Holidays
Wow, first term is over! This is my first of two weeks of holidays - or 'study break' as it's called - and it's been nice just to have a bit of a break from lectures (as interesting as they are). I finaly got my Amos essay finnished today with all this spare time. 4 down, 4 to go.
It has been very nice just hanging out with poeple around campus, eating together, jamming together, praying together. Tomorrow I am going down to Sussex Inlet for the weekend with Neil. We are going to meet up with Adam and Naomi Clegg, and Adam and Ruth V. for the weekend. Yay, I like holidays.
After holidays there are only 3 weeks of lectures left for the year! Then just exams and I head back to Ballarat for the summer holidays!
Weekend of firsts
Two months in Sydney and I finally had my first trip in to the city! On Sunday I went into the city with Neale for a
Make Poverty History rally and he kindly showed me around. We had a look around the city, saw the Opera House and the Harbor bridge etc. Very cool. I then caught the train north for my first visit to Gosford to catch up with
Matt. We stayed the night there and came back to Sydney this afternoon. (Don't let Matt near the tea bags) Thanks for coming to visit Matt.
I also went for a run for the first time since arriving in Sydney. There aren't that many nice places to run around here, but the extra weight I'm starting to put on suggests it might have to become a routine. And for the first time I am feeling under quite a bit of pressure with 3 assignments due in just over a week.
I'm learning a lot though, and enjoying lots of interesting conversations, so I can't complain much. And just over a week until my first holidays! Time is going fast!
