MS Moonlight Walk

Only 1 exam left so by about 8pm tonight I will have finished uni for another year! I can't believe I'm halfway through uni and how quickly it has gone, it seems like only yesterday I was sitting in the first year learning centre trying to understand thermodynamics.

Last week I volunteered at the MS Moonlight Walk which raised almost $80000 for people living with MS. There were quite a few colourful characters, one group being the 'Stormtroopers':



Better get back to studying for this last exam!

Civil Engineering Ball

On Thursday night I went to the CESA (civil engineering student association) and PSA (psychology student association) ball. The logic behind this seemingly strange combination is that civil engineering has lots of boys and psychology has lots of girls, so there's more of a gender balance if you put the 2 together. For any high school kids, uni isn't all work - almost every student organisation hosts a ball or a cocktail party so there's always something fun to look forward to. The photo is of one of me and one of my few female civil engineering friends (it was a masquerade ball by the way, so you don't think I'm a freak for wearing a mask)

SWOTVAC, Boeing and emus

It's SWOTVAC already! I'm not quite in panic mode yet but rest assured I will be by this time next week. 3 exams in 3 days, oh how I love exam block!

About 2 weeks ago I went to the Inaugural EAIT (Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology) Scholarship Student Seminar, which is basically just a long way of saying a dinner which was held at Custom's House for UQ scholarship holders. We heard from Mr John Duddy, Managing Director of Boeing Defence Australia, and were able to 'mingle' with other Boeing representatives, lecturers and fellow scholarship holders. It was a great night and hopefully the EAIT faculty will host another one in the future.

I forgot to post photos of the family road trip. I don't have any exciting ones to post other than this one I took of an emu family we saw out near Mitchell (which is a bit further west of Roma):
