So recently we got hit by a massive storm. Considering what happened the last time we had a bit of lightning I think my panicked reaction was completely justified and I don’t think unplugging every single appliance I own was overkill. Thankfully the storm seemed to miss the Village and chose instead to wreak vengeance on the surrounding neighbourhoods, leaving some suburbs without power for up to three days.

So the survivors of the so-called “Great Storm of Perth” were understandably dismayed when another storm warning was issued the next day and it got more and more tense as we approached the afternoon. Obviously Perth weather really likes to mess with people as it was a beautiful day with only a few fluffy clouds floating about in the warm breeze and not a storm in sight. The point I guess I’m trying to make is that A) you can’t trust the weather people and B) you can’t trust the weather, people.

Otherwise Murdoch seems to be going on pretty much as normal. You may have noticed the chalk drawings in the photos below. I have been asked if I have anything to do with them and I can honestly say I have not. From what I have pieced together it is part of a Murdoch initiative called “Campus Encounters” that will presumably give away more information on the 29^th of March as suggested by the date in one of the photos.

Finally I thought I would end this update by talking about an exciting project called 365 postcards. Some of you may remember Kacy Mateljan from the blogging competition last year. Kacy has embarked on a pretty cool new project where she plans to send out one postcard a day for an entire year to anyone that sends her their address. Please head over to her blog and read up on it 365 Postcards

Also on a serious note some stuff has changed with the blog. Please check out this page for some important news.
