Viral warfare
Sunday, 09 October, 2005
Lucky me, I'm sick again. I think it's a virus but that's not really saying much. I've spent most of this weekend sleeping and resting, though I did spend yesterday afternoon helping my sister-in-law in studying for her HSC English exam. Not sure while the school she and I both went to has made the same mistake they did when I was in Year 12—assigning an incompetent teacher to teach HSC English. This one tends to give Lizz's class photocopied handouts, then sits and read them aloud to them. The one I had tried to teach us Coleridge from Cliffs notes.
Ben and I also drove down to Wollongong for the ECU Supporters' Dinner. It was a wonderful night—not just in terms of catching up with old friends but also in hearing about the work that God has been doing on campus in the lives of the students and the staffworkers. One of the girls who is currently part-time has decided to go full-time next year. At the moment, Wollongong has no full-time girls (whereas the year before they had two and then the year before that they had three). I wish I had more disposable income to give to them.
I've started catching up on my blog-reading and discovered that the daughter of the family that we stayed with on NTE mission in 2000 was in New Orleans at the time that Hurricane Katrina swept through. I see her mum around a bit because she works at college. So glad God was looking after her.

Your friend K who used to work at the ABS was here at my house today. She seems to be rather good friends with my flatmate…
How funny! I was wondering whether you would ever run into her. There are a number of ex-Wollongong Uni folk down in Canberra now. I suppose it was only a matter of time ...
