This is a picture of Liam and I (Henry and Emma). Aren't we cute?!Big news! It would appear that it's already tomorrow, so I suppose I will have to refer to 'today' as yesterday although I have not slept into tomorrow yet.
Anyway, big news! 'Yesterday' (the 25th, just to clarify) it was my half birthday, and guess what I got? An A for my exam. Honours. And a lovely report from my examiner! What a lovely woman. Perhaps I will publish some of her comments later.
BRECCY classes are going very well. I'm starting to get to know the kids and how their minds work. Geoff is enjoying it, too.
I have a cold (which surfaced right after my exam! Yes!) . It's a bit miserable, but it hasn't stopped me having a full-on week! I've been such a social thing this week! I went to two movies within the space of twenty-four hours (Spiderman 3 and Pirates 3).
I turned up to Spiderman on my own, but ended up sitting with Brigid and her friend Brenda, and Rhys and Rachelle. It was like a mini J&H reunion at the cinema. Catching up with Rhys, Rachelle and Ash tomorrow night.
Ben and I went to Pirates on Thursday. It wasn't as good as the first two. I thought the second one was just gold. Third one didn't do as much for me. It was more Elizabeth focused than Jack focused, and there was too much action and not enough comedy towards the end. It did have an entertaining sort of storyline, though, and I didn't get bored at any point. Quite liked Spiderman, but I knew I would. There's something about comic books on big screen that works for me as an escape. It's like Degrassi. Sort of corny, but really sweet and watchable.
After the movie, Ben and I had a cuppa, then ran into Dave, who told us about a new song he's written called The Traffic Light Effect. After that I ushered for Ross Noble at BREC. I thought he was very average. He's had me in fits on TV and on the radio, but the live show didn't do much for me. I saw Sofie there (coz she was working) and she told me Marty was at Fitzie's, so I headed down there after the show and caught up with him. Dave played a solo set, so I got to hear his traffic light song. It was cool - full of assonance on the "I" sound. His poetry is jaw-droppingly awesome. He wants to read some of my stuff. I wonder if I'll have the courage to share anything.
Speaking of poetry etc, stay tuned for my next post about my newest form of writing, which has actually got me writing again!
