Now what?

I submitted my thesis last Thursday and headed to the uni bar for a few celebratory drinks. Alas, most of my friends from the Research School of Chemistry were overseas at a conference, but fortunately Jen had just returned from her two year stint in the States and happened to be in Canberra for the day. After a relatively long session at the uni bar we headed to dinner in Dickson with Tracey, Elene, and Linden. This, of course, was followed by more drinks at our old watering hole O'Neills for some 'almost half price' pints. It was good to see the old gang again. Whats more, it turns out Leah is coming back this weekend. Super!

This is a terrible photo - not the people in it, nor the fact I was too drunk to realise the auto flash was turned off, but because all the glasses are empty. Shame...shame on us all.

Theses Bitches!

 Here we have it, finally done. Four theses ready for submission. It has taken waaaay too long, but I'm cool with that.

It is pretty exciting stuff, I probably shouldn't be making that figure in the background pubic just yet, its a key mechanism that we haven't published yet.

 

Titled "Computational Modeling of the Water Oxidising Complex in Photosystem II", you can just tell it will be a riveting read. Perhaps I will look at it again at sometime in the next decade or two.

Not as pretty as it tastes

The other night I cooked up some crab (three actually). It was difficult to eat and I get the feeling I didn't get the meat out correctly, but it was super tasty. Slightly intimidating though, I kind of kept on expecting my dinner to bite me back.
