I ordered a meal at a restaurant in Chinese and when I was done the waitress said to me "Well done."

 

I've still a long way to go to be able to sound authentic...

Today I decided to wear shorts - It was an unfortunate day to do something like that.

 

I got up at 6.30 am to go to uni (normal time) and found that for the first time my car was so frozen that the seals were stuck to the car and the wipers to the windscreen. I had to pry open the boot and doors and slowly work away at getting my wipers movable. It goes without saying that the walk to uni was numbing =).

 

A long term injury I picked up in my right wrist is starting to ache again...

 

I checked the met service and aparrently it was 4 degC this morning. Tomorrow is going to be 3 degC. On Wednesday overnight temperatures are predicted to go down to 1 degC. I dont' think Auckland has been that cold before. If it goes much lower Auckland can have permanent snow! I was also surprised to see that last night, just 1 hour south of Auckland (Hamilton) was at -3 degC. Times are changing.

Today was Enginuity Day at the University of Auckland, a day when the Engineering faculty holds an event to advertise to high school girls the wonderful opportunities and future for them in Engineering. I helped out with the Civil Engineering activity - Building Truss and Suspension bridges with flexible plastic pieces resembling Lego Technic. It was quite enjoyable to be involved in leading the activity and talking (advertising) about Civil Engineering. The teams worked well together with 2 teams building bridges stronger than we could load! I was surprised how many girls came from for away places (out of Auckland) for this event.

I'm sure there are many many funny things on youtube - this is one I stumbled across, it's called

 

Ball Girl Makes Incredible Catch

 

Ahaha! Funny.
