A further update on life

Well, I have started into my Graduate Bachelor studies, which has been good. They are interesting, which is always helpful. Aside from that family life has been quite busy of late, what with one thing and another. Furthermore, the band looks like busying up, which will be interesting as well.

M. has decided (finally!!!!) to study. This means that she is now slightly freaked out by it. However, it will be really good for her. It also means things will definitely be busy around here, but in a more positive way.

I haven't got back into V. as per yet, but I have started getting a few short stories on the go and off to various places. The first - Time to Think - is about adultery, but with a slightly different spin I would like to think. M. thought it was quite good, but we'll just have to see.

So life is going well, and promises to keep me on my toes, so to speak. So that is good.

[Insert whoop of joy of your choice here]

Well, by gum, by golly, by gosh, by crikey, by tum-tiddly-tum, by jiminy, by faith an' begorrah, and any other thing you can thing of "by-ing" by, I'm finished with CMM37, CMM38, EDU120, ENG210 and PAC30. And this means I am done with my second Bachelor. And this means I am feeling pretty "wahoo-ey", so to speak. What a relief!

Life is, of course, still busy. I need to whip into the Graduate Bachelor now, and I have work on V. and various short stories to do. Additionally, I want to enrol in the MA later this year. However, at this moment, I think things are pretty rosy.

Norm and Tom (particularly Tom) wants to pursue more opportunities to perform, as well. This means that there are two performances in a couple of weeks, and possibly further gigs after. Norm also wants to jam with some trumpeter in the jazz style, Tom is keen to form a three-piece, and everybody's kind-of keen. However, these things can all crash down as fast as they build up, but it is nice to be in demand (so to speak) for my musical ability.

Life is full of opportunities, and this is exciting. The kids are going well, and I am looking forward to being able to help them go even better. My energy levels are once again starting to rise, I am getting some sleep and I am not feeling so wretchedly run down, so things are looking up. Hip-hip-hooray. Anyway, there is still heaps to do, so I had better hot-shoe-shuffle out of here.
