What happened over Summer

Hello!
I decided to let this blog go, to not update it ever again (albeit half-heartedly, obviously). So, clearly, I am back!
A lot happened over my Summer holidays.
Mainly, I went to Sydney and Melbourne and got to see the AMAZING Harry Potter Exhibition!
I decided to read 50 books this year, got a new computer, started driving again and became a trainee figure skating coach.
The plan was to eventually become a fully accredited coach, but I wont have time to do that AND pass my Nursing degree. So I chose Nursing!

The HP Exhibition was absolutely fab. It was a truly wonderful experience, being up close to the props and costumes from the films. My favourite parts were the Dementor, The Bloody Baron's costume and the Great Hall set up. Hagrid's hut and the interactive sections were really good too. None of it was bad. Even the one little broken mandrake with the sign that read "I'm taking a nap!" was brilliant.

The Ford Anglia! This was the only thing I could take a photo of, as it was in the Foyer and not the Exhibition, where photography was NOT ALLOWED else be ATTACKED BY NARGLES.

Apart from that, we did the usual tourist-y tours of Sydney and Melbourne, which was fun!
Here are some photos, and I will update again soon, I promise :)

Adventures hooray :3

So today was adventure day!

Firstly i dragged Lana to unilife to try and sell one of my text books from last year but it turns out they have since changed the required texts for the course so i couldn't sell it :/
Then we went to the art gallery and the museum, which was a lot of fun!

After that we visited the T-bar and drank orange pekoe tea. It was very nice.

Then we;
- tried on hats in David Jones
- bought matching rings

- went to an op shop
- got lunch
- freaked out over Doctor Who in the ABC shop
- went to a lecture
- left before it started
- sat on the computers in the library
- wandered about aimlessly
- picked up Lana's birth certificate from a really shiny building
- snuck into a semi-abandoned warehouse/bar/thing down a dark alley
- bought icecream
- rummaged through a bookshop

- caught a train home
- stole some cherry blossoms :3


Words cannot express how brilliant this day was. Honestly. So much fun!!
