29 Nov – 1 Dec: Canberra
The capital (they couldn't agree on Sydney and Melbourne, so they chose something in between) November 29–December 1: Went to Canberra with Cynthia. Yes, I know everyone says Canberra isn't worth it, but come on…

1-7 Nov: Studying and SUMS concert
I had once again postponed/underestimated an assignment (poster + presentation + quiz for another subject), so I spent quite a bit of time at the library. One day I even finished it really late, like late at night... It's good that the library...
End of October recap
Hello, hello, as you've probably noticed, keeping up with the blog hasn't been going very smoothly lately. The more the backlog built up, the more difficult it became to catch up, and the easier it was to…
Oct 13-15: uni and friends..
Oct 13: Yeah, actually a bit disappointing, not much done. Another fight with slugs in the kitchen. Played guitar and worked a bit on a neuroscience group assignment. Oct 14: Beyond the Genome Lab, but my lab partner (Tanya) was sick, so with Sophie (previous…
Oct 10-12: SUMS Y2Kamp..
Oct 10: Arthur's birthday!! He's in Brisbane now. This morning I gave Cailene another guitar lesson; it's going better already, and she's still enjoying it, thankfully :). After a workout and packing my bag, I headed to the station…
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...
Sea Cliff Bridge..
Yesterday I didn't do anything exciting, just watched a few lectures, did some laundry, and played guitar. Today I went to the Sea Cliff Bridge, a bridge that partially overhangs the sea. We'd seen some beautiful photos of it, but the cloudy sky made it...
Kiama blowhole..
Didn't do much yesterday. Today we (Cynthia, Cailene, Angela, Sunny, and a friend of Cynthia's) went to Wollongong and Kiama, a bit south of Sydney. A two-hour train ride. I got to the train on time, but the...
Cairns: Kuranda and Botanical Garden
We got up early (4:45 a.m.) because we had to leave early to get to our destination on time. We saw a lot of bats! After a bit of a delay, we left around 5:35 a.m. I fell asleep again in the car. At Smithfield Terminal…
Cairns: Crocodiles and Rainforest
In the morning, I went to "The Hat House," a shop owned by the mother of a friend of ours. It was quite a nice shop, with all sorts of artwork, plants, hats, of course, and souvenirs. I have a crocodile magnet with a place name on it...
