what melb holds for me

Summer School '05 is over. Glad to say they did have a blast too. Hearing from Diane, a member of the ctss'05 family i met at OAL, i daresay it was tons of fun for them. Listenin to her stories abt ctss'05, i couldn't help but tear as i thought back to our 2 weeks in summer school. JK, Jessie and Lerato were back as mentors again this year and i can't help but wonder about their experience. From what i see, ctss'05 was crazy too.

Even as i prepare for a new life in boardin in aus nx yr, Melb already holds so much for me. When i visited last month, my parents saw it as a usual vacation spot. But through my eyes, Melb is a place of memories, of wonder. I'm content just being there and lookin back on my ctss'04 experience. The great ocean road will never again be just beautiful scenery, it is a place of recollection. For all of us have left our footprints behind. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. How true is that.

Oh and Vince when u compared us, what was the conclusion?

Hello from Vincent

Hey All

The year's gone, and another group of Summer Schoolers has come and gone (and had a great time, hopefully). I hope this year has been good to you all, and that you've achieved the things you've aimed for (or are at least getting part way there!).

If you'd like to have a gander at what they got up to, you can check out http://ctss05.blogspot.com and http://ctss05.myphotoalbum.com. I'd hestitate to say they had a better experience, but they certainly have some great photos!

Just stopping by to say I haven't forgotten you (I keep comparing 05 with 04!). Merry Christmas and have the best New Year!

Love from Vincent

PS A heads-up to Vasant Valley students: I'll be in Delhi again in January, and we're having an official function at the Australian High Commission on Monday night (9 January 2006 from 5.00-8.00pm), so make sure you get an invitation from Ms Varma or Ms Datta, and come along! You can bring your parents, friends, or just hang out with 04 Summer Schoolers (and the 05s!) ...
