The story so far...

Well, I figured it was about time to write a little update of what's going on in my world!

Ok, so here's the run down:

• Nearly finished Bachelor of Computing degree at Utas up here in Launceston. ...just the rest of this semester to go! I'm doing Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing (mobile phones and stuff), Computer Security, Programming Paradigms (which I don't understand ANYTHING about yet - tough subject!), and...
  
• Software Engineering Project is still going... no more submissions til the end of semester now, which is kinda good but also kinda scary, cos it's harder to judge whether we're on schedule or not! :S
• I'm also still at St John's. I'm concentrating my efforts on music and not being involved in the children's ministry! (Well, not much anyway...!) Kudos to Di who's doing an awesome job at running that! :D
  
• St Joe's Big Band recently recorded for their CD - finally! We've been planning to make it for years apparently. Hopefully it'll be out in time for our concert in November celebrating the band's 160th year! Put it in your diary now: 12 Nov 2005 at the Princess Theatre!
• I've been taking a break from St Joe's for a few weeks in order to do The Alpha Course. We're about half way through and I've found it to be very informative. The content is very well put together, and well delivered. While I've been a christian pretty much my entire life, it's useful to go back to the basics and approach it anew. It's also great to see the enthusiasm abounding from those who are new to christianity. It can be very easy at times to settle into a routine and forget how amazing God is!!
• The Melbourne trip is going ahead! After much complication in organisation regarding accommodation and who was going etc, we're now pretty much set. In the end there are about 7 of us going 1st-5th Sep. We're planning to stay at All Nations which is a really great price - only $15 per night, and lots of stuff included. I suspect they're able to make it so cheap by also running the All Nations Bar, right next door. If you're staying at All Nations for accommodation, you're likely to be spending a fair amount of money at the bar (unless you're like me and don't care much for alcohol!). They even offer guests a free beer on check-in! ;)
  
  The idea behind this, originally, was to take Sandy to Melbourne to see the Lion King for her birthday. Unfortunately, due to one thing and another, Sandy is now unable to go... :( The trip has now largely become a Project Team + friends thing rather than a Sandy's birthday thing. Nevertheless, we still plan to go and have a well earned break from project work and uni and everything! :) While we're there we might also go take a look at the Melbourne Aquarium and maybe Melbourne Zoo. Who knows! :D

That'll just about do it for one post I reckon. Please leave comments so I know you've been visiting me! It might encourage me to post again! ;)

Until next time...
