Coming up for air.

Someone remarked that my blog posting frequency was suggestive of how uni/ Melbourne has been for me since I got back- busybusybusy. It's not all untrue though, sadly.

I've been on my feet ever since it all began; 5 submissions due Tuesday 10am. That's weekly deadlines for you. The weather has been insane beyond words- the rain is here and it is intermittent.. not having an umbrella sometimes does foil plans..

On another note, apart from buying insane amounts of art material (and falling in love with Copic and Pantone Tria markers) and working hard at uni and trying to perform this trapeze balancing act, we've been cooking here at college on the nights when the kitchen is closed. There are the occasional trips down to the city where I pamper myself with the luxury of "me time" and meals out, discovering new places to go to.. also (finally) watched The Holiday at Hoyts Melbourne Central last night- so good! Well it was corny and cheesy but definitely not tacky. My favourite scene was when Jude Law's character told Cameron Diaz's that he was not "d-i-v-o-r-c-e-d" but a "w-i-d-o-w-e-r" after which she meets his children and the four of them have such a great, heartwarming time together..

Room allocations are out and I got my third preference of rooms. Quite happy about it and I'm likely to be moving in sometime next week.. speaking of which, Kenny turns 16 and Ryan turns 1 on Australia Day!

Some photographic products from my site visit last Thursday..

McClelland Gallery, Langwarrin

Gorgeous view across the lake also a prime view from the proposed site for our major assignment

Some of the work that I liked:

One piece by John Kelly whose works are themed on "deconstructing Australia"

Another John Kelly masterpiece

White "balls"- a popular attraction with children as it is resemblant of tunnels in a playground; gorgeous

"Wharf Spears" by Roman Liebach

This piece of art hangs in the McClelland Cafe, standing out clearly from the sterile white walls and furniture

And on the way to Queen Victoria Market the other day..

Hope everyone is keeping well! As stressful as this all is, I am enjoying myself! (:

And yet another week beckons. So quickly.
