October 7-9: not very exciting..
Oct 7: Took the quiz for Beyond the Genome online, which went well, a bit of a rush. Also did some other things for university: grocery shopping, workout, and working on my blog. I was planning to cook too, but I couldn't find the energy...

August 9: Called home, did a bit of university work, and made some really ugly chocolate chip cookies (but they were delicious, so good enough). Someone came by today to fix the leak. Yeeey, now there's a literal hole in the...
Day 9: National Tree Day and a run
This morning I volunteered at National Tree Day in Harold Park. I planted a bunch of local plants and chatted with some other volunteers. I was surrounded by a group of people from the same office who were doing this as a morning activity, haha. One of…
Day 4: Blackwattle Bay Run
I ran around from my house to Blackwattle Bay, beautiful view! And got a small heater, because it gets quite cold in the evenings (most Australian houses have no heating and poor insulation).
