There's a First Time For Everything

This month is full of firsts.

small ones, big ones, enormous ones.

Most of them haven't yet totally become apparent.

let's start with the obvious ones...
First time blogging. I don't feel that i haven't blogged because i don't know much about it. And not because i don't agree with it. but rather because i haven't had a need for it. There are two purposes for this blog. the obvious being for the course. the less obvious is for communication with friends. not directly through this blog but at least i'll have the know-how.
First time at Uni. yeah that's not as obvious. i'm not straight out of school. i had a year off for work. which i really liked but i was still very eager to start studying again. i worked full-time in a college. part-time as an after school hours care assistant, and part-time as a "promotions officer" was my created title. practically i did what ever was asked and what i thought of to promote the school.(which involed a lot of add design) the school started as a primary school (in Darwin, meaning there aren't a great number of private schools and they don't differ too much from public. although this one does. i'm not being bias to say that, i really wish this school was around when i was in school.)and this year took on its first year 8's to become a College.
First time in the Gold Coast. this one is quite common. but for someone who has lived almost all of their life in Australia, and had a father in the air force and in those eight years moved around quite a bit, and has been pretty much everywhere else in australia, i feel pretty stupid. i absolutly love it here. love the weather. love some of the people. (we've crossed paths with a few knuckle heads)love the beaches. (this leads on the next first)
First time surfing. ooo yeah. it was great. not going to say much about this. i've only been a few times its not like i'm pro. but hey i really love it.
First time out of home.and away from Darwin where i have spent the last 10 years getting hot and sweaty and dodging crocodiles. (can you believe someone from townsville asked if there are crocs walking the streets. i didn't think he was serious.) am i home sick? oh no of course not i'm not weak...mummy?! its ok though. i have one ups on everyone else. i'm not doing it alone. i've got my fiance with me.
and finally this afternoon will be the
first time in our new house after living in a carvan park for the past 2 months i am glad to leave the funny canvan folk for my own bed (even if it is just an air mattress) and my own shower (yay i don't have to wear the pluggers anymore) and my own backyard. love it!

there's nothing more fun, anxious, nerving, exciting or enjoyable about firsts.
