On the flip side...

It's been a while since my last post. It's a sign that I've been hard at study. Most of the time. A few assignments due this week so I haven't pulled my head completely out of the books.

Last week I got out a bit. This "Sunday" thing is useful. Went about an hour out of Sydney proper and hiked through a small bit of Royal National Park. A bit is a 16km loop, up and down ridges, pools, and rivers; still only a small corner. Lucky for me the fellow I was with had an extra hooded rain jacket because it dripped for much of the way. All told, a good days entertainment and exercise for the mere price of $6.40 (train ticket both ways). The only downside to Sunday off is that you then have to work Friday, meaning you fall in on top of Shabbat with no time to do much other than an hour in the kitchen and a few minutes cleaning up. I understand both sides of the debate.

Rosh HaShana is coming soon. Got to get on the ball with where what and all that.

This past Wednesday I listened to a panel discussion sponsored by World Religions for Peace. Very well spoken all around. Met a Baha'i fellow from Cooktown(pop. 1600). When he spoke about being different because of your beliefs, he knew what he was talking about. The speakers all focused on National identity and it's (possible) clash with religious identity.

Last week and this have been focused on school. "There comes a time in every students life..."
