learning on the job

We've just finished packing. I'm pretty excited to go now, I just want to leave. My friends are all back at school today and I heard that Mr Ryan said I was going away and people were saying like "but Alice isn't going to learn anything". Mr Ryan said "Alice will be learning heaps while she's away". I think that I will be learning heaps of things because it's just going to be a great experience for me and I'm going to study some of the places we're going to, because Mr Ryan wants me to, so I can come back and tell the whole class. Not really anything more to say now. Well bye for now, Ali.

Alice has the honour of offering us our 40th posting on the eve of the big adventure - all the best to the travellers. (Michael)
