Uni Days


Busy corridors surround the University of Queensland Great Court. Visiting there almost made me want to be a student again. Hanging out on the grass in the shade... drinking freshly blended ice cold juices, eating at cafes and chatting.

Actually it seemed like it was a lot more civilised than my Uni days but we won't go into that.

    Did you hear the music from "Chariots of Fire"? :-)

  4. and even more than mine...

    the BIG difference I note every time I am there is that there are students at lunch time all over the grass with computers in their laps.

    I studied Maths...Pure, Applied and Stats, and we didn't even use a computer when I was there! Not a laptop , not a pc, nor even a larger system.

    When I went to work after I graduated, we had to punch cards and send off programs to run at a computer in Canberra overnight. They would come back next morning, and often it was "Oh bother, I made a mistake there...have to send it back again to run tonight".

    Ah, those were the days.
    Not.

    But it is a great place. Especially the sandstone buildings.
