It has been a really busy week.

Tuesday was my brothers graduation mass at St. Anthony's church. I hadn't been there for so long but the community spirit was really strong and it was a very melancholy event because my brother was graduating from primary school. It was lovely to see my yr6 teacher again, the deputy principal who is simply wonderful, the new principal and the new father. My brother got an award for mathematics =]

The following morning i woke up at 6am to visit the board of studies website and check my HSC results. They barely give you any warning, you enter your pin and they take you to your results right away! I was quite pleased, very pleased indeed. Later i met up with Sujee and we shopped for clothes before she went to work.

I couldnt sleep all of wednesday night and in the morning i checked my UAI. Suffice to say i was a little dissappointed but without reason to be. I got what i had prayed for almost. I got over it. Im very happy with my UAI. Its a great UAI, and im very happy with it. And my name is in the honour role =D Anyway the BBQ was fun. I realised it is probably one of the last times i will see so many Class of '07 Girra's for quite some time. Nonetheless we all did so well. And it was so lovely to see all the teachers again.

This morning, mum and i attended the end of year thanksgiving mass as St. Anthony's church. Once again i wanted to cry the whole way through. It is so warm and nostalgic, with such wonderful teachers and students, and a wonderful place to grow up. And it confirms again, the fact that wonderful things do happen, and God is always there.

Just a word about a wonderful teacher from primary school, his name is Mr. Byrnes and he is not doing so well. He had an operation about a week ago and is going in for another one today. He is a really good person so my prayers are with him. Same with Malenta [bad spelling] and her family who passed away last week in a car accident. She went to St. Anthony's 12 years ago and she taught one of the teachers a dance, which the students performed in her memory. We all have something to be thankful for, so be thankful.

It is true, when you teach someone something, they will always remember you.

Hope you are all happy with your marks, and remember that there are always options and there's a reason for everything.
