Trigonometry and Circular Functions
Hello from Sydney! I'm here for the weekend, to do maths - 3 day revision course. We got to Avalon at 4am this morning to get on the plane. The sunrise was surreal.
Sydney is different to Melbourne. There are more bird noises, and the gum trees smell more strongly. Streets around the University of Sydney are beautiful. They have doubledecker trains! And I miss trams. And the 'graphic design' of the city (e.g. the underpass below Central Station), is very - I can't pinpoint the decade, but it's not the noughties. Feels like it flourished earlier than Melbourne, but is now in slight disarray. Endless flats in warm tones... It's all dirty, and grubby, and bustling where I am right now, posters peeling off stone walls. I've been wandering around Newtown (equivalent of St Kilda, I think?), checking out bookshops. There was a monumental secondhand one - full of old comic books, nooks, crannies, mezzanines, storeys. Absolutely grand.
'Night.
