done like dinner

The fat lady has sung… that’s right the degree is over! So from this point on you can call me: Marc Hodges BSc(hons) MCom Man that’s a long name… I love it!! In an unrelated matter, I created a new superhero this morning… Hangover Man. He used to have a cape but lost it at [...]

so close I can taste it

Wow… there’s been a few links in between posts… no worries. Well I have just over 24 hours until I’m done my degree, I know that you’re all as excited as I am! It’s weird to think that I came down here for a specific purpose (do get my masters) and now that mission is [...]

caesar = garlic

Ok, when you order a caesar salad does it not contain garlic in the dressing? I was shocked to find out that in Australia caesar salads do not contain garlic in them!! Excuse me?!?! The only reason I started eating salads in the first place was because caesar salad had garlic in it, it’s how [...]

3 hours closer

Well I’ve written one of my two exams, I’m three hours closer to finishing this degree. Had a bit of a scare this morning b/c I tried to be early for a bus, but it ended up being earlier then me, so I had to find an alternate route to the exam room, I ended [...]

a.m. brain fart

Let me tell you how I’m not a morning person… someone called my place at 7:30 this morning, waking me up, and asking for Michael. The only rational thought I could think was “hey, I’m not Michael, they probably want my flatmate.” So I wake him up and tell him to get the phone. Oh [...]

photo-gasm

Well it arrived… last week I bought a set of Kenko extension tubes on eBay and it arrived today. For those of you that aren’t photo-savy, it means that I can lower my minimum focusing distance and take really close up shots! I like!!! So the question now remains… to I study for exams or [...]

exam time

Ok, so it’s been a few days since I last wrote something, but can you blame me? It’s been the end of semester which calls for celebrations and good times before the crunch of exams hits me. The weekend mainly consisted of spending lots of time with the girl (now that she’s done her thesis) [...]

friends are good

Oh man, it’s good having friends. Went out and celebrated my birthday last night with a few mates and needless to say, I brought in my 25th with style. My friends have a rule that you can’t be ‘double parked’ (ie have two drinks in your hands) and if you are, you have to skull [...]

oh no

ummmmm… riiiiiiiiight, does anything really need to be said about the US elections? Other than “oh crap” that is… should make for an interesting 4 years. Bring it on W!

Melbourne Cup

Yesterday the nation stopped for a horse race… you think I’m joking? Well there’s a horse race in Melbourne called the Melbourne Cup, naturally, and it’s the biggest single sporting event in Australia. You think I’m joking? The state that hosts the race, Victoria, actually gets a holiday! In the rest of the country they [...]

tired weekend

Wow… talk about a busy weekend. Life is pretty much none stop when it comes down to the end of the semester, especially if you try and keep all your social and frisbee commitments. Went to my first 21st on Friday, just incase you didn’t know, 21st b-days are REALLY huge down under. Don’t know [...]
