Today is Friday (for us) and that means the end of the week, the start of the weekend and stories will be made for Monday news. This week has been fun, I've learned a great deal about my own teaching skills. I have been receiving constant feedback from my coordinating teacher about the good and the bad, which is great. I've also been observed by my university coordinator Tom and he also provided great feedback for me to use in the future.
The reason for the title is becuase today is Gav's 31st birthday! Ness got him a couple things this morning and we will be having dinner tonight. Our CMU group has been invited and it sounds like we will have a pretty good turn out. Gav has done SO much for everyone on this trip so it is great that we all have a chance to give our respects.
The last two days Tim (CMU student) and I have wen kayaking and canoeing down the Swan River, which luckily for us is right at the edge of the school property. Being a PE teacher I have free access to the recreation and physical education equipment, so we've been taking advantage of that! Gav and Allison (CMU student) went with us yesterday and I was kicking myself for not having my camera. Maybe next time I go I will be able to bring it. There were dozens of different species of birds, different wineries and beautiful landscapes. Due to the increase in rain this week, everything is green and luscious, which provides one the positive aspects to precipitation!
There are more pictures that our CMU coordinator has posted HERE.
They cover some of our festivities of Margaret River; abseiling and caving, we also went on a wine tour and went surfing. That weekend was one of the best trips I have ever been on!
I look forward to posting on Monday, enjoy your weekend everyone!

Bet you a dollar you don't even post on Monday..
Haha.. good! Take a day off and don't post on Monday - I'll give you the dollar! Tell Ness and Gav I said HI and sorry I couldn't talk to them more on Saturday ... it was so lound in that pub but it sounded like you guys were having so much fun! I wish I was there with all of you....
I so won.
Jesse did win, unfortunately. Haha, so I loose a dollar, but the question is, is it an Aussie dollar or an American dollar? That is a huge difference to me. Hopefully the next post can make up the difference of lost time.
And Allison, no worries, we did have a blast and I wish all of my friends could be here with me!!
They are pretty close right now, so it doesn't matter to me. Probably AUS dollar. It'll probably be worth like 5 US dollars in a year.
