Endless Summer

My summer course began on the first day of summer, and while not even half way through it’s draining me like it always does.

I wake up, spend all morning preparing, teach for 2.5 hours, do an hour or more (in yesterdays case, four) of office hours, then come home and fight hard to not snooze on the couch watching classic Star Trek. That’s my day, every day.

But I love it, as I always do.

That said I’m looking forward to this long weekend, so I can maybe sleep in a little, not shave every day and light hundreds of fireworks.

And no, I’m not exaggerating on that last number 😉

    Saw an item on the ABC news channel this morning that confirmed fireworks are still legal in the Northern Territory – despite last year’s tally of 139(!) fires and at least 18 serious injuries.

    Er…that sounds a bit negative, doesn’t it? In fact, I miss the hell out of “cracker night” and am very jelly of youse guys 🙂

    Good on the NT’ers! For a state of population 230k+, I’d say those are “acceptable losses”.

    Maybe we have to plan one of our New Years trips to Darwin one year 😉
