UNI NO MORE!!!!!
I got the email today from the music course advisor that the dean has approved me to graduate with one class short. I am no longer a uni student!!! Just awaiting confirmation of my grades for this semester, of which I dont forsee too many issues, and then it is over, and I can concentrate on being a real person. Finally.

Quick Update
It's late, and really time for bed, but it's time I put something else up here, (hey Mum...)
It's been busy at school, but life is getting easier. Now it's all about tying up ends, I don't need to be constantly wracking my brain and the net for new ideas for classes. Making worksheets has been hard, but I feel necessary, as I can never find one with the right thing on them. A lot of the worksheets in the department are outdated, or inapropriate for this generation. I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I plan to take it on as a project and get something published.
I ran a test with the year 9's today which went well I feel considering how hard it has been to get the students to focus on learning theory. It's been a long hard semester with the year 9's having to constantly think of songs and find recordings and tabs. At the end of the semester they weren't anywhere near where I wanted them to be, I can see a lot of potential in the course to improve on. That's a good thing, however, in a new teachers course.
The uni assignments are all in, and being marked, and I should get uni grades soon. I am nervous because now I have felt what it is like to fail something. In terms of having to make up the class that I failed, I may not have to. The uni are discussing it at the moment and I may be allowed to graduate because the class that I failed is not a core requirement. I passed all the core classes with good grades, so that should stand me in good stead. Holding my breath and my fingers...

Home
The wedding day is over, the honeymoon is finished, and we are both home to the real world. What a great few weeks Mark and I have had!
The wedding week was horrible! I had so much work to do, and things to plan. I found it hard to pass over the jobs of the wedding to others when I had been planning so much of it for so long, more than 12 months. However my bridesmaids and my mother did such a great job, they got the final details lined up so well. How they dealt with me that week is a feat in itself, Mark included. I was so sure that I would be a great bride, up to then everything had been going so smoothly, and not much changed, but the pressure started getting to me, I wasn't able to put things off to next week anymore.
The night before I was pretty relaxed. At the rehearsal I felt happy that it was finally here, and a little silly going through the last details. The minister was great in taking us all through where we needed to be and what the lines were. It started to dawn on both of us that it was going to be real the next day.
We had dinner as a group after the rehearsal, after which my bridesmaids and helpers went out to the reception venue to set up.
