Nothing beats the 'soaring' feeling you have when you listen(or play) the Pirates of the Caribbean. You have got to listen to it, it's so grand.

This week's been hectic, so hectic that I'm thankful for the
long weekend. This week I had to hand in my
art coursework and decide my
subjects for sixth form (yikes) This was a tough decision not only because I had to decide which
five subjects to drop, I only got two weeks to decide this. The teachers have also made this decision sound so very crucial because 'it decides your final career.'
Finally got the candygrams and rose-a-grams on Monday. Wasn't too happy about the unwrapped roses, they were too thorny to hold and my locker didn't have any space due to the two huge art books and pe bag I had to fit in.
I am excited about this week, I'll be getting art exam questions! I know this is weird but I enjoy doing artist research more than experimenting, because when it comes to experimenting, I hate it when my experiments don't work out and I still have to stick it into my book. It becomes quite an eyesore as a result, so I have resorted to doing experiments on loose sheets rather than in my book.
I have finally finished the book Camille lent me, '
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.' It's a really poignant story of how a little boy who grieves for his dad who was killed in 9/11. He's quite precocious, in a sense but I think the last sentence of the book summed up the reason for his inventing.
In the end he wishes he could turn back time so he and his dad would have been safe. A tree just fell on across the main road near my house. The house just got renovated, and the tree fell onto the new roof they put over the kitchen. Scary how a short afternoon shower can do this.

HAPPY V-DAY!the social yesterday was okay, but I don't think the DJ was as good as the one last year. I'm just waiting for the photos to appear on facebook :D
didn't do much today, spent tonight taking more photos of light. I'll show you when the project is done.
ALL ART COURSEWORK DUE NEXT WEEEK! (eekkk) means until thursday to rectify anything that went wrong. Hope i manage to finish off incomplete experiments or improve final pieces, because I'm an inconsistent artist.

Went to watch Bride Wars yesterday to 'celebrate not going to Mulu.' There was one song that stood out in the entire soundtrack- it's
Dream by Priscilla Ahn. I have recently had this small thing for folk, so this is currently top on my playlist.
Here's another song I like, it's called the
Boob Song, it sounds scandalous but it's not. As the singer puts it, 'it's about someone else's boobs.' Love how it sounds jazzy with the double bass and the funny instrument she plays.
I think I've finished the designs for V-day cards. Thank goodness no DOE this weekend, it's been especially rainy. (now i have time to do my work and bum around a bit too.) Apparently the road on the way to Mulu is flooded so even if we went on with the trip it would have to be cancelled. VDAY NEXT WEEK!
