This week we annoyingly don't have any workshops or lectures at university (again!). Except for on Monday I had my unit assessment. I got an 2.1 (or a B) which is second best in university standards. I'm happy but surprised as I can't honestly say that I worked that hard. I often didn't go and half did my research and did most of my shoots within week. I thought their standards would be higher. My tutor Matthew also informed me about Thursday. We're going to have celebration in Photo Space for which they're holding a photo competition for the best Christmas Photo with prizes and drinks, followed by going bowling. So because I've been terribly bored I decided to have a go at this Christmas Photo and do a little shoot with one of my house mates in my room. Might as well, there isn't much else to do for me. So on Monday after talking to Matthew I went to the pound shop in the Elephant and Castle's shopping centre and bought some tinsels and a couple of rows of ribbons. I initially wanted to do an abstract nude with a big ribbon on top of my model but the only person who was up for doing it, Sophie, wasn't home in the evening. Instead I did all black. Yesterday I went to uni to rent out a film camera and some lighting equipment and asked Esmeé to help me out with modelling for me. I shot all on film but I also did some digital just in case they don't turn out well. After getting my equipment out of uni I went to a couple of shops and did some food shopping because I really didn't have any food at home. I've taken a liking in cooking actually. I got home yesterday and made a rice dish, mussels and prawns cooked in garlic butter with rice, with a glass of red wine. YUM. Then I drank nearly the whole bottle of my wine and was still only slightly tipsy. Unfortunately I think this means I should really cut down on red wine.. Then I had a long hot bath which was really lovely, because it's getting colder and colder. Couldn't get to sleep, second night in row, twisting and turning in my bed for hours listening to the harsh winter winds outside my window.
Today I got up early, made some breakfast, got ready, read the newspaper and uploaded my digital photos form yesterday. I'll share some of them underneath. But anyway it's a great day, sun is shining and I'm in a great mood, compared to yesterdays apathetic moodyness I had all day long, listening to the Smiths and staring blankly at the grey shade of this city. Today I'm going to into uni get my photos processed and edited, send them to my tutor and then at 5pm I've decided to go to a lecture on fairytales which sounds quite good at my uni. There are so many events and talks hosted by our uni, I feel like I should really take the advantage of them. Tomorrow London College of Fashion are holding a fair near Oxford Circus displaying and selling unique pieces made my their students at affordable prices (well that's what it says, I'm sure I'll go along and realize on how much of a budget I am ).
Here are some photos from this week.
From yesterday.
On Saturday before work I got to work about half hour early so sat next door outside a little cafe and people watched.
A girl outside our house stood like this for about five minutes. Weird.
Haha.
Background TV this morning.
Breakfast this morning. Also I would highly recommend taking vitamins at this time of the year. I have fish oil, multivitamins and C vitamin water every day to help my shitty immune system. And I'm surprisingly not ill. Touch wood.
Till next time,
