attended my first uni lecture of the year; campus was packed like anything, not at all like in hobart.
FINALLY finalised my timetable, which is total, utter crap. 2 3-hr practical sessions back to back starting at 2pm and ending at 8pm. WTF!
i had several time slots to choose from, of course, but i had to keep my thursday evenings & fridays free for work, & the others were fully bked, which left me with only the tues 5-8pm slot for genomics as the other option clashed with my marine science prac.
was distracted during environment lect by 2 ppl who took turns at the front translating the lecture in sign language to one of the students, kept watching them do their thing instead of listening to the lecturer - pretty fascinating to see how quick they can translate all those technical terms

shore dives with students on saturday at the Tweed; viz was terrible, about 1-2m at best. 23 deg temp, pretty cold compared to prev few times. no current though.
woke at 4am on sun morning in preparation for boat dives at Cook island but found out that there were 3m swells at sea & the trip was cancelled :(

also went back to hobart 2 wks ago, met up with friends, packed up & sorted everything out with UTas

i need to dive more
