Tomorrow will be the annual graduate student conference at BoZo, so everyone will have to give a 15min presentation on their research. I have been working on my presentation for about 2 weeks now and can't wait to get it over with so I can focus on other things again. It has been good to work on, however, since it really got me to focus on pounding out results, even though there really were none to get excited about.
After the conference (I am second to last, ugh), BoZo will hold its annual Quiz and Curry Night. Curry is very popular in Australia, and everyone seems to know how to cook one (perhaps a little like burritos in the US?). Since I had never made one before, I asked the Vietnamese chef at Johns, Mai, to help me out. She let me use the kitchen and supplied me with everything I needed, including lots of help! I still need to somehow steam the veggies tonight, so hopefully I won't ruin her very nice sauce!
College is pretty neat right now since it is so quiet and empty. Tonight at dinner everyone almost fit in one table. Two days ago I walked into the JCR (Junior Common Room)-- it was empty and the TV was turned off, probably for the first time this entire year. I then realised, that for the first time since February, I could actually watch anything I wanted! I also noticed the unused ping pong table, complete with two paddles and a ball! It was so wonderful, just like my own private entertainment room! I can't wait until after my presentation when I have time to try to find someone around to play ping pong with. I also want to sneak into the SCR (Senior Common Room) with Seth (since we have the master key) and make fancy tea and watch movies :o) Oh, if only there were lots of time!
