So in the time it's been since I last posted, an entire lifetime has passed by me. Or so it feels.

This week is my last week of university in Canberra for 2010, have to enjoy it as much as I can because I have only just realised I will not be taking anymore classes with any of the folk I have come this far with. That thought makes me sad - with only a year and a half of my degree to go, I feel I have developed a rapport of sorts with many of my peers and in the very least have reached a level of familiarity with these people that I would almost call 'comfortable'..

Tangibly positive outcomes of this semester have been a number of distinctions, and one high distinction but sadly being caught up in the throes of life has meant keeping up to date with more than what's on today (or at stretch, tomorrow) has been difficult. The essay I wrote about in my last post scored a distinction though quite disappointingly my lecturer didn't enjoy Sublime or MF Doom as much as I did.

Because I'm staring down the barrel of two months off uni (more or less, may look into enrolling in a journalism class), I had dreams of scoring myself an industry-directed job but being that I will be in Buenos Aires in three months (no kidding, three months almost exactly, though I have yet to buy flights..) I think I need to think more about immediate employment. (note to self: update resume, stat!)

In any event, this is a link to the (few) articles I wrote this semester.
Check them out if you're interested in education, reasons for Canberra's lacklustre music scene or the open spaces program that makes Canberra so beautiful.


And, finally here is a collection of images thrown together in the space of 10 minutes for added illustrative value of this post to show what the last few weeks of my life have included (but were obviously not limited to!).

This is my face/favourite sweater & brooch.

This is my soon-to-be home town!

& I'm no sycophant - this house party featured a lot of punch, plus a band I've loved for a really long time and I was more than impressed with the quality of this image from my phone.

And finally, because in my downtime lately I've been oscillating between too much Aesop Rock and Daria, here are images of both. In love with Daria for a million reasons, for reasons of identification as well as an appreciation of the cynicism and almost always perfect social commentary that rounds the program out.

I would like to note also I am the proud owner of the above piece of merch so am mega excited to see Aes wearing the same hoodie that will be bringing me so much warmth this year.
