Hello blog-o-sphere! Hope you’ve all been well :). I’ve just returned from a week relaxing up at the sunny Gold Coast!
Took so many photos using the RAW setting that my hard drive has overloaded and have a number of food posts in the works however, having less than a week to start my pre-readings I’m afraid things will have to wait around these parts until I catch myself up on real life. I’ve also decided to give up this blog for Lent (along with a full fast once a week) so I pretty much won’t be back until after 1 April 2012!
Q: Are you giving up anything for Lent?

Oh, you’ll be tutoring this semester?! Same here. :-) I won’t start just yet this week though. I’ll start next week.. Well, I do hope that your knees didn’t go red on your first tutorial session. I know they didn’t .. :-)
Well, your number 4 is amazing. I only went up to Uluru once. On foot.
It was a real last minute out of the blue job, but it should be good :). I don’t think my knees went red but I still felt out of my depth lol.
Going up Uluru on foot would be pretty amazing! Definitely more of a sense of accomplishment I imagine :).
Great! That means you weren’t nervous. I’m happy for ya! :-) Which university are you tutoring at? And the major?
Oh it’s private tutoring and it’s just for scholarship testing in English :).
Still, good thing! I know how it feels when you are happy in doing something, ina accomplishing something, but no one cares. I’m sure there are lots of others in real life who have cared about you tutoring in English, but I just would like to extend my supports in the virtual world here.. Once again, congratz! :-)
Thank you for the award!! Also, I first thought you wrote “I flew a helicopter into Uluru once” and almost had a heart attack.
You are most welcome :). Hehe your comment made me roll over in laughter… that would be something to mention if that ever happened (touch wood)!
Oooo.. a holiday! I want one too :)
I’d like another week but alas, uni tomorrow >.<
Have a good time away, Ames! I still haven’t decided what I’m giving up for Lent, to be honest. Definitely something I have to pray about. Btw, congrats on the award and will get in touch with you about catching up soon!!! =)
Oh I was back already when I wrote this post… back to uni for me now :D. Yep, let me know! Are you working now?
Thanks for nominating! I will do this on my blog in the next week or so :)
So sad that you’re giving up blogging for a while though – I’m dying to read all about your GC adventures. Can’t wait until you return :)
Totally welcome :). I’m looking forward to writing up to GC adventures – thanks for your enthusiasm! Will keep following your blog in the mean time :).
