My brother Michael’s book—which he has been working on for the last 5+ years, is going to be published! By none other than Scholastic!
Ok, so it IS only in New Zealand at the moment, possibly Australia, but that’s still amazing. I’ve been supporting him for so long you should have seen me jump up and down when I heard him on the phone. He just got the news and told me. Thanks to facebook, many others close to him know too. It’s great! I can’t wait to see in in print and the best part is, now I can share my love for in with other people instead of being all hush hush about it for copyright reasons etc.

YEY!

So this holiday has been extremely good for me, what with this great news, my scholarship—hopefully I’ll add the “passed full license test” on the list—because that would be awesome too. I can’t be greedy now, but I did lose when it came to a boy this holiday (what’s new in that area?) so all’s fair! You can only be successful in love OR work at the moment it seems. I’m choosing work. Obviously.

Anywho. I’m trying to write an essay on the media/Obama/marketing etc. It’s so hard! So much to write about and not enough motivation. It should be easy for me, but I’m kinda over Obama atm. Well, the hype. I still love Obama and support him, but enoughs enough thanks.
