Fires And Memories Lost

So I had a fairly good day today, despite it being a monday. However, despite me being in a good mood, I was watching the news this morning and the footage from the recent Victorian bushfires is horrific, it is simply incomprehensible the horror that every person involved in this tragedy must have gone through and of course is still going through. The deaths and damage exceed both Ash Wednesday and Black Friday, perhaps they will name this event something so soft and human that it takes the horror out of the event as much as 'Ash Wednesday' now sees like a lifeless event. The news showed random interviews with some people, I have know idea how they were able to hold themselves together enough to make it through an interview. They reported that Marys was completely gone that whole beautiful, historic town completely gone, damage perhaps even too much for repair. There was another couple, a grandmother and grandfather that had there grandkids staying with them. they had managed to get out but the kids hadn't. You just can't imagine what these people are going through. I, some one who has Grandparents in Victoria but is otherwise unaffected by what is happening, feel sorry, no I can't even explain how I feel about the horrific destruction. I struggle to even connected to these people because I simply can't comprehend what it would be like.
The scariest thing is that some of the fires where lit deliberitly, is wasn't even a natural disaster....

Umm where do I start.
Ok, I'm not too sure what excatly you are supposed to write about in these blog entries, so I'm just gonna write about anything I have recently found interesting or exciting.
Ok here we go...
Last week on friday night I was playing netball, and to cut a long story short I stacked it coming down from a rebound and injured my knee. Anyway as I was sitting at home being extremely bored (although kids do enjoy the occasional day off to watch telly and relax, after a week the novelty wears off) so there I was rather sick of doing homework and watching telly, a post arrived and I wondered out to see if there was anything interesting and surprisingly enough there was. A few weeks ago at school myself and a couple of friends had spotted a poster on an exchange program called EF (education first) so as this has highen my interest I had sent away for more information on it. Which had this day finally arrived, so I began to read though the information and then had a look at the website. Wow, some of the stories I read sounded incrediable and so interesting. Getting away from your home town, living in a different country with different surrounds and customs sounds amazing and I once in a lifetime experience, so I am now considering doin it during my gap year. At the moment I am tossing up between America (not really the steriotypical american places maybe the southern regions haha blues country) or Costa Rico which starts school early in the morning but finishes early to go to the beach and surf I hope. Anyway if anyone has done an exchange progam before and has any reccomendations or has travelled anywhere and recommends any place in particular please let me know. Thanks.

Days Off School
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Umm well today I went to school after being sick all of yesterday, and having the day off. To be honest I went to school because I had double phys ed for the first two periods of school, we're playing floor ball at the moment..interesting game you should check it out. Well anyway, I didn't exactly feel great after those two hours of sport, surprise, surpirse..So I asked mum picked me up and take me home. Anyway, as I was sitting at home feeling sorry for myself, I was also thinking about student sterio types and students privacy really.
Yes a rather interesting topic I might add. I came to this train of thought when I was sitting in the school office waiting for my mum to pick me up. I sat down and then a few mintues later a teacher called MOTT came in weasing, she had walked pass a hall were deodrant had been sprayed and was therefore having a semi asthma attack. Now to be perfectly honest I don't have a high opinion of her, she is our schools music teacher and a teacher who seems to have a vendeter against 'populars', which for some unknown reason is a group I seem to be part of. So anyway, she walks in and starts talking to one of the schools administors. As the convosation continues, I do start to feel a little sorry for her, she is restricted to were she can walk in the school because of kids who are using aerisol cans but then she asks the question 'can we do strip searches on students, to see if they are hiding these cans?'
ok now that questions begs for answer. How far can teachers go?
Ok so I don't think to highly of her so my opinion is a little bias, but the right for teachers to be able to just look through students bags just seem wrong...

Well. it's a monday. doesn't a week in your life sometimes seem to change an awful lot. A week ago I was well I wasn't in love but I was happy again. Now I sit here wondering how time has such a power over us, why does it change so much. Time can change how we control our anger, actually it changes most of our emotions really doesnt it?
I love my life, Im one of those people who tends to be preety happy in their own skin. Some how I always seem to be the one who cares to much, I over think everthing.
Well what have I learnt today, that nothing is as good as it seems. Under the shiny exterior everyone has rust and rot.
