I'm lonely, and my phone just went flat.

Yeah the title pretty much says it all. It's 4 in the afternoon, my class finished an hour ago, I was meant to meet a friend who didn't show, and now I'm on the library computers blogging. I really forgot what waiting around on campus alone was like. I thought I had so many friends to hang out with, but reality is... everyone goes home at the end of the day.

The only reason I'm hanging around is because Powderfinger's concert starts at 6pm. So I couldn't be bothered driving back to Mandurah and then heading back upto Perth. Consequently I'm stuck at Murdoch, which is the perfect excuse to practice some study. But no... I choose procrastination, every time.

So here I am alone... and I'm thinking this isn't so bad. I'm chilling in the cafeteria, I'm messaging friends checking facebook and then... my phone goes flat. Great, now what? Wouldn't it be awesome if they charged your phone on campus? Yes it would. So I think maybe, just maybe, Murdoch offers this great service.Well... they don't. Murdoch you have failed me!!

I hereby propose that Murdoch offer a phone charging service, instead of having to pay $37 for a energiser battery charger. We are university students, some of us rarely find the time for work, or if your like me your work just doesn't give you hours because your uni schedule doesn't fit in with theirs. So why should we pay $40 (almost) for a service that could well be free. I'm not saying that this service should be free, but if it was like $2 per phone charge that would be pretty reasonable. It would be awesome if it was free... like at southbound. Then again we could all remember to bring phone chargers to uni just in case something like this happens. But that's not the point. The point is that there is an oppurtunity for Murdoch to become extra awesome, and I think they should act on it.

Murals ahoy!

So I managed to grab some pics of the new artworks in the Economics Commerce and Law courtyard, and boy was I impressed. Kyle Hughes-Odgers is pretty talented, he's manage to convert a once empty space into an inviting environment.

If you haven't had the pleasure of stumbling across the new murals here's some pics for you to peruse over in the mean time. I strongly recommend you take a detour down to the ECL courtyard the next time your on campus, it's much more than just paintings. Try figure out if you can decipher a story. A friend of mine looked at the painting with bottles hanging down and said she thought it was about catching the tears of the characters in the other paintings.
