Well 2007 has finally ended and what a year it has been. It amazes me just how fast 2007 went, it seems like it was only yesterday that I was recapping 2006. So here’s what happened in my life in 2007.

• Turned 18 (probably the biggest thing to happen)
• Subsequently went to Crown and a great time was had by all (you all know the story)
• Got my license (again a very big thing)
• Began, and successfully completed Year 12
• Graduated from Haileybury.
• Went to the Year 12 Formal
• My Great Grandmother passed away
• Had a fantastic year as a School Prefect and Vice Captain of Editorial
• Bought an iPod (who’d of thought!)
• Also bought a GPS (yeah I know it was only a couple of days ago but it was a highlight of 2007)
• Went to the Boxing Day Test
• Drastically improved this blog by getting a domain name, a host and moving it to the Wordpress platform
• Went to Sydney to visit my brother and see the city (twice)
• Went down to Phillip Island for ’schoolies’
• Saw the school play ‘Inheritance’
• Saw the school musical ‘Fame’
• Saw the Castlefield musical “A High School Musical” (Luke also went to see it as he “received” tickets for his birthday)
• Applied for University, and received my VCE results.

So that’s 2007 in review, I wish everyone a happy new year and I look forward to recapping what I hope will be a wonderful 2008.

I just got back before from Essendon Vs Richmond which was an interesting game. Despite it being Kevin Sheedy’s last game in Melbourne Essendon just couldn’t get there act together and were defeated by the mighty tigers. At the end they had a bit of a fireworks diplay and a movie about James Hird and Kevin Sheedy. I then had to brave Melbourne’s fantastic public transport system which ended up getting me home safe and sound (albeit a little late)

Now onto my past week, last Friday I had the University transistion day which was pretty much useless, as usual Connex made this day more difficult than it needed to be with trains being cancelled between Caulfield and Springvale, so I had to rely on a public bus to get me home. Friday was my second visit to the University of Melbourne in the past week with me also going there last Sunday for their Open Day. The open day was pretty good and I got some good info about the Uni and its courses.

Tomorrow will be a big day with the  careers expo which is the final event of all my careers and uni orientated events. I have approximately a month to put in my application and then its just sitting and waiting for an offer.

Overall I have found the last month to be a very academic orientated one, which unfortunately wont change for the next few months at least.

Well Christmas is over for another year. I was fairly pleased with what I got. Anyway to recap my week, well I went to the Boxing Day Test (Cause I’m an MCC member), and also went to day 2. Then Yesterday spent most of the day doing nothing and then today did nothing again except have a swim. Also Yesterday the guys from Melbourne Water came out to fix the sewerage pipe on our road, cause apparently tree roots had grown into it so that was a rather disgusting visit. In my week ahead I will be going fishing on Port Phillip Bay, going down to the Mornington Peninsula to visit my Grandmother, and possibly up to our house at Gembrook to ride motorbikes etc.

The end of Term is fast approaching, with only one more week before exams. Unfortunately I have an exam on every day, with some days having two exams. This morning I had to get up early to go to school and take photos of Middle School Touch, which has to be the stupidest sport (right up there with Triathlon) that Haileybury ‘offers’. After I finished I went and had lunch in Caulfield, before heading home.

This coming week should prove to be exciting, with an Aerobics Championship Assembly on Tuesday, followed by morning tea in the Barney Allen center for those involved in the Tattoo (for six nights), and Mr. Bell told me on Thursday that I would be receiving Drama colours this week for my Tattoo services as well. Also on Tuesday I have to go to some Water Polo event during lunch and take photos.

On a completely different note, I got a letter from the MCC (Those guys love sending me pointless mail) telling me that I can go to the Grand Final because Im both a member of the MCC and VRC which have reciprocal rights with each other, and I can bring one ‘guest’, so thats bound to make my school holidays exciting, now I just hope that a Victorian team gets into the Grand Final.
