Smart Chicks

Got to go to the "Smart Women, Smart State Awards" for 2007 last night. The awards recognise women in Science, Engineering and Information and Communication Technology. Heaps of awards were given out to students and business people. Nominees were from all over the state. There were a fair few from FNQ and some of the projects that women received awards for are stuff we are doing in uni at the moment...Ross River Dam in Townsville, etc.

It was held at the State Library which is an amazing venue. So overall it was a pretty interesting night!

Miniball 07

One of the funnest nights of the year on the Union College social calendar. It's pretty much just a "dress up as anything" night. Check out my "Queen of Hearts" costume. That was some serious hours of poking needles into my fingers...but happy with it in the end. Other people went as Men in Tights, Male Netballers (compliments of our college netball dresses), soccer hooligans (just an excuse to be rowdy) and heaps of other stuff I won't mention here.
We had the whole top floor of The Fox to ourselves. Pretty cool venue, with the sides opened up so we could all get rowdy...as that is what collegians do best!

Origin 3 and Broncos-Titans

Went to my first Origin match this year. Origin 1 with college friends then my family flew down for Game 3. Game 1 was awesome. First time I've ever been to Suncorp Stadium aswell...as a civil engineering kid at heart I was pretty amazed by it. Went to a Broncos-Titans match aswell, golden point win. Pretty exciting!

Sunday, Bloody Sunday: Mr Bush does a great job of this classic ("Let's roll", 1:22min, funniest line of the clip, just cracks me up)

Willy Mason: We can be strong (a beautiful song, fantastic chorus and no, it is not the footballer Willie Mason)

This song gets anyone in the best mood! Awesome clip too (piece of advice: don't learn the words, way funner to yell incohesive noises to the music)
