melwilBecause I'm putting off other work, I'm going to do the introduction meme.
Hi! I'm Melina. Otherwise known as Lina, MelWil or occasionally Mel. Mel freaks me out, because at highschool someone else was Mel and I was Lina. My dancing students know me as Miss Melina, or Miss 'alina. I've almost finished a graduate degree in Primary education and I'm desperate to get a job next year. I'd like to teach Year 4. I've also completed an Arts Degree, majoring in Ancient History and Ancient History/History.
I live in Brisbane. I've lived here my whole life, except for those years when my parents uprooted my 'city' self from our inner city suburb, and moved me to the middle of no where. I live in a flat with my boyfriend, Matt. I'm very messy, which drives Matt crazy.
I love Ben Folds. I listen to other music too, but the only musician I'd go out of my way to see is Ben. I love lots of authors, and I've been reading madly since my grade one teacher pressed a Famous Five book in my hands. I adore Spooks, Buffy, and the West Wing.
When I was little I wanted to be a ballerina. Then a lawyer, choreographer, historian and teacher. Now I want to get my Masters and PhD and learn how we can help gifted and talented students to acheive in schools. I'd also like to teach overseas for a while.
I have long hair, and a morbid fear of hair dressers. I wear glasses which I'd like to replace, except for the money issue. I also have a wardrobe of clothes which is beginning to need replacement. I'm avoiding sugar at the moment, on dentist's orders, and all sorts of foods on doctor's recommendations. The lack of chocolate is killing me.
I have a good family - parents who have given heaps so my sisters and I could do dancing and gymnastics and sport and karate. Two sisters who I get on with pretty well now that we live away from each other. And a large cast of rather strange relative, all of whom refuse to grow up. (My grandparents turned toys into business many times over). I'm really proud of my sisters, even if I don't tell them that.
And I've wasted a good amount of time writing this introduction! YAY!
