 it take you to do your hair. Get out of my way – I need some mirror space.
8.20am – Am thinking I should take a “selfie” on my first day. After all, my friends all take photos of their kids on their first day of school.
8.30am – Do I have time to get to the library to borrow that microbiology textbook that was mentioned in the lecture notes?
8.31am – Ahh bugger, I was supposed to check where 9am lecture was.
8.40am – I think that boy on my tram is in my course – that’s good – I can follow him.
8.45am – Looks like I don’t have time for the library. Oh well, now I can follow tram boy to the lecture. And besides who else is going to be as dorky as me to go and borrow the book from the library – I’ll get it at lunch time.
Shortly after – what happened to tram boy?
8.50am – Nice girl from orientation recognises me on the street and says hello. We head off to where we think the lecture is.
Shortly after – we charge on into the lecture theatre – these people don’t look familiar – oh dear it’s not our class.
Shortly after – I approach a man on the street to ask him where Pelham St is. We head off with his instructions only to find he gave us the wrong info.
Shortly after – Google maps
Shortly after – no it’s not that building, no it’s not that building
9.05am – Walking, walking, finally we’ve found it, 5 minutes late – that’s not too bad. I grab the first available seat – it’s up the front. Great – looks like I’m matching the mature age stereotype
9.07am – oh no I can’t work the lecture theatre tables – someone helps me.
10am – my neck hurts from looking up at the screen from the front row
11am – Just spotted tram boy, but it’s not tram boy. It’s who I thought was on my tram, but he’s wearing different clothes. So obviously tram boy wasn’t studying nursing. Good thing I didn’t follow him.
Lecture 1 goes for 4 hours. But the time passes by okay, as there is a different speaker every hour. Associate Professor Jane Freemantle was a stand-out for her engaging presentation. There is a big focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health. I wonder how our terrible history and even the current failings with Aboriginal health is seen by the international students completing the course.
12.20pm – The girl beside me is eating a box of Barbeque shapes. She’s really ploughing through them. I think she could have chosen something a bit quieter.
1pm – Lunch time
1.15pm – Library – On no I’ve spotted another nursing student at the reference desk – I bet she is after the same book as me. I’m sure with my expertise in libraries I’ll grab it first.
Shortly after – Bugger – should have written down the call number. Oh hello – there is the student from my course with a librarian showing her where the book is.
Shortly after – Duh – the book that was available this morning is now gone, plus the edition before that – I end up borrowing one that is almost 20 years old. I suppose nothing much has changed in the world of microbiology.
Next I ask the librarian for assistance with the other book. Also needed assistance with borrowing the books. #libraryfail
1.30pm – I’m starving. Ding, ding, ding – winner, winner, winner. How cheap are sandwiches here compared to work?
2pm – Okay I think the next lecture starts at 2.30 – I’m going to be early.
2.15pm – Okay I’m not early – lecture actually started at 2.15pm
2.45pm – Yikes science!
3pm – Okay – not even sure how to take notes about this stuff.
3.15pm – Maybe I’ll just list the stuff I don’t know anything about, and then that will prompt me to do some reading about that.
3.20pm – Um there’s too much I don’t know. Maybe I’ll just get a basic biology textbook to get me up to speed.
4pm – Thank God for the Haighs the Ashurst library team gave me a farewell present.
4.15 – Hello sunshine. Hello grass.
I take my selfie for Facebook.
4.30pm – I’ve discovered the City Library has Biology for Dummies on the shelf. Must go and see if I can borrow it./**

});Seen lots of new machines on the market and just wondering whats the best one out there?
Must look great, have excellent features, 3 or 4 group and make awesome coffee.
Price should be reasonable and reliability paramount.
You might get more useful responses if you provided us with a bit more information about what it is that youre actually after. What is your budget? Does the machine need to be easy to use, or does it need to be able to get the best out of the coffee? Are you going to be using it at home or in a cafe? If you are using it in a cafe, what sort of coffee are you going to use with it and what flavour profile do you expect to get out of it? Where are you located - who is going to service the machine? How do you rank the importance of each of the various factors?
Personally, I think that the La Marzocco GB5 EE is pretty hard to beat, but Im sure that others will differ. Fit and finish are top-notch, the guts are easy to get to service, it is well laid-out from the baristas pov and it can be tweaked to basically do whatever you want with the coffee. Synesso is also pretty good. Those are both multiple-boiler machines. When it comes to heat exchanger machines for cafes, WEGA sets the standard for price, durability and quality, but there are heaps and heaps of other brands on the market. I like the BFC machines that we are importing at work. Whichever you choose, the machine doesnt make great coffee - it merely facilitates the barista to do so.
Even when you come to commercial machines, grinders are still really the most important part of the package. Here, its a little bit easier. IMHO, the Mazzer Robur is the king of the hill and there arent really many contenders.
Luca, I was going to say this last night...but forgot...Youre just a Mazzer fan boy!
THe size, appearance, price etc of a machine means nothing.
Some people may say it does, but in my experience, it doesnt.
I recently used La Cimbalis M39 Dosatron, and i can honestly say the crappy 2 Group Boema that im working on at the moment can make, and has made, as good a coffee.
Temperature stability is a huge selling point with alot of newer machines. This is all well and good if you have no idea what youre doing, but frankly, if you dont know what youre doing you should be behind any machine.
If money is no object, then there are plenty of
