Back to work

Well after a great house boat holiday on the murray with Muz and Fuz, and all the crew (Wagenaar), celebrating their 30yrs of marriage we are back into the books here at college.

We are trying to maintain our 1 week buffer for assignments, as we have something due every friday for the next 4 weeks. But so far this isn't going so well for Jess - at the moment she has a 1 day buffer! And my week is very quickly disappearing.

So, its been a bit of a challenge getting back into it. Going from relaxing on the boat, eating, fishing (do they still call it fishing when you get no bites 5 days running???), eating, swinging of ropes, and eating - to lectures, eating, reading, eating, lectures, eating, assignments, and eating.

Well eating is an important part of life! Especially when the first footy match of the season is this Saturday!

P.S Half of this post has been highjacked by Jess!
