01.11.2001 – Thursday 1 November – Math Exam
- • Sat two 3-hour Math exams. It wasn’t the most fun day. I won’t know the results for some time.
02.11.2001 – Friday 2 November to Wednesday 7 November (6 days) – Study in Cairns
- • I studied (in Cairns), stressed and practised having a break down. Considered a mid-life crisis but figured would have nothing left to do next time needed to stress.
08.11.2001 – Thursday 8 November – Physics Exam
- • Sat two 2 hour 40 minute physics exams. A relief to have them finished.
09.11.2001 – In between above and below (5 days) – Cairns and movies
- Movies
- • Watched several movies at the theatre, generally managing to overdose quite well...ooh neck; always sit in the front row. For those technically minded people, I saw “Lantana”; “The Tailor of Panama”; “Enigma”; “Rush Hour 2”; “The Truth About Cats and Dogs”; “Legally Blonde”; “Scary Movie 2” and “Training Day”, over 3 days.
- Food
- • Went to a few restaurants, drank some good coffee and various other things most people do all the time, but am unable to do living in a remote area. To put it generally, spent lots of money.
14.11.2001 – Wednesday 14 November – Silas’s accident
- • Bought a Leatherman Wave (external link). While just sitting down preparing to have dinner with a friend, waiting for another friend to show, a car at an intersection nearby was violently run over by a city bus. Ended up being my friend. He was stopped at the lights, they had just turned green, and a city bus came from behind and simply never stopped. It made a nasty mess of his sedan. He wasn’t injured apart from a very sore neck. The car was destroyed. Closed two lanes of traffic and was worrying enough to require 2 fire engines. Very exciting ;–)

- I was sitting with Dale. The friend who was hit was Silas.
15.11.2001 – Thursday 15 November – Home from Cairns
- • Caught an early taxi to the airport and flew back to Cooktown. Uneventful flight, very cloudy, mildly bumpy. 8 seater Cessna Titan.
16.11.2001 – Friday 16 November
- • Back Home, it has begun to rain. Badly need it, very dry. Dustforest doesn’t sound the same as Rainforest. Taking next week off and doing nothing whatsoever. Except that which I do.
17.11.2001 – Saturday 17 November to Friday 30 November (14 days)
- • Relaxed.
