I can barely remember Year 12 now but one thing I **do** remember is the friendships forged... the work part faded away pretty quickly but I made some very, very good friends my senior years. It's funny because they say they're helping to prepare you for Uni but when I did eventually go to Uni I found it so unbelievably different to the high school system that there was no comparison.

Good luck with everything Jessy :)

Ron and I attended a special event last Tuesday, at Sydney University: a birthday party for the Organ. If anyone would like to read a little about it and see the instrument ( albeit in less than bright light), here's the link http://margaretlynettesharp.wordpress...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes it's massive! I'm halfway in on a 900 page edition but the text is minute - I think it usually runs about 1400 / 1500 ... It's a great read so far though...

[Amber]

I have to ask, is anyone else having trouble with Goodreads? Each time I try to get into my profile it tells me I have to sign in; I click on sign in, and it tells me I'm already signed in and takes me back to the general Goodreads homepage. I can't get into my GR inbox, sent messages or anything either... Does anyone else have this problem?

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Oh no, not another bug Amber!!! I haven't had any of those problems, no, have you cleared your cookies? I'm not sure I know what I'm talking about, but that's what they ask in the feedback group when there's this type of bug O_o!!!

Browse through the topics in the group, if you can get there, and see if you can find an answer. http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/1...

Good luck!

I tried the link, Brenda, and it won't bring anything up... And as I'm pretty much useless with technology I'm totally lost :( lol

Hmm! I just clicked on it and it went straight to the Feedback group...maybe it's at your end as Michael suggests?

I haven't seen too many around my way either. But the one just up the road from me is beautiful ! hehehe. I can be happy just seeing that one alone. ! It's excellent !

I had that for a while Amber and then I ended up losing all my books, photo and reviews etc and ended upas a new member with 0 books, 0 photo, couldn't comment in groups etc. I contacted Brenda and she pointed me in the right direction so I got onto support and they put me all back together again so I am no longer a split personality or an invisivible person.

Yeah, I go to a school where there is only year7 to year10. And then we have to go to a different school for year11&12. So we get a year 10 formal. I'm not going but nearly everyone else is. I'm going to watch a movie instead!!! More fun! I finish school on Thursday after the presentation. I get an extra week off. Because year7-9 have to come next week!
