It was a tough day teaching in Sydneys south-west today. Its hard to teach when there are helicopters buzzing the school, when local roads are closed off, and when people are being shot outside the houses of some students.

Yes. Today was the day of 'anti-terrorist' raids in Wiley Park, which is not far from my school at all. The muslim population as a whole seems a little jittery about the raids. The school kids are jittery. One of the suspected terrorists that shot at police, and who ended up being shot BY police actually lived near students in my class. He was shot streets away from the school...

Not only this, there was a bomb scare in the same area... the shot terrorists backpack. To further add to the drama, an armoured truck in the same area (Green Valley) was the subject of an armed holdup attempt.

Im glad Im finished teaching there. Goodbye Busby. I just hope the rest of the Muslim population in the area has the good sense to avoid riots and trouble that has been plaguing Paris for the past week.

Freakin freakin.
