Our New place

Hi guys, here are some pictures from our new apartment in Southern Sydney.

This is the exterior of the building - it is in a complex with two others. The complex is 1 minute from the station, so it's pretty handy.

This is our living/dining area - and there is a huge entry area we have yet to make use of yet.

It's so nice to have a proper kitchen, with gas cook top and a dishwasher!! We have been cooking lots - see the food blog...

This is my new desk and entrance to ensuite bathroom.

At a recent hotpot party...

The rest of the living area with the TV and dvds etc.

More of my room (new bed too)

Sandrine's room - very nice!

And Kates! You can't see it, but she has a new desk, and a really big spacious wardrobe!

So now people have seen it, come visit us! We will be happy to cook for you (until we get sick of cooking and cleaning up!)

Thesis result and...

Hi all, just a quick note to let everyone know i recieved my thesis result. It was double marked; the first marker was outside my uni, and a recent PhD from UOW now working at UQ. His comments were quite good, but he reccomended a mark of 81%. The second marker was the head CCS professor at my uni, and internationally renowned - also known as a hard marker. He suggested a mark of 90%!, and in the end, considering my coursework i ended up with an 85% for the year - which means a 1st class honors! :) So thats good news after a lot of hard work.

We signed the lease on Wednesday, so that was good too. On thursday we had a few pieces of bad news, and i managed to cut myself across the second knuckle on my right index finger - needing 3 stitches. So that wasn't so fun.

Otherwise not tooooo much on, just packing, trying to diagnose kates car problems, and a few other bits and pieces. Will be moving up to Rockdale in southern Sydney next thursday.
