University Results
I'm freakin wrapped with these results a HD in Remote Sensing was pretty unexpected, Advanced GIS was the one that I expected the highest score with. Well all the hard study paid off. GPA of 5.5 is pretty good to, I don't usually gloat but hay only once.. Maybe a Masters down the track, just need to think of my theses. Environmental stuff is always a good area. (dam greens)

Storm 4:30 pm on 16th Nov 2008 The Gap, Qld
At the time we just thought it was a usual Brissy storm, come and go and just leave alot of water behind. (NOT)

It was at 4:30pm on the 16th Nov when it became really dark and a storm hit like nothing else that either of us had witnessed before. We had been in a small cyclon in Darwin which was nothing compared to this. This storm was pretty intence and only lasted for about 5-10 min. During the time hail was hitting the South side of the house and we couldn't even hear each other talking. We both closed everthing that would let any air in and headed for the middle bedroom, also the safest from any trees that could fall. We started to get an idea that this was no normal storm when we couldn't see anything but a white sheet of hail and rain out the window. The houses over the road couldn't be seen, infact we couldn't see anything. The dog was barking at the pounding of the rain and hail on the windows. Tan and I didn't no what to do. Before we knew it the storm or what ever it was passed heading towards Ferny Grove and Samford at a rate of knots not known. After it passed and this is like 2 minutes later we could go outside, well the pictures below should give you some idea of the damage it did in the short time. I believe that we were very lucky mostly protected from the shops on our South side, this can be seen from the amount of damage our neighbors copped they had 5 trees fall none on their house but into their neighbors house and pool.
Just as the storm was finishing our backyard with a sign from the shops seen here behind the right post.

Boot the Smokes
Week Three
I do know whether its because all the study is over but this week proved to be the hardest of them all. I still haven't had a smoke but hav being thinking about it more even with the storm and stuff. The Nicorette is doing the job still, taking aroung 2-3 a day. Another good thing about quiting is the money saved on darbes too.
Week Two
Still haven't had a smoke even with the pressure of Uni exams. The gum is working well still and only having on average 3 a day which isn't many at all. The big test will be this Friday 14th when I have a beer after finishing the last exam. Some of my Uni mates smoke but I will have to be strong a say no. The eating has increased but I'm tring to eat fruit and not chips Tan keeps buying chips so its a bit hard. CYA at week 3.
Week One
Well I've given up the Fags, Smokes, Lung Busters, Darbes or what ever you chose to call them. Hopefully it goes better than last time. I ended up in hospital for three days and they said I had Asmatha. I'm not even missing the smokes and its being one week. I went out and got some Nicorette gum and this stuff works a treat. Will keep you posted on the weeks as they tick down...
Who wants to end up like this Cool cat man.
