Musings of an Idiot

Orientation Day

It was the orientation day for the new batch of students who start off their year at South Seas. The first day is always fun and a great way to start the year. I can remember how nervous I was on the first day when I did the course in 2003 - it has been 3 years but it almost feels like a lifetime ago.

I was helping David out with his 'breakdown'/'trust' exercises. I am sure every single graduate who has been through the school remembers their first day - no matter how - they either love it or hate it but noone forgets it... Part of the reason is the 'rolling' exercise - unfortunately I could not take any photos of that event because it is a mystery left alone to be experienced and the second was I was helping out David with carrying those out. I am posting some photographs which will give you an idea of what this is all about.


I did not take the photos of the 'egg/ballon' execrise which happens later in the afternoon because there are heaps of photos across previous year from that. But when putting the files on the server - i finally found my old pics that I had backedup there and one of those photographs was Lance teaching me how to snorkel (2003 trip to goat island)...Imagine the the surprise he got when I told him that I did not know how to swim..heeheehe..


I watched the second disc of 'Arrested Development' in one go - that is another 6 episodes odd. It is still entertaining and hilarious as ever. You should definitely have a look if you get a chance.

As a sign off for now I will leave you with another of the old pics I found - it is a view of Auckland Harbour, Harbour Bridge and North Shore. I live on the other side of the bridge - the first exit off the motorway and you are at my home. A couple of interesting (useless??) things about the harbour bridge - you can not walk across the harbour bridge or cycle across it. It is against the law. The only way you can do it is take the Auckland Bridge Climb. I can't remember the second useless fact but it was interesting.


Bye for now,
