I didn't mind studying law - it was interesting enough, but I found that I was really bored most of the time and really enjoying my politics and economics papers. Don't ask me why, but economics was interesting! (The applied version, not the hard core x-y+v=y-n type)

And I know Canberra is an absolute hole... I used to swim in Aussie at a national level when I was living there so I used to compete in Canberra quite a bit when there was a gap in major events at Homebush. Three days in Canberra used to send me mental so I can't imagine what a few semesters would be like...

Looking forward to December though! STA is sending me to Melbourne for two weeks. They are putting me up at Kew but the training is in Abbotsford (go figure).
