Scratch that. Not being able to come up with a good idea is a major hassle.

I believe congratulations are in order for Bretty after being the first 09 Jschooler to get a job.
As I think everyone already knows Brett is heading to South Australia to head the Naracourt(?) newspaper’s sports section.

After talking to one of my friends going to university in Melbourne, JSchool sounds even better then it did last year.
