I'm sending shane bernier an 8th Birthday Card. Are you?
I've been thinking this place is long overdue for a brand new layout, so the sooner I get the results back for the pink-robots art contest, the better. Since changing the colours of my deviantart page, I've had itchy... er... fingers! I will also be making a subdomain for my modelling portfolio, which will need a sparkly layout to draw in viewers... so that's another thing on the agenda.
Exam season is looming ominously on the not-too-distant horizon (Tuesday, actually) which means I have become victim to a state of extreme panic, neuroticism and paranoia. However, I have managed to put off studying all day, and yet I have ironically still complained of having "nothing to do."
I think I need to get my act together and do some revision before the big day - or else... ...well, I just don't want to think about it.My exams are on May 22nd (English Language), June 5th (French and Politics) and June 6th (History.) After that, I'm on study leave until I come back from holiday on June 20th. I go away on the 16th, which gives me a bit of time to just chill. But for now, I must revise hard and earnestly if I want to achieve good grades - please, please, please wish me luck! I need it.
My first photoshoot is on May 27th, and lasts until the following evening - talk about intensive! But I am really, really looking forward to the insight and experience I am sure to gain from the time I will spend there. The shoot itself is in two parts: a location shoot in Birmingham, and a studio shoot in Coventry. The studio shoot alone will take a total of ten hours... so I think I am going to be very tired by the end!
Because the venue is so far away, I've had to plan lodging for the weekend. So, my itinerary has turned from a short stint to a full holiday away from home!
Go to London Paddington Station, with a quick detour to camden markets to pick up a few things. I love that place. 
Take a train from Paddington Station, London to Malvern Station, Worcestershire (this journey will take about three hours.) I then spend time with loppi in Worcester, before going to see pirates of the caribbean: at world's end with her family. 
I stay overnight at loppi's for two days. On the Sunday, I then take a train to Birmingham from Worcester, where I meet the people I will be modelling for, and we do our location shoot for the day. I then get whisked back to a hotel in Coventry for an all-expenses-paid, pampered night in! Excellent! Not enough time to relax, because then it's off to the studio in Coventry for the ten-hour photo shoot the following morning. At 6:30PM on Monday, the shoot finishes and I get the bus from Coventry to Victoria Station, London, then to find a train back to Colchester.Whew! It's going to be tiring, I think... but well worth the time, I'm sure. It's an opportunity I am ever so grateful for having... and one I just can't afford to pass up!
