No Major event but lots of sweet hanging…

I officially really only have 2 days of classes. Monday is 9.30 till 5.30 with absolutely no break, thus I only have to be here at 1.30. it seems really weird to only have this many classes but i don’t really mind because uni kinda sucks… the work is really dry and its kinda frowned upon to be creative…. but i can do boring, and do fun creative stuff in my own time.  Ive been keeping busy though…. finishing theory, gawd, that was a mission, thats been taking up most my time but ive been up to other stuff too. Maud and Jorien and i went out for real french crepes. and we also went to another lovley european girl Amanda’s place and we cooked up red thai curry, twas beautiful, i made prawn crackers, very novel. that night when i got home my flatties Marvin and Chris were having a party in there room with four hot German girls. i figures i couldnt sleep cause our walls are like polystyrene thin and i didnt want to intrude so i went to watch tv. but the girls made me come dance to a mix of crap techno music and beyonce.. it was kinda fun, the best was when this chic acme is and started dancing really awesome, i thatugh they must know her… and after like 5 mins of fully showing us all up with her moves she was like, oh i berrte introduce myself, Sunday, from two doors down, cool name…. her mate Ricardo came in later… were planning a block party cause our alley is very under utalised,  we also have 3 Djs and a band living in our alley. sweet. Last night me and Maud tried to get into the Vampire Weekend concert even though it is sold out. I got the wrong date, its next week, Retard!! i bought here a jug of beer to make up for it, we had to get Styen to come help cause we couldn’t finish it ourselves, so we sat at the Espy and yelled at each other over the noise of the Crap “up and coming” bands! good times.

Phillip Island, Weekend Get Away

This it the lovley view of the cliff of the island we stayed in on the weekend. Phillip Island was a lovley weekend getaway. On friday avo, me and anna and sarah, (the chicks from up north that i stayed with when i got here) and 5 others of there mates headed out of the city.  We went to this georgus rented house With a giant spa bath and widescreen tv, we drunk good wine and ate great fod, and played board games!! there was some awesome rocks i walked on. and i watched the whole DVD of peep show, great english comedy!! We were very very lazy, it was great i only feel a tad guilty. Theory haunts my dreams. ohh but i had a good dream too, i got tickets to Vampire Weekend, But it was only a dream, instead im gonna go hand out side the venue on thurs and scab tickets off someone, or buy them of hawkers!! Ha ha fun fact, ive only met two other Kiwis since ive been here, Both from Hamilton!! lol Ok Must get a job

This is my flat.

 

this is what my lounge looks like, well not all the time, but sometimes… pics of my bedroom when i get round to it. i was just at home having dinner when my flatmate comes in with a trail of like 10 crazy international students, this rapidly multiplied and we had a party, it was pretty sweet, cept the international students seem to love there techno beats and there all quite slutty, well not slutty but there definatly major teases!! which i am not always opposed too. lol Next day my 2 flatmates had a huge domestic involving emotional, verbal and phsycal abuse!! long story i try not to get too involved but all is not well in paradise!!

Back to Hard Work

I guess i forgot for a while that i was actually here for uni… and i am so now i must work hard, ahhh here it is the final semester of the final year in my design class. got the first brief today, i feel very uninspired by how restricting it is.  Im designin a poster and a limited edition catalouge for an architecture exhibition, does that sound like my thing or what!!

I think the honeymoon period is over, but ist alright soon ill get into a rhythm and everything will be cool. Its not quite as easy to meet people in my class. they all seem pretty cool but they have already formed there groups ya know.. sooo im a bit of a quiet loner at the moment but i dont mind too much…

I heart James Hancock

So on Friday night i finally found where all the gorgious weird men were hiding, and all i needed to do was too go to an exhibition…. Sarah and Anna and I went to 12×12 an exhibition featuring non other than my favourite designer/ illustrator James Hancock, No one really understood how excited i was!! lol Some other pretty cool artists i discovered from this is Miso, pictured below in the alley, and Jae Copp, really swet stuff, all with this awesome antique glassy gloss and old frames… and you had to give a gold coin donation for the beer!!! woah! Oh my and the works by james were only $200 each i was soooooo tempted to get one… I thaught it would have been cool if you were there selbs cause you would have just told me to splash out and go for it and i would have!!

There really is quite a story to go with this…. after our long but exciting tour of the awesome little alleys and lane ways filled with awesome street art and alternative drinking and eating spots, we ended the tour at this sweet bar that is in a container, with heaps of outdoor seating , i had muled wine and dumplings from next door… got chatting to an English girl Nathalie, she mentioned she had a house with 2 rooms free… the were $200 each, up by Victoria Market, i said no i couldn’t afford that much, she somehow managed to convince me i should come see it, anyway, maybe the price was negotiable… so we walked back along the way she fuly sold it to me, power included, warm gas fire, spiral staircase, fuly furnished, green trim and furnishings, she sold me on green, i belive she wil be great in realestste if the Art thing dosnt work out, we got there i looked around, prety sweet, i decided it i could get it for $170 i would do it, i owe it to myself after a year of living in the lounge/hallway! lol + save on transport and stuff, its like 10min walk frm uni, the land lady came she was showing round others, 7 of the 8 were asian boys! i told the lady i was intrested but could only pay $170 at the most, she said NO it wouldnt cover her costs… she was gonna give the rooms to that asian boys Nat was sad, i was sad my dreams crushed may have had a little tear in my eye, “oh go on she says take it for $170, i cant stand people crying, sooo i got my room, im not proud of the methods i used to get my own way but it worked didn’t it?? then two others from our exchange programme that nathalie had mentioned the flat too came round, they were gona share so we convinced them to hare the big room, he he its funny that they share cause they both big guys… there is Christian aka Chris aka jugs, the guy from the party who thrilled over jugs!! he is german, studying electrical engineering, good guy, the other guy is Marvin, he is from NY,studying media and sound and stuff, very cool, funy dude… i do believe with this gang i should have a good time,

I am an RMIT Student

My photos dont want to load today but there is more to come….. so ive enrolled at RMIT, i get to do printmaking, yay!! I made three new friends, Laura is from france, But she looks more Mexican, She half Mexican, She my best bud, we went flat hunting tooo, and then my other friend is called Ian, he is British, he wore a soft toy squid around his neck and science eye goggles as glasses and did experiments with a dishwasher crystal a jar and alcohol in the lecture, he is a performance art student, go figure, and my other friend is Mathias from Germany, he let me use his name tag so i would fit in, you see there is 56 exchange students from Germany and 1 from NZ!! ohhh and this beats unitec being a mental institute,  part of rmit is and old jail, there is this cell that the terrible Ned Kelly had to get locked in!! lol

So went flat hunting, it really couldn’t have gone worse, i caught a tram to the 31st stop on the #19 line took like half an hour, then i rung the lady i had arranged the meeting with and said i would be there soon, as we had arranged, she sounded confused and started rambling about a house in Richmond, Evans st… so i rung the other number,  same response, different person, so i rocked up to the house number 35, seemed nice enough, i knocked,  an old Greek couple came to the door!!, i explained how i must have the wrong house, they then said there was another 35 along the street, seriously what kind of fucken street has 2 number 35s!!  i got a tad pissed off so started walking back along the street, i was going bonkers and reading out the house numbers like a KENO presenter on speed!!, anyway, i visited Brunswick, and decided i really really don’t want to live that far out!!
