we made batman.

Yes, yes, long time no blog. What have i been up to uni wise? Too much work, new friends, and trying out new food at the quad store.

Well, lets start off with our excursion to Bronte Beach two (?) weeks ago. To sum it up: it was definitely not what i was expecting. Arriving a little before 9am was toture - the wind was crazy and the addition of the 'cool' ocean breeze was not needed. 

Look how gloomy the weather was!

However, our morning definitely perked up after a series of interesting activities. We did sketching, we did yoga, we did hip hop. Does that sound like industrial design to you? It definitely wasn't what i was imagining, but damn, it was one fun day. I met a lot of new people too, it was good for interaction and skill work.

After group activities, they fed us a yummy lunch of sandwiches and drinks. Everything looked so nicely presented that i didn't actually want to put a bite mark into my bread xD Haha, anyway, afterwards we got into groups of 4-5 people and we had to design a kite. Personally i've only flown a kite once, around 10 years ago, so my skills were definitely rusty to begin with. That, and i've never studied the art of kite making made the task extremely difficult but that's okay ... we succeeded in the end!

Garbage bags, bamboo sticks, skewers, tape, string.

Everyone already hard at work.

Our "instruction" manual that we weren't allowed to follow.

Our design :D

Teamwork ftw (:

Getting towards the final product.

Testing the durability of our kite.

Look at us :D

Our kite in all its glory.

Everyones kite designs. The Look like piles of garbage LOL.

Everyone on the beach getting ready to fly their designs!

Us, after we won the flying competition i think?

Getting ready to leave.

Our tutors were right when they told us this was one day we'd never forget. I loved it.
