This arvo Marty and I went down to Clovelly Beach so that I could attempt to learn to drive a BMW 325I 6 speed manual, key word being manual. Let's just say...massive, massive fail. I stalled out about 3,259 times and made an incredible journey of about 20 m in the parking lot. Woo hoo! Unfortunately for Marty, he's going to have to continue utilizing the Sydney cab service...this silly American canNOT pick his drunk ass up.
Anyway, when we pulled up there were a ton of coppers and people on the rocks watching the water. We walked over to see what it was all about, just as everyone started pointing out in the distance. We soon discovered that there had been whales, and of course missed the whole thing. The whales didn't come back :(
On a happier note, immediately following my driving lesson I went to meet an absolutely LOVELY family that needs a babysitter/PIANO TEACHER (!) in Eastlakes. 2 girls, 4 and 1 years old. Natalie and Bionca, respectively. Piano in the house, Natalie can play Twinkle Twinkle and Mary Had a Little Lamb. Very excited at the prospect of teaching again...I see a little prodigy in the making (aka mini me).
MONDAY: Law essay (40% of final grade) due...check minus citations and printing
TUESDAY: Blog and essay (30%) due....lots of work to be done
WEDNESDAY: Media Production Project (40%) due...interview done, video footage taken

cheers!! xx Mariah xx
