Back to Varsity

I’ve now been back in Varsity Apartments for a week after leaving for the holiday break last year. Uni started this week and so I’ve been heading to the lectures and tutorials of my new subjects. The return back to study has been quite uneventful. This semester I’m taking four different subjects. Environmental Planning and Law, Justice and the Australian Legal System, Health Promotion Planning and Assessment and Microbiology. Even though the first week has just finished, both of the lectures for my legal subjects were pretty heavy going. Even more so than microbiology. Acts and legislation isn’t that exciting at the best of times. The lectures consisted of the teacher explaining different sections of the planning act or how legislation gives power to enforcement agencies, however, if the words ‘where possible’ or ‘when possible’ are in there, a loophole exists that any solicitor or lawyer can get out of. This year I’m sure will be tougher than the last so I’m going to have to buckle down. I won’t be able to leave any until a couple of days before. Now I’ve just got to put my mind to it.

Laura and Paul's Wedding

Laura and Paul are now married and I went to their wedding as a groomsman.  I flew straight to Melbourne from Alice Springs a couple of days before the event.  Those days were pretty busy.  There were a few hiccups along the way but it all worked out well.  The wedding was held at a the registry offices with the reception at the grand Windsor Hotel a short walk from the registry offices. The day went off without a hitch and before you knew it we were outside on the steps getting our photographs taken.  The reception meal was quite grand but very tasty.  Before I knew it the day was over.  The next day Laura and Paul left for their honeymoon in Tasmania and Mum, Dad and me drove back to Brisbane via Bega, which is on the south coast of New South Wales, to visit Lewis.
