good week

  • Frolicked about the laboratories in my Vibram Fivefingers imitations
  • Got a call to schedule a Melbourne-based vac work interview
  • Got back an essay with no comments marked 25/30 - I was typing this up until 6AM on the day it was due
  • Missed a departmental photo but instead had lunch in very amiable company
  • Got to see the effects of five midday beers on a Malaysian kid (after the departmental photo/bbq)- 太贪心了
  • Set a personal best cycling commute time of 35 minutes to make it on time to a friend's thesis final presentation
  • Broke my pannier bag clip trying to make the return journey in the same time
  • Had the pleasant company of graduating classmates over a steak dinner
  • Bought a $5 government subsidised helmet
  • Converted a 20+ page report (done mostly in the 8 hours before it was due) into 30 slides and got through my mid-thesis satisfactorily
  • Consulted with a classmate about my laziness/procrastination and whether it can be attributed to post-exchange syndrome

  1. hey you might be onto something there re post-exchange syndrome - i've never felt the same since coming back...guess its one negative aspect to take into consideration for future exchangers
