Welcome to the UWA node.live website! We are relaunching the site in 2009 to host a series of blogs written by UWA students - read what it's like to be a new first year, a mature-age student or a second year studying at UWA. Any UWA student can log-in to post a comment - happy reading!

How many of you turned up to the Link Week BBQ on the Oak Lawn today? For a free sausage? A free fruit juice? A free squeezy tomato sauce? A free ice cube, even?

Hello everyone
Today I want to talk about... no, that's mean: of course I will tell you about the title to this blog entry! I would be as curious as the proverbial cat wanting to know all about the insect and the tea and why on earth I have a waiter in my room bringing me said tea with said insect in it...
