Two weeks of many, many interesting events.

As promised folks, here is the low-down on the last two weeks and a bit, in two, juicy, action packed editions!

Week One:

The last week of term approached with great excitement, although I admittedly didn't really know why. This accounted largely for my lack of an update - at the beginning of the week not much happened and I left it 'till later. Then, BOOM! Thursday hits and I've got no time! Thursday was the Achilles Cup which is the local boys schools' Inter-collegiate cup. Officiating there (in the hammer-throw) was a great day off work (and earned me a fair bit of cash), and also saw Saints win the overall competition!

Thursday evening is what everyone was excited about though. It was the School and Allen House Dinner 2009. It was a fantastic formal evening, with a good guest speaker and a fascinating insight into some of the... finer aspects of a boys boarding house! The pub afterwards was great too, though did make work on Friday morning a little harder than usual, but luckily being in the library... well it was easier than it could have been! And it was only a morning!

After all of that, it was the 2009 "Blue and White", that evening. A huge, American high school style school dance basically... There was free ice-cream, free soft drinks, a DJ all night, LOADS of camera people, lots of dancing and a very good time had by all! Like the Commem ball, but on big, nasty American steroids!

Saturday saw the Australian sporting event of the year. As Geelong triumphed over Saint Kilda in an excellent game, I was on the barbie (at least for a bit) for my first Aussie BYO barbecue. Awesome. After an excellent curry with the Coupers (three-fifths, at least), it was back to the boarding house to pack for my early start.....
