European survival guide

Posted by Jaydon on 19 October, 2012

I’ve not posted a blog for four months, and amidst constant rumblings of discontent from Leanne (I’m just kidding Leanne – you’re great), I thought I’d pen another.

In fairness, access to computers has been at an absolute premium up until recently. I just spent two and a half months traversing Europe with a mate of mine, which needless to say was amazing. Our travels took in fifteen countries, twenty-something different hostels, too much alcohol, and probably not quite enough culture. I ran with the bulls at the San Fermin Festival in Pamplona, went to Benicassim music festival in Spain, and visited Dachau Concentration Camp in Munich.

Itchy Feet

Posted by Jaydon on 27 April, 2012

Hey, my name’s Jay, and I’ve never written a blog before, so be gentle yeah? I kind of feel like the whole concept of a blog is a bit self indulgent. Writing 1000 words in a stream of consciousness isn’t something that is generally within my comfort zone. But then again I’m a Fine Arts student, so what the hell do I know.

I’m in my third year of a double degree in a Bachelor of Fine Arts/Bachelor of Business. I kind of feel like third year is the grade ten of university – you know your way around, but you definitely aren’t the big dog around the place yet. You’ve been here long enough to know you should do your homework, but savvy enough to know that you’ll scrape a pass even if you don’t do it. You know the toilet cubicles in Z block have some pretty hilarious graffiti conversations. And you know it’s only going to get more hectic between now and graduating.
