Holidays

Mlargh. I have been at home almost the whole holidays and haven't posted once. Now I will feebly try to explain what I have done, which you probably don't care about, but I'm going to do it anyway.
Firstly, I went to Caloundra for the first week we were off school to see my half sister, which was good. The weather was nice. Everyone was good. I went swimming heaps. We had a "pre-Christmas", which involved having basically a Christmas dinner a few weeks early, as we couldn't spend Christmas with them. Isaac and Caleb, my nephews, loved their presents. David was good, but had to leave a few days before we left, because of work, which sucked, but yeah.
Secondly, we had the real Christmas, which was good. I got plenty of good presents and also quite a few crappy ones, but you get them every Christmas. Ah... The Spirit of Receiving. I got some good headphones, plenty of vouchers, quite a few books and some other stuff. I also got $160 in vouchers and cash, which I spent a few days later, on Nixon in China and the Violin Concerto by John Adams, God is Not Great, Mutants and Guns, Germs and Steel, which I think was a fairly good buy.
Thirdly, my family has been moving house, which has been ... fun... Actually, it sucks. Don't move house unless you need to, which is the only time you would move house anyway. The computers are over at the new house anyway, so yeah, that's all that matters. It now has some superficial semblance of order.
Finally, I am looking forward to the Siemens Science Experience, which starts tomorrow, which should be good and I get to see some of my friends from MacRob, and MYM Summer School, which should also be fun, as I'm going to see some of my MYM friends and I'm playing bari, which should be fun.
In conclusion, my holidays have been rather dull and uninteresting and I'm almost to the stage of getting glad to be going back to school. Actually wait, I don't think I'll ever be that bored!

Stuart! You bought a violin concerto :) I'm exceptionally proud... violin, as we know, is a verrryyyy good instrument. Unfortunately for me, I tend not to play it very well :) Ah, c'est la vie.

Siemens Science Experience! MYM summer school! I'm soo excited! :D
