An Announcement

OK, I don't want to alarm anyone, but I need to make an important announcement. It is something of great pain to me. Everyone sit down, a moment of silence, a drum roll, I am not sure what is appropriate for this but:

Dad, you were right.

Oh the pain! The excruciating pain! I don't know how it could be true I am always right, what is happening, my world is turning upside down. (Well, actually it kind of is, I just came from the Norther Hemisphere to the Southern, but I digress.)

After being pestered by my Dad for photos of my place it made me realise that I have no photos of the area I am living in and they would be good to share and good for my memory. So the moral of the story is that yes Dad, I should stop procrastinating and take some pictures of scenery.

Look a bus stop! I am getting a little too familiar with those...

The architecture near where i live is a great mix of modern and older styles. They do try to keep in the same style and use brick on most things. This is a building that I pass on the walk to a friends house.

More mixing of architecture, it gives the area a neat personality.

Oh yeah and look cars driving on the other side of the road!

So Dad, reville in this moment, for I am finally admitting that I was wrong, even though I am always right. I hope everyone is having a pleasant yesterday. I must go to bed today/tomorrow

Won't You Be My Neighbour?

Well after months of pestering from my Dad, I have finally taken pictures of the complex I am living in. I have tried to explain to him that I was not procrastinating, because he loves that so much, but instead I was simply building anticipation. So drum roll please. dndndndndndndndndndnd(not really sure how to type a drum roll sound but that will work for these purposes.)

Allow me to take you on a walking tour of complex.

As you can see the complex is actually quite pretty with the brick buildings and vegetation planted all around. At some point during the year (I think Spring) those green bushes explode with pink flowers...it is absolutely beautiful. I am not going to reveal where among this complex I really live for fear of creepy internet stories I have been told, but curiosity can be directed to me for further information. See Dad I told you I would do it, it only took me several months to post this several minute blog, but the anticipation made it so much more exciting!

I hope everyone is having a pleasant yesterday.

A Trip to the Psych Ward...

Well we all knew the time would come where I would have to visit the psych ward. However, maybe not as many of you might have thought. (I may be a little nutty but I am not completely off my rocker, come on give me a little credit.) My first class of the year was held on a separate campus (The Sydney College of Arts Campus) which happens to be an old abandoned psych hospital. I would also like to point out that I do not especially appreciate having a seriously haunted looking place as the location for my latest night class, not exactly a warming feeling to go to bed to. The complex is locked up as if it were a psych ward, literally a security guard had to let us into the building and into the interior of the complex. Maybe they just make you stay if they think you are a bit too crazy and then they just never let you out. All I know is that as I walked through the closed corridors of this old hospital there was just no way to stop my imagination from thinking that the cast from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest was watching around every corner.

Despite the eeriness of the location the class was actually quite good, I will be learning how to make animations, so that will be fun! I hope that everyone is feeling sane in yesterland.
