I’ve been working like crazy to hurry along my latest art project for school. I won’t give away my idea yet, but here is my testing of colours.

Please don’t focus on the crappy eyes… they don’t look realistic at all. I was practicing using blue tones as the entire painting will be done with those. It is very simple and quickly done, but it gave me a better idea of what I am planning to do. The artwork will be based on Misguided Ghosts by Paramore, which is the text of the project. I don’t like Paramore at all, but I like the lyrics of this song as I feel it relates to how I’ve been feeling about things in my personal life. I’m going to try and not get all deep now xD

And my photography project is almost done. I’m so slow. The pictures are finished, but the display won’t be ready for another few weeks. My art teacher just put up the prints for the exhibition last week, but only by themselves.

I didn’t actually realise anyone from school read this. Not that it bothers me. Hell, it’s not like I’m writing on here like it’s a fucking diary. Anyway… nothing to rant about really. I’m bloody exhausted -_- I managed to get quite a bit done in Art today, so that’s good. I still need to fill my sketchbook up with painting technique tests that I’ve left blanks for O.O I don’t know WHY I ever did that, because now I HAVE to fill them in! But I have my project idea, which we have to start next Monday. We only have four weeks left, before the control test which I’m looking forward to but also kinda dreading. Hopefully it’s something GOOD. The only hard thing is that when it comes to the actual TEST (after the few weeks of preparing it) we can’t ask for advice from the teacher. Which actually is no problem for me, because I never do that anyway. I’m stubborn, hate being told what to do and never believe anyone except myself. I’m real trustworthy (: lol

I might upload a painting I did of my idea later on to dA. It’s just a test to see how it looks and how I’m going to paint it. At the moment I’m planning to use transfer solution to put the reflections in the eyes separately as I don’t know how I’d paint them, especially with only blue tones xD

So pretty dull blog entry, I just like keeping up to date. Any interesting stories?

What do you think of my new theme? I liked the simplicity of the last one, but I wanted something different and I liked this one! I can’t really blog about much because I have so much studying to do and I’m already procrastinating… I have to catch up loads with Latin, because I didn’t learn it much in class. My plan for this weekend is to do physics, maths, latin and german. I have those over Monday and Tuesday. Then I can spend Monday and Tuesday revising the subjects for Wednesday etc. Ugh… Revision advice is always welcome.

Nothing much else has been going on. I’ve been ill for a while, so mainly recovering and trying to study at the same time. My two week long migraine still hasn’t disappeared. Maybe it has something to do with me stressing about school? Well, my doctor suggested I see a counsellor. Yay, a head shrinker! Doubtful. If I don’t talk to my friends, I’m not gonna talk to a stupid lady in stupid white coat (my imagination is running away with me).

Funniest Supernatural episode ever: Yellow Fever

I’ve been writing more of my novel. I think I’m as far as 24000 words, but I’m too lazy to check. I use Celtx for writing my stories too, because it’s prettier than OpenOffice. But unfortunately it doesn’t have a word count, so I have to copy and paste, which I’m too lazy to do. Remember to check out http://missdanabanana.deviantart.com for updates and any new photographs I’ve taken!

I try not to talk about school too much, because I know it’s a boring subject and nothing unordinary. I’m studying for my mock exams and the moment, knowing I should have started at the start of the holidays. I revised loads last time and wasn’t overly happy with my results. They were good enough, but my science results sucked (parents were not pleased) and I’m having to resit them. So when everyone else is finished with their GCSEs, two weeks later I have to do more exams. Yay. I think some others will probably be resitting too, so at least I won’t be the only one. I can’t believe how goddamn awful I did on multiple choice! Pathetic! Haha.

I’ve taken some good pictures in the snow recently. More are over on my deviantart page.

Haven’t been sleeping well and I’m always tired >.< Plus I feel like I haven’t exercised in so long. I was planning on going swimming in the holidays but with Christmas and now studying, it doesn’t seem like I’ll have time. I’d probably go if we lived in the city, but because we’re in the country it’s so much effort to get my mum to take me and pick me up again. Can’t wait till I can drive!

Well I have to get back to my history revision. South Africa, here I come!
