I finally finished my English Module B essay on Hamlet and Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead last weekend, and handed it in two days ago. Last night I had a dream that Ms Knorr told me she couldn't return my English essay and feedback back to me because I handed it in far too late (I'm actually one month overdue!). Let's hope such a thing doesn't happen, because I really need that feedback.
I've decided to have a go at Billy Blue 2007 scholarship competition. Upon hearing about it, I figured straight up that I wouldn't be cut out for such a thing. I don't do an art or design course now, and I don't think I'm all that creative anyway - so what was the point, right? My friends said otherwise, and I compromised with myself. The brief is to design a logo, and then apply it to three different products - a website, a survival bag and a calling card. What the heck, I might as well give it a go! And if I get lucky, I'll win a $30,000 scholarship! :) It'll be fun anyway. Give myself a chance to practice my design skills again after so long.
All this hype and interest in graphics design has put me into this trance. I find myself doodling more, and trying to find some kind of appreciation of my artwork or, random doodle shit. There is a growing want for a new laptop - one that will feed my creative needs such as illustration and photoshop and everything else. And the MacBook Pro calls out to me. I'm so entranced by its beauty, no joke - as geeky as that may sound. It's too bad it costs a bomb, though! I need to encourage my dad to get me one. I'll probably need to prove it though. Damn it, I must study.
I have a Biology practical assessment task tomorrow. Most probably the last one we'll ever have. I don't think I'm completely covered for it, but I think I'll be all right. It's worth a whopping 30%, and that's what scares me most - yet, I'm still not super worried about the whole task overall. It's coming to me as just another task to sit through. It'll be all right. Nothing to worry about. No. Just get in there and kick ass... right?
I seem to be allergic to something. Soap, perhaps. Lux soap to be more specific. Otherwise it's my towel. Or my moisteuriser. I'm having such a bad allergic reaction to something! My skin is literally morphing into scales, and it really itches. People have pointed out that it is merely excema, but I like to think of it as an allergic reaction to soap. Nothing more, nothing less.
I've been hitting the gym heaps more. My Korean friend, Kathy has been hit by some kind of inspiration to lose weight (which I don't think she really needs to do, because she's so small and so skinny as she is already!), so we'd decided to go to the gym together three times a week - Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Hopefully, we'll be fitting an hour of pilates in there soon, which will be heaps good too! Other than keeping fit at the gym, soccer's been meh. I haven't been to a single training session since I left the first team. Been far too lazy.
Watched Spiderman 3 last weekend. It was the shit. Honestly, I didn't understand what the hype was all about - it was such a waste. What was up with all the emoness? It got too far, I reckon. So if you haven't seen it yet, don't. Just buy the movie or borrow it off a friend if you can. Save your money for this week's Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End. Mm, yes.
Better get to studying now.
Cheers.
PS. Did I mention before that I finally got Capote's In Cold Blood? The chapters (four in total) are heaps long. I really want to get up to the part where he interviews Perry and Dick, damnit. I don't want to know about what the stupid Clutter family does on weekdays! (Although, it's been a great read! I still can't understand how Capote synthesised journalistic and novel techniques on this story!)
PPS. Does anyone here have a Livejournal account? Just curious to know. Cbox me, plzkthx. :]
PPPS. I did my guitar improv performance last week. It was awesome, besides the fact that my ears got red hot after hitting a few dud notes and messing up a bit. Ahhh I need to control the blood that rushes through my head! (HEHE JUDE)
