    By all means keep those priorities in life in the right order. Good to hear from you.

    Good to hear from you. Especially that you're having fun and still kilting. Dr. Kaku? WOW. He has really expanded
    what can be talked about.

    Lots going on and congrats to you and everyone around you who has made major life decisions.

    Enjoy the study but don't give up on the rugby though. Best game in the world (from a former Hooker and father of a current 11 year old Hooker - he's the little guy in the middle of the back row in the picture and yes he is standing up ).

    GT has a great Womens Sevens team; watched them at the PPL.

    I do hope to get back into rugby, I just know its not going to be this year. I still really love the game, and it scares my parents that I'm insane enough to want to keep playing. I just really have to work on getting grades up so that I can apply for the Hope Scholarship so that I can get some extra money while attending college.

    Wow! Kaku! What a great thing.

    Welcome back, and stick with the books. I admire your chosen field, and one thing for sure: it'll never be boring!

    Seriously, mate?! Dr Kaku?! That is so awesome! It's not everyday that one gets to meet one of the planet's most brilliant people.

    Keep those grades up and we will one day read about YOU in the science journals. Now...get crackin' on a warp drive, my friend.

    Sounds like a good plan and tell your parents I said there's nothing to worry about; a broken nose and cauliflower ears exude character ;)
