Academic Week 6

So this week I've been really busy with coursework, but after a stressful start to the week with a presentation on Monday I've managed to balance work and play, on Tuesday Tord and I went to the lagoon for a post-lecture relax:

A new garden has opened at Southbank, it has everything from Mangoes and Paw-paws to Cabbages and Coffee Beans:

 

 

 

As always, I continued to be impressed with Griffith and life at Nathan Campus, there's always free food, entertainment or just something to do. On Wednesday I enjoyed a free serving of chilli with nachos, a diet coke and a freshly-made strawberry and mint smoothie while strolling around the on-campus market:

I was really tired after a long session at the library, but I always love waking up from a nap to this view:

On Friday the residential colleges KGBC threw a paint party in the lane. It got very messy but was a load of fun:

I think it's fair to say we'll all still be blue and green for a week...

Anna, Tord and I bought tickets for the Cultural Gala and it was definitely worth $10! It included 2 welcome drinks, a selection of starters and 2 main meals, cultural performances, a fashion show, DJ and dancefloor and a photobooth (which was our favourite):

In the photobooth, also with Dom and Dianna:

The Birsbane Festival started this weekend, so i'm looking forward to seeing some of the things it has to offer, it's on for most of the month so I'm sure there'll be some pictures up here soon :)

This is the Southbank schedule:
