Hello again I apologize for the not posting anything new. Nothing too exciting has been going on now that I have a daily schedule to follow. School is going great and now that I am in week two I am slowly taking over the class more and more. I now teach all science lessons and most math lessons. The English lessons are usually split into halves so I take one half of the class. Needless to say the days are active and busy. By the time I get back from school and the gym it is about 6:30 p.m. In order to stay awake in class I have grown a slight passion for coffee. I buy a medium flat white (Aussie coffee) each morning for three dollars. It tastes good and it helps me to be coherent during the day.
Our school is also doing interschool sports starting next Friday. The competing only happens every fortnight (two weeks). The competition is on Friday and we have practices the other Friday for one hour. Why do I mention this? You are talking to the OZ Tag assistant coach. OZ tag is a combination of rugby league and flag football. I still need to get used to the concept of rugby league so that I can help them with strategies.
As far as my daily life is concerned, I would say it has been the same. I still need to try and save money so groceries are all store brand. As most know, I love my red meat as well as my chicken. Still need to work on those veggies. Rice and pasta are always a necessity and sometimes I will make potatoes instead. For those that are jealous that I would be at the beach, I haven’t gone in a fortnight now because the weather hasn’t cooperated well. I can’t go after school because the sun is down by 5:30. If there is any other news I will be sure to post, but for now that is all.
Hi Kevin, i know you are going to be a great coach. You have the patience and compassion that will help your kids achieve great things. I guess you should brush up on your rugby skills, that would help. Your time in the Outback is an experience you will never forget. I am praying for good weather so you can enjoy the gorgeous beaches. This is definitely an experience of a lifetime. Thinking of you always.

Hi Linda hope all is well! I don't know anything about rugby but my sixth graders are teaching me each day during recess so when we actually have practice I can actually make a contribution. The outback was amazing. It was the complete opposite near the coast because it was so arid. You could see nothing but dirt and trees. Once in a while you would see Emu's and kangaroos in the wild running. It truly has been an experience that I will not forget!
