Bringing in 2010

Here we are in 2010 - a whole new decade.  I guess over the last year I have really had to admit that I am now an adult.  (could go into a whole debate here about word choice: adult/grow-up, woman/lady/girl... but I shall veer off that for now)  How do I know that?  Let me count the ways: (here ends EBB tribute ;-)

• I am a quarter of a century old/young.
  
• I am now no longer a student - after 5 years at university, I can no longer claim that student discount at the cinema.  Havent quite given up the card yet though, still carry it around in my purse, just in case (of what I have no idea...).
• I have a job.  I had the interview and got that call to offer me the job - woop woop woop!
• I pay taxes.
• I pay rent at a house and bills - some even in my name!
• I can remember things from almost 20 years ago!!  Watching home videos these holidays, there's no denying it - I have been alive quite a time.

 I wish to record an element of New Year's Eve this year.  At least half an hour of the early evening myself, my sister and three family friends spent watching youtube clips of Hole in the Wall.  Thoroughly enjoyed yet at the same time appreciating the biazarrity and still pleased to be whole-heartedly experiencing the entertainment!  I had heard other teachers talking about it at school and had been eager to witness it, and finally got my chance.  Lived up to all expectations.  We found Dutch, Japanese, Mexican (?), Australian and Philipine versions - who knew????

Lots more good stuff has happened over these holidays.  Maybe I will find time to share them at some time :-)

ps - keeping with the ICT theme of the blog, i was introduced to www.keepvid.com - a site for downloading videos.  I hope this will be particularly useful for school where we can't access youtube or similar videos on the school server.  If I am organised enough I can get them in advance using this site.

pps - totally failed to find the spell-check... where has the button gone?
