hello hello!

how are you all? how do you like the new lay-out? i really don't but there is jack-all i can do about it, hey!

it's my last official day of uni holidays, not that i attended much in the last two weeks of last term. consequently i am now 'at risk' of failing at least one of this semester's units (but probably 3). i am so frustrated with myself, my heart and mind seem on vastly different tracks. i really wanted to study this course - last year when i was just working i desperately wanted to study ANYTHING - but now that i am here i can't seem to commit to it. instead i dream of travelling europe by myself, or being a full-time nanny to my sister's kids so that SHE can finish HER degree. anyway. i'll try to catch up with the mountains of work i have missed and see how i go with the exams in june. i do look forward to having completed my bachelor of business in music industry/event management, i just want that time to be now...

with that vent out of the way, i have an awesome weekend planned!!! tomorrow is my dad's wedding i'll go straight to the hotel from work and hang around until the ceremony, then get a bus home after dinner
the next night after work i'll come home to a house full of sydney punks! my rad friends sydney city trash are on tour and have a massive melbourne show with killer bands, including steppin razor, also from sydney. this gig is also a celebration for my little bro's 19th birthday, sweetly convenient

working backwards, i had an ace time last weekend too! although i was randomly sick during the week (first i felt like my chest was collapsing and crushing my lungs, making it extremely difficult and painful to breathe; then that eased off and the next day my neck muscles had major spasms, causing an excruciating headache and horrible neck and shoulder pain. i had to pay a physiotherapist $140 to fix this one, which could only happen cos my beautiful boyfriend looked after me ) and therefore completely missed out on planned dates with my friends visiting from brisbane but then on sunday i left work early, met up with some close friends and headed to the 21st birthday picnic of another. little katie (the birthday girl ) and i don't see each other much these days, but she is still so amazing and special to me. i couldn't stay long at her celebrations but i'm so happy i could go at all.

the reason i had to split is because i had a one-off modelling gig! my ridiculously brilliant friend alice has started a screen-printing course this year, and is slowly building a business from her skills. she was invited to show her work in a fashion show for young local designers, and recruited her boyfriend leighton, me and our friend tom to wear her hoodies on the catwalk. it was a small but professional show - choreography, hair, make-up, photographers and all! so i shuffled down the runway, all prettied up, and it was fun there's pics on alice's site, i'll post some of my own when i find my usb cable! the next day i accompanied alice to a tattoo appointment, she got two and a half hours of colour on her half sleeve. it looks amazing and gives me tattoo cravings! so while i was there i had a drawing meeting with my artist for my next installment. i couldn't afford to give him a deposit though, so i don't know when i'll see the draft...

i've got more to write but this blog is already too long! so, love you all and talk soon, xox jen
