Blog,

I apoligise for neglecting you......
Here is a quick dose of your much needed fix on gossip and art. From me, to you.

I finally finished my puppet about 2 days ago. Just in time for interview =]. I've become strangely obsessed with her like she's my real baby. I suppose my motherly instinct has mistaken the number of working man hours gone into her for an actual pregnancy. HA. Oh, and her name is Maude.
Here shes is:

My interview was yesterday and went unbelievibly well!
There were 15 people going for my course, then we were split into 2 groups and 2 people from each group were picked for interview.
I was one of them.
=]
So then we did the group interview and it was ment to last an hour but it was 2 and a half mainly because this polish girl called sara and I just kept going off on arty tangents and yeah. I had to present some work and it was pretty bad tbh. but then I completely FUCKING OWNED the questions. One of the girls, Sara, definitely got in she was awesome. and one of the other girls definitely didn't. She was so stupid. So. Stupid. And her work was crap. and the other girl in the interview was so safe! she was called Epiphany! LOL jokes name, hahah. but she was so lovely. We spent the break together for like nearly 2 hours.
so yeah, it went well. I really really really want to get in but I'm not getting my hopes up at all.
After my interview I met up with Orchid and Tim and we went to the pub and it was LOVELY! I miss Tim so much! he told me he had blogspot so I will have to go find him =]
God. I've already checked my UCAS 3 times today.
Today I went to order more glasses as I am getting blinder and blinder. They are black with flowers on. =]
I should have gone to specsavers though. D&A doesn't have a good choice of glasses.
I'm afraid that I have offically turned into a dick. I'm ebaying a blackberry. What have I come to?!
I won't tell Rupert though. He wont aprove. His 16 year old brother has one and he gives him lots of stick.
haha
Blogging will be back to normal now.
BYEBYE x

SOBUSY

So I haven't Blogged in a long time (it's been days!)
But I got an email from LCF and I have an interview in 8 days!!!!
So basically I've been working my arse off and have no spare time to blogg.
I'm so excited !!!
And because I have to be on the other side of London at 9.30am I get to stay at Orchid's the night before =]
I'm so excited!!
And my friend Tim is going to keep me company on the day of my interview. yayyy =] I love Tim, he's like me little brother... and I haven't seen him in weeks!!!
I had my drink spiked on friday night so I've been feeling like shit the last 2 days =[
Currently working on some kind of robo-doll/rumplestiltskin-esque thing for LCF. They gave me a massive list of portfolio requirements.
Fuck.
So much to do and for something so important!
If I got into LCF I don't even know what I would do..... Cry maybe...The fact that they have given me an interview in the first place it just lovely!
Peace.

Today

I feel like a GIANT. I don't know why. I just feel really tall. So tall I could pick a bird from the sky. I also feel very small too. For the last few days I have been craving to have my own tower. I just feel like my camera and I are missing out majorly on the spring sunsets. All because we are in a very urban area....and I don't own my own tower. Afterall, I am a human. and every living thing on the earth is entitled to witness natural  beauty.
Shucks.
Needs to get me a tower huh!
The camera I'm bidding on on Ebay is still very cheap. This makes me happy. I REALLY WANT IT!
I was lent a book today by my tutor. Its called "Aesthetic Surgery" and has some very gorey pictures in it. Today I spent my day making masks based on the people In the book. It went well. When I've finished them I will be sure to post.
I'm so excited about the exhibition at college. In sculpture we have an amazing plan involving sugar cubes and ink. Ill post this too.....on Monday after we have finished it =]
Also excited about London tomorrow, even though we will get back well late. Can't wait to see the black hole thing in the turbine hall at the tate.
This week has gone so quickly!!! SO quick!
Seeing Alice in Wonderland last night was really nice. The set and the costumes were amazing. So good. Although the only thing that bugged me was the total lack of accuracy in the styles of dresses/shoes/phrases that were used for a film supposedly set in the Victorian era. If you go to see it then you'll know what I mean.
I supposed it's allowed to an extent because prehaps the majority of audiences wouldn't appreciate accurate-ness in films. Maybe people be less into it as well... I don't know. And not forgetting that it IS Tim Burton's interpretation of a classic so they would have to switch it up a bit. The story line was ok. Tbh I wasn't too bothered by it because the set and the makeup and the costumes were just amazing.
Definitely go and see it.
Ahhhhh.... Tonight will be a lovely evening. I can tell already. I feel like I have become part of my bed.
I just wish my supply of tea was endless.
I'm liking tea more and more every day.

Tea =]

Fail Day.

Today I failed.
It was scuplture today and we were...life sculpting... I think that's the thing to call it.
At the begining it was fine and I was really excited! but then it went wrong.... and after lots of help from my tutor it ended up not so great tbh.



So yeah.
London friday. yay.
I'm starting to think I might be a secret stalker....or maybe I just really like watching people....ha.
Alice in wonderland tomorrow....hopefully. If it's not sold out....

And I'm No Fool, I'm Just Living Upside Down

So wednesday went well. Although I'm starting to feel that every photography session is ending and begining the same. They have all started to merge into one memory which is no good. Photography is ment to be exciting and new and fresh. Not.....lets go into a darkend room and take pictures of our friends while our crazy tutor does all the work for you, bosses you about, and tells you that he is "really aware of you right now...." in a disconcerting voice that makes me want to laugh but also makes me wonder what the hell is actually happening in his tiny balding head when he says this.
Here is my plan of what I wanted to do:


But I was rushed and it ended up looking like this.....I am happy with the pictures and Georgia looks gorgeous but meh. I could have done it so much better. =[




It was my first day at Fasta Pasta today. It was a ball. All the people I work with are really motherly and lovely. All we did all day was sell olives, make pasta and drink tea =] My kinda place. I just hope I dont mess this job up too. Because HELL do I need the money.

I have kind of decided on a general theme for my FMP.....I want to look nudes in art. and why they are still used in fashion photography to shock when we've seen it all before etc. I decided on this after reading a photography magazine recently and it was full of this anorexic looking girl with a hugely hairy muff just generall faffing about being naked. You could tell it was ment to be really gritty but it wasn't. Not to me anyway.... It was just an ill-looking girl who was obviously freezing in very "kooky" positions. Anyway, this is just an idea. I'm not sure on how to approach it and every time I try to explain it it comes out wrong just like above.

I'm absolutely knacked. After going out last night - even though I came home at half 10/11.
I wish I was more poetic. I'm just really not. haha. The other night I couldn't sleep so Rupert read me some Poe. I was really lovely. I think I will buy more books like that. He is baking us cookies atm, =] a happy girl I am =]

I miss Orchid but will be going to London soon and will see her then. How exciting.
I love you Fishcakes =]

The Boom Box On My Shoulder Was A Box Of Clemintines

So today I had my dangerous drivers course.
HA! It was basically a man telling us that if we drove again we would DEFINITELY kill someone.
What a fucking bubble. hahaha. Most of the people there were there for being on the phone....or speeding....not me. I was the only one of two who crashed their car. jeeze.
In essence, I learnt a bit.... got really freaked out but tbh I doubt it will make me drive differently. I knew I wasn't going to get anything out of it as soon as I heard the question: "What is peer pressure...?" Yeah, fuck right off. How many times have I been asked that in my life?
When I was coming home It was just begining to get dark and the sky was all pink and orange and the clouds were really steely blue. It was beautiful. and I looked up and there was a cloud of swifts doing their syncronised flying that they do. I was mesmorised, it was amazing....If I hadn't been in kidlington I would have stayed there for hours just watching them.

I went to college this morning simply because I wanted to find out the grade I got for my review on Anish Kapoor's exhibition at the RA. So pissed off. Paul (tutor) actually SAID to me....."I gave you a distinction,... but then I decided that high merit was more fitting. It's worthy of a distincion but there's just something about it...."

GREAT PAUL. THANKS PAUL.

Not to be big-headed but I thought it was worthy of distinction....It's the best thing I've ever written. But oh well.....it's only a practice for FMP and Paul does know best......I just really want a distinction. =[
FMP is sooooo sooooonnnn I cannot believe that there is only 12 weeks left untill the public exhibition. I need to think of an FMP now. As it's the only thing that is graded all year.........I certainly don't want to get behind before I even begin.

I got the job at Fasta Pasta!!! =] AND they said  that in the holidays I can work whenever I want!
MONEYYYYYYYYYYYYY at last!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAYYYY.

I think that Rupert may actually be addicted to ebay. It's slowly consuming his life. He keeps stealing the laptop off me to check on his bidding...... Gunna have to organise some EA meetings... ha. getit. BUT! today! On day 5! I finally got my chocolates =] oooooyeahhhhhhhhhh =]

I don't think I will go to college tomorrow. I think I will stay home and make puppets.....Or at least try. Paul said he expected something amazing from me on wednesday in photography.... but as of yet I have nothing planned. Why puppets I hear you ask.... well I was looking at the LCF and Wimbledon portfolio advice on the UAL website and Its basically everything I'm not. It made me feel so unspecial. =[ The only thing I can think of (and that I can do in a day) is make some puppets.....or masks for photography on wednesday...because thats kinda tech effects..... right? and it's supposed to be a perfume advert..... so... I dunno. The more ambitious and wacky I make it... the more it's not gunna work....but maybe to the point where it does?

Ohhhhh I dont know!!! I just know I want to get into UAL.
