New Job & Joelle's 21st

Along with starting University I also started a new job at Hello Fresh. Gloria Jeans didn't have any shifts for me which is code for you cost too much money. So I was down to two jobs, Hello Fresh and Woolworths.

I went to Glebe Record Market with my dad and expanded my collection to include Nick Cave, a bit of Miley and Prodigy plus more.

Tried Ippudo ramen with my work friends for lunch one day. It was pretty nice but I prefer the noodles at Yasaka.

I put my face on and ended up dressing up a bit Madonna-esque by accident for Joelle's 21st. I would write where my outfit is from but to be honest most of it is from Japan.

This is Joelle's family home in Castle Hill and it is just beautiful. She lives in the little cottage at the bottom and she has two horses that live right outside her bedroom window. Jealous doesn't even begin to cover how I feel. I will forever dream about one day owning my own horse.

Everyone had to bring a plate and this is how it ended up. Please note that someone actually bought chicken nuggets from McDonalds. Shout out to the absolute legend who supplied the sushi platters, my one true weakness.

Sadly Ben and Kat couldn't join us, but four out of six ain't half bad.

Joelle is actually moving overseas pretty soon. I can't wait to read all about her travels on her blog at Femme Fitale

This is what family dinners look like with my cousins.

Fast Pho at Ultimo

My personnel trainer boyfriend helping me tone up for summer.

Went to Contrabando on a Groupon on deal. All you can eat tacos!! We smashed this deal and came out ahead with massive food comas, but it was totally worth it. The deal is up again I am pretty sure, 10/10 would recommend. 

After obsessing for forever I finally bought my very own Reid bicycle! I couldn't locate the lilac bike that I wanted anywhere and I found out that they actually discontinued the colour, which is a shame because it was perfection. But I found the next best thing, this baby pink beauty. Still looking for a name. Hit me up if you think of anything good here.

Baby's first bike ride, she fits perfectly and she really loves it.

At this point Uni is starting to get to me, it's even turning my hair grey! But seriously look how unhappy that uni student looks.

More to come. I am speeding through these post Japan blog posts because exciting things are coming..

Starting University & Pop to Popism

At this point in time it seems I am taking a bit of a trip down memory lane because this just isn't even my life anymore. After Japan I was so excited to be starting my studies at Sydney University. I was happy to be in the University even if it wasn't the course I wanted. I was enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts but I wanted to be studying a Bach of International and Global studies. I was under the impression that as long as I got in to the University I would be fine and that I could transfer within the faculty. I was wrong, everything is different now. But lets start from the beginning.

I made sure I attended O week and did the whole freshman dance. I signed up to everything I needed to be a member of and even things I didn't need to be. It was actually nice doing it years after finishing highschool, at least there was no chance of running in to humans who at this point in time I would not even remember their names. 

That afternoon I took myself on a date to the museum. I had been dying to see this exhibit and I literally just caught it on it's last weekend.

This was one of my favourites.

This was my other favourite.

I then treated myself to some lonely ramen at Yasaka Ramen, still one of my favourite Sydney ramen joints.

I treated my bumper with a but of Japan memorabilia. 

More Japan memorabilia.

Just a little photoshoot with my model of a dog.

I had enrolled in Sociology, French Studies, Anthropology and Government Studies. Socio was by far my favourite subject. I made the most friends in French though. And by most I mean all two of them.

Favourite bathroom colour scheme at University.

My hair was changing colours just like the leaves on the trees.

Just a big bowl of lonely pho at some miscellaneous place near campus.

That difference in style. Can you tell which one just came back from Japan?

Just a casual dinner with the babes for Gen's birthday.

Found a place on campus that sold really cheap coconuts! Did not care how weird I looked walking around with a coconut. Nothing beats fresh coconut water and plus it makes you feel like you are on a tropical island, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Remember the stormpocalypse of 2015?

I spent a good amount of my time on campus trying to find either places to sit in the library or quiet pretty places to eat my lunch. Consider my adventures at Uni TBC.
