Exhibition - Success!
I'm amazed the exhibition today turned out as it did, especially considering i was still painting this afternoon - I mean really, who does that?! But anyway it was a great success, lots of people and just as many compliments, huuuge ego boost
. Had a few nice art chats too, talking about our work, a few things i meant to do in mine and a whole load of things i hadnt even noticed XD. Felt like a real artist today, it was kinda weird, i suppose the exhibition was really part of the course but we were pretty much independent from the teachers, it was ours, and to have organised, ran and been a part of an exhibition of this age is just awesome.Anyway, rambling comments aside i need to eat something, ANYTHING, other than biscuits and sleep.. for a long, long time...
...Shite, test on tuesday, half-marks in mock, blarrg.

You said you were at the centre today? Damn, are you mad?! Probably no worse than Londinium today, i suppose - the underground was packed, naturally. It wouldn't have been so bad, but i was squished up right next to a really big German guy for about five stops O_o I love going on the underground usually though - i like people watching
I went with my family to the christmas display at Hyde Park - it snowed like crazy, we all got really cold and wet, but it was fun - many a lol to be had and innuendoes galore with Zuckernuss und Wurst. They also had mulled cider, which was very nice

I was at the center today AND yesterday, it was beyond hectic, but the snow made for some really pretty sights
Zuckermuss and wurst? And glad to hear you had a nice christmassy day
They still won't let you trade in MW2? Urgh, that's so annoying - they have all these ads on tv saying about deals on trade ins, and when you get there they have a dozen pendantic little rules! Maybe you should wait until after christmas - they probably get loads of trade ins after christmas. You're not going to the centre again tomorrow are you? Please say you're not! - you might get stabbed in the crush for the last box of mince pies in M&S or something.

hold close everything you see as sacred.
lock it up in four walls and leave nothing to chance.

Really - 11 games? My brother and his mates have all been calling it 6 or MF2 - so i kind of assumed that was it's nickname. I guess i just showed myself up for the n00b that i am...lol. It's fun though - haven't played the campaign mode yet (brother has already finished it, annoyingly), but the online is fun. Only i keep getting killed!!! I walk out and all of a sudden BAM!! - it's like they all know how shite i am and i can't fight back!

It's just so much pressure! Every single website i go on says "AAA or AAB" - how is that even going to be possible? Aww, crap!! Oh well, i have another year until i'm in your shoes yet; so, tell me, how are things going for you? I'm curious. It's a shame i don't get to talk to you guys much anymore because our timetables don't match up (my classes suck now, because, apart from being with Lara in history, i'm all by me lonesome with those bratty 12s...lol)

Its annoying at the mo with uni and UCAS, you know how previously i was pretty much stumped and lost for motivation? Well now, as one of the deadlines passes me by, the motivation has just started to kick in, ooh how i want to get away from this place now, meet some shiny new people on courses and old people in lectures with shiny new ideas to fill my little head with. I just wish I'd have felt like this over the holidays so I could have spent more time looking into things and making a good statement, now i fear i'm slightly too late and stuck no-where for another year
I know what you mean; Christ those targets are painfully high, i desperately need to drag my psychology up and find the one university that still counts A&D otherwise I'm stuck for another two years... eww i'd hate to still be in school that long, i'd be in a lower year than my sister :s. Especially as the media tells me once i eventually get a uni degree it wont be worth anything anyway ¬_¬.
Meh, enough negativity - Apart from on the education front things are going pretty well at the mo, i watched a bunch more TED talks a few days ago alongside a science journal, some lectures by stanford uni and a psychology book on the differences between men and women (which was a laugh, interesting and a little annoying at the same time XD) so im feeling very clever even if nothing's really changed XD. Yourself?
Sorry to hear you're all by your lonesome
Long message is looooooong...
Well, like i said, i'm just kind of looking at websites, sending of for prospectuses (or would that be prospecti?) and such. I suppose i'll take a look around some in the summer. Bristol looks nice (i think Kath was looking there), as does Warwick, and the University College London. Cambridge remains an air castle, but i'll have a stab, if my grades are good enough.
Don't give up on the uni side off things - i bet there's loads that'll take A+D. What are you going to be taking? An art related, or psychology, or something else? And, yeah, though the media are coming out with all this rubbish about degrees...a degree is still a degree - i mean, there's plenty of bragging rights, and it will eventually help you in "the job market", as it were, if only because YOU have one, and John Doe or Joe Bloggs or whatever does not.
Haha, yeah - there probably are some fun year 12s, but none have quite mustered their courage/swallowed their pride enough to talk to me!! But it is quite funny, because Maddie and Tamara are in my class as well - i mean, they're alright, i suppose, just not very talkative. I sit next to them, but don't really talk to them. And then there's about 3 empty places between us and the 12's - a mega segregation thing going on! It's a shame, because some of them seem genuinely intelligent, and i'm sure they'd make lively conversation, if nothing else. And thanks for offer - i'll remember that (and bug you by ringing you at 2 in the morning and such
I would come into the art room more, but i don't know when your classes are, and - well...Mr. Davis hates me. He totally snubbed me in the corridor on Friday!! He was just like "Hmph!!", nose in the air, and strode off. I should have turned round and said, "well there are a lot of people in Versailles today, clearly!!"

If you need prospecti/usesesususesss just gimme the name of the place and i'll probably be able to ship one over as i brought back just about one for every university in england during that trip way back when
I wont give up just yet, and I dont really see either art or psychology as a particularly good choice, which is a shame. I think I might go into something vaguely in the sciences though as i still have quite an interest in it and its a bit better as a foundation. But really im still undecided, it could go any way right now, i feel like i need a bit of soul-searching (though i hate that phrase XD) to clear my head and decide what i really want.
Poor you guys! Just go say hi to some of the nicer sounding ones, or at least shove Tamara in their general direction, 6th form has really reversed my social cynicism in that a surprisingly large proportion of people can be surprisingly great given a decent chance to get talking. ... But i suppose on the other hand i think us year 13's would rather keep you to ourselves
