Marking is over, the journey begins

SO the interminable ordeal is over! Calooha callay! Now for PhD in all seriousness. I've got to get the bum down, the head down and get super serious over summer. I wonder how successful I shall be?
In other news, the lovely Martin Thomlinson had a research project in the inner city where he and Andrew had residents display their energy usage on blackboards in an attempt to reduce power usage. It worked. Well done guys!
Andy Dong has won a research fellowship and will be doing that for the next few years. And Rob Saunders is writing a paper on computational creativity. It's all good news on the University front.
Except Irene has lost her supervisors, which is not good news. She's a bit stuck in her project, and I don't think anyone there works harder.
Lucila graduated. Hooray for the Brazilian! But unfortunately her mum died and she didn't make the ceremony.
We had our screening night at TAFE last night. About 10 minutes into the first half the fire alarm goes off and we all had to evacuate! How funny! I'm very proud of Paul Beattie and Shaba Sanai for their animations. Wow. I feel either I am getting better as a teacher, or they are just two exceptional students. Well done on the animations, guys.
