australians in nottingham
last night was karni's seven legged pub crawl...more than 6500 keen university students descending on the bars and clubs of notts. in typical fashion, i roped seven australians together (well, tried to. one canadian - but close enough) and we went as australians/bogans/sports fanatics. with our faces painted green and gold, dressed in wifebeaters, fake bikini/six pack-clad t-shirts, pluggers/thongs/flip-flops and with aussieaussieaussie oioioi written everywhere possible on our bodies, we headed to walkabout. all in all, a fabulous night.
however, with less than two hours sleep under my belt now, i feel downright terrible.
and surfthechannel isn't being kind to me, despite having new episodes of gossip girl and how i met your mother. please have some sympathy!

the olden days
recently, things have been like the olden days - the summer just past. working full time, watching the oc obsessively and sleeping at obscure hours. uni is finally over, and although i have had a bit of free time, i wouldn't be able to tell you where it has gone. i suppose i've been sick, which is how my body is telling me to stop and slow down (hence the oc - i'm halfway through season one and it is great)
the big trip is soon - leaving in just over two months! how exciting. i've started making lists / plans and it's all coming together. i'm thinking i'll pop into nottingham for my orientation and immediately make my way to munich, germany for oktoberfest with sam and daen (with luck). no idea about accommodation / costs but future-candice can work that one out.
we won our touch grand final last weekend! and this weekend we've got a bar tab at the orient (vomit) but it's still a bar tab so that's great. pyjama party last weekend was lots of fun - the best bit being, coming home loose at a reasonable hour having been drinking for the last 7 and crawling straight into bed.
splen soooooooon. i'm so fucking excited i could eat my ticket (but won't, of course).

sunday sesh and monday moods
following our WIN against a friend's team in touch last night, a sunday sesh was in order...involving drinks (starting very late), so late that i accidentally missed a friend's birthday at the RE, reminiscing on an old relationship with the ex, possibly spiked midori+lemonade which resulted in various body movements which may have looked as though i was throwing myself against a metal pole...all in all, a good night but definitely felt the affects of fun this morning.
i mentioned once before that there are just some people you meet in life who will always have a small place in your heart, no matter how long it is since you have seen them. and it is completely up to you, as to whether you would prefer to keep the relationship between the two of you idealised or not...a perfect friendship frozen in time or one which has the potential of being completely ruined. which is right? and where is the point where you know that you should take that chance, otherwise you will regret it forever?
unfortunately, some bad news today regarding travels...a friend (my travel companion in february 2010) was rejected from his host university due to 'lack of studio space'. i am sure they can pull up one chair and share the love around...surely they have seen clueless?
"So like, right now for example. The Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all, "What about the strain on our resources?" Well it's like when I had this garden party for my father's birthday, right? I put R.S.V.P. 'cause it was a sit-down dinner. But some people came that like did not R.S.V.P. I was like totally buggin'. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, and squish in extra place settings. But by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier. And so if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion may I please remind you it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty. Thank you very much."

archi-torture
architecture degree
=
time consuming
soul destroying
social life killing
but completely and utterly worth it.
office politics are hard to deal with. who is in charge; who has the power; who makes the decisions? as a result, i have swapped out of my tutorial group for design - as my tutor also works with me, thus making our professional r'ship a bit complex.
this weekend should involve: essay writing on manners and personal privacy in the renaissance - 19th century + domestic architecture; reflective journals; environmental management tasks (many thanks to my environmental management student who has failed to turn up) and sleeping, but instead will probably involve: friday night fans at alhumbra; saturday night soco and kings with archikids + charlie's 19th birthday at cloudland; sunday night touch + susie's 19th birthday at the RE.
mega fail haha.
another interesting note, i have decided to plan to get fit - exercise every tuesday night, thursday morning and sunday night. it really does make a difference. i feel aliveee! X

in lands of clouds
images from home
good morning / rise and shine:
it's sunday mid-morning, a good time for brunch, hangover coffees / macdonalds, updating blogs, searching for hideous photos of the night before and starting assignments due on monday. happy 21st birthday liz, for last night. following fringe, we trekked to cloudland and waited in possibly the slowest moving line ever. but completely worth it. jellybean punch cocktail in tow (and eighteen beans poorer, but definitely drunker), we explored cloudland...it's magnificant grand scale staircases, bed-sized sofas (decorated in grandeur 17th century fabrics...tassels...chandeliers...), full length mirrors (every bar/lounge bathroom needs one) and retractable ceiling?! following that - press club + sky lounge (banana cocktail thing, thankyou jason) + met...probably the worst experience of my life. seedy, sweaty, dancing bodies, barely dressed girls in cages, spilt drinks, sore feet and music with a horrible anti-climax. however, today is sunday, and said brunch is definitely on the cards.
i nearly popped back into old habits last night but thankfully did not. it's true what they say - you always know what is right...the hard thing is actually doing it. it will be good to escape for a bit in september and forget. there are those people who just don't leave your wondering mind. X

...and it's only wednesday.
tomorrow i shall be a recluse, hiding in the queensland state library with books on 15th and 16th century architecture, manners and personal privacy. i shall attempt to ignore facebook/phone/society/distractions/attractive nerds in the library/ufo's - but admit this is unlikely.
back to work on friday ($payday$), much needed for the weekend coming.
strict budget is failing miserably, especially with my dear mastercard and recession sales (oh so tempting) - perhaps i will start playing lotto to try my chances.
zzz's needed for a big day of architectural theory tomorrow. X

ooh, naughty, naughty.
so, i have a review tomorrow, in exactly twelve hours.
the week has consisted of painfully constructing models using balsa, zap-a-gap (designed to increase nail polish remover sales, i swear), plastic and paper. possibly the best models i have made to date, but i am uncertain of the actual ideas behind it. fingers crossed i will not be burned tomorrow. and, in true architecture style, tomorrow night will be a big, fat celebration ie. messy drinks at someone's house.
mother and father duck found some cheap-ass flights to london a few days ago - i am talking 1400 or so. i found cheap ones flying a different airline, yet, cannot book them due to my lack of acceptance letter. all this organisation is scary, however - this may really be happening. it seems as though this decision to study abroad may be one of the main influencing decisions of my life. whether good/bad, who knows. X
ps: love to port o'brien's 'i woke up today'
