I finally got around to uploading it…

Finally I did it. Finally after finishing over 6 months ago the ceremony came. I could go on and on about the experience but we all know pictures are worth a thousand words. I will tell you something though. We had the worst hotel experience ever. First of all there was a bad smell…pretty much a smokers room. We were never informed of this. There was also no toilet roll holder, a really saggy futon bed and a cockroach in the bathroom. Never again will we stay at Sky Accomodation Wollongong. We were prepared to pay for the one night but when we left we had to pay a cancellation fee. Fair enough but the managers were not understanding about our experience. Anyway, enough about the hotel…here’s the happy pictures.

Back at my home university, University of Wollongong, sleeping in lectures is a common practice and does not seem to be frowned upon by your fellow peers or professors. I was once the sleeper in my first year but I learnt that you should sleep in a bed, after all it is more comfortable. Well anyway, my friend sent me a picture of a guy dozing off in a database lecture and somebody actually took a mini video of his little sleeping spell. Fellow peers then proceeded to rate his sleep. See for yourself:

Position: 9.2 (There’s no table. it’s a book, therefore soft surface) Depth of sleep: 7.5 (His shoulders still look quite tight) Level of difficulty: 9.2 Total score: 9.2 Position: 7.6 (certainly uncomfortable, however he’s using soft book, and falling into the table instead of sleeping backwards). Depth of sleep: 8.2 (have to disagree with the others, the sports bag next to him implies that he is in deep sleep after an exhausting amount of exercise. Level of difficulty: 8 Total score: 7.93 repeater!

And of course to top it off we have the youtube vid:

Well I’m sitting here all alone. Vanessa has just gone out to see some friends and Courtney has gone to church. Tonight is the last night I’ll ever be with them here at uni. Such a sad day, however all my roommates have taught me a great lesson. This lesson is to open your door to everyone, don’t shut people out but let them in! There is without a doubt that Courtney, Julien, Vanessa and Mariah have changed my life and I thank them so much for this. I’ll most definitely have the opportunity to see everyone again in the US - bar Julien, which he is thinking about coming to Albury towards the end of July (which would be great). In memoriam of Autumn semester 2007 at UOW and my final semester at UOW also (!), I leave a tribute to the “family”.

Let me just start off with a congratulations to ‘nexus’ on being voted “Most Popular Choice Trade Fair Prize 2006″. Our team, ‘numex’ came in at second and ‘Meditracker’ came in at 3rd. So overall it was unexpected but it was the best feeling I’ve had at uni. The trade fair is such an exciting event and I learnt a lot from it and I’m sure many of the other students did too. Below is few photos of most of the numex team

Looking all professional…

This time with Henry the gangsta

Some people just have to be in all the photos

After the trade fair, celebrations kicked in immediately, with some teams heading to the uni bar. Pia and I first headed down to the local bottle-o for some pre-drinks and a satisfying chinese dinner. Matt me up with us and after much contemplation he decided to stay and we drank up. Later on in the night, Jeff and Zeynep came and picked us up (how nice of them ) and dropped us off at glassy. This being about 10pm it was still very quiet. We were trying to chase Baafi down all this time and he wasn’t even there!!!!! So then we walked to Coonies. After a not so inviting $10 entrance fee it started to be ok. Although the music wasn’t great I had fun by forgetting about uni work for once in my life.

At around midnight if I can recall correctly (!), Jason rocks up with John and Eddy wasted as anything and attempt to enter Coonies. To no avail we spent a bit longer at Coonies before we headed off home. I then cooked some pork sausages for the after grog snack and then went to bed after we all shut up.

Saturday 21st October (Almost late afternoon…lol):
Pia and I woke up at about midday but just lay there talking until about 3. This was about the time we decided to leave soon hahaha because Mark’s gig started at 8:30 or something at the Excelsior Hotel in Glebe. We got to Sydney at around 5pm and we were so tired it was unbelievable. The gig was great, I got to hear the band Saving Grace. Photos of the night are available at Mark’s myspace.

Sunday 22nd October:
Woke up late again since coming home late from the gig. After two years of being around Sydney, Pia and I decided to walk the harbour bridge. Liza came along to which was good. It was really windy but the exercise was great, especially when you walk towards The Rocks and go to the Circular Quay maccas . After looking at the markets, we decided to walk back again. My legs killed!!! Pia did her shopping then we went to church. That was about it really. That was pretty much a fun filled weekend. It will be Pia’s 20th on Wednesday and karaoke on Saturday!!! Yay can’t wait. Anyway, here’s a pic I took while we were on the bridge.

They always walk too fast

Today:
I’m just gonna post up a few more pics taken over the last 2 weeks and the entire semester. So enjoy guys.

I think I’ve seen that before…
