i could be anywhere

An Overwhelming feeling of content has suffocated my body today.
The beauty of this place is sometimes a little hard to take in, but when I eventually do, it is more than what is able to be expressed through my words, or maybe any one's words...

So, everything is pretty much done and I am in a good place.
Although missing home like to a sickening extent, I still am able to feel good, feel confident in where I am.
Yes, so art prac examination is complete, the 1st semester of my 1st year is complete, my classics assignment is complete, I still need to tackle my art history and classical civilisation exams, but I have plenty of time to study, and to learn how to...
The art prac exam was pretty hectic, well all the work Ive done for the semester had to have been put up, and then the art lecturers checked it, marked it, judged it, gave me a crit and that was it. and from that I now know where I stand with my art, here's what I know
1. I need to spend more time on things
2. I need to draw more and loosen up
3. I need to practise perspective
4. I need to buy a book on perspective
5. I can paint
6. I hate photography "I don't know about "truths." A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells, the less you know. " - Penelope Stamp, the brothers Bloom
7. my ideas are vague
8. the 'judges' are proud of my progress

sorry for saying I hate photography, I mean I like it, but I really really do not like doing it, I dont get the concept. really dont like it.


anyway, I must go, will write morrow. going to go watch a movie with Lucy and Megan..
then I plan on having a very well-deserved long sleep. chat morrow...


"This was a story about a girl who could find infinite beauty in anything, any little thing, and even love the person she was trapped with. And i told myself this story until it became true. Now, did doing this help me escape a wasted life? Or did it blind me so I didn't want to escape it? I don't know, but either way I was the one telling my own story... " - Penelope Stamp, The Brothers Bloom
