(alarm sound)
Good morning, it is Saturday
and today is the first day in a week of my life that I'm going to show you. My room is a bit messy
so I think I'll have to do a little clean of that, so that it doesn't get too out of control
I've got to make myself a cup of tea and
then we're good to go. This is the design I have to build, so I'm just going to
take the measurements. So I've made this wire structure
and I'm gonna cover it in some plaster wrap or maybe some paper mache
Okay, the whole thing has been wrapped in duct tape excluding where I need there to be holes
so now I'm going to wrap it in plaster wrap and I'm making a second smaller one in exactly the same method.
I'll do a sketch beforehand so that I have all the measurements at hand to be able to reference when I need them
So I need to do a load of laundry
And get that hanging up on the line and then I can come back to this and do the plaster
Okay
So the plaster is drying at the moment
next I'm taking some polymer clay and I'm gonna be making some little
sculptural pieces for the inside of the model. Some of this clay is really old but I heard on the internet that you can use
mineral oil - aka baby oil - to soften the clay. That's the plan!
Look how cute!!! And the tools I'm using are just things I have around my house: a razor blade
the end of a paintbrush and the clay
So I just went to a three-year-olds birthday party
Now I'm coming back to continue to work on my little sculpting projects.
I've got these little mushrooms that I've made and then I've also got these ones which I've made and
Some little colorful fungi that are in the oven at the moment. Tomorrow, I'm going into the city to work with my friend Jeremy
We're going to work together on our models
So ... I won't make it too late tonight
Okay, so I've been packing all my stuff to bring to uni - most of it
I put together last night - and I'm bringing some tea sachets and a thermos full of hot water so that I can make myself
a tea throughout the day. It is 8:30am, so I'm gonna go leave for the train and
get to uni!
My stock is falling down in my shoe!!!  Ok, so I'm on the train and I'm gonna be doing some photo editing and then some
video editing for YouTube, just because it's the most useful way to spend my time.
I'm the only one here.....
This is Jeremy (my uni husband)
Me: What are you working on? Jeremy: So I am building some floating stairs.
Me: Beautiful! Very nice! 
Jeremy: And then I've got these
these will be a spiral staircase eventually too.
Me: and they interlock in that little hole down there? 
Jeremy: Yeah
Me: And this is Audrey! 
Audrey: Hello
Me: What you up to Audrey? making a little tired?
Audrey: making a little tiled pool
Me: oh cool!
Audrey: we'll see how it turns out.
Me: (whispering) are the to scale?
Audrey: .... i think so
Looks good! And I'm covering this with clay, which is taking a really heckin' long time
So I just realized that...
the clay is not gonna work. It's cracking and it doesn't hold its shape. So I need to peel the whole thing off and
replace it with paper mache. So I just
have wasted in five hours.
But I'm going to make myself another tea and we'll just keep going
See that gap there? Funny story - not really funny
actually - I once dropped a whole bunch of model-making supplies right down the drop of the elevator shaft
and it was the worst day of my life.
Okay, so I've gotta rush to Basement Books to get some tissue paper,
so that we can do some paper mache and then I can continue
All right, got my tissue paper, and we've got two hours before I have dinner plans this afternoon so I've gotta get started!
Me: Bye guys! 
Bye friend!
I'm about to meet my friend Laura for dinner!
(Talking to my camera) Hello, let me focus.
Thats what my teacher said to me in highschool
Thats gonna be in the vlog!
Hello everybody, my name's Laura, I'm here with Tash and we are having amazing food!
That is the truffle pizza - whoa whoa whoa food p0rn food p0rn!
And pesto gnocchi with broccoli, and chili oil.
We are vegetarian and fantastic!
Mmmmm! Delicious!
(I'm not sure what's going on here)
So Laura has very kindly driven me home!  (Sigh) as much as I want to go to bed
I need to get the base of this completely made tonight
So the time is 8 o'clock, I'm off to work now
I won't be able to film inside, of course, because I've got work to do and
I'm starting a bit earlier today so I can take a longer lunch break to go to the shops and
get some fabric and some foam core for my model. So that's the plan!
I'll see you again on my lunch break!
It's 12 o'clock. I'm on my lunch break
Also three of my colleagues just informed me that the back of my head - like my hair -
 is turning green!
So, that's great, I guess that's what I deserve for using a box dye to do my hair
So, I've got it up in a bun - it's traumatic to think about. I think to get enough to get it fixed professionally.
 
Okay, now I'm off to office works to get some foam core and then I think I'll be ready to go back to work
We're here!
That should do..
Okay, it's 5 o'clock
I've just finished work and now I have to go home and really quickly make my model box out of the foam core and
then I'm going to visit my dad's house.
See my siblings, have dinner with them, then paint the model tonight. That's the plan!
So I just got to my dad's house. He lives about an hour away from me.
So I've driven here tonight to have dinner and stay over, and just spend some time with my family.
And usually on a Monday night, I'll come here and do painting in the evening. But tonight I'm actually gonna work on my assignment.
Whoa!! What???
And there she goes!
Hey, beautiful
The paper maché work is done and I've painted it - the outside is grey,
the inside is blue. And the inside of this one is like a...
coral color. It's 10:41. I think I'm gonna hit the hay! I will see you tomorrow!
Peanut butter and banana toast is like my favorite breakfast ever! It's 10:30
so I'm gonna head off to uni. Gonna go catch the train. I'm rockin' the Steve Jobs look today, which is
basically, my go-to outfit when I just don't know what to wear.
I love a black turtleneck with blue jeans
Oh I've gotta turn the air-con off before I go!
Let's go to school
So I'm meeting my friend Emily on the Alumni Green.
Wow a style icon! <3
So, this is Emily. She gave me a skirt and some model making materials because she's a gem!
So you're not actually graduating are you?
Em: Uhh, I'm not going to the ceremony,
But I will be graduating.
Because the whole graduation concept really cramps my vibe.
Yeah, it's really expensive too, isn't it
Yeah it's like $150?! Like let's spend that on food.
(my lecturer speaking)
I can't really move my face right now.
Podcast: "And with this what I do want to mention like if you're hanging"
I've got a banana for the road and I'm off to the train station.
I feel like I take a banana every single day.
And a jacket because it's gonna get really cold tonight
(Chatting with my mum)
So it's currently nine o'clock, I'm gonna take a quick power nap.
I'm pretty good at power napping for just thirty minutes and then getting back up,
going straight into it and working for about two hours, and then I'll go back to sleep again for thirty minutes and
so on and so forth until I get it done.
It's probably not the most healthy, but sometimes you just
got to do it. *dies inside*
So today is one of those days. So I'm gonna go to bed for 30 minutes and then get back up and do some model-making.
It is 1:30am exactly and I have to get up in a few hours. I tried to get up early today I just couldn't.
I've got to leave for work in 15 minutes,
so I'd better get ready! And there's a huge mess on my floor still which sucks.
Spongebob narrator: Later
ok, so I've come home for lunch and I've got a salad with mushrooms and
raisins and
lots of good things to give me some energy for the day, and then I can get back to work!
Spongebob narrator: 6 hours later
Okay, so this is the plan of the hospital
These are all the different rooms that I can move around and play with the arrangement and it's kind of messy
but our teacher said that with these models it's more about
quantity rather than quality, and so it's okay if they're a little bit messy.
We've also had to make about 20 of these small iterative models,
that are just about testing materiality and form.
Super small - it's just 1:100 scale and I have made a whole bunch of these. I've got lots of different designs,
testing different variations of the same thing and I'm in the homestretch
so I'm really excited to just get this done and then I can tidy up my room because it's such a mess and it's like
really stressing me out, and then I can just breathe for a moment.
Actually, no, I can't because I've got another assignment to on Wednesday that's worth 50% of my grade.
I'm about to head to my friend Nathan's house. We do board games on a Thursday
Well, we alternate every second Thursday we do board games, the other Thursday we do painting. I'm about to go there with my brother
but I'm bringing my laptop to do my assignment there.
Oh dear....
My room is a disaster, but I'm so exhausted I'm just gonna go to bed and deal with it in the morning.
Good news is my assignment is done so I can rest easy now.
And then just present it tomorrow. I packed all my stuff last night because I just like packing the night before
so that I don't forget anything because my mind is definitely
more switched on at nighttime than in the morning. So I've packed all the stuff that I need already.
Okay, I feel a thousand times better now that my room is tidy!
I can actually see the floor again. Although it definitely needs vacuum.
I'm gonna go have a shower and get ready to go to class for my
presentation today. Oh my goodness. I finally feel like a human being again. I had a shower, my room is tidy...
It's kind of like I have this this plane
and one side is the creative side, and one side is the rational side, and when I get
thrown into an assignment or a craft thing that I'm making for YouTube, the creative side goes really high and the stability
goes down really far, and by tidying up my room and
organizing my physical space it kind of brings things back into equilibrium again. You know, my physical space really affects my mental space
So I feel much more
grounded
Which is really nice
I have a couple of hours to spare and then I'm gonna leave at about eleven o'clock and
go to uni to present my assignment, and then after class tonight the society I'm in is throwing a party-
it's 1999 themed. So I have these excellent colour-block windbreakers and
a group of my friends and I are going in these matching 90's windbreakers and are gonna do 90s hair and makeup!
I'm really excited. That'll be a nice note to end this stressful week on!
Because it's been really intense this week. So it'll be nice to be able to let loose and have a good time!
I finished my assessment and I've just walked to my cousins house where we're gonna get ready for
the Scavenger Hunt/Pub Crawl tonight! So excited!
Okay, so this is Emily
She's doing pigtails and we're gonna crimp them.
I'm halfway through crimping and I'm living my best life because I've never done this before. It's so much fun!
We've got all the makeup here and we're doing a blue eye...
Late 90's early 2000's... a big blue eye!
(whispers) hello
Everybody's been looking at us
There was that one lady that scoffed.
We walked past and she was like *scoff*
Em: youth these days
