Plans gone wrong.

As always when I plan something it doesn't turn out like it's supposed to... This time it is not in my favour, but you know life goes on.

I'm just a bit miffed that my birthday got wiped off the map because of my brother's birthday. I know it's his 18th and it's very special, but why does that mean I can't have one little party? I haven't had a party since I was 7, jeez. Although I'm happy that he gets a special dinner to celebrate his 18th, he's going out with his friends this weekend too so I'm sure he'll have a blast! I just hope he doesn't get drunk...Yikes.

I've also managed to pick up two more job applications. I'll fill 'em out and hopefully have them sent back within the next two days or so... Hope I actually get hired, though I doubt I will. No one wants to hire a 16 year old with no experience. All the jobs available right now are Management ones anyway, a full time job that I can't work for! Ah well. Hope you're all doing better than I am, I have to say I'm feeling quite down in the dumps.

Weeeee!

Second day at college today and I gotta say I'm having a blast! Lovin' the classes even if I'm still too shy to barely speak. Gotta say I'm so happy I got in. The classes are a lot more art-involved and thus more interesting to a doodler like me. So far I've had a Sound class, Photography class, Life drawing class...And on Thursday it'll be my first Lighting class and animation class! I can hardly contain myself with excitement.

As for tomorrow, seeing as I have a day off I'm planning to go on the hunt for jobs before meeting up with a few friends during their lunch break so I can say a proper good bye. Ohhh which reminds me, I popped in today after class time and said good bye to the majority of the teachers I had at Boroughmuir before signing a leavers forum...

Some how through all of that I also got invited back to go to the Sixth year prom, even if I've left...Which should be rather lovely to go along to, see old friends and stuff. But that's not for a long time yet!

Doodled something up for you all as well, even if it was rather quick. Please enjoy!

Interviews.

Well I just had an interview at Stevenson college for my animation course option. As it stands I don't think I will get a spot, not because of my work but because of a faulty computer. There's supposed to be one more computer in the room but apparently the tech people aren't fixing it or whatever. So I'm probably not going to get a place which sucks because it means I have to stay at Boroughmuir.

However, I do have a reserved spot in case someone wants to drop out of the class, so if anyone does I'll be able to get in. They think I'm very young for doing it though, because a few more highers will improve my chances at art colleges... Oh well.

They said if I had applied a little earlier they would have given me a spot, but I do have other options. I can either start college in January instead and have another interview in November/December, or wait another year.

They'll give me a call later on with what's happening, but I must say it doesn't look like I'll be going this year. Sucks to be me.

Well.

Onto the practice of human anatomy!...Well soon enough anyway, I plan on creative a study of human figures over the summer and keeping it in a folder/book of some description. I'll be sitting around various spots in Edinburgh and sketching out things when the weather agrees. That is if my plan comes together or not, but I'll be doing my damnedest to make it happen!

For this occasion I have complied a few rough sketches of a human head, but bare in mind people I suck at realism, and this is from memory. No refs were used at all so they're, well, like I said. Rough.

Enjoy!
