3 down, 6 months to go....

before my visa runs out... well the details are a bit different but the desired effect is to convey the idea that time flies whether you're having loads of fun or you're bored....it's all the same, it doesn;t stop and you can just watch...crazay stuff!!!
I find it hard to believe that I have just finished my third uni year down under!! not quite 3 real years but it won;t be long either!!
I can;t complain at all though because it's been 3 damn good years, well with ups and downs from a uni point of view but which helped me come to the conclusion that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, and so you just have to switch sides from time to time!! when you get extra sick of the grass you're standing on, jump and you'll soon find that it wasn;t so bad... you see, and it works both ways too but no jumping for me yet, right now, i'm having a fine time on my little patch of grass so i ain't going nowhere!!
As the session winds down quietly, Chris and I had a fine week end in Cudmirah in the newly set up family caravan (lint) rescued from the 70's from chris' grandparents garage... it was good, the weather sucked but who cares when you're camping in style and we had a 3 day long fiest!!! chris did all the cooking as well which was supa cool for you know who... and well, i'm on a hunger strike today to give my tummy some time to digest! it was supa delish though!
the caravan park was alright although pretty gloomy because of the weather but it;s right on a pretty big surfbeach and is also close to a big lake, on which you can rent kayaks and stuff. it should be fun for a nice summer week end.
at the moment, it's a bit hard to tell if it is still winter or summer as they keep promising... the weather is sort of crap half of the time and keeps switching back and forth... oh well, summer will come and then we'll be praying for some shade away from the damn flies so there you go!
Overall, i'd say that everything is cool and life is good!!!!

Glad to see you are finding the proverbial glass to be half full rather than half empty and yes, it is fascinating to be able to experience life from both sides of the fence. In my latest packie, you will find a couple of articles about the recent protests at your former school, which should make you a combo of nostalgic and relieved to be outta there. I was just thinking it's a bummer that next month, you'll miss some Aussie summertime and that we're rarely sorry to miss wintertime but you will have plenty of warmth indoors at the ranch.

it makes me 'uber' sad to think that one day it'll all change... can't we just stay in 4th year for ever?

C'mon Caz, don't you want to be a grown-up ? There is a life after 4th, 5th and even 6th year. Just think, you have no more homework but you still feel as if you are 16 years old or so. What could be better ?

Laure, Chris,

Je vois avec plaisir que mon petit trip de cet été est bien rentable car je suis allé voir sur Google Earth où se trouvait Cudmirrah et j'ai revu avec plaisir la zone de Jervis Bay.

Maintenant je peux suivre vos excursions et bien imaginer le genre de paysage que vous avez parcouru, en l'occurence ces belles longues plages du sud de Sydney...

Un détail : comment avez-vous récupéré la caravane (Lint) qui était, si mes souvenirs sont bons, à Albury ? Et où la stockez-vous maintenant ? A Randwick ?

Bisous,

Papa
