don't you steal my sunshine

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.
