Winter Woolies

*claims that hot chocolate with marshmallows is more beneficial than oranges stuffed with vitamin C*
Another day another post.

While the snow threatens to fall any day now I just bought a rather beautiful skirt. No, I don't see the logic in that either, adding to the fact that I have no money and yet I still bought the skirt? My brain needs a year-long holiday I think.

A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders as I received a conditional offer from University!!! I cannot contain my excitement, I feel as if my future is starting. Bring on the champagne!
Currently attempting to start (not finish as I have done nothing but eat all weekend) my huge pile of homework, I keep trying to kid myself that I have non but alas, that fact is never (ever ever ever) true.

It's time to bring out the dr martens and ski mittens, and all that christmas food. I officially declare it's christmas when my birthday is over and I have watched Love Actually. If that isn't reasonable then I don't know what is.

Everything is snowballing at the moment, school is becoming extremely hectic and everyone just falls asleep at random moments (I, too, am ashamed to say I have fallen asleep on top of my school books and drooled all over page 394). Although my day on friday was comforting, as my maths teacher brought in coffee and home-made brownies to cheer us all up at 8.10. We cheered and smothered her with gratitude, little things like that shouldn't go unnoticed, it was so thoughtful and genuine.

I must go and attempt to tackle my essay on Lord Jim, it feels like I'm scaling a mountain with no footholds or rope.

Have a picture I took for my art class. This is my smoulder.

New things

So i decided to start a written blog. What better way to share the ever growing list of opinions - I sometimes feel as If i have too many, but then i think hey who doesn't love an animated discussion?
Let's launch into a little world of art and carrot cake - or if you're allergic to carrots it can be some strange vegan recipe.

I have recently come to realise three things;
1. There's no point sitting and waiting for things to happen, only hard work makes things appear.
2. You can over-analyse a novel to the point where you question your existence.
3. Just because novel is acclaimed doesn't mean it resembles some sort of written deity.

So there are a few things things that help me in my day-to-day life. I'm trying to make things more, art makes me ridiculously happy, and creating work gives me a sense of accomplishment, no matter how small the mountain. This post will most probably be lost in the multitude of others, but it makes me content so it does not matter. I shall leave you with a picture that sums up the week I had ( I can't say work featured too much - I had better get on that )

Trying to find somewhere in Brussels that develops 35mm film, the only place I know of charges 23 euros per film. Are you taking the mickey.

Also the Andrews Sisters have now joined my itunes library, old music is marvellous.
