A Very Merry Christmas!!

We're going to Tassie with all the family for the week, then I have a old-EUers New Year's Eve party, so I won't be seeing you guys till next year!

Last Tuesday after work we had a christmas party upstairs, with clients. I got to speak to my team a bit more and, of course, to the other students. Everyone's seems pretty friendly. :D I'm not against working here when I graduate... Especially if I'll be in the team that I'm in currently.

Yesterday some usydgroupians hung out at Jansson's place for a BBQ. It was pretty good. Lots of meat... I was half falling asleep though due to only 5.5 hours sleep on Saturday night and a 6.5 hour average during the week! (Saturday was pretty good though, 10 hours!)

Seems like the 21st galore is over... At least, because it's Christmas... Soon t'will be our year Catie, Viv and Alex! How exciting! We get to be OOOLLLDDDD!!

Up, up, up and away!!

Colours! Sorry if they clash, I was trying to be Christmassy with minimum effort, so I may have missed some bits.

You'll just have to stick with it for a couple of weeks!
