not a moment of what we were where the sun would never set.
Today was particularly difficult to wake up to. It felt like there was something holding me back, holding me down. Somehow freedom doesn’t feel like freedom, and it feels like I’m still holding onto something I don’t need.
Maybe I’ll go back to bed in the afternoon. It’s a particularly warm day (compared to the recent rainy ones) and warm weather maketh me sleepeth.
Spent the day cleaning my room a bit (My Year 2 Semester 1 folder is officially sealed) and sewed three pretty hairbands for myself. One denim, one yellow polka-felt, and one red and stripy braid. So happy =D
Amongst other things I plan to do during the holidays:
-Work, and subsequently:
-Buy my much-needed back brace from Watsons
-Learn how to sew a dress or skirt of some sort
-Tidy up and ZNG my room so it’s more conducive to sleep/work/relax in!
-Start thinking of something for the Reverie Sculpture Competition (proves to be a difficult one)
-BAKE!
-SHOP! Year End Sales are niceeee
-Go to the ah pek market and pick up a few things for fun (maybe I can even get my competition materials from there)
-sleeeeeeeeeeeeep. Haven’t put back the hours lost yet D:
That seems to be all for now, but it seems like alot, since I’ve only got till 12 Dec to complete them all (going to Holland for Christmas this year! =D)
I have yet to compile my proper christmas wishlist (previously posted Snow Patrol list is now inaccurate, since I ran out to buy 2 albums myself already)
But for now, it seems like the usual: Clothes, cookie tins or any other cool thingamajig works for me =]
Tell me what YOU are doing to fill your holidays, and what you’re looking forward to this christmas please! =D
I know, I know. It’s too early, but hey. We’re all materialistic people, so who’s judging?
I would like:
Snow Patrol CD – Songs for Polar Bears (very old, I know but I want it)
Snow Patrol CD – When It’s All Over We Still Have To Clear Up
Snow Patrol Limited Edition Fan Version Up To Now boxset
This limited edition version contains:
In case you haven’t noticed, this is probably a joke, because I can’t find these anywhere. Anywhere. I’m too late. Sigh.
Lack of sleep.
Me-time deficiency.
Inadequate No Exercise.
Emotional Desolation.
Poor Eating Habits.
Burnt Out.
It amazes me how ironic art school can be.
In a place where people are thought to be celebrated for being unique.
In a place where people are thought to be celebrated for being special.
In a place where people are thought to be celebrated for being different.
People are put down.
People are excluded.
People are left out.
Is it nature’s way of making sure ‘birds of a feather flock together’? Its elimination process to filter out the rest?
Or is it just because a group of people have a set of their own ideals, and choose to be friends only with people who seem to ‘match’ their intellect/appearance/attitude?
That makes sense, considering a group of people could all have the same low level of compassion, and low level of understanding. So hey man, whatever floats your shallow boat. I don’t need to care.
I don’t need to care anymore, about what people think.
And I won’t.
It’s been a rough week. Critique went pretty well, but nevertheless, always room for booms. None of us can afford to slack now, what with only slightly over a week till the major crit, and 5 weeks to assessment? That’s definitely not enough time to take my time. Tomorrow will be the last day I play Facebook games, and this might be the last post till crit/assessment, unless its work-related.
Recently, I’ve put aside half an hour a day to sew with Bro (My sewing machine, from Brother =D) just to practise. So far I’ve amateurishly sewn a slipcase thingie, a slipcase thingie with drawstrings, a felt pouch to carry my meds (what can I say, I’m a sickly fellow), I sewed up a slit in my sister’s dress for her, and just last night I made an ugly pencil case. I’d say that’s pretty good progress for someone who absolutely repels all accuracy. After assessment, I’ll probably increase it to a few hours every day, so I can eventually include fabric into my work (not just the assessment table cloth, you see).
I will draw for half an hour every day also. From Life. Yeah, Harley Brown, I will.
Anyone gonna join me? =]
[Just a list of words that I've found extremely beautiful lately. Not just phonically, but think composition-wise also. Repeated letters, and the sound you make when you pronounce them. ]
September. Noodles. Crows. Magnolia. Cinnamon. Aquatint. Carrot.
Leaf. Death.
Btw. Crit’s on 21st October! AHHHH. Thankfully its only 1 subject.
It’s like when it suddenly starts raining, and you never expected it to rain so hard.
But it’s too early to think about such things. Or is it? Is it possible to just keep the blinkers on till we reach the bridge, or do we do something about it now?
I don’t want this to be the part where I have to start learning to let you go, to start living without you.
Cause how do you turn around when you’ve been 10 months on the road?
