'99 was indeed a funny year...
Lifes a funny thing..... well maybe not i mean with all this techno stuff advancing day by day i suppose i really shouldnt be at all surprised.
For a while i was engrossed with blog... i think tho it was more the writing side of it that attracted me to the land of blog. dont worry i wouldnt bare my entire soul online im not that daft! Got an actual book for that one :D TEEHEE
Anyways now its fb takin over the world well takin over the social world anyway. And im amazed at who i find there!
My tafe mates .. hadnt spoken to them in i dunno like 8 yrs.. a lot can happen in 8 yrs.
And seriously at the mo its been a stroll down memory lane! '99 was definitely a yr of MANY firsts for me! Yes partly due to you misha aka Joey :P u, stef and luisita bonnita!
I mean when i look back i wonder where id start! I can remember the very first time i stepped on that campus i was freaked out not just by the err weirdos on site but the boys man.. i hadnt had one in my class since 1990! So i went to an all girls school big deal!
And because i am extremely shy... yes i am despite wat some people think.... but anyway because of that fact i remember sitting there in bio (good ol bio with Bob HA!) i was the 'good' student who sat front row was totally attentive and didnt say a word.... that was until i was corrupted by the 4 mentioned above! i then became a back seat rebel... i dont remember how much work i did after that! what i DO remember tho is givin the teacher a hard time... how much of a hard time? i dunno.. Mish wadya reckon?
And there was maths! That was my fave!! Purely cos i was top of the class and loved to rub it in at the time! i think i only skipped one class and my teacher knew and she spoke to me abt it, i was shamed, i never missed another... yes even all your pleas didnt stop me from goin Luisita!
But yes tafe threw me into the thick of things so to speak, there was pool for a start. Once i started there was no stopping.. esp when someone mentioned "2 hrs free pool at the pub" and i was like did i just hear "TWO hrs FREE pool?!?!" at the time it was like heaven... simple things amuse small minds i guess!
And how could i forget the actual location of our humble building? set down in the valley totally surrounded my mechanics, woodwork/ construction boys and graphic designers. Us girls learnt to band together for safety! Lunch hrs were always an interesting affair!
And of course there were the 2 or 3 hr lessons.. yes u read right folks they were longer than uni lectures.... but then thats all ud end up doin in a day just 1 or 2 classes so at the most id only do 4 hrs in a day... a far cry from compulsory schooling. Cant believe i used to leave home 7 in the morning and get back home around 5 or later depending on wat was on that avo.. wat crazy person does that?!
And because tafe is tafe no one seemed to worry too much whether u turned up or not... not even when the class would take a break and well you just never went back to class.. i liked to think of those times as an extended break! :D
There were also those funny excursion which left me wondering what was the point of it all.... the museum one for example, i dont even remember what we did there! And the other one, was it Cross Reserve Mish? i think we looked at dirt, rocks and plants... fascinating stuff that! But youd go there do all ure work in abt an hr and then that was it we'd all bugger off somewhere.. so much for a days outing! Only the return trip made things interesting when u cram at least 6 people in a car and it struggles to drive up a steep hill..
Hmm so these are just 'some' of the memories i have of that *cough* wonderful place.
Do i miss the people? My lil troupe.. definitely!
Do i miss the place? highly doubtful...
Would i do it all over again? i dunno... lifes funny like that some people say theyd never do it again, but then i think well you're pretty much the person you are because of what youve done and whats happened to you. Everyones got a path to follow, sure ive done some crazy stuff and it hasnt been the easiest of journeys at times, i may have thought once or twice if only i hadnt done that or whatever.
But having done all those things i have unknowingly been on a journey that has seen me put faith in my Creator.
Would i change that? No way! Not for all the world...
