Purple Panic!
Posted on October 19th, 2008, 7:44 AM by David Graff
The local students have a phrase that they use to fondly refer to their pre exam signs of stress… It’s purple panic time. There are Jacaranda‘s in bloom everywhere here. That’s how a UQer knows it’s time to panic. The trees make quite bright purple blooms, solidly without any green leaves. This picture was taken yesterday, but they are already a little past their prime and have started to grow green leaves a little bit.
Very appropriate…. my exam is in less than 50 hours. Too late if you’re just panicking now, but hopefully not to late for us.

Brian said the first time he noticed them he came around the corner and was listening to Radiohead – Fake Plastic Trees…
