A few snaps from last Tuesday, the Neuw Denim Fashion Week After Party. I went with Loretta, and met her friends Anne & Christian. New experiences, always great.
I’m trying to keep this punchy because I have to go pack and live with the boyfriend for a week. Knocked back my last post-break assessment today, and now I have design camp for the next few days, but at least I’ll get to be coming home to him. I’m not sure where along the lines we became 40 and married, but y’know.
So much busy!
I feel like I start off every blog with a description of how busy I am, but it’s basically the only thing I can think of when I think about my week.
Uni is full on. Every night I’m working well into the morning to achieve the expected level of work and man, it’s intense. Even the photos above correlate to my Spatial Language course – I had a task to traverse a part of Sydney and document findings. At least Chrystal was up from Bathurst this weekend and bored that day and joined me! We had a very adorable lunch at a gourmet burger place.
Besides uni work, and trying to maintain a relatively sane social life, there isn’t room for anything else. It’s dull and draining but y’know. At least there have been some upsides to keep things in balance. But like, secret upsides. The mystery continues.
So once again, we’re faced with a new year. Every new year people start to have hope for a new future, change, all that kind of stuff. Personally, I don’t really care. But January 1st is always a good day to look back at the past year and remember all the experiences – 2011 being a very hectic, emotional, draining, busy and generally fun year.
Last year I was (un)fortunate enough to be home on New Year and posted a reflection of 2010. This year I’m a bit luckier and will be celebrating that Saturday, so I’ve queued the world’s longest blog post to go over the past year and some of it’s highlights. It’s crazy not only how many things happened, and not only how often my hair changes, but how different it was to 2010 and how much I’ve grown up.
So here we have it, my friends, 2011!
Aw, look at me, so nostalgic. 2011 was immense. 2012 will bring a lot of firsts too – university, (hopefully) new friends and many of great new experiences. But more importantly, how was your 2011?
This was me yesterday, taking a mid-exam break to go to my friends place and dye my hair again. The colour lasts nearly a month, I’ve come to realise, so we (obviously) had some fun. We’re very cool.
I’m currently in my 2 week mid-exam gap (the timetabling of exam’s hasn’t been kind to me), halfway through exams. I’m never going to have to study English or Mathematics ever again, and it’s an amazing feeling. This time in 2 weeks I’ll have done with the HSC all together, which is simply lovely to think of. Thanks everyone for all the kind wishes!
And yes, I finally changed the design of this place. About bloody time. There will be modifications and such after exams, but the other one was killing me too much to leave up. So enjoy! And enjoy Halloween!
I am currently some way through the last week of the second term of school. The rest of this week, then break for 2. You have no idea how much I am looking forward to it.
Its been kind of exciting lately. Friday night was fun, Tiffany came over for a while, then we went out. All the uni exams are done so I get to see those guys (Tiffany, Luke, etc) more. Saturday had a cute little session at Samantha’s, and Sunday had a cute date with Chrystal. We went to these abandoned tram yards which (as you can see) have been trashed and graffiti-ed and such. I had to get her to model for my art major work, so got a lot of great shots and such. Its such a scenic place. Afterwards we went to a cute cafe and went to see X-Men First Class (which is the most exciting film I’ve seen for such a long time).
The rest of my time lately has been governed by assessments (which are all done for the term, so cheerin’), downloading new music (Manchester Orchestra, Friendly Fires, The Dodos, Cat Power, Florence & the Machine, Arctic Monkeys (♥), and Frank Turner all now hold new or updates places in my life), and sorting out life. Should be getting a new phone soon, so hopes up for that.
I just need holidays nowwww !
