hey

finally spring is coming along here, I'm so sick of winter. Yesterday I started the day off with a long walk in the botanical gardens, so nice and beautiful. We have production week now so I decided to do that everyday (already screwed that one up since I didnt today, but for good reasons though) but i'll defenitely do it tomorrow. So quite a lot has been happening in the little house on Yurong lately. Both Louise and myself got a spot in the internship program Billy Blue's running - Louise is with Interbrand and I'm with The Projects. So excited! It will happen during our holiday break from november-march.

Then today, our lovely lecturer from last semester Frankie took both of us aside for a projects she wanted us in on - we're going to design something (we've decided on a zine together I think) to be sold under The Design Kids name on the graduate exhibition later this year. It's only open for 6th semester students, but she wants us and two more - one of the two being Tim - the little boy who's resently stolen my heart - to design something as well. Very exciting!

Then not much else is happening, Louise, Tim and I hung out in Hyde park yesterday for some afternoon sun..ran into Ro and then we had to go rescue Thomas who'd locked himself out on their rooftop. Then we all went for a roadtrip to pick up Tim's van and then drive over to Caro, Toby and Jack's to get a fridge from them. They were given two fridges for free so they didnt really need theyre old one - so they gave it to us since our fridge is tiny for four people. So now we can actually fit all the enormous amounts of veggies and herbs Tim and his mum keeps giving us.

This morning, Tim and I were gonna go to the flower markets at 6am but that didn't happen, instead we planted some veggies and herbs in our backyard - we're now growing capsicum, chili, parsley and basil. yum - hopefully they'll live and grow strong. Tonight Louise and I filmed her title sequence, I filmed mine with Josefin yesterday - you'll might see the results if little blogger allows us to upload the files in the future.

A few days ago my manager and ass. manager made a little cardboard figure off me and Ashlea from work for a meeting they were going to with all teh crabtree & evelyn managers and people from NSW - we look beautiful (I'm to the right in the picture - fringe and all). Louise and I also went venturing to Paddys markets for some veggie shopping and Louise purchased the product of the year - a Dramaten! so pretty.

update

so we haven't updated the blog in a while.. but with good reason. Uni, uni, uni and illness.. everyone in the palace as had their time.. nnow it's my turn. i got a cold and it's very annoying. but what can you do.. i've bought heaps of oranges though so i'm eating a lot of vitamin c, which i've heard is good for you..

we're in week 8 now at uni.. which means less than half way left.. 6 weeks! in 2 weeks we got production week again .. it's insane how the time flies down here.

as you might know we had some troubles with the house: oven, door, dishwasher, toaster, hot water.. BUt it's all coming together now.. we already ticked the door and the oven off and tomorrow a person will come and fix the dishwasher and I think nicole is looking at a toaster as we speak. oh and the hot water got fixed monday which was a little bit of a relief after being forced to shower in cold water for 2-3 days.. but hey , at least we now know how the eskimos and other people with no hot water feel.

oh well back to studying.
