Discovered this in my junk mail folder today and it made me laugh.
"Hello Nice to meet you,
How are you and how is your work?
I hope that all is well with you,
My name is Aisha, I know that you
may be surprise how I get your email,
I got your email today when I was browsing
looking for honest partner, then I feel
to drop this few lines to you and I will
like you to contact me through my
email so that we can know each other
and exchange our pictures, and we may
become partner. Remember that distance
does not matter what matters is the love we share
with each other. I am waiting to hear from you soon."
They do say that distance makes the heart grow fonder...but I don't think I'll be in touch.
Over and out.

A Life Lost
Last night I received a message from a friend telling me (and others) that a former classmate from high school had passed away last week.
I knew this girl who has passed away, but we were never really in the same friendship groups.
The news I've had from people I went to school with are of engagements, marriages and births, but this is the first death of a classmate that I have heard.
The friend who originally sent the message told me that she had killed herself, and today I found out that she had run out in front of a train. It's horrible to think that she thought death was her only option.
The saddest part is that the strongest memory I have of her was from an incident in our final year, where she attempted to overdose on painkillers. That day she had been approaching people, asking if they had any painkillers to give her. She approached me, but I had used up the last on a headache. It wasn't until later that day we discovered why she had been collecting them, when the ambulance approached the school and gossip spread. At that time she was unsuccessful, but to know that she's tried again makes me feel horrible inside.
I have not shed any tears since hearing the news, but I have felt both guilty and sad which is twisting up my insides.

Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2012!
As is such with a New Year, resolutions are to be made. This year, my resolution is to take more holidays as I seldom take advantage of available time. But not this year. I think that was the only one I had made, though I'm sure I will add a few more before the months end.
Also it has been a few months since I last had the time to put together a post. University took up quite a bit of my time, and once that finished Christmas was upon us and the holidays had truly began.
Now that everything has settled down some, I can take a moment to catch back up. I have a few posts that will go into a little more detail about certain events, but until I finish putting them together I will summarise:

Now that everything has settled down some, I can take a moment to catch back up. I have a few posts that will go into a little more detail about certain events, but until I finish putting them together I will summarise:
- I got to see The Queen twice during her visit to Australia in September or October
- I completed the last of my assignments for university in November (though I was dismayed with the efforts on my part, which will turn up on another post)
- I organised and managed to complete getting my End of Year Exhibition together for uni in December
- I successfully passed all my classes for university, all I am waiting for now is my graduation held this coming March
- Christmas eve was spent with my immediate family (minus Miss Drama) and family friends. No arguments and bickering broke my family this year
- Christmas Day, The Boyfriend and I drove to the south coast and celebrated with his family, opting to spend a few days enjoying the beach
- New Years Eve was spent back in Canberra with some friends
- New Years Day involved driving to the coast again as The Boyfriend and I thought our time there earlier was too short
We had arrived back from the coast two nights ago, and I haven't been up to much since. Caught up with some friends yesterday, but now I have dishes sitting and waiting for me to come clean them away. Cleaning is boring work, and unfortunately will not clean itself.
