Well Ben got me thinking about Christmas and how close it is. There's only one more week and a bit! Gosh, I really don't know where this whole year has gone. I don't really feel like I've done anything significant this year. When I think back, I can't recall anything that I feel I have accomplished. Last year there were a lot of things that I was proud of and a lot of special memories that I took away with me from that year. I guess this year, the most significant memory for me was when my daddy come home for good. Oh and joining Flare... that was definitely a significant memory too. Taking up dancing again made me really happy this year. It kept me going through a lot of things that weren't so good. Hrmm... what else... oh, spending more time with the glenny guys at uni and going away to the Grampians. Going to everyone's 21st and meeting up with people from highschool that I haven't seen in ages. Getting to know people that I never really spoke to before. Having a fantastic Primary school placement in first semester. That was an amazing experience which inspired me to do Primary teaching when I graduate. Ok, so maybe there are a lot of things that have happened this year. hehe. I just haven't really sat down and thought about it until now. Another thing that's happened just recently is getting a job and meeting the wonderful staff there.

But there were still a few things I was suppose to do this year that I didn't achieve. The few things on my list for this year were:

- get a job at the start of the year
- get my P's (that's been on my list for the past 3 years! haha but i seriously wanted to achieve that... i guess it'll have to wait till next year)
- do really well on assignments and exams (some were good, some were not so good)
- get a new hairstyle (wanting to change my hairstyle... but was afraid it might not turn out the way i want it to)
- cook more dinners for the family (didn't organise my time properly enough for this to happen)

Its not a long list... but I really wanted to do all of the above this year. You could say it was my 2005 year resolutions. Oh wellz... there's always next year! hehe

Ok, so what do I have planned before the new year arrives? Well, I'll be working a lot. Working everynite next week which is why I need comfortable shoes. I've been looking for shoes all year... haha... that's how picky I am. But the thing is, everytime I find a pair that I really really like... they either don't have my size, don't have the colour I want or they're sold out! Great. Just great huh? So i thought I would try my luck again yesterday (coz I havent been shopping in a while) and yes, it happened to me again. I found the shoes I wanted AND they were quite cheap but no, they didn't have my size. grrrrrr... so frustrating! See, so its not my fault that I dont buy anything when we shop! Well, I'm attempting to go shoe shopping again today. At Chaddy this time. I haven't been to chaddy in AGES! Can't even remember the last time I went. Bet its gonna be really really crowded... like it always is... and especially now coz its the christmas season.

Did you know that Coles have new bags? They're those really tough plastic bags that are really good for heavy things. And on the front of the bag it says "I'm made to last so please reuse me next time you shop at Coles or Bilo". haha. If only everything else was 'made to last'! haha...
