Passed the DKT (Driver’s Knowledge Test) with ease, obtaining full marks on the exam. Shortly thereafter, I received my learner’s permit. Too easy. Can’t believe I postponed it for so long.

How I did it
It made me
Happy 
How I did it: Purchased 200 CHF worth of fireworks with my Aunt and set them off at midnight over the beautiful Lake Constance. It was an unforgettable experience, we weren't the only ones doing this so the pyrotechnics display was brilliant and plentiful. It almost felt like we were in a war zone - dissonant booms and bangs and red-hued glows over the water. Read how I did it…
It made me
so happy!
How I did it: Purchased my dress (as seen on pic) and shoes online months ahead in June when the exchange rate was considerably better. Had my hair done professionally by a popular hair stylist. Makeup and nails were done by yours truly. I was surprised with how well it all turned out. Don't feel as if you have to bring a date, I didn't. I still had a ton of fun with my friends.

In about 15 hours, I will be in a plane departing Sydney for Zurich. The days in Europe that await me have rendered me speechless; I anticipate many memorable experiences, interactions and sights in Zurich, Paris and London. But the duration of the flight causes me great discomfort…I’ve never been fond of flying, particularly flying alone. I will eagerly await the moment the plane touches down in Switzerland.
Wish me a safe trip everyone!
Excited!

I could invariably differentiate between a DSLR photo or P&S photo and genuinely appreciated the transparent distinctions in image quality. That said, I was always oblivious and ignorant to photography, settling for admiring other people’s work rather than creating my own. I was a spectator, not a player. That was fine for the most part but now, I yearn to make photography a hobby and take some snaps of my own. Possessing a DSLR camera would provide the ideal platform for honing my skills. I’m an unmitigated neophyte to the world of photography but we all have to start somewhere, don’t we? For these reasons, I took the leap and purchased the Nikon D60 with a twin lens kit (18-55 VR & 55-200 VR) off Ebay for AUD$810.00 which I found to be very reasonable. Accessories, additionally battery, lens filter, etc, are all included. I intend to read the entire manual during my flight to Zurich. 24 hours should suffice.
