final post

hey out there followers. I am sad to inform you that this is my last post for this term. It has been fun giving you the in depth details of my amazing life. I hope that all information i gave you on attending uni in Rocky has sunk in. i have just finished my first exam of this term and now i have my second one on Monday. Once that is done ill be all done. Hope to see more new faces around the uni next term, and remember that the place to go to uni is CQuniversity Rockhampton.


goodbye everyone

The post for week 10

So we are now in week 10 of this term and i am really excited to almost be done with it. I'm sitting here now with moo who, if you are one of my many fallowers.....haha......, you know is my cockatoo. Now this past week he did something really bad. As i was out of the house slaving away at work, he ate up my Internet stick, so now i have to come all the way to the uni to do work. So if anyone want a roasted cockatoo let me know...haha....just kidding.

On a different note if any one out there is really good at stats i could use a little help with the Chi squared stuff. I get the reason for doing it and all, but i cant get xcell to pump out the right numbers.

And on an even different note, i am pretty pumped that it started raining today. This could mean that it might get hot here soon, which means i can got surfing and kiting and live on a beach again.

Well if you know stats and want to give me a hand just post something on my blog

Thank u

The Post that never got posted

Hey everyone just thought i would actually post this one since i saved it in work and never put it up....i know nice work on my part.

So this week i was walking down the road and i notices this guy running. Then i noticed that he had no shoes on. This was a weird thing to see because he was wearing a running singlet and shorts, and he also looked like a runner. Then i looked again and he was wearing shoes that looked like feet. SO there's my exciting life story for this week.

So i am wondering how many people out there are actually reading my blog. So, i am asking anyone who is reading through these blogs to at least put up a post with some full stops in it or something. I think this blog has potential but it needs a kick start, and i think that even if lecturers or if the people high up in the university would give out a memo to post stuff on our blogs then we could really get this program going.

Well if you are reading this then you better post something on it.

Another Week Gone By

So I live with a cockatoo and every time it rains he does the weirdest thing. When it starts to rain he gets all excited and runs outside into the biggest puddle he can find and takes a bath. He then spreads his wings out and does a little dance. I posted a movie and some pics up with this post if you want to have a look.

On this past Friday I had my first big assessment due and I only just got it in on time. I forget how long it can take to do up all you referencing, and pretty up your assignment the way the lecturer wants it. So don’t make the same mistake I did and leave that part to the last minute.

Last week I also got tickets to go back to Alaska again. I’ll be there for two months of the winter and I can’t wait. I think one of the main things I miss about home is the snow. I guess it compares to the beach for someone who has lived in a place like Australia his or her whole lives. I can’t wait to go snowboarding, snow machining, building snowmen, and go hunting.

I think I miss hunting the most. I know most people here call it killing, and make it seem like that’s all hunters are, but in Alaska there is a real purpose to it. In the town I am from there are only about 500 people and most live off subsistence hunting. To get any imported meat cost way too much so people go out and get their own. So there’s a little background on what I plan to do over my summer holidays.

Uni Assessments :(

So this week I have 3 uni assessments due. This is what i warned you all about in previous post, don't let uni get ahead of you. This is probably the most common thing uni students encounter, but the secret is not to panic. The reason to hold your composer is that you are studying with hundreds of other uni students doing the same thing as you. Don't be afraid to ask for help cause some day down the line someone will need your help as well. Also, don't be afraid of your professors. Yes they may seem a bit intimidating in class, but when you get them one on one you can usually get on their soft side. One of my professors i had in my first term made a very good point. He said, "Your professors are like tools you can use to pass your courses. They are the product that you buy when you come to uni." He continued on explaining this for a long time and after i awoke from a quick nap he asked, "if we , professors, are not good products would you not complain or just stop shopping here?" So i better get back to my uni, but keep that point in mind and never let your professors tern you back when you need help. They get paid to teach us, not to scare us or make it hard to learn.

People of my gym

Well hello out there,

So today I added my newest member to the people of my gym. He is called "Tails", yeah that's a Sonic reference. He has this rat tail that is so long and unkempt it could help tailless possums all over Australia. The other members on my list are "The Screamer", "Buff Grandma", and my all time favorite "Copy Cat".

"The Screamer" is a man who, for some reason, can't help but let the rest of the gym know he is working out to the max. As he lift any weight or does any workout he yells so loud everyone stops to look at him. Now that was a bit of an exaggeration but you get my point.

"Buff Grandma" is an elderly lady who can lift more then I can. I've only seen her a few times, but i am ready to ask her for a training session. Think Arnold in his prime but as your grandmother.

Finally I come to "Copy Cat". He is probably up there with the strongest guys who go to any gym, but he insists on fallowing the smallest guy, who unfortunately was me last time, and doing the exact same workout only with huge weights. He was like my shadow that is cast down on the ground but is way bigger then you.

So that was a bit off topic but if anyone has something similar in their everyday life do share.

Sports Clubs

So this week is my third game of the beach volleyball season so on that note ill talk about joining clubs here in Rocky. I've noticed that the campus here in Rocky doesn't have many club sports set up at this moment in time. If you are into sports there are ways of working around this. I joined the ISA (Indoor Sports Arena) volleyball club and play competitive beach volleyball. There is also a Basketball club around town as well as many footy clubs. I found that by joining these clubs you can socialize with people who are interested in the same sports you are, and make a few friends and connections around town.



Last term a few friends and i made an indoor soccer team and played c grade soccer. That was a heap of fun. We had fun, got a good workout, and at the same got to know each other better. The best part about most sports here in Rocky or in Australia for that matter is that they can run year round. There are usually a few seasons every year for each sport, and at the volleyball courts we even switch up partners each season in order to mix it up and meet other players.



So when coming here to rocky be sure and look up a few sports you like to play and get out there and have fun. Sitting in your room all day doing uni is boring and it makes it hard to meet new people, make new friends and enjoy your time in Australia
