I'm back in Melbourne

I'm finally back in Melbourne after a long 3 weeks away. I have just been on a transitional training course in Wyee, NSW. This course equips you to live in a foreign country and work in a team environment. It was a great course and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The photo is off the group I was with. I made some great friends who are going to the coolest places. You should be able to spot the me in the middle up the back. The only downside to the course was that I got sick with the flu during the 2nd week and didn't recover until just before it finished. I think my sleep talking said it all. Apparently after the 2nd week I rolled over at 3am and said out loud "3 weeks is too long". I don't usually talk in my sleep (at least I never hear myself doing it anyway) but it was loud enough for a room mate to hear me and burst out laughing. 3 weeks was a bit long (especially when you have the flu for half of it), but I guess it prepares me for 4 years in the Philippines. I'm at home and back at work now. I'll work for the next couple of weeks and then head off to WA to visit my family before returning to Melbourne and then head off to Sydney to leave from there. My flight is booked for Sept 8. Look out Phil's, here I come!
