Uni

I love looking at the shapes of clouds as they pass by. When I was a kid I knew all the names, but now I have a life.
Haha who am I kidding, no I don't.

I really enjoy shooting in black and white. Wonder why that is. After I got my camera I realised that I never put any effort into framing a shot well; I just take pictures of whatever I want spontaneously. I guess it's just easier.

My mum found this bird nest in our lemon tree, it was empty though. Thinking about stealing it for my room if it's still there...

Anyway, going to Uni for the first time was an interesting experience, to say the least...my course was a little different from what I expected, especially my first actual design class - the weird things they make us do, you wouldn't believe. The first week they made us take 100 photos around Prahran to print off and so off I went.

God my voice is horrible. Speaking of which, it's been weird making friends at Uni. I guess the lack of contact hours combined with my completely introverted personality makes it kinda difficult. As you can tell from the photos my Uni's pretty kooky, it's like hipster central. I love wandering up and down Chapel St during my breaks, you find the weirdest things in consignment shops. Also for some reason I wasn't aware there was a performing circus located inside the grounds of my university.
Other weird things they made us do in Design Studio include collecting a smell in a jar and writing haikus based on our exploration, drawing with our eyes closed, opposite hands, etc...most people in our class are left wondering how on earth does anything we're doing relate to actual design. This doesn't create the most motivated classroom atmosphere, to say the least.
Thanks to Uni I've gotten more familiar with public transport, so I don't look like a lost kid when walking around the city anymore. Actually I probably still do, but at least I know where I'm going.
Well I have an exam in 3 days so I should probably go study for that.

Intermission

So I've been kinda AWOL this first Semester of Uni - oops.
I'm a lazy blogger.
I'm an even lazier person.
The first half of the year has been pretty hectic; adapting to University life, making no friends whatsoever, etc. It's been a total blast. I have so few contact hours that usually I'm at Uni for an hour or two a day; rather than making me want to attend, in reality it has the opposite effect resulting in me not wanting to attend and missing about half my classes.
I've also discovered I'm not exactly business minded and cannot fathom becoming a businessman in the foreseeable future...is taking a second degree in Business a mistake if I'm only doing it for the sake of having the degree?


Well enough about my life, I'm sure your life is boring enough as it is without having to endure reading about every single chronically dull aspect of my life.
Here are some photos of my art folio as place holders until I figure out how to go about posting the multitude of photos I've taken this Semester.
