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

epic bus fail

After work... which was a nice intro loading 5 small PCBs...
the delayed 5:44 900 bus to Caulfield decides not to stop for me. (This happens to be at a Smart Bus stop too!) They decided to stop about 100 metres ahead, which I didn't particularly feel like going up to in the rain. It was so epically late that I had already missed my connection. So instead I joined two other people on the following 5:59 service. Bummed around under the Law library until it was about time...
waited..
   waited....
6:23 733 bus to Box Hill decided to show up at 6:45. I probably could have made it back faster by going to Blackburn first.
Heh... must be a sign that I'm not supposed to finish that essay early that's due tomorrow.
