Who, me?

Big news everybody!

1. I got my hair cut (see picture). I had to because it was so badly damaged. I hated it at first (see picture), but it's growing on me. Ha ha, very funny Kate.

2. I got my exam result yesterday for 7th grade AMEB Speech and Performance Theory! It's been almost a two month wait. It was the most stressful exam I've ever done because I hate restoration drama and I spent ages fretting over it. I felt the exam went well, so I guessed I would probably pass it, but not with any 'flying colours' as they say. I ended up getting the best mark I've ever got for an exam! Karen rang me and said "You'll need to be sitting down for this!"

Ninety-six percent. My face was like the first picture (see above)! I can still hardly believe it. I got 24/25 for essays where I just made up stuff about plays I hadn't even read! (I probably shouldn't be telling you that!) And I got full marks for my phonetics. I knew the first two questions were good, but I thought the other ones were very average. I must've had a nice marker.

3. Tomorrow I'll be seeing my 5th play in 8 days! Not bad eh? Oliver! (one of my best friends played Bill Sykes and was brilliant), Educating Rita (on tour at BREC, very enjoyable), The Return (which I saw tonight and was fabulous, kudos to Sharon and the cast - and the set, which I reckon deserves it's own applause!) and tomorrow I'm seeing Dimboola! Saw Darren Hanlon and Sarah Blasko last night too. Awesome stuff. Darren's stuff is so nice and catchy and Sarah is so fascinating to watch perform.

4. Ohhh I can't believe I've left this til number 4! I've been accepted into the South West Young Achievers' Program, which is a three day live-in program with heaps of motivations and skill enhancing seminars for jestsetting young enterprisers such as myself... or at least maybe I will be after the program. I went to the meet and greet sesh last night which was pretty cool. Apparently it's been quite a life changing experience for some people. It's on Thursday Friday Saturday next week, finishing in a big dinner that we can invite people to. I invited my parents. I couldn't think of anyone else who would want to pay $55 to go to a young achievers' dinner. So if you want me on those days, I won't be available (except on my mobile at night, probably.) I'll tell you all about it when I get home.

Right now I'm feeling very reflective. I'm going to write.
