have you found the post-grad course you wanted to get into?
my university course interview went beyond awesome, the two interviewers I had - one were a new typography teacher, and one were a fashion design lecturer. both of them couldn't stop telling me how sophisticated my works were, and the typography teacher raved about my non-format typography style, hehe. he sure does know his stuff!
and on a lighter note, i've been good - life's on the up. how have you been?

Hi!
I thought I'd get you posted about latest update with my university application, the University rang us recently and the lady loved the portfolio, personally she thinks it will be shortlisted automatically basing on its contents and presentation, and then my entry will rest on the overall score in my VCE, and the interview.
So so, how's all the visits - found any University that runs right in your lane, and considering to apply?
Okay, it just clocked over 4am! Its time for me to catch some quality shut-eyes.
Hello there, I'm alright - finished 4 exams, 3 to go and then I am done with school forever, until university/further studies in future.
Architecture, go you! cross-disciplinary is the way we should be, not all of us - but few of us so to speak, haha.
Only in Melbourne, because I am not not keen on getting into University rather than scoring some hands-on industry experience, so I am thinking - at least 1 year of traveling and working (preferably in USA/Europe). If I get accepted into this particular University course, I might as well defer it.
That is all! Susan, keep me updated whereas I will keep you updated.
haha I hadnt even seen your comment and yet I still did post my ____! I'm a little trollop, as my gran would say. But what about your _____ - surely they need a debut? ;)
susan, i am in love with this photo you took of amy with the green dress levitating. its so awesome.
okay, i'm really flattered. by the fact, that patrick declared that i will work with him first, haha. and you even took the yards to mention about 'a talented young boy from australia on myspace' hehe.
that's good to read, life's good here apart from the frenzy of studying anticipating the finals (final exams, i am in my final year of highschool, so it is career/or uni next).
take care.

Hi Susan,
patrick mentioned of you in our recent msn conversation and the fact that you mentioned of me at a dinner with him is awesome. hehe.
how have you been? and how's work/life combination treating you?
Not quite as good, but next summer I should (hopefully) be in NY. And yes, I'll be bringing plenty of ballgowns. (My rule of thumb - if you have fewer ballgowns than pairs of underwear that simply isn't extravagant enough.)
