random ramblings.....

hrmmm time to blog again.
Lectures start next week, should be interesting. Still waiting for the textbooks and stuff. There are about 63 students in the internal Rocky class, so it should be cool.
I guess i just need to read the slides beforehand and wing it... hrmmm wait and see.

Got my new powerbook!, its really sweet, still waiting for the expansion ram and airport extreme card, but it works pretty sweet. Very speedy... way better then my poor iBook that got stolen... yay!

Havnt been doing much else, marking exams at the moment.

My grandfather passed away last friday afternoon. Went home for the funeral on tuesday. Flew to Brisbane then got a lift with some friends. I would have liked to stay longer, but i had to get back to get ready for lecturing and start marking the exmas i have to do. The funeral was as can be expected. My youngest sister said some stuff for the grandkids and it was really good. I was one of the paw-bear (someone who carries the coffin). I wore my uncles coat, the one that died a few years ago from cancer, so that was pretty neat. Fit me perfectly.

Sooooo, things back home are kinda settling down now. The fam is sorting stuff out. But i think things will be ok.

My other pop is going great. Still going good. I didnt get a chance to see him when i was home, i wasnt even there for a full day. I think ill go home sometime in the next few months again, whenever i can get holidays.

Mum and Dad are maybe coming up in April, should be cool.

yup, thats about it. Dunno what ill do tomorrow, mark exams, might catch a movie as well... there are a few decent ones showing... bleh bleh..

righto, enough of this, back to marking.
