Take me to FIJI!

The roomies and I are gearing up for our exciting 'holiday' to Fiji!! A 5 day vacation (from our already
vacation-like lifestyle here in Sydney) to an all inclusive resort. It will be one last hurrah for the four of us filled with lounging on the beach, sunshine, and memories. Such a great reward for the hell I've endured these past few weeks with school!! Plus, we even get to bring an actual bag this time since it's an international flight. I'll be honest, traveling with just a tiny backpack on your back for a week is not really my thing... I'm made for the beach lifestyle, we all know that.

Thank you Barry (our amazing travel agent) for sending all our info! Can't wait!


I'll share a few uplifting moments that have happened before I head off on my trip...

-My dear friend Eric celebrated his 21st birthday last week. We went to dinner in the city-they made me try sushi (so I tried the veggie one of course-yes, I still refuse to eat seafood). And I hated it. So now that I have officially given it a try, no one can convince me that I may like it and should check it out. Nope. Been there done that. But I sincerely enjoyed my rice and soy sauce. And cupcakes and champagne. Then we headed to the Ivy, a swanky pool lounge bar, for the rest of the evening.

yay friends!

-I also got my hair dyed ombre style!! I have been wanting to do it for a while, so I figured this was finally the time! It was ridiculously overpriced, but it looks fabulous and I love it so whatever. Worth it. You can't really tell what it looks like through a picture, so instead I will show you of what I promise it does look like on my idol Rachel Bilson.

(mine is MUCH more subtle than hers, but same concept)

-Another fun event: my friend Alexa and I went to visit our friend Max at University of Sydney and watched him perform in a musical through his uni's drama society. USyd is gorgeous-looks just like Hogwarts. It's right in the middle of the city with tons of things to do around it, but hey, we have the beach over here at UNSW, so no complaints. His play was a bit difficult to understand due to the thick Australian accents, but still a fun evening nonetheless. Alexa and I also stumbled upon a graffiti tunnel on their campus, and we had a bit too much fun doing a photoshoot there.





-Remember how excited I've been that I learned how to cook? I was doing so good-pasta, grilled veggies, chicken, salads, etc. Then this happened...



I was unaware that if you have the heat turned up too high when cooking chicken, oil splatters. And burns you. So my leg got scorched and I was forced to strip down in the kitchen and grab an ice tray from the freezer. Thank god my roommates were there to capture this moment instead of help me... At least it provides many, many laughs! (and my leg is a-okay, no worries!)


-And as promised-pictures from Vivid Sydney from last week:
