The Final Countdown

So today was my last school exam!
(not to rub it in anyone's face)

But I am officially free (well partially) to do what I want! well there's the art exhibition and music exams and yearbook handouts etc but nearly there!
To be precise, next Tuesday will be the beginning of what is sure to be the most procrastinational (is that even a word?) summer yet...
For once, I have no art work I HAVE to do, though I intend on doing lots just for fun (who would have thought!). And no preparational work or aims towards anything....

So yes, good times or what?
Hopefully I'll get a chance to hang out with all my friends properly for one of the last times for a while (*tear*) but lets not think about that too much....other summer plans?.....

I hopefully be going Stateside for three weeks and I intend to see everything possible in New York and Chicago and as fellow artists will know, what trip abroad would be complete without art gallery visits?! So yes, I had to make a list of places, just so my parents could decide what they should do while I stare at a painting for three hours or so....

But yeah, summer, it's just a couple of days away!
Can't wait for it to begin, but I guess it really is an end of an era...

PS. those of you who will be in Monday, don't forget to collect your yearbooks from me and get them signed before you leave.

Looking for Motivation...

So exams have been tough and my room has looked like this for the past two weeks

and motivation levels have reached an all-time low....

that's when i stumbled upon this poster made for me as a present by some very special people in the place we know as the art rooms....

all I can say is...

'GOOD TIMES GUYS'.

Hello there...

So wow, long long times.....

Between all my interent connection problems, an extended stay in Italy and general coursework/exam revision this space here got neglected....not that it makes much difference to anyone but me...but atleast i'm back!

If we thought March was crazy, April and May were worse...i really don't have the time or the space probably to fit this all in so lets jsut say it was wild times.

Heres a short run through of the highlights.....(if you care)....

• Went to Itlay, got stuck there thanks to a volcano (in Iceland)
• Sprained my ankle....purely by falling down while walking....[well done Manisha, you just broke your clumsiness record]
• Had my real art exam and actually finished my painting! [shock for anyone who knows me]
• Had my final day of school ever.....it was really depressing and thanks to Cat Potter I cried....[she knows why]
• The ordeal to finish yearbook....involving 4am bedtimes during study leave and exams....I actually have every person's yearbook profile ingrained in my memory, right in the place where I'm meant to be storing maths and physics?

ahh yes exams....oh dear....anyone who takes maths...I feel your pain....those exams have got to be some of the worst of my life....just...no words to describe what I felt after C3, atleast C4 was slightly better?

Anyway the first week of exams is over thankfully and i'm taking a 'break'....so I thought I might aswell revamp this blog....what do we think?....Brownie Points for guessing the significance of the background....

So maybe in about two weeks, I can finally catch up properly, some photos I took will be uploaded (but as of yet are still in my camera) and you may be seeing./hearing/reading a lot more....

[Ps. good luck for exams!!]
