Ho hum. I'm staying up all night tonight. It would be nice to one day stay up all night for a FUN reason. Tonight I am going to try and write my Mexican Muralism essay, even if it kills me. I have a deep seated dislike of American art. I apologise to those who enjoy the works of Grant Wood, Thomas Hart Benton and those of their ilk, but I just can ( Read more... )

Well, I'm in the library and bored (duh) so I thought I'd do that word thing my Mum gave me, since all the cool kids are doing it ( Read more... )

Golly it's been a while, definitely time for an update.
Well, the good news is I really enjoyed my trip to Cambridge (was visiting J, my flatmate L's sister). The bad news is, I LOVED it and now really want to go. Which will make it much harder if I don't get in. I was staying with Jenny in Downing College, a stunning piece of Jane-Austen-y type ( Read more... )

 Those who have read my mum's post will already know that I got my place at the Courtauld. I shan't boast but I am pretty chuffed :) I have to get 65% which is pretty do-able I think. This is such good news, as anyone experiencing the recession will know - there just aren't many jobs out there for graduates, especially art history grads! So I can ( Read more... )

Happy Valentine's Day to those who care (not the world's most sincere holiday if we're honest but I'm all for love in any form), My love to you all.

am very impressed that I worked out how to insert this btw.

 Well, the interview is done, which is certainly positive. Much of it was fairly straightforward, although there were a couple of moments of pure panic, and one instance of deep academic shame. Whether this means I didn't get it I haven't a clue but fingers crossed. I will know by Monday so at least the waiting period is short (not like UCAS and ( Read more... )

Why, why, WHY must the man upstairs play 50s rock so loudly at 2a.m.???? Especially tonight when I actually care. Damn and blast him, when I went up to complain he said he didn't think it was excessive but would turn it down. I'd love to know what he thinks turning it down means, but it clearly doesn't match up with my understanding of the term. I ( Read more... )

 Having a major stress out currently. I don't think I'm going to do well tomorrow and I feel sick. Although the nasal swelling has all but disappeared which is excellent. I also cannot think what to wear tomorrow... shallow I know but it seems really important right this second. And I really wish that I wasn't so stressy as Andy is here and despite ( Read more... )

Oh no oh no oh no disaster - was playing with laptop whilst lying in bed, as is usual before sleep. said laptop then fell on my face giving my nose a decided wack. No blood or breakages but despite much icing and rubbing (I read that it prevents bruising or something???) there is a very definite change in shape. It doesn't look bad, yet. If you ( Read more... )
