The Girl with the Goalden Boot

Been busy studying, so haven't been online much. In fact, I didn't go online at all yesterday.

I've finally finished studying all the topics and am onto doing practice questions. Chemistry, surprisingly, is my strongest area. (psst...I only got 58 in my first year chem class!)

I was presented with my musicianship diploma at the AMEB presentation ceremony on Sunday, all my music teachers were there. Mrs. Silcock and Mrs. Phillips go every year, because they're senior examiners. But Ms. Pan came along too, and it was lovely to see her again. Mrs. Phillips was presented with a shield for being an AMEB examiner for 25 years, so congrats to her! :)

I'm finally up to season nine of XF. (I cried so much watching season eight...I know, I'm hopeless! But imagine being Scully: pregnant, searching for the father of your unborn child, who is feared dead, and who is the person you've spent/shared more time with in the past 8 years than anyone else...) I've been watching the entire series in order since last November (1 or 2 episodes per night), and I'm finally seeing the connections and understanding the mythology a little bit more. I watched a documentary on the SBS a few nights ago, it was a BBC investigation into the 1984 Union Carbide chemical plant disaster in Bhopal, India. Only now did I realise that's where the idea for Badlaa came from. This week's documentary in the same timeslot will be something called "UFOs and the Cold War", I guess it's a must-watch thing for an X-phile. Hee.

Wendy posted a pic several days ago of Gillian in Uganda. If I never become a doctor or a "real" scientist, I think I may consider being a music teacher, or even a science teacher, in a school like AJS. But first things first. I wish I had a credit card so I could make a donation. I feel so ashamed that I haven't done so yet. :| And then I'd like to bid for one of those Doodle Day drawings. *sigh* If only I had real job and sufficient income to get a credit card...

My Coke/Pepsi ban is going well. I haven't had a sip of soda since before Ash Wednesday.
