Day 1
Touched down in Sydney at 16:30 and the weather was beautiful and sunny. Not what I had expected on the forecast. Wendey and Robert were in the foyer when I arrived. Had a quick chat and headed up to my room. For the first time my room mate had arrived before me on a course. He is a new student called Steven. After Dinner with Robert,Geoff,Wendy,Elan and Steven we headed in for the briefing and the first day videos. By 7:15 everyone was seated with Scott doing a pep talk. Intentions where covered first. Then a brief explanation of the hexagon. Geoff gave a good explanation of the program itself and the long term commitment that is needed. Geoff than started the First Day Video’s. He elected to call the new students up in order of enrolment. 26 new students where there and another one is still to come in the morning. We had a nice mix of covert’s and overt’s, 12 - 14 by my scoring. A few of the covert’s where very skilled in the word substitution but you cannot avoid your name. Video’s finished at 9:00 and Geoff explained some more about the program. The grads stayed bag for a talking to by Scott and Robert.
This morning I woke up to the wind howling. The weather in Sydney has turned to the worse and I have been told the winds will be picking up to gale force in a few hours.
I have found some good Internet access for a good price just down the road so lots more updates should be coming.
