I went to the clipsal, very fun, lots of cool fast cars, motor bikes, and APCs. Plus, Powderfinger and Kisschasy, which made the day AWESOME!!!! It was an AMAZING concert! And, as per tradition, I'll put a couple of their music clips at the bottom of this blog.
Uni is back, I'm studying hard, already have a lot of work piled up which I hope to finally get to today (as I have a day off! HooraY!) Been working a lot this week because of Easter, but I'm thinking of the money! :-P
SO! Why have all my birthdays come at once??? First!!! I was invited to become a member of the Golden Key International Honours Society! Only the top 15% of 377 specially selected universities worldwide are invited to join, as a sign of their academic achievement. What does that mean? It means I can apply for really cool scholarships when i want to go on exchange overseas. It means I will look really nerdy and brainy on my resume. It means I have connections with thousands of other brainy people worldwide. And it means I can (if I want) go to fancy society gatherings. I was stoked! It is so good to be recognised for all my hard work. If you are really bored and want to check out more, you can go to their website: www.goldenkey.org/GKIHSAnd secondly!!! You may remember my blog, Mr Stephenson. Well! Robert Stephenson rang me up a couple of days ago because he wants to represent me!!! He said he doesn't usually take on a book that needs as much work as mine, but he has a good feeling about it and "any excuse to work with a pretty girl." Lol, I hope that part was a joke! He hopes it will be ready for submission to publishers by mid February next year, and he is really understanding of my university study. I was so overwhelmed on the phone that I had tears coming to my eyes (and this is in the middle of the library at uni). I have wanted this my whole life, I've been telling stories since I could talk and writing them since I could write, and the one thing I've constantly dreamed of is becoming a published author. I've been writing novels for 8 years, and now my dream is finally coming into focus. It may be another 5 years until I'm published, but now I have an agent and now I have a chance.
I will keep you updated on my progress! Wish me luck in the editing process, it will be grueling!
This is Powderfinger, Lost and Running, from their new album. I love this song!
This is Kisschasy, Opinions Won't Keep You Warm At Night. I'm sure you'll all find the music video hilarious! :-P

I can just see your delight and want to wish all the special success that goes with hard work. Remain alert, won't you? And seek wise advice from dad.
