Ramblings, Musings and Photographic Moments of my Life
I’ve been pretty bad this week with no photos 🙁 Unforetunately I’ve whatever time I haven’t spent at uni I’ve been at work.
But in other exciting news, I suppose I could share this screenshot.
That’s right folks, I’ve been going through the application procedure for exchange since October last year. Formally have an offer to study at the University of Sheffield in the UK. So come the second half of this year hopefully there will be piles of photos involving European travels… and snow!!
Most people are aware that the University of Sydney is based around Oxford and Cambridge in the UK. However, what they aren’t so much aware of is the extent to which the founders sought to emulate these institutions (something I found ironic given that the founders of Sydney were educated at St Andrews University in Scotland). In fact, the stained glass windows in the Great Hall are called the Oxford and Cambridge windows as they depict the founders of each of the colleges at Oxford and Cambridge respectively.
Here we have a shot of the Oxford window.
You can read more about the stained glass windows over at the university website.
Took delivery of my first UWA lens, decided to get out of the house and away from assessments/constantly being in the office and grabbed these shots.
Taking a break from a hectic work schedule, took some downtime to chill at a Chopsticks game night. And what better way then to relax than to get frustrated over my inability to do anything related to origami successfully.
So I was headed back home after a day at work (yes, believe it or not, working over the Easter Break) when I saw this roller just chilling in the Graffiti Tunnel. More iPhone goodness this week!
Crazy amounts of work happening so the best I’ve managed is yet another iPhone photo. As Chase Jarvis says the best camera is the one you have with you.
Something went a little off when I exported this photo, looks a bit weird to me. Aperture isn’t my main program that I use so I’m not quite sure what was going on – I just use Aperture because of the amazing integration Apple provides with Photo Stream.
Photo for this week (yay, back to one photo) was actually taken on my iPhone while I was waiting down at Darling Harbour and got bored. I think it turned out alright.
And back out I go to the Blue Mountains. But this time for the annual Chopsticks Camp! And what’s Chopsticks camp without a little bit of fun competition?
Well what an eventful week, right after O-Week, the NTEU agreed to hold a 24hr strike over the new enterprise agreement that the university wants them to sign. Of course I rocked up with a camera. Here’s a collection of photos.
Made it back to Sydney just in time for O-Week, the start of the university calendar and always great fun. And my plan of one photo a week hasn’t exactly worked out to plan so have four!
