Finished!

Exams are finished, and what a good feeling! I now have another week in Sydney before heading to Ballarat untill Christmas. It's kind of a relief to have this year over - though it has been good. Because I'm on holidays now, I am officially lazy and can't be bothered writing about all I've been up to lately, so here are my last couple of weeks in pictures...

How much fun are mechanical bulls!

Studying for Exams

U2!

Team prepares for an interesting time together in Africa

I know you...you're that guy from Rosin!

Wow...it has almost been a month since my last post! Hopefully that a sign that I am busy, not that I just have a boring life. Well, this last month has been taken up mostly with finishing off assignments and preparing for exams, though there has been some fun stuff - like seeing U2 in concert on Monday... I'm very ready for holidays though.

Last week the band - Rosin - went to a friends place and recorded a bit of a demo in his shed. It was a bit of fun and it actually came out pretty good for a backyard job. I was chatting to Matt that morning - Matt plays electric - and he said he had been at a party on the weekend. He didn't know a lot of the people there and wasn't feeling very sociable, but eventually decided he should go and talk to some people. He introduced himself to two girls at the table...

"Hi I'm Matt"
"Oh, we know you...your that guitarist from Rosin!"

I think it threw him a bit - the expression on his face was quite funny - and when he told me I just laughed and laughed! So, I was at a 21st birthday party on the weekend. I didn't know heaps of people there, but was doing the photos for the party so I was getting to go around and meet people. I was chatting to two girls who I had just met when one of them says...

"So we've been trying to figure out what that drum is that you play..."

It turns out that they were at our last gig and now I have to admitt that I was the one getting thrown and I think the expression on my face was probably even funnier than Matt's. Wow, we are famous and we've only played three gigs! Yea, lol.
