Mondays, how many of these can I take?

I finally got some good news! My photography unit 1 coursework deadline date is postponed for 2 weeks! I honestly thought I was gunna hug Amelia when she told us haha, I'm so pleased! If we had to give it in this Thursday, I would have had to stay up today and tomorrow sticking in, not such a pleasant idea. 
Today was verry cold. It was around +5 degrees and all I had on was a leather jacket, shirt, tights and shorts, I was dying. In the morning I had four hours of art, in which we had one on one discussions with Heather (our actual teacher) and Lee ( (a guy) our trainee art teacher). I still don't exactly know what I'm doing but I think I'm going to bring in symbolism in portraiture, similar to some of Frida Kahol's work. Obviously not as deep and beautiful because she had a tragic life and, well mine isn't so tragic... So my first idea is to get my mum to sit down in a very posed way and hold a big clock in her hands and look to the left (as in looking back)- symbolizing the speed of time. Basically how fast her life has gone by and she is looking back, thinking about things she could have changed and done. I want it to look quite illustrated, so I'm going to use ink or watercolor and strong use of line. Sorry, I really doubt it that any of you were actually interested in all that...
Yeah so back to my day. I caught a bus to City Center and went to my photography class. I didn't manage to do much though, just printed out my contact sheets from the photo shoots and my analysis write-ups. And I researched some photographers, but that's about it.
After college I went to do some Charity shopping, I ended up buying a similar shirt to what I already have, a DVD and a book. The movie's called 'The memoir of a Geisha' and its a beautiful story, I'm sure you've all seen it. And the book's called '10 things before I die' or something, which is meant to be beautiful, sad story about a girl who's dying from cancer and she's determined to cross off every single thing off her list before she dies. 
So when I got home, I did my art homework I ( I just finished the piece I started in school) and then watched the DVD.
have a nice Tuesday :)
