The way to heaven is on horseback

sorry for not posting in a few days guys it has been a pretty insane week and between being at the stables, going to see Jack, getting snowed in at Jack's house with Mandy, Darren and George, and trying to get my uni work done and ahead it is safe to say that things are a little hectic. I was poorly Tuesday and Wednesday think I had a 48 hour sickness bug thing but not 100% sure. Wednesday I worked at my stables. Thursday I saw Jack. Friday I spent the day with Mandy, after seeing Jack I had gone back to his house for Tea, however the snow got that bad I ended up staying there for three days. Saturday I was supposed to have a lesson but snow caused that to be cancelled, so I went to see Ella for her first birthday. Sunday (today) I haven't done a lot, of done some uni work and I've caught up on some sleep but that has been about it.  Tomorrow I've got a full day at University, followed by Pony Club. Then my CBT therapy thing that I have to go to for the car acciden...

Hiya Guys,  This is just a quick post from me as it's 1am and I am finally starting to feel tired. I don't know whether I  ever told you that I had got to do some referral work because I had missed my deadline for one of my modules and that if I didn't pass this module I wouldn't be able to keep on doing my course? Well if I didn't I have done now. The deadline for the referral work was monday the 16th of June. However I have decided that I was going to get it handed all in today so that I can just enjoy my weekend with my mum and also seeing jack. So I wouldn't have to be worrying about whether or not I had got it finished. Well I've just uploaded my final piece of coursework, after checking it for plagiarism and coming back with a score of 1% on one and 3% on the other. I then also had a power point to upload and now all I can do is sit around and wait for my uni results to come in. I've emailed the tutor in control of this module to let him know ...

Today has been a good day. I woke up nice and early. Did some research and then I went back to chilling out. I then met up with my boy and we took Klaus for a two hour walk and while my legs aching now I really enjoyed.  I always have a good time when it's me and Jack and Klaus. We can chill out or be hyper and we always end the day on a good night. The thing I love about Jack and I is that we are best friends before we are a couple and that's how it's always been.  Tomorrow I am back in Uni which I am looking forward to as it means that I can get really stuck in to this equestrian photography project that I am doing.  Until Next Time  A Girl With A Dream 

Well not a lot has been going on in my life so i've not got much to update you all on. I've been thinking about my negotiated project for University and what subject I might like to choose for it but I've still not decided fully yet. Other than that I've been spending time with Jack and a few other good friends. It's been nice to just chill out and have nothing to stress about.  They've given out snow for tonight so we will see in the morning whether or not we get any snow, if we do there will be pictures!  Until Next Time  A Girl With A Dream 

Just a quick update to let you know that my car is back home now. It's had all the work done it that it needed doing and I am really glad to have it back because I feel a lot safer in it than I did in the Citroen C1.  The bruises from the car accident with Evie have just about gone now which I'm really happy about but the bruised area on my chest is still quite painful to touch. I will be putting in a claim against Evies car insurance from that night.  I've now officially finished all my uni work for my first semester. I've really enjoyed the course and can't wait to get started on our next project.  Until Next Time  A Girl With A Dream 

Just a quick post from me. Today has been a long day but in some aspects has also been really productive. This morning I helped my mum do the food shopping and then I watched T.V. for a bit before it was time to head in to University. I'd agreed with Charmaine that I would help her with her photoshoot and this is also meant that we got some pretty funny photographs!  This was far too much fun!  This evening I watched some more T.V. then went to my local youth group, it started off going really well and we had a good laugh, Evie and I even spent an hour playing on just dance. It's safe to say between us we hold most of the high scores on it.  But then an incident happened and it just went down hill from there, I'm not going to bore you with the details.  What we do when we are waiting for people to turn up, sat like this then we both went 'how you doing' in a really funny way when she walked in! After we had finished at the youth group we then went to ...

Today has been a good productive day for me, I won't lie I woke up feeling awful and really just wanted to roll over and go back to sleep, but when I started University I decided I was going to try harder to control my stomach pains and not let them control me!  Random Picture of my sister and Brody from Tuesday nigh It also helped that I woke up to the surprise that my nephew would be at my house for the day, that means, cuddle time! I went with my mum to pick him up because my sister was feeling really poorly. He soon fell asleep in the car and only woke up because we had to move him from the car into the house. After he'd woken up he was soon happy to play with the Duplo/lego blocks and of course, cars, his favourite thing.  About 11:30 I had to leave to go in to Uni for an hour to have a group work check. We basically had to present our ideas to the group that we were put in. We then got feed back off the group and also feedback off Carl (lecturer/teacher). ...

Today has been a fairly productive day, this morning I went in to University to get some work done, I wanted to do some printing today and was surprised by how well it went. I didn't stay in for that long because I thought my sister was coming over and also because there was a group that was due to be using the darkroom. I was able to get in there for about an hour though.  A film that I developed earlier in the week. I was so pleased with how these turned out. When I got home I waited until the images were fully dry and then stuck them in my visual technologies book, tomorrow I need to do some writing to go along with the images. I also plan to do some more developing later on in the week or next week.  Film on the roll, before it had even dried. It was such a pretty colour!  This evening I went to my youth groups film night and we watched The Hunger Games. Now this series of films never did appeal to me and today I decided that while I probably won't wa...

Today I had off uni, which meant that I could have a longer sleep, that's always a plus side. I decided that tomorrow I would like to go and print some of my negatives. So my mum helped me to track down where I could buy Ilford Photographic Paper then my uncle took me to get it. For 100 sheets of 10x8 inches it cost me £40 which was really good compared to some other places that I looked at. Then I spent this evening chilling out and watching tv. I also did a couple of drawings in my sketchbook. Tomorrow I plan to go in to Uni for 10:30/11:00 so that I can get my prints done. It will be the first time that I've done printing without the technicians being there, so I'm slightly nervous but also excited. I've got everything written down what I need to do. So I'm just going to have to get on with it!  Until Next Time  A Girl With A Dream 

After catching up on some much needed sleep (I slept from 7pm til 10am). I was up and feeling much better and more awake this morning. I got up in time to go and help my mum and Uncle doing the food shopping, as I know both their backs have been aching recently! Neither are feeling 100%. When we got home I decided that I was going to get some work done I got six pages done (3 in Visual Tech Sketchbook, 2 in Creative skills and 1 in Visual Studies sketch book). I felt like I'd really accomplished something and if I wake up in the morning I want to get another page done before I go to the stables.  Then this evening I went to my youth group which was fairly uneventful up until the end where two of the lads (also one of them a good mate, and another a mate I know fairly well) managed to fall out. Not only that but Evie and I then went to the pub with them and the awkwardness continued. It wasn't the best end to the night but it was a good way to wind down. Now to take more ph...

This was one of my favourites because this little fella just walked right up to me, he wasn't bothered about the camera or the flash it was lovely!  I love this image I think the Donkey has really soft looking eyes and is just 100% adorable. This was on the manual settings and I was surprised by how well it worked. I'll definitely be putting this up so that if people like it they can buy a print of it.  Mummy and youngster, the Little fella is only 18 months old and the adult is pregnant. They are so cute!  I think that this image works really well because of the lighting but simply because it's really cute! This donkey is adorable but has the oddest markings ever.                                                                            ...

Today has been a long and at some points extremely tiring day. This morning we had got a lecture where we looked at different sculptures it wasn't the most helpful thing for me (photographer) but it was still interesting to see!  We then went to Hobby Craft Where I put a new white paint and a new water brush thing, I wanted to get some guilding (not sure how you spell it) flakes but they hadn't got only multicoloured ones so I didn't get any. Then we went to McDonalds for our lunch which was nice the funny thing was I bumped in to Evie while I was there so Charmaine and Evie got to meet.  When we had had our lunch we went back to the campus and did some work in the print rooms, I really enjoyed doing this (we used blue and red ink and made purple). I've never done until now Lino Printing so I'm enjoying playing around with that. They'll come in use for my Silk Screen workshop too, then we had an induction in to the Dark room, we didn't know we neede...

Today has been a lazy day for me as I was not feeling 100% but I still got some work done. I did two pages in two of my books which is what I had wanted to do. I did some photoshop work that looks at multiple exposure photographs that I think has worked fairly well.  I think the three photographs worked more successfully because you can see more detail and the horse is closer. However I do really like this photograph and things that it worked really well. I liked that I was able to line up the fence and poles etc. I would like to look at the use of colour for my next experiment.  Well that's all from me today, tomorrow I'm at Uni and am going to do some lino prints during lunch time.  Until Next Time  A Girl With A Dream
