Wobbie's Wamblings

 A ratio can be applied to many aspects of life. Whether it is the 1 meat to 3 vegetable ratio with your evening meal. Or the reasoning to enable you to decide that you’re sitting in an engineering lecture instead of your own which probably has a more equal ratio.

The 8 hour day movement implemented by the stonemasons of Melbourne in the 1850’s is an appropriate historical ratio. The background being a stonemason (a worker of stone) was an essential part of constructing the impressive streetscapes of Melbourne and regional Victoria. As this was a highly skilled trade and an enormous building boom had struck because of the gold generated from such regional venues as Ballarat (fairly decent place between the hours of 7-10am) and Bendigo (never decent) there was a large demand for skilled tradesmen. But back to the point the ratio was 8 hours work, 8 hours recreation and 8 hours rest.

Another ratio that I feel is never consistent is the lettuce to mayonnaise ratio in a  McChicken. Very disgruntling at times.

This being my fourth semester living at Deakin Hall I have found that in the second week of every semester I have fallen ill to what can otherwise be known as ‘res cough’. It is a terrible ailment which will be cured in 167- 169 hours after showing initial symptoms. If symptoms persist seek a medical practioner or harden up.

It is well known that a shack is a better form of dwelling in comparison to a hut. But is a cottage better than a cabin?

Get involved in as many events as you can this semester guys and have a great time.
