Found my sketch book while looking for unfinished homework this morning, here's your piccy :D
You'll have to forgive me, I have plenty of pictures in this little book of mine, but not enough to cover the ENORMOUS gap that my scanner made me miss. So I'll just start again from here, and maybe do extra pics at the end of the year x3
Best character ever out of Notre Dame
My sister was watching so I decided to seize the moment, since I've always wanted to draw him

Right. Back to the unfinished homework! xD

Today was a suprisingly good Thursday. Lol
I thought it would be a bit crap cos I actually started college related stuff 2 hrs earlier than usual, but it was quite fun.
Went to Hertfordshire Uni today (BARBIE BUSSES!) to see some year 1 graphic students showing their work, which our graphics teacher offered for us to sit in on Monday. It was all really good (: I knew what building it was cos it's the same building as the one used for the flash course. And my friend decided to come in 2 HOURS earlier than everyone else. (It started at 10, but she came in at 8). I dunno how she could be bothered, she early for everything. Maybe she just hates being late...
3 got lost and went to the wrong building :/ lols (there was 5 of us)
Felt kinda sorry for them. They went all the way to the otherside of the campus :/ Took them 20 minutes to find us
It was like, 12 when the presentation ended. So we had to make our way to college from there. I went on two barbie busses, didn't pay a thing :D haha, good ol' student cards lol. But we seriously had to wait like half n hour for 1 bus. Went past us once, stupid thing :/
We were like 15 minutes late for photography, which is better than we thought we'd be lol. And I actually got a decent print, though it's covered in scratches :/ My film was well screwed up. Half of them have a strip of light exposure across because I was a retard and opened the camera back without thinking. And the good onhes have marks all over them, even though I've cleaned them 3 times :/
It's kinda worrying really. Only having 1 decent-ISH print and the deadline being next week :/ shit.
Also, apparently I'm a print-making-machine xD I wishhh
Tutorial was random and funny. Not boring like usual~ We're having english lessons (though they're alot more fun than normal ones. I guess it's cos they're not that serious...) instead of normal tut and AH lessons. Cos we have a functional skills test on Tues. Not a big deal so no one really cares lol. R made us come up for alternations of words. Like if she gave you a formal word like 'malfunctioned', she wanted you to come up with a slang alternative like 'buggered up' lol
Anyway, she gave us the slang 'getting off', as in with someone. So my group came up with the word 'courting' lol. And then a girl went 'WHAT'S COURTIN'?' You had to be there. The way she said it was so funny, I couldn't stop laughing...
Then R was like- 'Tell which one of these letters is formal, and which is not' So we were like fine and she read us the letter. One was like 'Dear so n so, bla bla bla, sincerly, laurence oliver laurence blegh' So we were like, well that was boring. Then she starts the slang letter and goes 'Dear shits...' and something about Borris n Badger xD
I couldn't really hear because everyone was laughing too much. I'm really tempted now to just go into the exam and start the letter as 'Dear shits' xDD
Omg. It was so funny. I guess you had to be there. But yeah, that was my day.
ALSOOOO. SCANNER IS FIXEDDD! Woo! So I'll start pic-a-day again TONIGHT.

Also might start using twitter again. Or it might just be another phase. Who knows, who knows...
http://twitter.com/DDay91
Also this is my 100th post, woooo!
I was quite suprised I slept that long in the first place, I was awake till 1 the night before but that's not that late. Found it weird I woke exactly on the dot of 12:15 too, it's like one of those sci-fi movies.
Had a really strange dream as well. The most prominent bit was me piloting a helicopter over the sea (like, right next to a concrete pier thing) but for some reason I couldn't see and I was freaking out, though not as much as I would if I actually was piloting a helicopter blindfolded... I think the only reason I was freaking out was cos I was in a storm. Not a rainy one but a tornado thing. And I was imagining what was happening and my foot was sticking outside this helicopter and I had canvas shoes on (again, wtf?). And my foot touched this other helicopter twice and since you can feel things really easily through those things I could feel it lol. Though it didn't hurt... and we all got sucked into this tornado twice. It was like being on a rollercoaster. Yeah, that's what it was exactly like, a rollercoaster.
Then I got out somehow and I was on the pier talking to these people I supposedly knew and someone gave me a medicine cup saying to me: "Drink this. Don't worry, it's only water." And I didn't for a couple of seconds and they frikking shoved it down my throat. So I choked, (it was only water though, lol), then argued with this person for 5 minutes about what they did and then I woke up.
It was really fkin weird. Like seriously. There was loads more before that but all I can remember about that was it being funny...
Also my helicopter was badass red. Beat that.
Oh btw, happy V-day everyone for the next 14 minutes, lol

I love this song, Royksopp rocks.
I watched E.T today for the first time in FOREVER, I forgot how much I love that movie. Anyways, it inspired me to work on my own project thing (I'm going to try and write the storyline in script form, and get it all sorted out). I'm going to try and develop the story and characters more, and do more concept art and stuff. I don't wanna make a movie, but I do wanna have as much detail as I can about everything. Every single little thing.
Then I remembered this: A thing I did before I lost my room for 3 weeks
Hopefully this'll make up for my lack in the art department lately. Please keep in mind that it's scrappy cos it's just a storyboard animation, and I haven't had time to refine it, otherwise I would of. Also it hasn't got a proper end, it kind of cuts off, but it explains the reason Pin ends up crashing to Earth. Hence the name, 'Crash Landing'. Hope you enjoy

Anyway. I chose one in Currys, then got it on amazon for £100 less! Woo! Though the £100 we saved is for the equipment you get with it. But after getting that as well we still saved like, £50 so whatever. I'm waiting in excitement :D
MY
GOD
FINALLY
Gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous. These things are like frikking oxygen to me. Been craving them all week and bought a packet 2 days ago but only just now got to eat them. Omg i'm not even exagerating, i'm such a fatty lol.
Got tea too. Ready salted crisps pwn biscuits with tea. Ready salted crisps pwn ALL.

Yesterday felt like a Saturday, cos everyone was home again. My poor sense of time has gone out the window, and there wasn't much of it to start with.
I don't like Thursdays. Never really liked Thursdays. There's not really a reason not to like them, I just don't.
Anyways, it was quite funny. Since our photo teacher went on one of the many art trips for the second years, we had R, our personal tutor, who also takes us for the hour lesson afterwards aswell (which is like enrichment condensed... omg. Except it's called tutorial in college).
No one really turned up on time, (I was actually early for once, woop woop lol) , cept' for 3 of us, and she came along and let us in, then went to get her lunch.
Now R is a perfectly nice lady. She can be quite likeable. But she can also be very boring, and she seems to have personal space issues. She gets right up close to you, and she doesn't change her clothes very often... which puts many people off her. We actually counted the number of days she wore the same outfit to classes, and it was like, 2 weeks? Then she wore a diff outfit for one day, and everyone was suprised (seriously, lol) and then the next day she wore the before outfit. I dunno.
She also thinks I'm some kind of leper or something. Whenever she sees me she asks if I'm fitting in, or making friends or whatever. It gets really annoying. The whole group is basically mates with each other, (it's the other 2 groups that are having social soaps lol), and she's seen me talk to loads of people. So I really don't know what the problem is that she thinks I have. She also talked to my Mum for about half an hour at Parents Ev on Tuesday about it. Which just provokes Mum's theory that I'm shy as well. Ffs. I swear one day I'm just gonna burst and shout it all in her face instead of silently agreeing with her accusations all the time.
Anyway, so everyone else came up in one big clump of people while she was away, and they were all like 'Where's the teacher?' So we told them R was covering, and since she had the lesson afterward as well, they realised they could just skyve the afternoon and go home. Which half of them did. They were all like 'The bus might still be there! You never saw me!', and ran out the door. Lol
R also asked me to help this girl with processing her film, since I did it last year. (This is one reason I like photography, I don't have to learn anything new, lols. I also get asked alot of questions, makes me feel all important, haha). I said I'd be happy to, but the girl I was meant to be helping didn't seem that pleased with the situation. Whenever I'm around her she has once of those faces that looks like she's smelt something bad. I knew she wouldn't like it that much. She seems to have some kind of problem with me. Shame is we're good friends with the same person, so we hang around alot anyway, so when the friend's not there it's just awkward silence. So I thought this would be a good time to get over that and decided to help her. SO after she got all her stuff, I noticed she was missing something and asked her 'Do you have a film opener?' and pointed to where they were. And she nodded. (She doesn't even talk to me. So I end up trying conversation openers and she just goes along with her bad-smell face). So I was like 'Alright... the instrustions are on the board, if you need any help just ask me, I'll be in the dark room.' She didn't even reply after that.
So I started getting my negs ready, and the common client walks in and asks her the same thing I did and she goes 'No I don't. Where are they?' I was trying not to look annoyed and not pay attention, but I'm pretty sure scowled for a second. I know it's a pretty petty thing to get irritated about, but she does it all the time.
Anyway, I went in the dark room, with another of my good friends. There's only two of us, and we're like joking and what not, and she walks in and keeps asking for the friends help. Not mine, even though I've not seen them talk before. This happened about 7 times or something. And then she came in the dark room, and the friend had gone on the pc and stuff so it was just me and her now. And she wouldn't even come up to the trays cos I was there. She just set up her englarger then un set it up and went away.
I don't even know what her problem is. I don't ignore her so why does she ignore me? It's frikking annoying. I don't think I'm gonna bother trying to start talking with her anymore. She can keep being stupid and I'll just ignore her like she does me. Twat.
Apart from that, it was okay. Had jokes in the dark room with mates, and I now need to get a new box of paper cos I swear I'm always sharing with someone during lessons. Haha
Also, ended up having no tut anyway, we convinced her to let us go early, lols.

I've always liked this song, but I never knew who sang it or seen the video. I quite like it though. It's oddly captivating, like the song, lol.
Didn't have art history today, cover didn't turn up so everyone just went home after half n hour. So I got to come back like 2 hours earlier than usual. Woo!
And my sister came home early as well. Though it was cos she had to have sitches in her leg. It's weird everyone being home on a Tuesday, lol.

Before you ask I'm using lyric vids cos the vids either
-aren't embed allowed and
- they load faster than videos, so I can have them on in the background and they won't keep stop-starting
Lol
I love both of themmmmm. They're both good versions.
I remember the first time I heard the Derulo version months ago, I was just sitting there, and then suddenly realised that I knew the women's part, haha
I was just humming and then was like, wait, how the hell do I know this?
Anyway, they've both been out for ages but I didn't know what one I liked better so I put both.
Fun times.
I feel disgusting. I think I'm coming down with something, I've felt terrible all day. Stupid sickness.
I feel like I'm gonna puke.
Nice, Diana. Niceeee.
But I did get a distinction in graphics :D That made me happy.
So far this has been a good week, hope it stays that way~
