Back in Tassie

Not too much new is going on here in Tassie. Since we've been back it's pretty much been school work (yes I do do that every now and then... especially now that I have realised there are only a few weeks left in school and I haven't done my work yet) and hanging out. I had a few presentations this week in Audio Recording and Indigenous Studies that I think I did pretty well on, and we are finally starting to work with wood in woodskills.
I am on the John Fisher rugby team, and we have our first game against Christ College on May 20th. We've been training a few days a week for quite a while now, and I am absolutely in love with the sport! I find I am especially good at wiping people out. That is quite a bit of fun! Last Friday Courtney came to practice with me for a lack of anything better to do. It turns out Courtney enjoys hitting people just as much as I do; in one of the first tackling exercises she and the biggest girl on the team took me on, and quite effortlessly left me on the ground with a minor concussion. I played one more play before sitting out for the rest of the night... just long enough to come down on Courtney's head and give her a black eye. This picture is right afterward, but once she got up in the morning, it was a real shiner, and now, a week later, it's still all black and blue. I do enjoy pointing out my handiwork when we go places; I think it's something to be proud of... right?
I've been a bit under the weather this week. I missed a big blues fest that I really wanted to go to because I just couldn't get out of bed. But, I am doing a lot better now (so long as I carry a box of Kleenex and some throat lozenges and Tylenol).
Hopefully we'll get to go rafting again this weekend, otherwise I would like to go to a big Ag fest up north. I hope I'll have more news next time I write!! Thanks for checking up on me!
