What This Feels Like

Today, like most days, we woke up between 7:30 and 8:00. Our exam started at 9:30 and finished at 14:30. We then had a quick lunch, then a problem session where we went through the exam. Now, Jarrah has told us to go to the labs and code some more problems for a few hours.

Jarrah compared us to marathon runners. He says, like marathon runners, we do lots and lots of training before the event, then we rest for a week. He says this is the intensive training period. I said that it felt like every day, we run a marathon. Then we painstakingly track our progress in the marathon and note every little detail of our run. Then we are made to run on a treadmill for another three hours.

So.. so.. tired...

Goodbye, ERHU, UNSW and Australia... Hello Italy! (via Dubai)

Express blog post: we're about to say goodbye to the ERHU lab. We've had a great time at UNSW training over the last week and within a few hours, will be on board a flight headed to Italy! Can't wait ^_^
