I got an email

"In the same way that a good red wine matures with age, it is great to see your friends grow-up and mature!" -----------------------UPDATE-------------------- Judging by that first comment, I should make it clear that this isn't me! If you want to see a picture of my ugly mug you can see it here.

Where are the autumn leaves?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining - more questioning. I love summer and all that it has to offer here in Brisbane, but it's now the end of April and I'm yet to see a single autumn leaf fall. I just went to get my lunch from the refectory (shudder). On the way over it was bright and sunny - a lovely day as it has been all morning.

The ANZAC day long weekend put to good use

This weekend actually felt long, which is good because it was supposed to be and they have a habit of feeling short if they're supposed to be long.

If you check out the date on that previous post you will notice the thing took 26 ... more

Wednesday marked the end of my first assignment for this semester. This is a rant about its stupidity. I'm doing a subject which I have to admit I chose because it looked easy. There are two assignments which account for 60% of the subject and a relatively small 40% final exam. As well as that, one of the assignments involved web development, which I'm reasonably good at. Easy? Maybe. Infuriating? YES!! In the first lecture of the semester we were asked "has anyone done [Subject X]?" to which I raised my hand along with about one third of the class. ... more
