Two weeks holiday have come to an end and it’s back to NZGSE on Monday for the third term. It’s taken ages to get into the break and I had a freak out moment in the first week resulting in a trip to Moeraki for a break and to catch up with my parents. More alcohol is on the go and winter is still a freezing bitch. Hope fully next year I can start teaching, earning money and we can look at getting a place of our own. The scooter is still going well though in the break I have been trying to cycle or walk to get some exercise. Petrol prices have gone up again, electricity prices have gone up again, food costs have gone up again…my income has not gone up. I noticed the newspaper had an article about some of this and talked about the problems the poor will have…um…maybe we can replace ‘middle class’ with ‘neo-poor’ or something to make it sound trendier. Then we’ll all want to be it and not complain about cost of living.

Two weeks holiday and I’m still tired…roll on summer and the end of the year.
