I spent a couple of days in Melbourne over the weekend. Mainly it was to catch up with friends and see the cast of Glee but a friend of a friend invited us to go through the Victorian Space Science Education Center. Which is awesome. Seriously, i've never wanted to be a science teacher so much in my life ( Read more... )

I am having an awesome week... I mean yeah on some things my timing totally sucks but really right now my life is fantastic! Assignments are done, i'm on a break so i'm giving myself another week off before I start the next lot, i'm listening to music, catching up on movies and getting some actual relaxation time and doing a lot of thinking about ( Read more... )

Have two papers due this week. The one due on Thursday is done except for all the creative arts stuff that I have to intersperse into it.

Next semesters history Study Guide has come up on the uni website. I've never really done anything on history of the second half of the 20th century so I wasn't sure hat i'd be in for. The good news is it's awesome. There's a bunch of stuff i've never studied but know a bit about (The Third World, Communist China, Economics of the 80's) but i've ( Read more... )

About dying langauges and the words being lost because of their loss. It's something i've been reading more about recently because of my studies in indigenous education. It's a part of this semesters work that i've really enjoyed and found interesting and i'm looking forward to doing more on inclusive education (I think in 3rd year ( Read more... )

I got to see the preview of Glee last weekend and I have a feeling when it starts properly it's totally going to be my new favourite series. Glee is about a really bad glee club at an Ohio high school. It's written by Ryan Murphy who also wrote Popular which is still one of my favourite high school series ever.
