WOOWOO!

WOOWOO!
Got a HD for CSCI124! (C++ programming subject)
Didn't think i'd manage it for that one, thought if lucky i'd get a Distinctions, but just made it to the HD.
Soon i start STAT131 not looking forward to that.

In other news. Livy finally got thru her solo modern dance without forgetting it. 2 previous times she danced it (sutherland eisteddfod and a showcase) she forgot the dance partway thru and add libbed it instead.
Yesterday, Wollongong Eisteddfod. She got thru it without forgetting and got a "highly commended" for it.
Also did her solo jazz dance for the first time (to 'uptown girl') and got a highly commended for that too, tho i felt it was rather good and deserved a place even. (full credit to those who got places, but not sure if gender encouragement may have played a role - ie the two boys, while good enough, didnt quite seem to have deserved to win) - but anyway, matters not at all cos the main thing was she got thru it and did well!!!
:-)

And pete and nerida are having a boy! A little mate for mikey.

And i need to design a cubby house to build in the backyard when we put in a retaining wall and flatten the top part of the yard. Mmm buildy stuff.

Saw Xmen III. good stuff.

Thanks to pizza hut, pete and koren have BF2, alas neither of their computers will run it. Pete has just gone out and bought a new 7900GTX video card, the bastard, and an Asus A8N Premium, AMD 3700+ and 2 Gb Ram to run it. Got it all home and realised he didnt have a good enough power supply for it all (340w and 20pin not 24) so a delay there, but i think he got it all sorted yesterday.

Koren is pricing parts for a new computer and Frog also got a new AGP video card - shame he's not able to build a new one and go PCI express but at least he's able to get some later stuff running now - tho now he's having monitor issues.

Me and the Fam drove to Berrima for the hell of it on Sunday. Nice.
Very Very Enjoyable.
Need to do stuff like this more often.
Tho next time, while yummy, refrain from blowing the budget in the lolly shop. Tho we DID get peanut butter M&M's, and Reeses Peanut butter cups, which was quite the hit with Kristina.
