(Long) Easter weekend
Thursday
Took the day off from uni (normal tut cancelled and not worth going in for an 1 hr lec) and went to the Blue Mountains with my cousin visting from Canada. First stop was the Leura candy shop and we spent about $25 all up on rock lollies, coke laces, various gummies and youghurt sticks. Yum! Then we continued driving to Jenolan Caves. I guess as a first timer there it was pretty interesting going into a bunch of caves. We did the "Chiefly" cave walk which took about 1 hr and it felt like going to a geography excursion! Here's what I learnt: Stalactite, an icicle-shaped mass of calcite attached to the roof of a limestone cave looks like dripping snot :P
Had lunch after the walk and then drove home. I was so buggered by the time we hit the M4 I was micro-sleeping.
Good Friday
Spent the day at home and started on Tele Systems 2 assignment (due Sunday). Had to review one paper and analyze design principles of one Internet protocol so it wasn't too bad...except I haven't been listening in class so had to skim over lecture notes to read up on design principles. Then at night our church had a movie night - 'Luther'. For those who haven't seen it, it's about a 16th century monk (Martin Luther) who challenged the political and religious authorities that began the Reformation of the church. Interesting movie but for me, it's one of those films I'll have to watch a couple more times to get a better understanding.
Saturday
The plan was to get a guitar tuner and new strings because my old ones snapped. However when I got to Turra music, it was closed :( Went home and worked on the assignment but fell asleep (must be reading in bed hehe) so got nothing done. Went out to dinner with relatives at...Blackstump! Haha go the coupons :) Saved ourselves about $70 but boo to the public holiday surcharge ($20 all up) :(
Easter Sunday
At the Easter Sunday service/evangelistic we had Greg Prosper talking on "How do you know if you're right with God" and it was fantastic to see 4 people commiting their lives to Christ afterwards. Praise God! Went home in the arvo and submitted my assignment and then went out to the NSW-ACT Super 14 game in the evening. NSW were pretty flat in the first half but kicked ass in the 2nd half and ran out 37-14 winners. We sat behind the goal posts and got to see all but one of the NSW tries :) Oh, and one word to describe Wendell Sailor: crap. He looks crap in a 'Tahs jersey and plays crap too. Harsh I know...
Monday
Woke up around midday, went to Albert's place and we finished reading 1 Timothy. Went to buffet dinner at night and as usual, stuffed myself fully...

Luther is better if you do "Reformation Church History" in the PTC then watch it again.
Otherwise I could lend you a book "The Essence of the Reformation". It is quite nice and simple enough to get some of the overview.
Yeah! If I could borrow it for a read that would be good :)
I can't believe you had to submit an assignment on a Sunday, let alone Easter Sunday! That totally sucks.
I agree with Pete, having a bit of background helps you to understand the movie a little better. I thought it was interesting that Luther didn't want to break away from the Catholic Church at all, he wanted them to change their thinking to bring it in line with the Bible. Breaking away kind of just happened because they wouldn't budge.
