The last couple of days have been busy - but not very entertaining. I have my major art project due on the 20th (worth 60% of my grade!) so I have been attempting to work on that as much as possible. I even went to the library and checked out some art history books. As a quick overview I am comparing the art of the early Australian explorers and the indigenous people already inhabiting the country, however I am focusing on Kangaroo art. I tried to pick something I could somewhat relate to - since I am not a very "artsy" person. My other classes have been going well and my work load should be fairly even after this week. I worked on Thursday (yesterday, it is Friday morning here) and finally figured out all my taxes and such which allowed me to get paid! Yay! Because I currently only have one job and make under a certain amount I can remain tax free and only have to start paying them if I accumulate over 3 grand (which I doubt I'll achieve). So I may hold off on the second job (because I couldn't claim it tax free) and see how many hours I can work in - my boss scheduled me for 2 days next week. Someone also told me I could work within the college and reduce my housing bill - which might more flexible and convenient in the long run so I'm going to look into it. It rained everyday this week and has been the coldest yet so I don't have any new wildlife for you. I did manage to catch a cold though - bleck! WARTS (the theatre society for the college) had their first showing of The Pajama Game last night. I decided to be an usher and help out where needed. I got wear pajamas all night and take money - which I wasn't very good at because on top of my being a failure at math I don't think I'm quite used to the coin versus dollar thing. Anyway I took some pictures of the show. Saturday I plan to ride the bike trail along the Yarra because apparently it leads to a more "wild" park - so we'll see and pray for sun!
