Because I'm the teacher... that's why!

I somehow managed to complete all my uni assignments on the weekend. Don't ask how, 'cause I really don't know. By the time I had finished, I was so frustrated and bored. I felt like I was in some competition where I had to think up as many sophisitcated 'edu-speak' words as possible and somehow combine them into a sentence. That was my assignment, and I'm glad it's over. Hur - freaking - rah!

This week has absolutely flown by.... and probably has something to do with the amount of work I've been doing. This (i.e. 4.30pm on Thursday afternoon) is the first opportunity I've really had to sit down and write something. Hard to believe I only have 1 day left in Morven... I must admit, this town is beginning to grow on me (probably a good time to get out, in that case!!)

It rained most of last weekend which was really awesome for the farmers out here. Bill said it was the heaviest rain they've had in over a year. All the dirt and dust just turned to mud. It's amazing that there are still wet patches out here (probably cause it's so cold and low humidity). The carpet in the classroom has turned from blue to a nice shade of browny-red. Thanks kids...

Brigitte and I has an "interview" yesterday and reviewed my 4 weeks. She was really happy with the work I'd done, and had some positive feedback. She has strongly suggested that I come back to Morven later in the year to do my final prac! Bill has also said he'd be happy if I stayed with him again too. I haven't given them an answer... but will think about it over the next few weeks.

The place to be in Morven was Ben's place last night... as we all got together, ate tacos, drank copious amounts of alcohol and cheered on the Maroons. It was a really good game... to compliment the good company! Watching the 3rd State of Origin back in Brisbane will just seem weird and out-of-place after seeing the first 2 in Morven!

Meanwhile, Ben, is leaving at the end of the term, as he has some things he needs to do back in Brisbane. He hasn't really been enjoying the "lifestyle" out here either, and said he'll probably look for work in the private system or something when he gets back. So..... Kendall and Kirsten, if you're looking for a job out here, Morven looks like a pretty hot tip!

Thanks heaps to Kirstine and Greg, Belinda and Dan for the emails!!! They've been great and has been good to hear all that has been going on.

See you all soon!! :-)
