This blog started out as a recollection of my trip around Europe in 2010-11. That trip was inspired by the thought of a reunion with my cousins. However, being the busy adults they were, in the midsts of discussions, they were forced to drop out. Now where did that leave me? Did I still want to go it alone, when that was the issue that had stopped me from travelling all those other times? Seeing their situation, I knew I didn't want to look back and wish that I had travelled when I had the time. So on that rare stroke of decisiveness, I bought my ticket, just in case I reconsidered (which I usually did). And that's all there is to it. This blog is to document the worldly travels of Hayden as he explores the unknown.

Mission: To have the most amazing time seeing the world whilst I'm still young enough to not care so much about the future.

Uni. Sunday. Morning. These words do not go together...

It feels so weird (and wrong) to be at uni at 8:30am on a Sunday. It's a freakin' ghost town. Needed to come in for my Yellow Shirts interview which is in the arvo, but since there was a marathon on or whatnot, roads were closed off and I didn't want to run the risk of being late because of buses taking detours. As for the interview itself, I'm not as nervous as I was this last time last year. I guess it's because I've been through it, and know that I can make it. Plus, there'll be a lot more friendly faces this time around.

But while I'm here early, I might as well take the time to do some of my thesis. Word count currently at 3500 words. After reanalysing the data last night, I seem to have stumbled upon an interesting result. There appears to a significant interaction between saliency and surprise which, if I've done the correct analyses, will be the basis of my 5000 word discussion section. Fun.

HBL signing out.
