The conversation went something like: Me: Sure, no problem. Stu: Cool. So hows things? Me: Not so good. Failed a unit man. ...

All proposals must be submitted by November 28th

Tomorrow I’m going to the beach! And I’m going to stay in a five star hotel (something I haven’t even imagined on my poor, exchange student budjet) and we’re going to dance la salsa all night long.

Why does Dan never blog?

I seek chemical means to bring myself into a different state of mind. However, instead of escaping this world, I want my mind to clear, to fully integrate itself into the environment, and to be able to assess and observe a situation critically. I’ve been trying to achieve that state of mind where ideas flow unheeded. Some people believe that ...

Happy Funerals

I saw my first dead person on Sunday. I had a lovely day planned, a boy had invited me to go horse riding and we were going to take a picnic lunch and go for a walk though a nature reserve (honestly, I can’t really say that nature reserves really tickle my fancy but it’s something I feel obliged to ...

England…LA LA LA LA LA

I am not going to go off about it as Matt covered that topic, but i have to express my joy and happiness for England winning the world cup on Australian soil. I mean its the biggest thing we have won since 1966, so we have to milk it for all we’ve got. Good ol Wilko, Johnson, Robinson, and unsung ...
