farewells, babies and exhibitions

, , No Comments
so much excitement last week.
lazy lazy entry.

friday was mel's farewell, where we headed to the royal for lunch
admirable awkward levels seeing as brett was the only supervisor present
good moment was when janice pulled faces and me and dom had NO. idea what she was trying to say.
lunch was pretty cool, managed to keep the conversation following despite there being - dan, tony, dom, ann, janice, brett, mel, me, michelle and joe?
another good moment was bumping into my supervisor as we were walking back towards uni in a big group.

the rest of the afternoon was spent playing games, after adam joined us.
started off playing murder and lol at us choosing michelle and dan right off. HILARITY!
and it was even more hilarious when me and janice were celebrating with some major screams and jumps and then i look towards the door and i'm like hi brett and janice is all...lol you lie. but brett was actually standing there. good stuff!
and then the remainder of the arvo was spent playing good ol' sporcle.

so proud of myself because i worked (a little bit) on saturday before heading down to charity's place for an epic feast
gina, charity's 7 week old baby, was an absolute cutie. fdas;fjas;lkfas
i think we all caught a bit of baby fever.
it was so great catching up with the old workmates and their SOs - bob, vinnci, vrinda, anubhav, charity and daniel - and still have that same old dynamic we always had. lame jokes and cracks and all.
vrinda definitely brought the most blonde moments that night.
so weird that everyone was talking about marriage and babies and i'm still just...me.

 

then sunday was a bit of an anomaly. 
i went out with a bunch of white people - bel, adam, rachel and meg. i was a token asian!
never thought i'd live to see the day. 
we went to the harry potter exhibition and frolicked around the museum for a bit. 
the exhibition was pretty cool, i wish they'd let us take pictures though. i think highlights was watching the real life version of hermione shoot her hand up for the sorting hat, pulling up mandrakes, deliberating over whether to push little kids out of the way to get to the qudditch, seeing the fake feast food. 
was pleasantly surprised by the production value of the whole exhibit. 
after that we strolled around the city, chatting and enjoying the sun. i think at one point, meg almost ate someone because she was so hungry. 
ended up at grill'd and lindt for lunch and arvo tea. 
had so much fun that my planned exit of 4pm was long gone by the time our day ended. 
i think i got home around 9?


all in all, a great week. 
talked to heaaaaaaps of people i don't usually talk to. 
went out and had fun. 
destressed a little from placement and phD. 
now, just to keep it up!
