I haven't updated in a while because i've been uber busy! Things are finally picking up so i'm having fun! On tuesday i finished shooting with my group for our video for class! It's so nice being able to do what i want! Back at school, because i'm one of like 5 girls in the film major i always have to fight to show that i know what i'm doing! Here however, i'm respected for being one of the more "experienced" filmmakers in our class because there is only like 5 of us that have any film background! So i'm treated with respect for what i know! But i use my 'power' wisely. Like when we shot i split up the script so that everyone got a chance to direct and shoot. And now in post-production i'm going to make sure everyone edits part of the video whether they want to or not; this way everyone gets the experience and we all contribute equally to the project! I think my group is the only group that actually gets along as well. In three of the other groups (there's 5) the experienced people are just taking over completly...acting like the guys back home pretty much. And then the other group doesn't get along very well. so i think my group will be the only group whose project was equally worked on by all members. I love it. It's not going to be fun going back home to fighting my way to do things. Oh well.
Anyways! On thursday i slept overnight at the Taronga Zoo! We were supposed to do the Roar and Snore but we ended up doing the Zoo Snooze. Both programs included a night tour through the zoo so we could see all the nocturnal animals as well as a session where they brought out some of the reptiles for us to pet. In the morning we got to feed giraffes and see the birds from the bird show up close! The only difference was that we slept in the education center instead of in tents in the zoo! It was still really cool though!! After the behind the scenes stuff we got a pass to the zoo for the day. We stayed until about 1 and then met up with a few of my friends that didn't go in the city and then we just wondered around for the day :) It was fun!!
Today i'm probably going to go out to eat with Sam and Emily and then tomorrow we might be going to the beach! On Tuesday I have the opera at the opera house! and then on wednesday i have Harry Potter at the imax!!!! i'm so excited!!!
So in general, i think i've fully accustomed myself to living in Australia. I've been using some of the lingo without meaning to; like i said to my friend the other day 'how are you going mate?' haha. And when i was in the city i looked right then left rather than left first (which is what i would have done at home; crossing from the left side). i think....well whatever way it was, i looked the way that the cars closest to me were coming from! Australians drive on the other side so i've had to get used to looking the other way first and yesterday i did it without even thinking about it! So i'm finally comfortable in Australia. I only have a few weeks left here but i'll be a natural australian for those few weeks! :P.
Well that's all for now mates! I hope everyone is going well! gday!
