holy .....ummmm..... I mean merry ....

Here is the truth: I have been participating in this course at uni. Open University via Curtin to be precise. And. Well. I've also been travelling. Travelling in two senses of the word.

I have driven from Adelaide to Brisbane. I am writing this in Brisbane at my folks house where I grew up. So back to the uni part. I have been participating in online discussions, reading blogs and doing tasks. The same stuff as anyone reading this probably has. I have also been catching up with family, cycling around Western Plains Zoo, reading blogs, stressing about concepts (you who know what I mean, KNOW WHAT I MEAN) And that brings me to the other journey.

I have been travelling along on the blogadrine trail. Blogadrine is the hit you get from receiving comments. Participating in conversation and making choices. I don't think it's a word but I am coining it now if it is not. Blogadrine, it's addictive. You write a post, you wait for the comment, you comment back. The cycle can be unerring. I am certain I am not the first one to say that it is an ego kick. Having work published the minute you write it and read instantly and feedback received is awesome.

But here is the reality kick. I gotta write a heap of stuff about concepts. OK that aint so bad, What scares me is the academic stuff. I gotta write like stuff with quotes and stuff? And an anotiamated bibliomographamy. Crap. the onion is peeling away now. The skin is being shed and the core will soon be revealed. Please you experienced academia types, come with me and help me with my assignment!!!!
