Happy (very) belated New Year!
Hey every1, hope every1 had a great Christmas and that you have a blessed New Year. I know i know, its been awhile since i last posted in here, so hope ya'll havent stopped coming by to check :P The other day i went to update i had just finished and was about to hit publish......and then the comp froze. grr. Ah well, just one of those things. Anyway i've been up to quite a bit lately so i'll catch ya up....YBC
YBC (youth bible conference) was great =) lotsa good times had by all. Good talks too by Peter & Hamish, they made some challenging points. Loved the place it was at (Clark's beach) even if the beach isnt the greatest, but the faciliites more than make up for that. Was cool meetin some new ppl and also catchin up with other ppl that had come up from the South Isld for it. Got my films developed last week so will have to try and get some of them scanned and put them on the YBC discussion site...speaking of which, i just fixed the link i have to it.
The week after
The week after YBC was cool, some of the ones up from the Sth were stayin on for a few days so we went places with them. Bowling, mini-golfing, swimming, the beach etc. And also had lots of games of good ol' Mafia as well as Catchphrase and Cranium at times =)
The saga that was my exam results....
Well as some of u may have already heard, it took awhile for mine (and my brother's) exam results to turn up in the mail. They were supposed to arrive over Mon/Tues but yeah our road and this other one nearby didnt get any. So we got onto the post office on the Tuesday but the lady didnt seem to care too much, so we then rang NZQA in Wellington. The guy from there must have given our local post office a blast (they pay them a lot of $ to get them out on time everywhere) because the next morning we had a call from the P.O. to say they'd (suddenly) found the missing bag which had 60 results in it. So yeah ended up gettin them in the mail Wed morning. And i'm pleased to say i've passed my NCEA level 3 and got what I needed to get into a BA at Auckland Uni =) At the moment i'm just tryin to sort out my timetable and have everything ready so i can enrol straight away which should hopefully be sometime next week. Some of it seems a bit overwhelming sometimes, sorting out when different lectures are, for different papers, and then there's tutorials....and so it goes on.....
Another bonus....
Today i (finally) went to sit my restricted and passed =) Did it in a manual. The guy only got me to do a 3 pt turn and then I just had to drive around and that was it :) So thats cool...hehe so weird driving by yourself for the first time tho! but i'm sure i'll get used to it. My bro is real happy b/c now he can actually start learning to drive (he's had his Learners for a year...but had to wait till i got my R b4 he could start learning...hehehe)
From tomorrow i'll be on holiday with my family up in sunny Northland =) yay. We're spending a couple nites in Warkworth then heading up to Russell/Waitangi/Bay of Islands way and hopefully one of the days we'll be goin right up to Cape Reinga. That'll be cool, none of us have ever been quite that far b4. I come back on the 24th (will miss gettin to see off Christy at the airport :/ ) so i can do some trainin on the Tues/Wed for my music teaching job thingy, and then i'll be off to Parachute on Thurs nite. But i'll try update when i come back from holiday.
