Post College!
Well, I just finished my first 4 day week at TAFE (Technical And Further Education)!
In 20wks I will have a Cert III in Tourism - Retail Travel Sales.
I really just want to travel and figure if I work in the industy I can get some kick-butt discounts!
Anyway, I am loving it! It feels great to get up everyday and have an excuse to put on make-up, leave the house and go socialise with people! :D

Second week of college complete! :D Best I do some homework this weekend... I'm settling into a nice little routine... My 14yo son has, under anxious protest, learnt to get himself to school on the two days a week that I start at 8am and leave home before he has risen... I can now get around on the buses (even have my own GoCard which goes "Boop"- so proud :D ), though have learned they will usually be about 15mins late which results in me missing my connections! :roll: :lol:College is definitely helping me get my mojo back after a failed relationship... I'm washing in my dodgy laundry 2 nights a week... One of the other tenants said I could use their machine because the share one apparently hasn't worked for over 2yrs. :? :lol: And my dodgy unit is starting to look like my home! My life is great! :D

Seriously though... I am loving college!

...and there are a lot of happy dogs in my neighbourhood. I meet them every morning while I am waiting for the bus. :)

Oh yeah... And the hospitality students at my college sell cocktails one day a week! ;)

Well, had exams all week and have assignments due next week. So far, so good! :D

Got up to mischief earlier in the week though... ;) My friend and I, and a couple of chefs got into the lift and there was this 3rd young chef in there with a stainless steel box full of plump red tomatoes and carrots, the crowning jewel - the biggest carrot I had ever seen. :o Seriously, my eyes popped :shock: and I couldn't look at the damn thing without becoming a little breathless! It was positively indecent!

I had to comment... "Wow, you have a really big carrot!" Poltical correctness can be so much fun sometimes... :lol: Well the chefs all froze and my friend didn't know where to look, so I told her where, "Look!" So she did, and then she too admitted that it was indeed a big carrot, only she went into damage control and tried to follow it up with some lame story of how it must belong to the white bunny... Nup! :twisted:

Then the lift stopped and another friend hopped in and I called to her and said, "We are just checking out this guys carrot!" and I looked back at the carrot and continued, "That's impressive!" My first friend nearly fell over, the young chef was the same colour as the tomatoes, my second friend was trying to act innocent and you could see the 2 older chefs were itching to have a say. One just simply responded by saying, "I'm not saying anything..." and then we all laughed. :lol: Of course they couldn't say anymore - they were male and teachers... If they had they could have potentially been sued for sexual harrassment. :roll:

Seriously though, what does one expect when one walks around in public with his gigantic carrot uncovered..?

Anyway... It elevated everyones mood for the day. Filthy minded individuals... 8-) All of them! ;)
