(I've been really obsessed with this song and was listening to it on repeat whilst 'attempting' to write my essay last weekend. Listening to music was probably a bad idea lmao but ANNIEDED something to keep me from falling asleep. This gif is an accurate representation of me awkwardly dancing around to my music whilst trying to string together coherent sentences and write something that aCtUaLlY made sense)


*EXHALE* I can finally relax and put my feet up (literally) because I HAVE FINISHED ALL UNI ASSESSMENTS FOR THIS YEAR. 

HAHAHA look at my toes in this photo
Although this year brought many stressful moments and MY FIRST WHITE HAIR, I can proudly say that I'M STILL SANE. SO YAY ME. I have officially finished my first year of architecture :) Despite the occasional miniature breakdowns leading up to DESIGN due dates, I have enjoyed this year A LOT and met many new people that share the same interests/passion as me :) :)chEERS TO THAT.

I'm sUper keen for the next 3 and a half months of holidays. Although right now I'm honestly still in recovery mode because the past few weeks have kind of completely DRAINED me. I feel as though being in the studio really changes my personality along with everyone else's as well. There is no such thing as acting 'normal' after sitting in the studio for more than 5 hours. TRUST ME I WOULD KNOW. Throughout the past year I have found myself falling off chairs, speed-wheeling around the studio, hysterically laughing for long periods of time, snapping pieces of balsa wood as a form of therapy, as well as gaining injuries caused by studio doors, hot glue guns, paper, wire and Stanley knives.
LEL FUTURE ARCHI KIDS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. (Also why are Stanley knives called Stanley knives? Was it named after someone called Stanley?!? I MEAN imagine having a knife named after you. ANNIE KNIFE. nope not feeling it.)

I've just realised that now I'm free I HAVE SO MUCH TIME. WHAT DO I EVEN DO? Now I can't use 'uni' as an excuse to NOT do things. FOr example, over the past year I have accidentally neglected reading my books. I've still kept up the habit of buying them and adding to my collection BUT I HAVEN'T COME AROUND TO EVEN TAKING ANY OFF MY BOOKSHELF AND OPENING UP THE COVERS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME BECAUSE I USED TO READ SO MUCH. I think it has something to with my heightened addiction to the internet. O WELL, this holidays I definitely plan on getting ma nerd on. These are the books I've yet to read; I plan on getting through half of them (that's realistic right) in the next 3 months. Unless I accidentally spend all my time watching TV shows (I'm going to start supernatural oh boy 10 seasons aka 200 hours of MY LIFE)

oops i've been a lazy bitch this past year

I've also decided it's really time to get back into art and actually DO STUFF. I'm in need of arts and crafts therapy; although, we'll see if I pull through considering the fact that I'm really good at making these types of empty promises to myself. 

I really enjoy working with black ink paper and pigmented pens. IDK there's just something about it. Here's what I've been finishing up over the past couple of days. 

lol white finger print at the bottom
White pencil is bitch because it actually smudges.
I need to buy some of that stay-spray.
I'll probably move onto some larger scale projects next week, but right now I'm in that post-assignment-hand-in state of euphoria where I just feel like lying on my bed and doing nothing at all. Which is exactly what I did today.

I also wanted to say: I've been seeing all of these graduating high school posts on Facebook recently and it's kinda snapped me into reality becAUSE THIS WAS ME, LAST YEAR. An entire year has passed and not only am I now a university student, I'm also now no longer a 'first year' student. It'll only be a matter of time before everyone I know is (hopefully) graduated and working and just DOING THINGS. Some of us might even be married and have kids and IT'S JUST ALL SO CRAZY BECAUSE I STILL FEEL LIKE I'M FIVE. But the facts are: in 7 years time I will be 25. Add another 5 years to that and i'll be 30. THIRTY. I feel as though I'm hurdling through time and soon enough I'm going to be hitting menopause. 
IT'S 1AM - IM NOT READY TO HAVE A MINI EXISTENTIAL CRISIS SO GOODNIGHT THIS IS WHERE THE BLOG POST ENDS.

peace owt
