Feeling Blueee.

I've been given my timetable for the next 9 weeks, and it is INTENSE !
It really is jam packed, with different little projects happening with different teachers with different deadlines.
I started this week with my tutor Carol, and she got us to do some really cool drawing exercises, including drawing with masking tape! Mine came out really cool but I haven't had a chance to photograph it and it's still stuck up on my wall. OH! we have also been given our own little desks and a drawer each and stuff, so I've already had fun sticking my 'inspiration' all over the place. My group is pretty cool, Mel is in it, and Laura who are my favourite people there so I got really lucky with that.

On Tuesday we had life drawing with Bob, and I'm still not great at it :/
He's always really intrigued by mine because when people draw people they nearly Always draw the head to big for the body, and the body too big for the legs. But cos I'm trying to avoid that mine always end up with the legs too long and the head too small..

I'm working on it though! As soon as I get one that I vaguely like I'll scan it in.
Then Wednesday we learnt how to use the vacuum former to make moulds that you then fill with plaster, and that will be finished on Wednesday in a fortnight. I actually have research to do on that one :/ Anddd in the afternoon there was a visiting lecturer talking about her work as a fine art animator, which was pretty interesting but not all that.

and Today! We spent the whole day learning little things about photoshop and playing with photos. It was mainly to help people that had never used photoshop before so I didn't learn that much but it was pretty fun anyway.


I'm still not great friends with anyone, and it still can be a little awkward but it's generally getting better.
Yesterday all of the people I usually sit with were busy or at home so I felt like a complete dork and sat on my own. I'm still on a bit of a downer after that now to be honest. I don't feel like I've ever had that much trouble making new friends before so I really don't know how to deal with it when I'm in that situation. I found coming home and crying was the only thing I could come up with.
But today was a bit better, and it'll all be okay.

I went to the cinema with Becky and Clarks last night and it felt really good to be with people that knew me. I miss everyone so much. I've spoken to Bee and Kiff on the phone a few times and a few texts with others, but it's so weird to think that they are all out having a really good time and meeting people when I feel all sad and lonely :/

The film we went to see was really good, "Adventureland"
I thought that it was like a funny film, but it was actually kinda sad and true about life and stuff. It made me think quite a lot. It was filmed in a really interesting way too.

I think I've probably complained enough for today. I have Contextual studies tomorrow which I'm actually not looking forward too at all. Usually I do quite like learning about the history and everything of it, but I'm trying not to let myself get bored too much atm cos that's when I get all sad and that is bound to happen tomorrow.!
