E-democracies and e-participation’s final Summit in our online characters and we, the media, had to present.
My character is India King (scared john - boy!? Ha ha) and I was the editor of Incognita’s only broadsheet, it was so fun to present to everyone and the rest of media right worked so hard. We had a video slideshow as if we’d done interviews with citizens of Incognita and then a print out of a newspaper cover from our fictional paper. So much fun – but also glad it was over. It was getting a bit too full on but such a good learning experience!!
Yes I know I’m a geek but I don’t care, it was such a good way to experience democracies etc, even if it gave me a slight stress hernia.

BAROSSA TAKE THREE!!!
Now this one was a longer visit and a delightful one!! Although making me a bit homesick.
On the Saturday felt slightly seedy after the media pub crawl but I think it could have been the pancakes. Ha ha.
Went for some wine tasting (back on it) at JACOBS CREEK!! I was very excited also coz I know mum and dad like it. I go a picture of the sign and some of them were so yummy, although the lads from the Barossa tell me they are the worst wines because they’re too commercial and they don’t care about the taste so what do I know?! Lol.
Then went to visit the lovely Huon at his winery for more tastings then onto the CHEESE FACTORY! I was in heaven, you get to try everything and then we spent $30 on a cheese board!! I thought I may turn into cheese but it was so worth the tummy ache!!
Watched the sunset over the Barossa from trial hill which was beautiful. Got some good pictures so will try and upload them soon.
Back to Alex’s parents for yet more food (this is a big theme of the weekend!!) and a big family dinner – yum! – it was so good. Who ever thought of putting prawns in a pasta bake is a god!!
Then I had a VERY boy evening, there are somethings girls should not be a part of. And that’s not at all dissing women’s rights; there are just some things you don’t need to know about the male specie!!
Sunday was lovely, it was Alex’s parents 60th birthday so a massive family day. Glad more mates came!! Thanks hoon!! Made me a bit homesick due to all the speeches, etc. But such good food!!! It says something when ur mum is a home economics teacher, the food was amazing!!! I ate far too much though, and possibly a fair amount of red wine. Totally worth the overeating pains later!! Ha ha

MEDIA PUB CRAWL
What can I say? Another classic night!!
GET OFF YOUR FACEbook. Oh ha ha, how witty. And apparently bigger than Kates Party – standard!!
Stared off delightfully at Sez’s mansion, then nearly wet ourselves on the bus as we tried to make it to PJ’s the first bar on time. We missed it.
On to the Elephant ( I swear there’s only one route on all pub crawls here!!
Mansions was a new experience, slightly derro but with $2 shots and random other drinks you can’t really complain. I think there was another bar in there but I’m writing this a few weeks later so can’t remember (nothing to do with the amount of alcohol of course)
Ended at Electric Light once again where they had a fairly wicked band and then good times outside in their great beer garden although it was packed!!! $2 champagne though!! (I doubt that it was champagne in any form but by that time who can tell the difference and at $2 who cares!?
Night was quite ritually ended in the 24 pancake house, how we love it there!! But this time was just me, sarah and joe and no randomers called wHILLY!! Ha ha.

RESULTS
Yes I’m still working hard and getting the grades. We received a Distinction on our music video project which we were very happy with. We go 32 out of 40, basically the 8 marks were lost on the ending.
He said that is finished too abruptly and should have faded out although I really think that’s just a matter of personal taste to be honest.
Anyway go us!!

LUNCH AT AM’S
What can I say, I know this blog revolves around eating and drinking but really what more is there in life?!
AM IS AMAZING AT COOKING!! Why does it not happen more?!
She made us Mexican and us girls planned our road trip – yay!

UNI SKIVE
I know it is probably bad to put it on here but I only missed Video Production and we didn’t do anything anyway, I was told. I’d already handed in my first assignment and the other project I had nothing to do now.
Also I’ve finished studies so there’s not much they can do.
It was sunny so I went to the beach and had the most amazing malteaser cheesecake of my entire life!!!
Although penance for missing uni, I did get sunburnt.

FIRST CINEMA SINCE ARRIVAL!!
Went to see Robin Hood with all Simon’s friends, plus Jen. Simon didn’t come – GAY!
Was actually really good and the cinema was AMAZING!! It was a curvy screen so it was almost like it wrapped all around you!
Love It.
We even made the tram home, yay.
