Chinese Lessons Where for Art thou?!

Today i spent most of my day researching quotes to use in my history essay on the social identity of China. It is a rare occurrence for me to actually go to uni especially when i don't have classes, but i had already asked for an extension so i thought i might actually put some effort in. My excuse (or what i tell others ) is that its hump year, you know the middle of your degree... that one year in a three year degree when you don't do so well... ahem.. well its my excuse and i am sticking to it!
yesterday after Uni i went to B.R.I.T which is the local T.A.F.E and asked about Chinese lessons... of course they have absolutely no idea about anything. Bendigo is supposed to be the Chinese heritage capital of Australia and they don't even offer mandarin lessons! The woman behind the counter even told me that they have never had Chinese language lessons at the tafe, and i told her that's impossible considering i did a Chinese course with them not three years ago! grrrrr.
I wrote out a "suggestion" on their customer complaint and feedback form, so we will see what becomes of that. I am desperate to learn it, its driving me insane. On a sweet note, David bought me a learn at home Chinese kit that my computer is refusing to run...

I caught up with my lovely friends Tegan and Casey today, I am so uber proud of Tegan! (shes doing her Masters of Visual Arts!) and is an all round awesome person. She will be having an exhibition sometime soon, so i can guarantee there will be photos some time in the future!

As an inspiration to those out there in the big wide world, here is my first 'real' blog post. A Chinese character for us to learn together! (awwww)
