It's Christmas! And its been a good one! I got some good presents for people, and people gave me good presents too. Jasmine got me a cool photography book, Dad got me Bob Dylan CDs and negative holders, Mum got me some stuff from H&M, and I got myself a Lomo Lc-a+! Hooray! Also, Ross gave me an old box brownie camera, its really kewwwwl.

I'm tired now.

Back to doing work tomorrow.

Oh, and Ross gave Helen a ring.

Heehee, I wonder if I could do some wedding photography...?

Last night was really fun. Jazz's mum took us into Oxford and we met Simon. He showed us round the college grounds and then we went to the dinner hall. It thought it looked just like Hogwarts rofls. But I didn't out loud, but then Jazz did so I was like HEHE ME TOO! The food was really goooood. Then afterwards we walked around and took photos and stuff. It was fun to get dressed up like that too.

I've totally been hit by the Lomo bus. Everyday I spend ages on the website looking at different cameras. I'm so gonna have to buy one for Christmas. But I keep changing my mind on which one I love the most. At the moment, I want the Diana F+ Deluxe kit. It's everything you'd ever need. I might ask for it, or maybe save up for it later. I'm sick of digital.

Oh yeah woo! I have film to develop on monday.

But uh oh... I also have to basically finish my project, and I've hardly started. The STUPID printer isn't working properly again, or I would probably have done a lot by now.

Phew. I'm tired.

Yesterday Simon asked me and Jazz to go to Oxford on Friday to a formal dinner. So we were like yay sounds cool... Amagawd I have nothing to wear.

So today I went to town with Ross because mum has a cold. We went in loads of shops but everything was lame. Then we went to Oasis and Ross picked out this dress and I was like meh but tried it on anyway. And it looked really good. Then the shop assistant was nice and found a belt and a shrug to go with it. So hopefully I'll look pretty nice for it.

I haven't actually seen Simon for like 2 years... it's crazy when you think about it.

So yeah now I'm really tired from running round town.

I'm home!

I wrote a diary when I was there but I'm too tired to post it now... I'll do it tomorrow.

It was fun, it snowed a lot.

We got back in time to get the cats from the cattery. I hate it when they aren't in the house.

Tomorrow we have to get up early to go get food and pick up Moppet.

Tomorrow we set off for Scotland! I'm excited, but now I'm a little nervous for some reason... I'm so weird.

I'm all packed, I got all my camera stuff ready, everything should be ok. If I forget anything I'm sure I could get a replacement up there.

I wonder where we'll go first...

And when we'll see the relatives...

I think I'll try and keep a journal while I'm up there, and post it here later.

Ahh, just thinking about the Scottish countryside makes me happy!

I love it when we're traveling up there, and the scenery starts to change...

At college the other day, we watched a film about Annie Leibovitz. She really is amazing, I'd love to be as good as her. Gotta practice!

I hope I come back from Scotland with good photos, good health, and good feelings.

Yesterday I got all my hair cut off! Its a kinda pixie crop. I looove it, but my ears keep getting cold. I love getting new hair. When it looks good anyway. At first Maria cut it so it was a crop at the back but still quite long in the front, but it looked basically the same as my old hair so I got her to cut the front bits off.

I wish I could get a new wardrobe to match my new hair!

This week and next week Ross has time off work, so hes been round a lot playing Warcraft. His internet should be working soon at his place, so then he'll take his computer back there. I was going to do photography stuff but I played WoW with him instead... And then later when I was going to do some more I started playing Super Mario...

I'm so bad at getting work done.

I'm just excited about going to Scotland... I just hope I don't get too behind with it all.

Today Jazz came round and we did lots of portraits. I got some really nice ones. I think I have quite a lot now, maybe I'm not in as much trouble as I thought I was. I have some good ones of Ross too. I would still like more though, to have some different faces in my workbook.

Yesterday I went to Michael's. He made brie and broccoli tarts, they were reallllllly yummy. Its so sweet how he cooks things like that. ^-^ We played D+D, it was really fun, but I didn't really understand it until the end.

In the week I ordered a new coat, something warm for Scotland. It came really quickly, its soooooo nice and warm. And it has a hood with fur around it, and the inside of the hood is all fleecey and lovely. I have some boots that should come soon too, they should be good for walking and they have nice lining in them. I hope they fit.

I've decided to get my hair cut into a crop this week. It should be easier to take care of, and it'll be good for Scotland so I can just have a quick shower in the morning and not have to worry about it the rest of the day. I hope it turns out good...

Owowow... pins and needles in my foot. >_

This morning I went to the MEA because yesterday class was canceled. We've been given homework to do while there aren't any classes but I have enough trouble with the project.

I wonder what would happen if I just didn't do it...

Ross let me borrow Super Mario Galaxy yay! He said he has lots of work so he wouldn't have much time to play it.

I probably shouldn't have got it, now I'll want to do even less work... (-_-;)

I found a blue on WoW and sold it for 60g yay! Now I have over 500g.

Today I went to Ross' to do some portraits, but it was so dark I only did a few. I'm getting quite worried that I don't have enough...

But it was really fun, they cooked some really nice sweet n sour chicken and we watched strictly come dancing... And most of the time I was playing Super Mario Galaxy. Its SO much fun. I really want my own copy now, but I don't have any money...

Oh yeah, it was really rainy today, and there was a toad on the patio. I've never seen one here before. There used to be quite a lot at our old house. Max didn't like it much.

Today I went to the chiropractor and he used a laser on my back! I was very sore afterwards. Not because of the laser, that was fine. Its funny having a male chiropractor now, hes very strong.

We didn't go to the MEA office today because mum has a cold. I slept till 1 again today, so even if we were going to go I would probably have been late.

I did quite a bit of work today hooray! But afterwards I realised I only have 3 weeks to basically finish it.. and I'm no where near done. I've hardly taken any photos.

(T_T) I just want to go on holiday!

Why is it I have so much time but hardly use any of it properly?

I guess because I'm so tired most of the time, but still, it really bugs me.
