Done and Dusted

Mon, 13 May 2013 21:05:09 +0100

Today was the the final hand in for my final year at university! No more deadlines and stress, at least until I get a job…

What a year though. It’s flown by, I don’t think a year of education has ever gone so fast for me. But I’m excited for what the future holds, no idea what that may be yet but it’s pretty inspiring stuff to think of everything I can do now! First on the list is to get my room and myself in shape, I really let those two things go in the past few months haha

I’m completely cutting Coca-Cola out of my diet, I drink way to much and it does nothing for me except make me rounder and poorer so I’m giving it up. The weather’s sort of picking up which means I can get out more to go on walks and keep training in parkour, I hate being cooped up in my room all the time and the fresh air helps lift my spirits.

Had some bad news about going back home though, my original plan was to get a job in my hometown and save up enough funds to move and get my own place, but the work situation in Monmouth is looking really bad, people are being laid off and no one is hiring. So right now my only option is to look for something here and hope I have enough money to see me through until the first payment the only problem is that I really don’t want to be in Swansea anymore, but beggars can’t be choosers, hopefully it’ll be temporary anyway!

So yes, interesting times ahead, you can all look forward to new art from me too, I’m itching to get started!

Much love,

Bleached

tehkillachris:

So I visted my sister in Swansea for the weekend of her illustration course’s final exhibition and I was blown away by the work I saw there, I only wish I had something better that the camera on my phone and could take more pictures, but I thought at the very least I’d share what I could with you all.

What a turnout!

The Grand Theater was packed today for our third year private exhibition showing and I’ve been told we’ve had many more come to view it on the open days too! Today was a great event and it was brilliant seeing everyone’s work up and getting the attention it rightly deserves, I couldn’t be more proud!

I had a rotten headache all day though which sucked, even after chugging a bunch of painkillers, which means I didn’t stick around for too long (I felt like a bit of a idiot walking around in circles too haha I’m not good at formal gatherings). Still, it’s been a good day, if you’re in the Swansea area anytime soon between now and the 8th of May, come down to Swansea Grand Theater and have a look, the doors open at 9:30am and close 5pm!

Much love,

Bleached
