One week left of classes and one assignment to go! Our last major assignment was due today - we had to make a poster in a group about a major engineering project and assess its sustainability. Our group chose a building called "The Gauge" in Melbourne which is Australia's first building to be awarded 6 Green Stars for sustainability by the Green Building Council of Australia. Pretty interesting stuff considering it was built for the same cost as a regular A grade office building, showing that being green doesn't need to be any more expensive.
Last week I has the pleasure of presenting a short speech at the presentation of this year's UQ excellence and QRC scholarships and meeting this year's recipients. I'm looking forward to seeing them around uni and at various events throughout the year.
In other news, the social touch football team I play in is having a truly amazing season. So far we haven't won a single game, however this is OBVIOUSLY because we're letting the other teams have a bit of a head start, to make it a bit more fair. We're improving though, we've only been losing by a margin of 5 points recently...to put this into perspective for anyone who doesn't play touch footy, 1 try is equal to 1 point. Pretty soon we'll have the Broncos scouts hassling us about contracts
