Delayed gratification

Hey trusty network of readers/reader. Sorry I've been so horrible with updating lately. To be honest, there's been a dearth of excitement in my life, and it couldn't have been reflected better than by not typing anything.
Our PBL room, the discussion room where I always study since 18 of us (though I'm one of 5 who actually use it, definitely the most) have 24-hr swipe-card access to a box with many text books, tables, a computer, a white board, and unopenable windows, has been my life. I have been there every day for the last 25 days. EVERY DAY. I've finally finished my way through the tome that is our practice exam booklet. At $46.25 (AUD), spanning 8 years and at least a kilo or two and several inches, this epic volume has been my pursuit the last 3 weeks. I know - it's horribly depressing.
Other than studying, I've been eating, reading, internetting, and a spat of biking and socializing.
Tomorrow (that's a Sunday) we have a multi-station exam at the hospital, where we will have to physical/history taking/ethics and other random stuff. Then Tues and Weds we have the finals. And then I'll be happy.

It's Tuesday night, getting ready to go to sleep before the big one tomorrow.. woot woot! Just wanted to post a pic or two that I took recently... really just because I can. I guess I was inspired to take photos because I'm leaving soon... or because I wanted to brush up on my photography skillz to get ready for my big trip. Jacaranda's are in bloom these days - it's a sweet tree with an amazing purpleness to it that's everywhere these days in Brissy.
This is the view I get every time I cycle back and forth to school... you can see why I ride and why I live in Brisbane, eh?This is what the Jacaranda looks likeThis is what it looks like if I use the nifty 'color accent' function... I think it's pretty coolI walk past this sign every day to get to my building and always laugh and think about taking a picture. Well I finally did! How awesome is my university that it has a Centre of Excellence for Integrative Legume Research? I mean, obviously if you're going to have a centre for integrative legume research, it's going to be excellent.This is right after sunset on the river... jacarandas are at the opposite bankI came across this picture in a physiology book. It made me laugh, though it is irrelevant to this post.And this is where I lock my bike up every day. No, the irony is never lost on me.
