Wow, so Christmas has been and gone. Definitely wasn't a white one but was lovely all the same. I had a really nice day. Christmas Eve was touch and go because I had a bit of gastroand was unable to eat but that problem was fixed and I enjoyed the food of Christmas! The kids had a great time with all their new gifts, the major ones being a portable DVD player for Alex, a Nintendo Game Cube for Matthew and a kitchen set for Em. All of which got quite a workout! I got some lovely gifts from mum, dad and Rach plus Pat and the kids gave me much more than I'd anticipated plus her family gave me a lot of money which was very unexpected and I hadn't bought them anything, so I felt bad about that. Am going to sedn thank you cards to them all.
The kids now have a week and a half remaining of winter break and I'm hoping they will fly because being stuck in the house with 3 of them could easily begin to get on my nerves!
The passing of Christmas of course brings me even closer to returning. Over the weekend I went out and bought a new, bigger suitcase that I needed after doing a practise pack with my other one and realised I didn't have enough room. Don't want to start a serious countdown because I'm at a point now where it doesn't feel like I've been here for a year. The more time I spend with Em the more I realise that it's going to be a drastic change not to hold her at least once a day and have a conversation with her. Plus knowing she might not remember me is a hard one to deal with.
Mum and dad got a letter from RMIT saying that if I got accepted and didn't complete units 1 and 2 of math then I'd have to do a bridging course during my first year, am taking that as a possibility of being accepted. Could just be wishful thinking.
Apart from that not much else to report on. It's cold enough for snow but am hoping it doesn't occur as I don't fancy another dumping of it. No plans for New Years yet, need to call Sarah and ask if she wants to go to a house party at some super rich house near Kellie's. So if you read this Sarah and I haven't called give me a buzz!!
Hope everyone else had a great Christmas.
