Last day at Law
After over 6 years I have officially finished working for the ANU College of Law. It is amazing how scary that is. It has been a good job with reasonable pay for many years, and now it is no more.
I am onto bigger and better things though, better pay closer to home, overseas travel. It should be good times for both Kung Fu Fist and Tea!

Unexpected visit
When you're giving a Kung Fu demonstration your mind is somewhat occupied. So when you see your sisters who live in 12000 km away standing in front of you it makes for a great amount of confusion. It turns out they were down visiting their father (not mine). If he lived less than 400km away this would have made perfect sense I am sure. I gave up trying to understand this and instead spent some time with my long lost (haven't seen in over 12months) sisters. I also saw my former step-father. This was quite interesting, but civil so that was nice...
Demonstration
What fun that was, two full demonstrations 2hrs apart. It was a long day but a good result. I think that very few people were able to see the errors that were made and even less were able to say exactly what was done wrong. We seemed to pull about 100 more people together than any of the other displays for the day so that must be a good sign.
I've been told that I will be getting copies of photo's taken by students etc so I will post those asap.

Getting back
Not happy. Two Chinese exams down and both had major errors! Though I did do lots of study and I have learned a lot from it I do wish that I was able to get it right at the time. The good part is that the total of the two exams are only 2o% of my final mark so I still can get an HD!
Condolences:
Oral;
I did well in my questions though I wasn't able to follow my notes due to lack of full "rehersal" I take partial responsibility but there was a time factor to consider.
Written;
The lecturer said that the exam was too long for the time given partly because we started late and had to finish early! However I do know however that I answered more of the written exam than many of my peers. So that makes me feel good!

NAS round 3
Many moons ago I told my students about a tournament that was being held last weekend. Unfortunately for me some remembered and wanted to enter! My rotten luck!
I don't know why, perhaps to satisfy my own standards for the competition or at least know how the event was going, but having students in the comp made it necessary for me to judge.
It wasn't a bad competition but I did have to spend a lot of time not doing things like study (still the reason I'm not getting this site updated regular like).
The results, Xiao Mao, 2 firsts and one disqualification (just but came from bad understanding not true misconduct/malice. DaGe 1 Second for one of the better performances of his form I have seen him do (though he did muff it up a little). In the end we came away well ahead.
Now to blow my own horn, I also had someone come up and say that they were happy to have me judging their students and that I was an exemplary judge. I like it when that happens.
I also got recognized by a heap of people afterwards, that I didn't think would have seen me there. That was interesting. Eg, my office mate said his friend told him that I was there. Why in blazes would he... I live in a small town.
