oh, I think I have a preview of the premium service…  means I can do things like this….but anyway….

things have been so very busy lately.  When I got back from Japan my work told be I would be getting 1 or 2 shifts a week, and well, I got 2 shifts one week, then 3 the next and then 4 last week and 4 this week…..  I can deal with 3, but 4 is just toooooo much for me with university.  I really have to do well this semester!  I cannot fail!  So I asked them to cut me back and was basically told, if you want to cut back you will have to quit.  so, I did.  and frankly it felt very very good. 

I was not happy there, and it was causing me much more stress than what it was worth.  I know things are going to be difficult for a while, but I think its for the best.  And its only 10 weeks or so til uni finishes, and then I can go out and work whenever.

But as it goes, I’ve already applied for another job at the airport, and I have good hopes for that one.  Plus I have already emphasised how important it is for me to focus on uni.

On other things, this last week has been Japan Week, so my mother and I went to the main event – a free concert of Gagaku music – traditional court music.  This style of music is about 1000 years old, and hasnt really changed.  You can tell straight away its from another culture!  Very very different.  Its that kinda high pitched musics that sound like a cat…  I cant say I loved it, but it was an interesting evening.  There was about 13 instruments on stage, flutes, pipes, harmonicas, strings and drums.  All of them did sound nice individually, but together they play them too high pitch for my likings.

My favourite instrument was the Sho`, which is like a harmonica in sound, but looks very very different! thats it on the right there.

hmmm, there was something else that I wanted to talk about but I cant quite remember….

Oh yeah, I’ve been offered the position of Albany Creek Lions Club Miss Personality entrant.  Means I’ll be doing some fund raising etc, until next July.  Mum keeps giving me crap about it.  I think it will be good for my CV….

No more taking on stuff until something finishes!  have to stop spreading myself thin….
