I 'Googled' the name of the house we are building with Porter Davis and found all these blogs of people in very similar circumstances to us. I thought 'what a great idea! What a fantastic way to keep a record of our progress.' So here is my attempt. We are a family of 6 building a just-right sized house west of Melbourne. Feel free to travel along with us.

About Me

I'm a woman with many interests but very few skills. I'm committed to trying to make the world a better place and one that we can share peacefully. I want people to be respectful thinkers. I have a husband but I don't think that defines me. I also have kids who I love dearly and am so proud of. We have a dog.

System Design

I have just submitted my final assignment for FIT2001 - System Analysis and Design. I enjoyed designing the user interface for my system - God knows whether I am on the right track or not, but seeing as this is my first time I can only hope. It was fun anyway, and really I am a bit beyond worrying about marks.

I still struggle a bit with class relationships etc. and I know there's probably a lot I have missed, but I am really glad to be done with it.

I submitted my last assignment for my other unit on Friday so all that's left now is study for exams. Once again, I'll panic about that for a while and see what I can absorb over the next few weeks.

On another note, I have just reached 30 weeks of pregnancy, which is the magic number where I can finally start 'counting down' to B-day! This poor little person doesn't even have a room yet, so hopefully in a couple of weeks I can concentrate on preparing for that event.

My so-called 'friend' dobbed me in to hosting a Tupperware party this week. Honestly, I am definitely NOT the party plan person so I am looking forward to that like I would a dental extraction (minus the laughing gas). However, having these assignments done means I can get my house into some sort of respectable order before people from the outside world come in and see what a hovel I have been residing in lately. I might even feed the kids something decent for a change....

I know my posts haven't been very relevant to my study, but I am not one who can easily put into words what I have learned and what I understand - maybe I'll improve on that one day. All I can say is that I have learned a lot this semester, and most of that can be contributed to the effort that the unit lecturer, Peter has put in. Thanks POD!

I have been called away to help put the Barbie furniture together - important stuff, I must go.

Nearly there....

My two assignments have been returned and it is with great relief that I announce passes in both! I am very happy with my marks - my mind has been on quite a few other things this semester and I feel proud to have achieved satisfactory results. I now have two more assignments to submit, but I am feeling slightly more relaxed.

Ta da!

Woo hoo! Two down, two to go! I have just submitted my second assignment for the semester, my first for my Systems Analysis and Design unit. I have not yet received any marks for my first assignment so I really have absolutely no idea how I'm travelling. To be honest, at the moment I really don't care. My thoughts now are concentrated on how I'm going to get two more assignments done in the next three weeks without really having read any of the notes.

My brain has gone on holidays. It's a little early, I know, and I am really not sure when to expect it back. I hope it is soon.

I am looking around my house and I can't see a clean bit anywhere. At least there's no bad smells.....yet. (Or maybe I have become immune.)

I cannot think of anything else to say. I have sat here for five minutes and drawn a complete blank. I think I will go to bed, take the night off. Sure, that leaves only two weeks and six days but, really, how difficult can it be? No worries, not a problem. She'll be right mate. I shall be in touch...
