I’ve had so much going on and so much to post that I can’t do things justice without scheduling posts, so I’m trying this out. These are from my friend Ewelina’s 18th last weekend. That night was interesting though, went from her 18th to several places in the city, including my first gay bar (for my other friend Patricia’s 18th which was the Sunday aka midnight). Took me long enough. Seemed to run into everyone I know that night again – but that’s always the way.

At least I learnt to not wear American Apparel lace in 10*C weather… blooooody hell.

One week of uni break down, one week to go. Pulling in 4 consecutive days of study, running out of materials to make models with, 2000+ words written in one day… it’s been reeeeally relaxing…

The weekend has been good though. Friday consisted of shopping with Chrystal and Maddy, Teen Spirit that night where I managed to run into all sorts of people, and Lily’s 18th – where the photos are from. The weirdest part is it’s never occurred to me how often I really do play with my hair until you scroll through this blog. My favourite thing though is bleaching over the blue and my hair obtaining a solid pink hue. Makes no sense what so ever.

Oh well, things’ve been great. I mean yes, busy and draining and I hardly sleep as much as I want to but hey! Swings and roundabouts. I finish semester in a month and half, and I am so excited.

I need to do work here aswell, this place needs a new layout or something. So many things to do wow.

Jesus Christ, what a past couple of days/weeks/however long it’s been. Easter was spent moving into the temporary unit, which we’re now mostly settled into. I tell you what 5 consecutive days of moving stuff/cleaning the old place was enough to make me cry. I didn’t but you get the picture.

Uni has been full of work and now that I’m facing two weeks of “break”, there is that much more work to be done. 3 assessments for once we’re back, and knowing that it’s design school, you can tell how full on this’ll be. 10 models and 30 drawings bare minimum alone for one subject alone. Oh well, I’m managing to cope well enough so far, so it’ll be ok.

There have been a few fun parties and such recently too, such as Chrystal’s 90′s themed 18th. Hence the blue hair. Kind of dressed up as a grunge mix of Kate Moss and Cruella De Vil (as pointed out by Piper). Decent night, decent night.

Ah man, who knew being an adult would be so busy? Hopefully with these assessments though I’ll be able to share some of the stuff I’ve been doing for uni. Exciting tymz.

Black Bubblegum – The Dillinger Escape Plan

I have been so busy. I am a busy person.

Last week was uni orientation, so basically spent the week touring the campus and getting to know staff and stuff. There was this pub party organised by the student union, which is impressive when you consider that The Holidays played live. They were incredible, the local acts around here are getting a lot better.

There was also a cute house party for high school people before uni at my friends house. It was great, mainly due to deciding to sit on everyone all night. Poor Yannick was the longest victim.

Sunday, though, my friends Sunday… Soundwave 2012. The Mission in Motion, Four Year Strong, Bad Religion, bit of Lamb of God, Dillinger Escape Plan (so. fucking. good.), bits of Slipknot and System of a Down. All in the one day. Going with a group of energetic blokes was a bit of an odd choice – on one hand, got burly mates lookin’ after you, but on the other 5 seconds later they run off for the circle pits. But it was amazing, I could not have asked for a better day.

And then today, well, today my friends, I started university. I am a proper adult. One day down, it’s pretty good. Excited to get in the grit of it and get organised.

So if that isn’t the definition of a busy gal I don’t know what is.

Keep on movin’ – Five

Hi, my name is Jess and I change my hair very frequently.

The past week has been rather busy. Saw Sherlock Holmes on Monday with Samantha, and rather loved it. Saw Clinton that night too which I hadn’t since… before November, actually. Coffee with Sophia Tuesday, living at Chrystal’s for the rest of the week. She did my hair on Thursday (she’s been my hairdresser for AGES now), and that night went out to celebrate Jess’ birthday with a bunch of people I hadn’t seen for so long – Michael, Nick, Adrian and Max (aswell as the usual gang). Friday night Jess had a proper dinner celebration thing with ~the girls~, drinking really badly made cocktails right out of the mixer.

Saturday night – where the majority of these photos are from – was Bec’s 18th. It was a decent house party, save the shit from a whole bunch of drunk teens. Came home covered in mud and suddenly best friends with people I thought didn’t know who I was. Bit cute.

God this post screams 90210 drama. At least it’s not Baywatch drama – which is my new favourite show.

Ohhhh summer holidays.
