The workshop was good fun. I was super tired (always) at the start of the class, but I really got into it towards the end of the class. We did lots of drilling and that was quite fun (I didn't drill into myself- success!) We managed to finish all three boxes!! whooohooo. It was pretty hilarious, every 10 minutes or so Steph would say out loud, "ohhh shit." and michael and I would look at her and be like, ".... what did you do wrong! arggh! hahaha"
yay
Afterwards I had some time to kill before heading to the Style Craft meeting so I headed towards uni to find Dylan, but ran into Ariel and spoke to him in the middle of the street for a while about everythang that has been happening in life over the week and enthusiastically fed him mangosteeeen. I always find it so much easier to talk to people one-on-one. I feel so silent in groupsss, I should work on that...
After the chat, I ran to get some dinner and called Emma and met with her out of uni. She is such a funny girl. I quite literally always bump into her at uni even though we don't have any classes together cus she's in fourth year. She has so many awesome thoughts and I really like listening to her. We headed to Style craft together and talked about her thesis and other really interesting things which I, for the life of me, cannot even remember right now but I remember it was interesting. Ughh why do I always forget the interesting conversations.
The Style Craft meeting was great. I felt so much more comfortable than last time. We presented our own videos and discussed them and it was really awesome! Towards the end, one of the Style Craft guys said to us, "You're doing a lot for us, if there is anything we can do for you guys in return... just say! ... Mhmm. We can organise an interview with a few magazines if you'd like... like Artichoke or I-D?" and Dylan and I looked at each other and our faces were like O_O - feeling pretty overwhelmed with meeting people, but also excited.
He and I caught the train home afterwards. It was hilarious, we were walking to the train and I offered him some random fruit (I seriously had 2 mandarins, a banana and 3 mangosteens in my bag that day - yuuuum) and he took a mandarin and somehow i managed to unknowingly drop my banana somewhere in the streets of melbourne. I didn't realise till I got home and texted Dylan, "Bahaha omg I dropped the banana somewhere on the streets by accident. I hope no one slips." - that'd be quite funny though.

Wednesdayyyyyyyy
I went to see Vic in the morning. Mark let me in and we chatted while I waited for her to arrive. I showed him a mangosteen and he got confused and I tried explaining what the inside was like and I said something like, "a white... mandarin sort-of inside" and he continued to look quite perplexed. Vic arrived and I did a little bit of work and gave both Vic and Mark a bit of mangosteen and Mark said it was "like a witchettery grub... but sweet" and I was not pleased with this description, hahaha.
Vic and I headed to NGV to see the "Unexpected Pleasures" exhibition. It was such a beautiful day to be walking around. The exhibition was really cool. It filled my head to ideas and new things to explore.
I think the things that I liked most were:
I like how random and cute Yellow Kelly is. I want it.
After that, we headed to Pieces of Eight to check out David Nealle's beautiful exhibition.
I unenthusiastically headed to my tech class. I hadn't done all that much work for it, so I wasn't keen on going. But I had seen Ross the day before so I really couldn't run away.
Class was actually surprisingly good. Ross told us to sketch up our ideas if we hadn't done them already, so while he spoke to people one-on-one I drew up my ideas for a small lake retreat in canberra that comes off the side of the hill and faces out to the lake. We had to choose an actual site, so I chose this one place where I always bike ride to. I think that I have gotten really good teachers for this semester. I find Ross really helpful and I think that he will be even more so once we actually begin our proper technical drawings. He spoke to me last, and he was keen on my idea said, "i'd buy that!" hahaha.
I had so much time to kill before Pandas, Sarah and I saw Batman so I just went to Uni and did some editing for Animate Activate and chatted to Jimmy while doing the work. I called up Rainbow and we met for dinner. He's moving house really soon and might not be able to find a place, so he seemed super stressed. I gave him timtams to feel better. I was actually feeling so tired so I was trying to eat sugar so I wouldn't fall asleep before/during batman. He told me to drink a soft drink... so i did and lotsss of sugar is so not good for me. I became a super tired but a little bit hyper. Rainbow was laughing at me because I was so obviously tired. He was telling me to "eat something substantial" instead of miso. But miso is so good. When Pandas arrived at the cinema, he'd half finished his curry and I looked at him and was like, "... Haha you know I have to go riiiiight. I'm sorry to run away from you!" and he was like "You are ditching me!! rahhh"
Batman was good! It was odd for me to actually see the movie. Beforehand I was telling Rainbow, "Dude... It feels surreal that im going to see Batman... I have been waiting to see it for ages and now... I AM ahhhh"
It was really great to see it with the Pandas and Sarah! It was like... a completely different hanging-out atmosphere than the other times i've hung out with either of them. It's actually the first time I've seen a movie with those guys... so that was a good first movie haha.
I couldn't help but feel kind of nervous when the movie started. I kept thinking about the shootings (cus I read so much about it, i really shouldn't have read so much into it) and this guy who was in front of me got up and went out of the cinema and I was thinking "... I hope he's not a cray" but he came back with icecream. So yay for no cray.
It was pretty hilarious seeing people's reactions to things. I think all of us were like "wtf" when batman got with the french chick. It seemed so out of nowhere. Andii burst into laughter at one point and I was like, "whaaat? why are you laughing!" and she was like, "It's the guy from dexter!!" and I was like, "bahah omg it is." Pretty funny to see him playing a police officer again. Every time Joseph Gordon Levitt came on screen I'd look at Sarah and she'd be smiling her face off. - but really Joseph Gordon Levitt is actually super. I kind of love him. Ariel would laugh every time the motorbike with the spinning wheels came on the screen hahaha I wonder if those could be made... I'm sure they could.
Anne Hathaway was super good too. My love for her went up when I found out she could sing. Talented peeeeooooooppppppllle.
I was so tired after the movie. We wandered to China town and drunk soup and then Sarah and I sleepily trammed home.
Has been a really good few of days!!
I have been meaning to write a few things that have been in my head for ages, but I am always so tired. I will write them soon hopefully.
Tiiiime to rest ~~
