Academic Week 7- I've been here two months!

This week I've really been focusing on revision as I have my first exam next week, so I've tried to keep the procrastination to a minimum. Therefore I don't really have a lot to report to you, but hopefully in the next few weeks there'll be fun things coming up.

My flatmate Jack studies art so I said i'd be a human canvas volunteer for his project, this is what he practiced on me the night before:

Probably the most interesting thing that happened this week was when Anna and I went shopping and happened to end up at a VIP event in Wintergarden shopping mall. They were giving out free food (canapes, oysters, cupcakes) and champagne (and also vodka and passion-fruit mixers) and all the shops had special deals on. We ended up spending hours there circling the shops for freebies and even talked to one of the designers!

Trying the oysters:

On Saturday, Ben, Anna and I went to the city to see some of the free things at the Brisbane Festival and get away from revision. We ended up at Southbank- singing and dancing with a busker who happened to be from England, then moved on to an outdoor bar (and were provided with free candyfloss!). We headed across the river to the casino, but swiftly left once we realised we couldn't join in any of the games because we're hopeless.  We decided to get something to eat, and ended up at Pie Face- guessing the name of the cashier which lead to Anna adding him on Facebook. All in all it was a good night.

As always I love looking out my window at all the different sights, I saw a lizard/tree dragon but it was too fast so I couldn't get a photo. However I did manage to capture a picture of this bird (i'm not entirely sure what it is), although it is very hard to see:
