A Little Pre-bed Blogging...

I'm reading Nineteen Eighty-Four at the moment. I made a slow start at first as I found the resulting depression and paranoia hard to deal with in large chunks, but more recently I got into the swing of it, and as a result was reading it for far too long before getting up and getting on with some work today.

The art course I'm starting in a week or so has sent out some assignments for us to complete over the summer, and I'm currently working on some model furniture - today; a bath (I suppose they're more household items and appliances, but they used furniture as a general term.) I have eschewed the more traditional oblong in favour of a circle, in the hope that if I get this shape right it will look sleek and modern without needing much additional work on details. I'll post a photo when I'm done if it's any good.

Tomorrow's tasks: MORE furniture building. I didn't get any tidying done today, so that stays on The List. Tuesday; buy a t-shirt and maybe a new fabric pen to start work on a Mew design (Scandinavian band, check them out - their video for 156 on Youtube is a good place to start.)

Hello World

Spent some of this morning cutting out 10x10cm squares of pattern for a wallpaper design I've got to make for college. I used the repetitiveness of cutting out the fifty or so remaining of 108 squares as a chance to watch Everybody Loves Raymond and listen to some music while I worked.

Did a little drumming practise around lunchtime - I've been working on Knights of Cydonia (mostly the fills in the middle of the song.)

Now I've transferred to my mum's house for some food, sleep and a shower before going out - seeing Republic (http://www.myspace.com/republicofficial)* and probably Censored (http://www.myspace.com/censoredville).

Tomorrow's tasks: Start working on some model furniture, and do some tidying.
