with all my friends in their respectives countries I hav very little to do apart from go to work, or else sit, watch films and make stuff. so ther is a brand new batch of delights in my gallery.
mostly gifts to loved ones. all of which hav been well appreciated i feel.
which is the point of art reali isnt it? to instill some emotion into our fellow man. people who create or design for the SELF assurance dont make enuf things for others :D

love and creativity to you all

So I'm now living in Vancouver with my parents. Uni didnt go well last semester cos they cant be bothered with first year students here, so im goin to go to a community college for a wile. Try that out. Worst comes to the worst i may train to be a paramedic. We'll see.

SO iv had loads of free time recently which ive been making the most of. Took a native art carving course, and a pottery course which were lovely. But isnt it always the way that you only get the hang of it by the end?? *sigh* Also been seeing my wonderful international friends loads in the past few weeks, but theyre all going back to their respective countries in a few weeks for summer :( never mind. ill probably get a summer job anyhow and start studying before i start afresh.

love to you all! xxxxxx

Evnin' all!
Hope you're all doing well out there in arty land.

Well summer's almost over and everyone is going back to school / uni, including me! I am now in Canada, and will begin studying at the beautiful university of british columbia! I'm in the final week of my international student course. I've met some interesting people, and the differences in some of our backgrounds is astonishing.

I'm going to be looking forward to freshers week, tho here binge drinking isn't as common as in the UK and as a result it's just going to be a lot of activities like music and pool parties and stand up acts - which is GREAT! XD

Hopefully i'll still find time to sketch and do some projects. there may even be an art club i can join! so keep checking in

love you guys

Hey there! Just an update...

Things are going pretty well atm. I worked hard at my maths, and am waiting on my grades, but im hoping for a B *fingers crossed*, and also waiting for my art course grade - not that that's particularly important, but it'd be nice to know :P

I'm currently packing up our entire house single-handedly as my parents and i are emigrating to canada. it's a BIG job. everything we own is going to go into a 40 foot container, travel on a boat - and as long as it dusnt sink - will land in vancouver in about 6 weeks. meantime my family and i will literally b living out of suitcases. :S

ill be starting at the university of british columbia in september, but as ill b an international student, im attending a two week introductory course, so actually im thrown in two days after i arrive in the country! scary stuff..

trying to take it all in my stride, but its getting harder as my departure date gets closer. all i can hope is that my frends and family are around to keep me positive

Evnin all

I figered i shud update my journal since i havnt for several months.

things arnt great atm. im normally v.chirpy, but right now...not so much.

im still working hard at my AS maths, and its starting to take its toll. my teacher is a knob who just dusnt GET students. he keeps setting tests hes devised himself, whines at us wen we dont do well, then tells us - and i honestly wish i was joking - that we're all rubbish and going to fail, cos the Qs are easy.
the time im not in class im STILL doing maths at home, and have no social life. and - according to my dad - im STILL not working hard enuf. so i try harder, am told to work harder yet, then sit in front of my work wanting to cry and giv it up. but i cant else i wont get into uni. and the worst possible thing that cud happen now is that i put all this work in, but i dont get the C i need, and i hav to make alternative plans for my future, cos my uni wont accept me. and i have none.

to add insult to injury, my wonderful, quiet, beautiful village is almost certainly going to be absolutely RUINED by a HUGE football stadium / warehousing development being built not half a mile from it. the development is bigger than my village. and im genuine wen i say that shud it be built, my village will be no more. chavs will move in, and villagers will move out. its already started as theyv erected a massive billboard just outside the train station. i saw it and it made me cry.

and then mark speight hangs himself. of course i neva knew him, but i felt like i did. he was a big part of my childhood, and i loved SMart, as im sure many of you did, and it was like losing a distant uncle. and i cudnt help but sit there wen i heard it announced, imagining everything that must of been going thru his head before the end...

in summary, one of the lowest weeks i think iv eva had. and im sori for ranting, but i felt like if i kept it bottled up any longer...i dunno...
