I survived.


Finally finally I've handed in my DISSERTATION and now it's over, never to be spoken about again (or, at least, until the grades come back). I finished it off the day before and printed it, bound it and gave it in.. I even kissed it before putting it in the box. 30% of my grade was in my hands.

Finishing such a long piece of writing is strange. For the couple of weeks before the deadline where I really worked on it, I knew that everyday I would wake up, at 8, write, then lunch, then write, then dinner, then write some more. EVERY day. It was quite tiresome but it gave me something to do and now that it's over I hate to say it but I miss it...
Days are spent lying in bed in my pijamas or going to Waitrose to buy ice cream so I can watch gossip girl and modern family, in bed of course. It seems I have no purpose in my life?!
But naturally, I do... I need to find a job, get accepted into the Universities I applied for, sort out my life for next year.
But for now, I'm just gonna stay in bed a little longer.

Sometimes I feel like this..


tired and uninspired.

Today was not a very good day, I was at the library from 8 to 8 with my group, which was good because we got quite a lot done for our Creative brief on Colon Cancer (a live brief given by the European Commission), but at the same time I came home late and could not get myself to focus on my dissertation. It's due in two weeks and I have only properly done 5000 words, half of what it should be! I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of late nights and early mornings in the next couple of days.

The Sartorialist


Today, in the middle of the 369034 project I am currently doing, plus a huge extended Dissertation, I came across this blog: http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html

I am always being remembered of how much I like photography.
This man has insipired me, once again, to start taking more pictures, and I might start another blog with this purpose in mind.
The thing is, I am not a professional photographer, I'm not even that good really, I just really really enjoy it.

So I will do it, after the 26th January when I hand everything in.

Good to be home.




I went to Egypt and Portugal on christmas, and was travelling around a bit. Everytime I get home, to my little flat in Farnham, I just breathe a sigh of relief as I think 'I'm home'.
It's strange how people can feel at home in different countries, different houses. I, for example, feel at home in Lisbon, Farnham, and Brussels. Completely at home - I have my stuff, my family and my friends dotted throughout these cities and it is difficult every time I leave, and it is pleasant every time I arrive. It's inexplainable - these places just have a place in my heart.
Maybe that's just what Home feels like.

NEW








I am so excited about this new present I got for my birthday yesterday. Its a Diana camera and I got a fish eye lens as well as a normal one, and a vibrant colours film.
After my dissertation I'm going to have some fun with it! For now...I have to write. x

Egypt 2





Christmas break






Egypt. Beautiful country, fantastic History, terrible food, warm sea, fascinating culture, overwhelming desert.
