HI Everyone,

I had a chance to post a QUICK update while I was in Lismore today, tapping into some free wireless from the nearby cafe ... & here it is ...

The course I just finished (my ASSIST) with the American Field Service went really well.

The kids were great, 16 to almost 19 years of age, very well behaved, keen, respectful, and fun! I even had a young man who is going to Harvard this year, he got 2380 on his SAT, the top score is apparetnly 2400! He was a funy, yet quirky young man who asked interesting questions & was a treat to have on course, along with the 11 other participants from Alaska, Wshington state, California, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Michigan, & New York City.

I went out with an instructor who goes by Whiskey (the phonetic for his last name) but we told the kids our names were Tess (me) & Taz (Whiskey is from Tasmania). They went with it but figured those weren't our real names & we told them our names on the last night ... they figured they liked Tess better than Teresa, how funny!

I will add more to this update when I am back in Lismore on Friday for my podiatrist appointment.

Hugs 'n' Bugs, love,

Teresa
