Trading Whistles For Wheels.

That's it, classroom time is over. The school term has ended. I've clocked off and hung up the official three-stripe sweat pants and put the spittle encrusted whistle back in the drawer for another day. Definitely a good feeling to finish up another block of teaching and now to fully switch my focus to the racing season ahead, with only 11 or so days till I fly out. I think in terms of looking at the bigger picture, going to uni and getting my teaching degree has been a pretty wise move, with teaching such being a flexible job, but also one that is fairly stable and in demand. I know that right now as a 24 year old (yep i had a birthday last week, snuck that under the radar!) full time teaching is not what I see myself doing. But the fact that I can still use my degree and earn some good $ and pick up work here around pursuing other goals has been pretty cool.

So my birthday was spent in a sweaty pub with a few hundred people seeing these guys. This is the second time I have seen them and holy smoke do they have such a big sound for a three piece. Very impressive and like any decent gig I left pretty much deaf, dehydrated and in need of a good lie down. Lator, cw.
