art and had lunch.

The End

Back to School

I have one more day of Holidays left until the dreaded year 12, my final year, of school begins. This being my last year of school at Haileybury means it will be the last time for everything. The last School play, The last school musical, the last first day back, The last second day back and so on…. Last last day of holidays. This year is also the year that I have to make a speech in Assembly as Drama captain which should be fun.

Over the past week I’ve been doing some work on the school work I was set at the end of last year. I have finished the first draft of the lighting design of Act 1 for the play. I also ventured out to the golf course next door to get some information about it for a school project and I’m about to go and take some photos of Clarabel before i have to return her to Mr. Bowler. and hope that he won’t be pissed off. Its hard to tell how he will react to things.
