Sheffield and The Peaks: My Home Away From Home (37/52)

And so, I have arrived in Sheffield – the Steel city. My home away from home (away from home) for the next six months of my life. Exchange in the UK should be an interesting experience. But we’ll see how it goes I suppose!

Check out the city in the distance, the weather here has been surprisingly nice and not what I thought England would be like at all.

Home: One Week Left To Go (34/52)

That’s right folks! One week before I leave for the UK! I’m spending my last week before I head over at home, just chilling out at the parents. I love the country sometimes, the wildlife, the clear skies free of light pollution. You can actually see the stars at night. It’s glorious.

Open Day (33/52)

One of the (few) advantages of waking up at some crazy hour to work on Open Day is the fact that you can see Sydney at it’s best (and also, there’s no traffic on Parramatta Road which basically halves my commute time!). This year, I have another great sunrise snap while I was waiting to cross the road to get to the bus stop.

Protest at MBFF (32/52)

Why is it that everywhere I go, I always run into some protest of one form of another? This time it was a protest at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival about the use of fur by certain clothing labels

Work (29/52)

Unfortunately I was at the Canberra Careers Market working for the uni basically the whole week so I wasn’t able to get out and take any photos so have some happy snaps.
