Sian's World.... blog vol. 1

Hi Hi...

Sian's world has been a busy place lately.. so sorry about not having written for a LONG time...

Honours is going well been pretty busy but good... waiting for my first semester results... hold thumbs!!! Can you believe its more than half way through the year!! its insane... this year is flying!!!

Anywho... been applying for masters... applying at a few places.. more holding thumbs PLEASE - that's a biggie... and the final stretch to be a shrink!!! Problem is they only choose about 5 - 9 people each year at each university and have about 400 odd applicants.. first round is paper selection, writing essays etc... if they like that you get invited for the first round of interviews, then group interviews and then a panel interview... each time they cut the numbers down... EEEECCCKKKK!!! If I make it through all of that its 2 academic years (2nd year is a thesis) and then a year of intern and a year of community service... only 4 years to go... and then Iv had more than enough for a while!!! 10 years later!!! hehehe...

Other than graft, I am volunteering here and there - getting a bit of experience in the field... counselling etc... pretty cool... I JUST WANNA BE A SHRINKIE!!! baby steps... We are gonna start working at a shelter for girls, most of which were sold into the sex and drug trade by their folks. But are now out of all of that and staying in this shelter, going to school and getting looked after a bit better... really sad to hear of such huge abuse!!! but will be interesting work and hopefully will be beneficial to the girls - even if just slightly!! they also have a baby drop off, where moms that don't want their babies can put them into a baby drop (whole in a wall) and the babies are picked up on the other side... not sure how often this happens... Don't think too often although it's quite sad!!

On a lighter side!!

so what is ur news??? tell me tell me!!!

Steve is fantastic... He is absolutely devine... mwah!!! He made this blog for me.. pretty cool!!! so every now and then just have a little look here and you can be updated on Sian's world... how cool... coz I know u all want to!!! I also think you can maybe register it to your email, then each time a post is uploaded you will get an email... Steve is that right?? and how do u do that??? (check for Steve's reply)!!! Probably be on in about an hour... hehe... such an Internet junkie!!!

Trying to get down to South Coast in the next 2 weeks... whoop whoop... even though I missed the anniversary of the tearing of my ligaments at the Mr Price Pro - hope there was a moment and a little tear for me... hehe.. and I'm missing the Durban July.. Will be awesome to see everyone again... not sure I'm gonna recognise the place after the floods!! sounds like it was pretty hectic!!!

Have hardly seen anyone.. sorry guys will make it up to you next year!!! hehe!!! but I love you all.. and I miss you all!!!

anyway... will be in touch soon!!!

Lots of love
Siani
