* tries to hide excitement, but fails, miserably*

okay, so it is final.  my boss just handed me a copy of the schedule we'll have in melbourne. 

there are bot good and not so good bits.

aside from the obvious that i will be spending time in australia and have a bit of free time to wander as well, we also get to go to different places in tours and have social gatherings in the afternoon.  classes are only in the mornings.

now for the not so good bit.

we leave on the 22nd and allan's bday is on the 23rd.  i just knew this would happen and i really did not want to miss his birthday.  i won't be able to greet him too because i'd be flying by then.

hay.

allan is sick today so he hasn't heard the news.
