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.

This node group is for people who like watching movies and talking about them. We've got the support of Luna Cinemas via attendance at their media screenings. Please contact me on katie.ellis@uwa.edu.au if you'd like to attend a media screening and then post a short review of the film in this group.

But to get things started whats your favourite film and why? If you can't tie it down to one film, pick a genre!!

... in SuperSearch! It's limitless possibilities and endless connections to obscure fricking journals with tiny wee undergrad papers AND book reviews (what use is a BLOODY book review???? ) is driving me to the point of BASHING ON MY KEYBOARD VERY HARD, pushing my temples to stop my brain from exploding, grunt loudly at the computer, push my fingers as far into my stomach as I possibly can without it really properly hurting and wanting to jump out the window.

The Powerhouse Museum in Sydney has become the first museum in the world to release historical photographs for access as part of Flickr’s Commons Project.
