RMIT VIP Industry Night

In a previous post I had mentioned myself being nominated for the Pacific Brands 'Undergraduate of the Year', which was amazing. The awards ceremony was last night, didn't win, but it was still amazing to be a part of it!

L-R: Collette (From Pacific Brands) Myself, Sarah, Erin and Sarah (The 4 Finalists) and.. I forget his name. The 1st Sarah won the grand prize!

Me & The Parentals :)

Was a good night!

Glittery nails!

How pretty are these nailsssss!? (Don't mind my hands they look all dry and gross).
They're the Sally Hansen salon effect nail strip things. I've had them before, from a different brand, with just a block colour but these are awesome! Me and my work bestie are sporting them this week :)

The packaging

This is what you get in the box

You basically stick these things on your nails and then file them off! The ones I had last time lasted about 10 days. I've had mine on for 4 days they're still pretty good, some of them have chipping at the end, but still quite good! I've seen these at Priceline, Target, Kmart etc. etc. anywhere that sells Sally Hansen and retails for around $14.95. Go try them out!

Interview

So you guys probably already know since I've told you (mostly in person) about my exciting news! I'm one of the four finalists for RMIT School of Fashion & Textiles 'Undergraduate of the Year'! Pretty cool stuff. I found out a couple weeks ago on the down low but didn't want to say anything until I was 100% sure. Today I had to go in for an interview with an independent panel of 3, who determine who is actually receives the award. I think the interview went well, I only didn't feel confident when they were asking me about what I had done to get in contact with people in the industry etc, eep. Anyway, I'll let you know how it all goes on the night (next Tuesday 22/11).

Amazing

This seriously just made me smile :)

We are in a good place.

I was really apprehensive about that meeting.

I spent the whole week worrying about it,

and preparing what I would say to you.

In the beginning I was successful, gave

you the cold shoulder, that I believed you

deserve. After time, with help, I realised

it was stupid. You're not a bad person, and I

truly believe we can be friends. I think we 

are in an amazing place I never thought we'd

get to. I'm glad it happened, it makes me smile.

We have come to agreement, and it works for 

both us. I truly wish you all the best in life.

You are an amazing person, and I'm glad we

we had the time together that we did.

Love,

Dawn

Helvetica

Okay, If you don't already know, I am a massive nerd. Whether it be about.. technology or anything, I always seem to get involved. I'm going to start posting things I get nerdy about.. haha.
First up, fonts/ typefaces. I will judge you accordingly depending on what typeface you choose.
I saw this site and laughed so freaking much:

http://comicsanscriminal.com/

I. Hate. Comic Sans.
This is literally the worst font possibly imaginable and just.. look, you won't get your message across successfully.

Last night I watched a documentary about 'Helvetica', I'm sure you're all aware of this font. It is literally everywhere.

Seriously, I was nerding over this so hard. I really really enjoyed it. I was a history of the font, where it originated etc. etc. But if you're in to that kind of stuff.. look in to it, it was good :)

My current favourite font at the moment too is:

Isn't it just sexy? It's such a classy typeface.

Anyway, enough nerding about typefaces.. Although you will hear about them again, I've ordered a book about them.. the history of all the basic ones etc. Haha you will be getting a book review :)

Exciting Times

So of course I'm blogging instead of doing what I should be doing which is finishing off my research report for my major project, and studying for an exam I have tomorrow. After hours of doing the same thing over and over again, your brain just stops working, and that is where I am at the moment. This time next week, it will be all over. I will have finished all my university assessments, for life. Granted, there is a slight chance that I will fail a subject but let's not think about that right now.

We are in November, how crazy is that? A lot of exciting things are coming up within the next month or so! I have K's engagement party this weekend (how exciting, congratulations xx), this time next week I'll be a free woman, I have a graduate exhibition (which I'll tell you the news when it's official) and officially graduating on the 14th of December (you know the drill, the graduation ceremony at Etihad, blah blah).

As soon as I finish I'm going to be scouring the job sites and applying for everything I can! I've applied for 3 jobs so far, one of which I received a generic rejection letter, and the latter the closing dates have just passed so we'll wait and see, you guys will be the first to know!

Anyway, that's a little update. I suppose I should go back to this:

Studying

Nothing fun to report today except my disgustingly messy desk in which I am trying to do work on, watching lectures.. not cool, not cool man.
