Guys, just a quick one this time. I promised to upload some pics from our fancy company-sponsored dinner a few weeks back and also from the Jägermeister Rocksnow party, which took place the following day. That mission has now been accomplished. I also bought some flowers and a bottle of wine for our neighbors...perhaps that will make them think better of us in the future.

COOGEE HOUSEWARMING OK. Back again and with quite a week behind me! Let me think…Wednesday out drinking, Thursday out drinking, Friday out drinking and Saturday at home drinking. Well, that's obviously not the whole truth but a brief synopsis if anything. The week started with a lot of classes - mostly very boring ones.

It's been a while since my last entry but I thought this would be a good time to write down some thoughts now that we're at the turning point.
