Graffiti!!!!! :D

Wednesday 3/11/2010
Tonight we had the Graffiti party!!! It was at Bar 121 and we all wore white shirts and used fabric texters to write on eachothers’ shirt. We had unit awards and the 2011 IMA team was announced. It was a really fun way to say goodbye to the semester and have one last shindig with our college mates.

Reunion Ball and Open Day!

Sat’day
Today was the IH Reunion Ball! So exciting! Sam and Bridget came over and I did Sam’s hair; some of my best work! =) We were running out of time so I had to do my hair quickly! I had a new hair accessory and dress, so it was rather easy to pin it half up , straighten my fringe, and spritz my already curly curls.
We went out to the courtyard for mingling and nibbles. Had a group picture and then we walked to the Brennan Room for our dinner/banquet. There were lots of speeches and awards to give, but it was a lovely dinner. There was a live band, but only a few dancing.
The after party in the Green Room started at 11pm but most people were in 610 or other blocks/units. Then eventually we all go to the Green Room and started dancing. The DJ was hoppin! Tables came out and people started being thrown into the pool after a short time! It was getting really hot in there so I left to change into my bathers and shorts and a singlet (I had a feeling I would be thrown in, figured I might as well be prepared). (That feeling was a “warning” from my brother Sean.) It was a fun night! Everyone enjoyed themselves and no one got hurt. Got very wet even after I changed clothes, but still a good night. =)
Sunday was Open Day. A day for IH alumna to come and have a barbee and play/watch touch footy and look around the college they used to live in again. Only one assignment left to finish so I bummed around college for a couple of days. Sunning, reading, and relaxing.

18/10 – 31/10

The next couple of weeks were just busy with uniwork and hanging out with friends. Squeezing in sleep somewhere was on the list too. ;) On Sat’day (23rd) I didn’t sleep the night before so I went with Nattie and we watched the sunrise at the beach. The waves were crashing over the rocks was a really neat thing to watch change as the tide came in. After the sun came up we went and got some brekky and then went to Jesmond Park. It was so pretty and nice to just walk and talk.
Later I played a terrible game of pool with my friend Aaron and then we chilled at the pool. Grabbed some dinner and then we watched Boondock Saints 2. This was a long awaited movie! We had been planning on watching this movie for the entire semester! It had been rain-checked so many times it was starting to get annoying! :P lol. After the movie we talked for a bit then decided to watch another movie, lol. It was a really chill/lazy night. It started raining at some point during the second movie. I made a comment about how I missed real thunderstorms, so Aaron put on a youtube clip of thunder and lightning! :)
I slept for quite a while that night...haha woke up around 2:30 in the arvo. Today was just a rainy/sleepy day.

Wednesday
Back was still spasming terribly from Monday, but I had to photograph the Halloween Party at Bar on the Hill. There were heaps of good costumes about, but my favourite was the Sweeney Todd character!

Friday
Went to Body Balance with Rhiannon and then when we got back Liam and Emma had just started carving a pumpkin! I got to help! =] I cleaned out the guts and carved part of it! Fantastic start to my weekend! Showered and then put on my new mini-dress to go out with everyone. Jono, Victoria, Timmy and I went to the Hotel Delaney for a bit and then walked to Finnegans to join everyone else. It was a pretty crazy night. We spent most of it looking for people or looking for lost phones!
