Heyy...
Since I last blogged on here...everything has been pretty chilled out I guess...hmm what have i been upto?
I went to the opening of the foundation course exhibition on monday which was really good. It was way too hot plus with a lotta ppl being inside the building and too little space...felt claustrophobic. I really enjoyed it though. On the Tuesday I met up with Marcia and we decided to go to the movies. My mate JJ was working there which was kewl so we got chatting for a while...(JJ let us in for free which was very nice of him!) Marcia and I decided to watch United 93 which was about 9/11.
I have to say it was a very intense film and also quite interesting. I remember reading that families of the victims of 9/11 had input into the film. Indeed it was a very moving and emotional film. I felt myself coming to tears when I watched the passengers on board the 4th plane use the aeroplane phone to call their families to say 'goodbye' and 'I love you'. It was sad. It was interesting though...if the film is almost 100% true about the actions of the military...because they were portrayed negatively. They did screw up...they knew from earlier signs that there was a hijacked plane...but they didn't act upon it until they thought they had sufficient information. Also when president bush decided to act upon the devasting news...it was way too late. They terminated all international flights and gave military orders by 12.08pm...when all four planes had crashed by 10.30pm..(I think)...I have been thinking...I know there isn't much to see at ground zero..but I would like to pay my respect to all those ppl whose lives were taken on September 11th 2001.

After the movie, Marcia and I headed to Bournville as we had to invigilate the Fine Art rooms. I met Anna who sed she was invigilating the rooms as well...Guess what? We had been there for about 15 mins...when I thought I'd go and look at the tutorial times...for the results. I also looked at the invigilation sheet and realised that Terry had re-written another one and obviously not informed us! It said that Marcia and I were supposed to invigilate on Wednesday! I was pissed off to be honest..lol I just thought what a wasted journey! So...I thought it's pointless with 3 of us invigilating so one of us whould go home and come back tomorrow...well the other 2 couldnt make Wednesday...so I went home.
Wednesday came..lol...and just as I was making my way to Bournville I meet my sister walking up the road..who was coming to view the exhibition too. I had to go because I was running late already...so she met me there...along with my mom and her friends Linda and Sue. It was pretty quiet...when I got there. I thought I would really enjoy it...haha..well I did enjoy looking at everyone's work...but there was this one video piece accompanied by music...classical music to be specific...yeah it was calming and relaxing but after 30 mins it was doing my head in! Seriously it gave me a really bad headache! I was just looking forward to going home! It was kewl though...afterwards we went to Linda and Sue's house for a while...and it was really nice coz they cooked a few things and we had a good chat...
Thursday...oooh yeah..haha. I was literally cleaning my room from 9am - 11pm. I gave my room a thorough clean actually..cleaned all the skirting boards.. hoovered behind my bed..wiped and dusted my windowsills, shelves, wardrobe...yup so its brand spanking new! All of my art junk has been sorted...recycled a lot of stuff in the recycling box...pretty much everything is done i guess...so not much prep to do for uni. One job I could do is have a clear out of my wardrobe and donate stuff to charity...hmmm that could be a job for tomorrow!
Friday...I finished off the cleaning and chilled for the day.
Saturday was at work then went to my nan's which was fun. I have a job for my uncle's wedding which is taking place in London this summer. I have to make the Mehndi trays/plates for the Mehndi...which actually seems like a lotta fun!
Today I was at work...but only because I owe them a day because I took some time off to work on my art...it was good fun seeing the Sunday ppl..Rachel and Neesha make me laugh so much! It was so funny today!
Hmm...other news oooh yeah I got a place on the Voices for Change Summer School...I was really happy because I thought I submitted a crap application and wouldn't be offered a place...but yeah I'm sorta in. The problem is the money! I kinda don't have any at the moment...hence why I need to work extra hours...oh the fun. But I was deciding on a lotta things really...like this summer I was also up for starting my driving lessons...but if I'm honest I can't afford driving lessons and summer school. I know driving lessons can wait...and I don't really wanna learn how to drive..it really doesnt interest me at all (my mom keeps going on at me to learn while im still young...so im still thinking about it...i mean i could dedicate my summer to learnin how to drive coz i wont be up to much else apart from kick starting the fairtrade campaign and extra hours...) this year summer school will be different than last year's...coz it's being held in the UK...more international participants are likely to attend plus this year its camping and not dorms which is really exciting! I dunno though...I best think about it soon though and make a firm decision!
Lol..I'm jus thinking this blog must be my longest to date!
I have been planning my jobs for this week...well tomorrow is going to be completing odd jobs...tuesday is results day...(aah!i just hope i pass!lol)..wednesday im going the O2 Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, London to see THE STROKES (I love jules and fab and nick!)lol...theyre so wicked...and I promised Loz I'd go to see them next time theyre in the UK! Whilst I'm in London I am hoping to meet up with Elle, a mate of mine from school. I haven't actually seen her since last year...omg..since my fashion show which has been about a year and a half now...wow! She kinda lives there now...which is kewl..doing a job related to the UN Reform. I can't wait to see her it will be great to catch up...plus she's working at the bar at the o2 fest so yeh groovy!
Hmm...not sure at the mo what else is planned? My birthday is on Sunday which I'm excited about it...I can't wait to be 19...I'll defo prefer it to being 18. I think Sunday is going to be a family get-together. I want to organise something with my friends I was thinking of going to a theme park...now thats what I call having fun! hehe...yeh maybe...
Anywayz...I think I may get a good night's sleep...its only 10.15pm which is way early for me.haha after all those days staying up til 3am/4am. It's catching up on me now!
Peace n love,
