I thought it was about time I showed you one of my sculptures' since the course is such a big part of my life. And what better sculpture to show you then one inspired by Ze Franz. Warning- bigish picture under cut. ( Yes, I really am that obsessed. )
Monday- I FINALLY handed in my art dissertation- 4,300 words of pure brilliance... or at least I hope it is. Its the most words I have ever written in one essay. Its like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders now it is in. Shame none of us will actually get our marks back until the end of the year.
Tuesday- It was presentation time again- take two. The last one went soooo badly that my tutor allowed us 3rd years to do it again. This one went much smoother. It seems everyone likes my work (which is always a confidence builder) plus, I managed to get 2:1 which isn't too scabby at all! : D
Wednesday- I had my ultrasound and biopsy on my lump. Surprisingly, it wasn't as embarrassing as I thought it would be- I was just chatting away with the nurse about my art work when they were doing it all! There were no cute doctors this time but you can't have it all!
And finally, Thursday- I am not in a productive mood today, hence the fact I am sitting at the computer rather than doing any work. Its so bloody cold in here as well. I swear its warmer outside then it is in here.
Nick's face in my icon/mood theme pretty much sums up how I'm feeling right now. I feel extremely unsocialable at the moment- ideally I would spend the day in my bedroom, blasting out some music and eating lots of chocolate spread on toast. Mmmm. But alas I have work to do. : /
After what seems like years, I have finally copied and pasted all the URL codes for my new super duper Nick mood theme made by the superfantastic la_la_laurabee. Yayz! Thanks again Laura! : D
Will update properly tomorrow. Must get to bed so I can get up early to finish the dreaded dissertation. Almost finished it thank Bob.

My day started off badly. My presentation was like a car crash but with alot less blood! I almost broke down at the beginning and had to get the next person to do their presentation so I could compose myself. I don't want to go into details but I've learnt my lesson- its true when they say the truth hurts!
Thank goodness for Alex, who was a ray of sunshine in my otherwise awful day. I manage to speak to him briefly this time and got a laugh out of him and Andy when I walked off without my book after having my photo taken. I am glad my forgetfulness is amusing to someone!
I will write up more tomorrow. Heres a few points I can remember from the Q&A:
1. Alex and Bob have been going to lots of gigs in the last few weeks up in Glasgow. 2. Nick cooking speciality is turnips and carrots- I can't remember if they were mashed or roasted but it made me laugh. : D 3. Erm... my mind is blank now!
I had such a good time, not only because of Alex, but also because I got to see lots of my Franzy friends. I can't wait until we can all meet up again. : )
I had a stroke of luck after joining the queue for the gig. There was a group of young girls in front of us who were talking rather loudly about needing to sell an extra ticket. I asked them about it and they offered it to me for £10 (which is what I paid for it in the first place). So everything worked itself out in the end!
OK, so I ended up buying two tickets, but I had a great time at the gig which more then made up for it. I haven't sweated so much in my life!
I went up to London to see the Rodin exhibition at The Royal Academy today (which was really good but thats not the point of this post). As I had a gig to go to this evening down in Brighton I decided to go straight from London back home to save journey time. So I met my mum in my home town, was just about to get in the car to drive home when I suddenly realised....
I had left my ticket at my uni house.
I am majorly pissed. Its too far to travel back to Canterbury to get the ticket. Plus it wouldn't be worth it. I would miss most of the gig and the ticket itself was only £10. I'm usually so careful about making sure I pack my tickets, just not this time.
At least it wasn't a Franz gig I forgot the ticket to! Still, I do really like The Automatic (who I was supposed to be seeing) and I've heard their really good live.
My parents seem to think that I might be able to get into the gig with just my ticket confirmation print out but I'm doubtful. If that doesn't work, I will be spending the evening with my parents while my brother and his girlfriend go to the gig. Oh joy! Don't get me wrong, I get on really well with my parents. Its just I'm in no mood to be around them when I'm this pissed off!
My brother found out about the gig on Sunday. You had to buy the album from the Virgin Megastore in London's Oxford Street in order to get into the gig. As my brother was working on Monday and therefore couldn't make it up to London, he asked if I could go up and get it for him. He was paying for my train fare up there so I didn't see why not! Anyway, I decided to give him some company at the gig so I brought a copy of the album as well. Its actually really good. There must be something in the water up in Glasgow, all the great bands that come from there.
I was in music heaven when I was up in London. I found Box Codax's album (at last!) and I couldn't resist buying another Franz vinyl as well. I will probably buy some more CDs/vinyls up there today, especially since my nan has just paid me for the work I did round her house.
Yay for new music! : )
