I soooo know what Lisa is talking about.  It seems that I spent my whole life preparing to get INTO university and now I've been here for one Semester it has just gone by in a flash.  Have I really completed half my first year??

This is *sort* of related to Katie's post below..[begin promotion :)]  Did you know that the Study Smarter workshops are now available free via iTunes?  You could always get them via the Lectopia website but now you can subscribe and manage the recordings the iTunesU.  way cool (IMHO)

2008 sees the 10th anniversary of the MP3 player and the launch of the apple iphone. These devices are becoming more and more important in our lives and our education. Yet the iphone and itunes is generally regarded as highly inaccessible. The good news is T&T consultancy are doing something about this, but is it enough? 

anyone know when the Semester 1 exam results are out...?  I keep getting asked!!

not only does the mid-year break mean free parking in yellow bays (good news for all those post grads out there) but it means half the year has gone which often comes as a surprise to some students - particularly first years!

It's true - blogging makes you happy. This is the finding of Masters student, James Baker, from Swinburne University. He did some on-line surveys and discovered that people who blogged regularly were more content. People who responded that they intended to blog but didn't, were more distressed. The bloggers said that they felt more connected socially online and they were also more satisfied with their offline friends.

So go for it -get blogging on node and feel happier!

I am bored.

But not because I don't have anything to but because ... I'm not sure.

There are two essays (2,000 and 3,000 words respectively), one assignment and the usual lines of Latin waiting patiently for me. Yet ... I am bored.  

Guess my brain has wisened up and decided it will be bored not only when there is nothing to do but when there is nothing of interest to do! Damn, I'm smart!

...

I'm still bored though ... 

Many people on campus were saddened today to hear of the death on Saturday of UWA's first, and only, female Vice Chancellor, Professor Fay Gale. Fay was a great champion of women's rights and led by example. It wasn't always easy at the top but her quiet courage gained her the respect of many. Rest in peace, Fay.

Why, hello there!

Long time no ... reading of my blog! I hope that I haven't upset my masses of fans out there by not posting in the last few weeks! I do apologise for the break in communication - as the title of this entry states: Time flies.

Which is good and bad.
