My social and leisure lives have not been very active for the past few weeks as homework has been taking up most of my time. Readings for my two geology subjects have been taking me ages to read and I have been dwelling on the data given to me for my Honours project. I didn’t even get to watch any of the Commonwealth Games on TV. I’ll will be off to Western Victoria and Mt Gambier, SA for a three day volcanology field trip tomorrow. I am not looking forward to it, but hopefully it will give me a break from my mac.

I have been extremely busy over the last couple of days and its all uni stuff. Got the first set of data (only a third of the whole thing) for my research project and hell, it was big. It’s 5 megabytes and my iBook takes a minute to do a simple sorting task since it’s only got 256 MB RAM. We have four computers at home and the fastest one at the moment is my dad’s computer with lots of RAM - somewhere about 700 MB RAM. But he doesn’t have excel, so I can’t work on his computer. I need to get statistical analysis done by the start of next week so that I could start mapping, which I had forgotten how to do. So, the next few weeks will be me having fun at crunching data in bits and pieces.

WTF??
The theme for this is all stuffed up and i can’t access the server in hong kong properly.

Update: I have fixed the theme. I needed a proper ftp client to access the hk server.

Today, dad noticed that the wheel cover was missing. It was there on Tuesday, so that means that it got stolen on Wednesday. We don’t think that it got stole at home, since the suburb we’re living in is pretty safe, so the wheel must have been stolen while I was at uni yesterday. I was parking at the top level of one of the carparks near the Science and the Engineering areas at uni, where the all-day parking was located. I don’t understand why would anyone go up on the long flight of stairs just to steal something that isn’t worth stealing. The car we’ve got is an old Ford Festiva from 12 years ago and parts of it is covered in spiderwebs (yes, the car hasn’t been washed).

Another possibility is that the cover fell off when I went on the bumps too fast in the carpark. Often I couldn’t see where the bumps are so I go on it at 40 km/h. But I couldn’t hear anything despite my window was wide open. I hope this is not the case.

It was hard just deciding what I was going to have for lunch yesterday because there are so many cafes and restaurants in Glen Waverley. Chinese food was already eliminated from my list of options as I have had enough of it already, so the only other options were Mocha Joes, Purple Stone and Shine Cafe. After 10 minutes of wondering along Kingsway, I ended up going to the Shine cafe.

I had chicken and advocado, melted with morzella cheese with Turkish bread and sweet and sour sauce and green salad. Smelled so nice and it was warm when it was served.
