G'day from Oz

Hi there!

I thought that i'd follow the trend - and write  a bit on this blog in order to air my thoughts - and keep people up to date every now and again about what is happening in the always exciting life of Luke.

I've just done a big English unit - and I found this quote - that is probably relevant, it says:

"From here at home, to the ends of the earth, there's a whole world of stories, just waiting to be told.

I hope that everyone will share their stories :)

Anyway

The last few months have been intense, exciting, tiring, and yet - incredibly rewarding. I am in Year 12, the final year of schooling in Australia. This means I have a multitude of assignments, exams and other assessment to complete. I'm currently doing really well so far - so that is great too.

I'm still working at my KFC, it's good fun and fairly good money. I'm saving up for a car, for when I get my licence in September, and of course i'd like to keep travelling.

The travel bug is bringing me this year to Sydney, New Zealand and Malaysia. I'm hoping to meet up with the NZ boys when I go there in a few weeks. 

I also got invited to a wedding in China next year - so I might just make it there - depends on how much money I earn, and how much I spend!

I'm School Captain of my school - and I'm loving the associated responsibilities that come along with that. It sucks up a lot of my time, but it's great being able to do something a bit different - and work with a great bunch of people for the greater good of my school.

Next year, i'm hoping to go to university to study Medicine. Hopefully that will be in Brisbane, but it is very competitive to get into, so I might end up studying interstate. 

I have my formal (sort of like prom I guess) in a few weeks - so that is pretty exciting as well. 

And finally for now - I hope you are all healthy and happy... if ever you're down under, come and say hi.

Cheers from Oz

Luke :-)
