the latest goss....
Published October 18, 2007 by Sim inwell, nearly a month without a post! That's a bit slack...sorry about that.
However, as usual - we're run off our feet!
Carols by Candlelight:
Some of you may not be aware that Bek and I are on the Production Team for the Wyndham Carols by Candlelight this year! There are 5 people that make up the team - and a few more in the Logistics side of things working under/with Karen (bek's mum) who heads up the whole lot!
Not that i'm biased or anything  :)  but this year should be really, really good! Lots of things set up to specifically give families/kids a great afternoon and evening!
So: When, what, where, how?
The carols start on December 7th at 8pm with the gates opening up far earlier than that at 5:30pm to allow for family picnic dinners etc.
It is held at the Werribee Mansion and we are expecting over 5000 people!
Its $5 entry which includes the program, and kids 15yrs and under are free!

Expohire:
Technically, this week was to be my final week with Expohire! 40 weeks have gone by quickly haven't they?! HOWEVER, they have offered me the chance to keep working there all the way through to uni next year - which is March! I've taken them up on that without flinching, partly cos i'm enjoying it there, and partly cos we'll need the money!
So good news there...

Uni:
I've been rather unmotivated at uni this year - perhaps because I am working and feel that I don't need to do uni at the moment, or perhaps its because I think the two subjects I've had this year were crap. :)
Either way, the current subject (my lego thing) is starting to get good - with 3d modelling and renders all happening. Which I love - I have learnt heaps about 3dsMax this year, thanks to Expohire, and continue to learn every time I have to do a render - by looking up tutorials on materials and lighting, I'm happy with how they are turning out!
I'll post an image of my latest render in a tick.

Bek:
Bek just finished her 6weeks of teaching rounds and has started back at the child care centre 4 days a week which is a welcome boost to our income! I think she may only have 1 more uni class! FOREVER! She has been working really hard on her final folio - which is to sum up everything you've learnt and done over 4 years! But thankfully, the stress of finding a job no longer exists due to the Point Cook school offering her a position!!!!

Church:
Our church is about to move venue's in 2 weeks time! Kinda scary, cos we don't have another venue lined up yet!
Thomas Chirnside (where we currently have church) are about to start major renovations and construction so we had to get out of their school gym. However, we only had 4 weeks notice - so the leadership team have been busy searching for venues.
We did have Volt Niteclub lined up, which would have been awesome, being right there at the plaza, in the middle of the community, but unfortunately, due to them renting off the Plaza, they cannot sub-rent to us...
anyway, this is huge now - but as you can see, lots happening! Plus, i've fallen crook with a stomach bug today, which is why i'm at home, but hopefully that'll be gone soon!

yes we did think that blogging might have suddenly become passe (can't find how to put an accent on the e as I rarely type in french nowadays!)for Generation Y, so we're glad to see you back in print.
Can't believe Bek's virtually done - not a student anymore - bang goes the student discounts I suppose but here comes a SALARY!

Doesn't matter how crap you think uni is this year - just finish it, get good marks and stay in touch with your classmates. You'll never regret it.
Well done to both of you on your jobs, future work and uni stuff. Before long you'll be a double-income-no-kids couple and be able to afford one of those giant mansions down by the river with a tennis court and indoor pool in the backyard!
Just remember us lowly people when you're raking in the millions for your designs, Sim!!
By the way, what did you call your new fish?
