It's like the end of an era...

As of today there's only 1 whole week left of living here at 30 Barnsdale Road.

Last night we had a great time mucking around, much to the expense of Dario, although to be completely honest he's been in a foul mood all week, so we were in a way 'trying' to cheer him up. After he left to go out we got a bit cello tape happy, we'd previously cello taped Lini's legs together which was HILARIOUS, but that wasn't enough, we then went on to cling filmed Dario's pillows and slippers and covered the communal areas with latex gloves. During the fun of all this Tryni made us a lovely sausage casserole for dinner, it was a-mazing! I do believe it was thanks to Tryni's cooking that we all got very hyper - not that I'm complaining because it was so much fun.

The best evenings are with Nalini Rasiah and Tryni Tuthill!! :)

We laughed so hard last night, my chest still aches!! :)

The little critter we left for Dario, in a kitchen roll nest.

I'm going to miss this shitty little house, although it's not the prettiest, or the most spacious, it is where we've spent the past year, and I have loved my time here. Especially spending it was my housemates. I can't wait to start next years adventure in the new house - BRING ON FINAL YEAR!

I've decided that my aim for the summer is to do a drawing a day, it doesn't have to be an elaborate, highly detailed piece but something so I can say I've done it would be awesome. Maybe I'll upload the ones I'm proud of..? We'll see how it goes, but the 1st of July is the beginning of summer, so the beginning of this sketch a day! :)

Hello.

I know it's been the longest time since I blogged, and I'm sorry... I tend not to look at my laptop, let alone turn it on and use it. Since my last blog, well a fair bit has happened actually since my last post.

I have now received all of my individual grade sheets for this year, and for the 30% of my year that counts towards the final grade; I have got a 2:1, not the highest 2:1 in the world but, none the less a good grade to start my final year with. I know that I have a LOT of work to do to receive a first at the end of next year, and my God I plan on doing it! Oh, and I've also begun reading a few books on Eva Hesse and Gabriel Orozco for my dissertation - I am terrified of this mammoth essay - essays are my worst fear. If anything is going to ruin my grade it's this beast, 5000-8000 words that have to be perfectly written and presented! :( I am dreading it!

As my second year at university is almost over I have to begin thinking about my summer holiday, to which I've applied for some work experience, but not yet heard anything, I'm not sure whether I should be worried yet, but I'll give it some time. I also have decided that as I have to buy a new laptop I'm going to be working a LOT over summer, although taking a week to go to Italy for my birthday is kind of ruining this plan completely! A few people have started asking me what I'd like for my birthday, and the answer everyone is getting (it's the same every year to be honest) is I don't mind, or I'm not sure yet. I know for people's 21st they generally get a piece of jewellery, and I've been looking on the Tiffany and Co's website to see if there's anything I like.. It's safe to say I got a little excited and picked one of each section; necklace, earrings, bracelet and a ring, here are the pictures of them:

- necklace = PRETTY!! <3

- bracelet.

- earrings.

- ring.
Mostly everything matches, they are all very pretty :) and as it's me, all of them, well, except the ring contain black. I'm not asking for all of them, in fact I'm not going to ask for any of them. I think I'll save up my money and buy them once I've earned it. That way I'll feel so much better for owning a piece of jewelry that's worth a months wages!! Anyway, I've written quite an essay now. So I'll go and do something productive, but I'll be sure to write more often so that the next time there isn't so much to read!

G'night x

Good evening.

Hello.
It's been a while, I know that.

I have been so distracted recently, mostly by the stupid amount of university work I've had to do which was due in on Friday, partially by some other things. My head has been all over the place, and even though I have all this free time I find myself more distracted than ever. After planning an endless list of things to do with all the free time I have, almost a week has past and I've completed nothing. Sweet F-all.
After work tomorrow I'll be making the trek back to my dear student home in Reading, joy of joys. I'm almost certain that this will mean a big room tidy and a night of online telly, most likely 90210. Actually, if that's the plan then the sketchbook will be out... Drawing WILL be done! In fact I'll scan it all in so that there's proof! If 90210 gets to be too much, the I'll whack out my Adele Cd's, as they've been so relaxing and have aided my past two weeks of hell. I need to get out and find my inspiration again, I think I'll take a train somewhere, find somewhere to sit and draw for an afternoon if this doesn't work most likely I'll end up in Starbucks. As per usual :)

Hello Blog.

Today I finished this damn theory essay!



I'm chilling out right now listening to Olly Murs, and I actually love this album, however sad this makes me. I don't actually care right now. The lyrics are so cute, and makes me want to sort myself out, get into a happier place maybe that means find someone? Who knows. Oh well, I'm off to bed.

♥I fell for the lines, but you knew I would.

New term. New Start!

Hello blog.

Today has been one of those days where I've really taken a lot in, sat back and had a good old think. The conclusion of this... I want a new start, yes, I know it's mid/end of April, but its never too late to make things better. So here's a little list of things I'd like to achieve:
- Sort out my room, get rid of all the crap etc :)
- Get out and do the things that I want to do.
- Spend more time drawing!! I miss it.
- Download Itunes for my laptop again!! :(


^^^ Oh, and I'd like this please. ^^^
I'd really like to be someones everything.

......♥


All I want is to drop the essays, not have to work this bank holiday weekend, leave the house and get as far away from reality as possible. Yes please? Take me away!



We could have fallen in love.

TTFN... Ta ta for now.

I'm going to stop blogging for a while.
I know I've been really bad with my blogging this year, but I've had a lot on.
To be honest, I feel that what I want to say needs to be written down in a journal, hidden away. I can't say what I want to on here, for both my interests, and for the sake of others, so therefore I'm going to go out tomorrow and buy a journal. I'll write in there for a bit, get everything out... With lyrics, poems my own writing I'll draw whatever.. The first blog back I'll put up some of my illustrations, but until then, goodbye blog.
