As is the nature of my messed up sleeping pattern, I stumbled into the kitchen this morning (ie. afternoon) to make breakfast and heard something along the lines of, "Kevin Rudd, the former Prime Minister," coming from the radio. I know there's been so many rumours going around on a potential change of leadership, but I never really considered it a ( Read more... )

THE DAY OF RECKONING.

Actually, I'm so tired right now that I almost smacked my head on the table when I closed my eyes before. However, if I don't blog about this now, I'm quite sure that sheer laziness will take over tomorrow and it will become yet another dot point on the To-Do-List. The reason for my sleep deprivation is due to a mix of ( Read more... )

I have this one subject that is called Environmental Impact Assessment and Management Systems that I thought would be a complete pushover (as most environmental subjects are to environmental engineers). However, it seems anything but easy, now that we've found out our main project will ultimately be a 150 page government-like document on a topic ( Read more... )

I wish my group member didn't have such terrible grammar.
I also wish he wasn't a chemical engineer doing an environmental subject because only environmental engineers know how to be environmental engineers. It annoys me incredibly when people are unable to understand that every bottle you recycle, every kilometre you don't drive and every light you ( Read more... )

This is truly the start of something new.

And that is the extent of my stressing today. IS THAT AMAZING OR WHAT?! I'm not really sure if doing it in advance has made me less stressed or not, ( Read more... )

Hello Mr. Obama.

--

I'm really excited as to what his foreign policies will bring.

Kyoto Protocol, please.

 I think I died and reincarnated today. I truly do believe that.

So Steve and Jeyard picked me up for our wretched hike. Again, I reiterate hiking, as opposed to bush walking. On the drive to the Dandenong Ranges, Steve made us listen to high-beat music in a bid to get us pumped up, which worked for Jeyard, but I of course was already able to ( Read more... )

 So I'm having a really 'Holy Guacamole' day. And no, I am not an idiot for saying that phrase because I would have you know that it's a very cool phrase to say.

On to something not so guacamole first.

Due to my efforts at procrastination, I logged onto the Mount Franklin 'Well of Positivity' website yesterday. They've since finished their goal to ( Read more... )

Did you know:

The last 12 years have the been the warmest in the past century.
70-75% of global warming comes from the burning of fossil fuels, that is gas and coal.
Coal is a main energy provider, but it only provides 40% of world energy needs.
Coal is popular because it's cheap.
Developing countries will require massive amounts of energy in the coming ( Read more... )
