The Slapping Wind

Months and months have built me up to this point.  Here I am, a few scant hours from my first class in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, the Southern Hemisphere.  I'm strapped for cash and I don't know a whole lot of folks around here, but I can't stop myself from smiling.  Tomorrow it begins with Sculpture at 11am, then Foundation Audio at 1pm.  Wednesday is Foundation Audio at 9am, Australian Texts and Traditions at 11am, and Sculpture at 1pm.  Then, I'll have my tutorial from Australian Texts and Traditions sometime on Thursday or Friday; I haven't worked that part out yet.  All things considered, I'm in class for two full days with a tutorial on some other day--which isn't too bad in my opinion.  This allows for me to participate in the Bushwalking Club, sail on the Lady Nelson, get into the rather extensive music and dance scene here, catch a little work on the side, and have time for whatever else comes.
