Friday 31 August

Tai Chi and then buns for breakfast again. Looks like a winning combination, especially when cereal is so hard to find. having lots of delicious fruit though.

Today involved a lot of administrative functions, and meeting the other teaching and administrative staff. we also discussed the teaching requirements and assessment in a bit more detail. I’ll be teaching 18 periods week (some double periods) but only to 6 different classes, to students from 1st to 3rd year. Everyone has been really helpful and friendly, especially Ben, so I should have good support while here.

Students have now started arriving for the new semester so the college is becoming more alive – and billboards have started appearing.

I went to the cafeteria for dinner tonight, and I must say, if the Chinese restaurants in Sydney served the food available in the  cafeteria, I’d be eating Chinese more often. None of that gluggy braised stuff, but very tasty (and sometimes very spicy) meals but always a good range for all tastes, especially vegetarians.

Tonight I indulged in sliced beef cooked with a cross between a capsicum and green chili, pumpkin (sliced thinly and very tasty), green beans with garlic, and rice. No complaints at all.
