Paparazzi.

Scored huge today.

I had class from 10-12, HMR (human resource mgmt.) which went fairly smoothly. After dismissal, I attended yet another free Barbie sponsored by the Uni, drank a free can of RedBull from the RedBull girls (extremely beautiful, might I add) who were so willingly handing out those cans of rocket fuel, and bought my "Where's Wally" bar crawl ticket (and free t-shirt) for Friday arvo (Australian for "afternoon"). I then went and attended my advisor meeting. After a brief discussion and some enthusiastic and encouraging remarks from that dear Australian advisor, I was all set with my overseas work-study; I am now a freelance photographer.

Some how I've been blessed with the opportunity to work under my friend Greg Weatherall. My new internship encompasses working as a freelance photographer and media producer in as a work-study credit for Uni. I am beyond excited about learning from Greg and being able to go out and shoot Australian events and learn a few business antics! I feel so fortunate to have this opportunity and god knows where this will take me and who I will get to meet. I'm not joking when I say this place never stops getting better...every day I find myself saying..."damn, how the f--k did I manage that?" (but in a good way...usually). My first shoot is this Friday at 10 am....a flood awareness and relief fundraiser. Starting off Corporate. Leave it to me to find where the money is....now thats what I'm talking about.

In addition to making my day better, I got to enjoy a nice swim in the 74 or so degree ocean. And to add the cherry on top, I went and had dinner and shared a few beers with a some real down to earth people; Kat, from Adelaide, South OZ, and her roommate, Nate, a skateboarder from New Zealand. Great people....and definitely two more locals to hop on the bandwagon with.

Still got some things on my mind from the other day. Nothing a little positive vibes can't fix.



Life's not so bad on the Gold Coast...
