Sorry that the following is a bit 'newsy' & probably not of the faintest interest to many of you. However, this post is effective at fulfilling the blogs purpose. Enjoy.
I have had cool week, even though it has been a fairly hard working one. I have made good progress on a couple of essays that have to be in soon... it has been decent focusing my mind to some work - something I am trying to appreciate having the privilege & time to do. I have also been more busy socially as a few new opportunities have come up to spend time with people. Generally, a welcome change of pace, as I reckon I function better under a slightly busier schedule. But, it has been very nice to be less pressured than usual out here with fewer commitments, so I hope I can hold onto that.
St George's College has regular social functions & 'dinners' - very posh! Something my wardrobe & 20kg baggage limit was not prepared for, which has resulted in me resorting to a 'snug' fitting cream 3-piece number for a year of "Geroge's" socialising, which I blagged from a friend. I donned the cream jacket again on Thursday night, for a Cocktail Party in an Oriental bar in town. I'm not converted from cokes & beers, but it was a very cool night. I felt comfortable amongst college-ites, and can definitely see I am getting to know people better, and make stronger friendships. I even graced the dance floor with some of those infamous Richards moves, inherited from "Andy Boy" - the Godfather of multi-disciplined party dancing.
I have just got back from a few days away with a bunch of Christians, including the legendary John Chapman... a houseparty type weekend. It was good & I again got to know some guys much better. It was also very challenging, & great to have some time out to think through this.
Plans are starting to come together for my summer break out of Perth, which is going to run from 25th November-23rd February. It is good to see stuff come together, as that means I can get more excited about it. At the moment though, its time to keep my head down & get these essays done.

You have 5 weeks to prepare Perth for my moves - I am going to be throwing out the beats across the city's finest night spots. Then they will know which son got the moves of the Godfather.
Speak soon
