Magda is coming to Australia!
I only hope (and I know magda knows this) that i can find enough time to show her around and introduce her to all the fantastic people in Sydney!
Magda arrives on the 28th Feb, and as this is samir's last night in the country, hopefully we may be able to pull something off that night.

My life
Hello!
I dare not look at the statistics for this site, as I'm sure nobody checks it anymore, which is great cause I can write whatever I want and it wont matter!
I had a chat with Nick a while ago, and we commented how good it would be to have an online calendar which informed people of what we are doing all the time, and it would be great to know what your friends are doing as well. This would of course make catching up with everyone so much easier. However you would have to be very carefulbecause you could never hide behind the old - sorry its my mums b'day - because everybody would know your fibbing!
So the point is, if I haven't been in touch recently, its because this is what my life is like at the moment:
Assuming a full day comprises 0800 - 2400 There are 16 Hours a day.
Subtract 6 Hrs a day for everyday chores. (2 Hrs a day Travel. 3 Hrs a day for food preperation and consumption. 1 Hr a day for when you forget your keys, etc.)
Assume a 5 day working week (10 x 5) = 50 Hours a working week.
Requirements:
Work: 20 Hrs a week.
Contact hours at uni: Estimate 12 Hrs a week.
Recommended study time: 28Hrs (9 articles * 4 hours ea)
Total: 60 Hrs.
There goes 10 hours of the weekend before I even get started! Can I really do 16 hour days for a whole year? Simon?
Can I manage to fit some tutoring into this schedule? I'd love to... but it seems crazy. But then, as Brett (Masters student doing some revision with us lowly honours students) rightly points out... he is lecturing at UWS, running an accounting practice and looking after two kids (in conjunction with his wife). Surely I can fit it in right?
ok, I'll stop bitching now, but just letting everybody know what I'm doing these days and to inform you of why I might get pissed of if you don't return my phone calls or messages etc etc... oh and yes mum, this is why I hardly call home as well!

Thursdays and Sundays
Hi All,
After the success of last thursday night, I will again be visiting the Edinburgh Castle Hotel this thursday night. From 6pm till 9pm a selection of boutique beers will be available at half price (Buy one get one free). Thats $3 for blue tounge Alcoholic Ginger Beer!
The Pub is located on the corner of bathurst and Pitt st, one block southeast of Townhall station. It has been beautifully redecorated and after the 6o'clock swill it quietens down into a nice atmosphere where you can sit at the big open windows and watch the world stumble by...
Also keep in mind that this Sunday I'm going to endevour to go lawn bowling at Waverton lawn bowling club from about 2pm. Anyone who is interested please call me on 0406760790. They have a great view and used to have a live band and sausage sizzle on sunday arvos!
