End of Johns

It's official- it looks as though Seth and I are finally going to have to leave Johns at the end of the month. After making a final appeal to the Heads of College (and even having the support of Caz, the acting Dean), they decided it did not make "dollars and cents" to have the two of us working next year. To avoid having to move off campus and being stressed the final months of my thesis writing, I was almost willing to pay the $290 per week it would cost to stay, but since we will try to leave Canberra before the semester ends we would have to break the 20 week contract and be heavily fined. I suppose most good things come to an end, but at least I realise the two of us are extremely lucky to have been so well set up for most of our stay the past 17 months in Australia. On to the next home...
