Things I gone and done

WOW. Three words: what a week. This past week has been non-stop, and no-one can understand right now how beautiful it feels just to be sitting on my ass in bed with my laptop doing absolutely nothing and not being expected anywhere for the entire day. Pure bliss.

Here are some of the things I got up to over the past week:
1. I've been selected as an editor of an amazing new Australia-wide business journal called Inside Enterprise that is run and written by students. It's going to be amazing and I cannot wait to see it grow into something incredible! I'm the Online Content Director, meaning I'll be essentially editing the articles going on the website and making sure that everything runs smoothly, and occasionally writing a thing or two. SO EXCITED! I've always been interested in the editing side of journalism so this is an absolutely fantastic opportunity.
2. Running on a ticket for the SRC elections. More on that later!
3. Went to my boyfriend's university/faculty ball/formal sort of thing. It was at Luna Park-the most SPECTACULAR venue! We were in the function room right next to the ferris wheel and the Harbour Bridge, which resulted in way too many cute couple shots in front of that insane backdrop. I cannot remember the last time I got to dress up for something like this so I could barely contain my excitement-went for a long coral-coloured maxi dress and got my hair done into waves (it was so insanely beautiful not having dead-straight/lifeless hair!). The company was brilliant, food was so tasty, and the whole night was spectacular! Began babysitting the next morning though at 6.30am which was the challenge of the century, having gone to bed in the early hours of the morning.
4. Went to my university's law revue, hilariously titled Love Contractually (Get it?? GET ITTT???). I went along because a couple of my friends were in it and I was BLOWN AWAY. Some of the skits were so funny that I was literally crying of laughter. Not as in merely watery eyes-I had tears streaming down my face. I could list all of my favourite skits but we don't want this blog post to be as long as Ulysses.

So there you have it folks. These are some things that I got up to amongst working and interning and half-heartedly attempting to stay on top of my uni work. Hope you all are having a fantastic weekend!

Semester Two: BEGINNINGS

So the holidays ended and the second semester of my second year of university has begun! In between university, interning (which I absolutely LOVE), drinking contaminated water (go Chloe) and work, I have finally found time to post a long overdue update!

The subjects that I'm doing this semester are not only amazing as individual subjects, but compliment each other PERFECTLY! I'm doing PR, Media Relations and Video Production as my media-focused subjects, and so far I'm genuinely loving all of them-they're all really interesting and super practical and what's more, I can take things I learn from one subject and use it in another. Go Chloe. Also, for my history subject I'm taking a course on 'China's Traumas' which I'm finding really interesting as I have NO previous knowledge of any sort of Chinese history whatsoever!

This week also saw something AMAZEBALLS happen. As part of my boyfriend's 20th birthday present I bought us tickets to the opening night of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead at Sydney Theatre Company. As soon as I saw it announced in the season program at the beginning of the year I KNEW I WAS GOING TO GO. We also both love Tim Minchin, so going was kind of a given. We nearly missed the beginning of the play (we bolted through Circular Quay and my heels literally butchered my right ankle), but we made it! The play was absolutely phenomenal. Everything about it-the acting, the dialogue, the SET, the music-EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! If you're into theatre that's pretty absurd, or just love Tim Minchin, you should definitely go and check it out.

But the story doesn't end there, folks! As soon as the play ended, we ran (well I hobbled) to the stage door, which I knew the location of as a result of previous celeb stalking at the theatre. We thought a million Minchin fans would be lurking there, but alas! We were wrong. The stage door was deserted except for us and Eddie Perfect who walked past us 484983928923 times. After about fifteen minutes one of the play's actors came out and was so friendly-to the point where he tipped us off as to where the play's after party was. Nice guy. Then Toby Schmitz came out with his trucker cap down low and girlfriend in hand. I GOT SO STAR STRUCK and I'm not even a massive fan of him, and Will and I both chickened out of asking him for a picture because he was too intimidating.

Then things started to get real. Tim Minchin exited the stage door and began walking with a group of friends, with his hoodie up to hide his signature hair. He didn't trick us. I got pretty nervous as I didn't want to ruin his cute date with his friends, but as soon as he saw us waiting to see him he left his friends and came over and put down the hood of his jumper. He was such a genuinely lovely and humble guy-thanked us for seeing the show, let us waffle on about our favourite songs of his without disregarding us as complete losers, complemented Will's bow tie and then got his wife to take a picture of us. While it was all happening my mind was going FJFJSDIOFJSIODJFIOSDJFIDO. They then left, and Will and I bolted around a corner and did the most psycho 'I'm so happy we just met Tim Minchin' happy dance that you've ever seen. Good times.

In other news, my Blackberry died. Yes. It feels like I've lost a part of me. Basically the sensor scroll button thing has stopped working which makes the phone unusable. So I'm sucking it up and going on an iPhone plan (yes, plan-I'm a big girl now) on Sunday. For now, I'm using a phone bought for $29 from Coles that looks like it's from the 1990s. I can't even type messages without feeling like I have arthritis.

I hope you are all having a splendid week/first few weeks of semester!
