Shout out!

Hey all!
So Bec said that the last picture on my blog was a rainy shot, and told me it was too depressing and I needed to do something about it. So I am. When she gets back from her travels through Europe, there will be a sunny, glowing picture waiting for her.
So what have I been up to in the last...three weeks?
Mostly school really, starting the projects, one for each class. They are extremely creative and a lot of fun. A couple weekends ago we went to the Blue Mountains for a day. Just great view, gorgeous hiking and a very touristy feel. But it was alot of fun, quite a bit cooler than the city and honestly breathtaking. That was a Sunday, got back that night, went straight to bed due to our absolute exhaustion, then woke up on Monday for school. Tuesday day was spent working at the Exchange Fair for my school. It was actually quite fun. I spent four hours talking up Ryerson and Toronto - no one asked about the fashion program though - they were all radio and television students. Talking about it all day made us Rye kids a little homesick, but nothing that walking in the harbour wouldn't fix.
Tuesday night brought one of my favorite days of the year! St. Patti's Day. And my, Sydney did not disappoint! We headed out decked in green at around 7pm. Where I live is the oldest part of Sydney and the area most populated by Irish Pubs. SOOO we just went down the street to a couple different places, met some hillarious people and had an overall good time.
Wednesday sucked.
My Thursday class is the one where I'm making a jacket-esque thing out of old RipCurl wetsuits, and while most of the girls hate the project, I'm really liking it. So Thursday was good.
Friday was spent in the print lab dyeing fabrics for Assessment 1 that is due this week. Eeek. Hope I did everything alright. My samples are smaller than they are supposed to be, but I honestly can't do them all over again and am willing to take whatever cut I get. I'm learning lots though.
Saturday night we went to a Rugby game, Waratahs vs. Crusaders. It was at the ANZ Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park, which was a cool place anyways. The rugby was awesome, even though our Sydney team didn't win. The atmosphere was great and it was just such a neat experience. A very well spent $17.
So what's next you ask?
Well three weeks of school, projects due, lots of work. All that jazz. Then off to New Zealand to see the sights and partake in some extreme sports! Very excited for that!

Anyways, that is all that is really new for now - however, I would love to hear from you! Your stories would sure break up the next three weeks of school work!

Also, special Happy Birthday send out to Auntie Deb and a belated Happy Birthday to Uncle Gregg and Jenna!
Happy Spring all you back in the Northern Hemisphere!
