well im happy! ive been struggling to find a new job since finishing my temp xmas job nrly 2 weeks ago but yesterday sfternoon i got a phone call from the manager of the bear factory offering me a part time job! finally a decent job that pays well (for a student anyway).
aside from that, art school is going very well indeed, im now specialising in photography which im really enjoying, one of my m8s was on the news and in papers about her artwork last week, giving out pinhole cameras to ppl at the station, to return them to her to process and to be displayed in the forum from the 25th jan! go see if u can.
hope every1 else is getting on well and enjoying the social life that comes with higher education! lol all sorts of people offering all sorts of things including one of my m8s?? txting me to say i cant stop thinkin bout.... well actually thats probably not suitable to put here.. ok well see as many of you as possible as soon as possible! xx
howdy all

hello well not much to say really, enjoying art school as much as i can, got myself a temporary job in the bear factory because i got fed up of the stationery box and handed my notice in! bet you didnt expect that!!! hehe got my second review day coming up next friday, need to do a lot of work ready for that, the work load is actually a lot higher than i first thought, hell of a lot of art to do, was supposed to do a personal project last month and carry on with it though time but havent actually started it yet! oops i better had b4 fionn wants to see it on friday, (my personal tutor) but other than that its quite cool, the last month we have been doing two workshops, basically doing what the hell we want, but the more recent one has to show something about ourselves which im finding quite difficult coz i dont like revealing stuff about myself! :$ went to london last weekend to see evanescence which was amazing, although half the people who were sposed to go didnt including my bf (which gave me a chance to flirt with the other guys!!) lol well better be off im sure ur getting bored by now write again when im feeling interesting! hehe xx

ok so into my 3rd week at NSAD, feeling much better about it all at the mo, still not what i was expecting and not enjoying it as much as id hoped, and cant specialise in photography which is what i wanted to do but think i will manage this year if nothing else. Paula you have to tell them what youre doing or i will!! you have until next week!!! see you soon will write a lengthier entry when i get the time. xx
settling down

well i more or less managed my 1st week! ish! i havent actually had the best week in all honesty, i have hated school and finding working 7 days a week i think is going to be a bit of a struggle. we have to go to school from 9 - 5 every day until christmas. i have been really stressed out and even made myself ill over it all. i cried every night last week because of various things, not being able to see my boyfriend except occasional evenings when im actually too tired to even make decent conversation, my friends are all leaving to go to uni, i hav to work all the time and i have been ill all weekend and it doesnt seem to be getting any better. being sick is not the most fun feelin in the world especially when you miss out on almost Ł70 from work! groan. i dont know how im going to survive this year. im not enjoying it at all and dont see myself lasting all that long to be honest. im already thinking of going for a full time job even if it is rubbish pay. hope all you guys have a better time in HE than i am lol miss you all and will never forget you xx
ok its not going so good

well today was quite scary, our enrolment day at Norwich School of Art and Design, me and zoe thought the women were scary and mean! bless us! we are terrified about starting on monday but we have each other and if we make it through the 1st week im sure we will be fine.
However this is the emotional time when it comes to saying goodbye to all of my best friends for months on end! :( what am i going to do with myself? at least my boyfriend is taking a gap year so he will be around 4 a lil while yay! but i honestly dont know what id do if he was going as well i would be all lonely and stuff!
well my exam results were more or less what i expected, completely failed sociology (as i said i would) but would ne1 believe me? noooooooo. but got my B in art and a D in graphics overall fairly pleased but still dont know what to do with myself. oh well im sure ill get by. good luck to you all see you around xx
here we go again.....

ok so my holiday was absolutely fantastic i actually cried when we had to leave i felt so emotionally attached to that place!
Have been working my ass off recently, since my holiday ive worked 2 12hr shifts *sigh* and 8hr shifts the rest of the time. its horrible and wish i had a better paid job that actually has air con! nasty nasty stationery box. i have to admit though i'd rather be out working and getting the money than to be at school.
I honestly think education can suit some and not others for me it certainly didnt suit and believe i hav probably wasted most of the last 2 years sorry to say that.
anyway the summer is here for us all now, enjoy it and i hope you have all made the right decision for next year....
.......me? i'm not so sure ive made the right decision, i think i have chosen to go to NSAD as the easy option, as i dont know what i want to do and put off the decision for another year.

MY IDEAL SITUATION:
i would be able to afford to move to newquay permanantly get an appartment and at least a half decent job to keep me there, perhaps behind the bar in a club (i'd love that) or something...... anything so long as i can stay there!
i really do love that place can you tell? i tell people im moving there as soon as i can afford to but nobody believes im actually serious. :(

another night in to myself what to do?? think ill sleep was a very late nite last night and a few too many bevvies mmmmmm bed...

love u all xxx
it feels goooood!

ok so what i have planned this summer well........... its only 11 days till me and my angels go to newquay 4 a week i cant wait to see my previous home of nine years! surfer guys (with wetsuits and scruffy beach blonde hair) here we come! x bliss x after that i plan to party for a week or two and maybe a week of solid work just to scrape by! then i have a week in paris booked with my boyfriend that isnt costing us a penny, his parents are paying for it all it was his birthday prezzie! yay i also plan to fit in a parachute jump one sunny day which should be a laugh. basically a chilled out relaxing fun summer ahead followed by a nice easy/boozy year at norwich school of art and design wohoo this is the life xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
summer of love
