This southbound I used shotty reject store disposable cameras, instead of the usual polaroid disposable ones. Pretty big mistake, as most of them weren't the best quality. Nonetheless, here's some more snaps from this years Southbound festival.
In other news, this summer has been passing splendidly. We've had 40° heat for the past four days, which sounds quite terrible but I've had nothing to do except for laze about the house and go for a swim so it really wasn't too bad. I've picked up a few hobbies, which includes skating, playing piano and swing dancing. Australia day came and passed, and so did the hottest 100 of 2011. I chose my units for 2012, and after much um-ing and ah-ing decided to keep studying French, International Relations and Communications. My next investment will be a proper lens for my film F65 SLR, and everything else is going to go into saving for post-university travels. So much to do, so much to see!

Pretty much ready to get back into those early morning wake ups, busy schedules and late night library sessions (not to mention, the return into the whole preppy university outfit vibe again). Here's two new purchases for the new university semester; super shiny white converse and a Longchamp Le Pliage backpack in bilberry. This semester I shall be studying Digital Media, New Media and Communications, International Political Economy, Politics of the Mass Media and French. I think I'm pretty set now on completing a triple major in Communications, International Relations and French by the end of my degree. Yaaay!
Pan Am, along with Revenge, is probably my two favourite picks for the 2011/2012 television season. Set in the 60's, Pan Am is a period drama focusing on the lives of Pan Am stewardesses. The costuming is amazing, and the production value is set quite high (with the pilot episode costing $10 million to produce). The series avoids being typecast into a soppy women's drama, despite having four female leads, through linking many of the plot lines into political history. There's also a twist of Cold War espionage with the character of Kate, who in the second episode becomes an American spy due to her ability to travel seamlessly throughout the world.
